40/70 Benchmark

If you actually think about what he said, its not a big leap of faith. He simply noted that the PV is nearing record strength in latter January, which it is, and that that is often correlated to a milder February. Not exactly a detail oriented long forecast, nor a way to drum up hits from a group of weather enthusiasts craving blizzards. Ugh....I need to do something else.

No, but it makes it unlikely that he is simply "trying for hits", which is what you implied.

He is the chief met in a major Boston market and just published a popular book, I think he's good in that respect. May just be that he feels this winter blows.

I'm all for that, at this point TBH. Gladly reshuffle milder....nothing redeeming about this to me. I'll take a mild few weeks, and hopefully gear up for a big finale in early March...if not, the end will at least be in sight. I've started draft prep this week...earliest ever.

I'm still right there with you, Steve, but I need to step back right now because I don't have anything constructive to add at this time. I'm just too frustrated and don't want to ruin every thread. Enjoy the anafront deal....I have zero interest in that. I look to end January with not much more than the 10" that I have right now, which is a very ominous juncture climo wise....4 seasons, which were all ratters. That said, I just refuse to believe that this is a rat, unless its a cleverly disguised rodent, like 1979-80. Laying low for now.

I'm out until something is more imminent....this is brutal. Time to start the futility watch IMBY and chase 1980...still have 9.9" to go.

Normally when winter sucks, I can start to look forward to my fantasy draft, but I can't even get that to verify this year.

I think he does.

I'm sure its nailing the fog banks over in England.

More VA snow...this season reminds me of 1979-1980.

Do you copy and paste every single post you make to the group online? lol

See what it does with 1/24...if that sucks, I am taking a break.

Where is Jeff's kick the can GIF....going on a month now....

I can afford one of the two to not work out...the high escaping, or the low cutting, but not both. Back near ORH and up to you can still get a decent thump with both. I am too close to the ocean for that.

I hear ya...if the euro looks like crap, I will probably be right behind you.

Still would have been a nice SWFE if the damn high was better positioned.

Well, you would expect it to suck cutting to BGM.

This has been the most challenging season to forecast in the medium range that I can recall.

Of course the one that worked out did precisely that-

Like a mine Feb '69 deal.

Well, it says 1/22 through 1/24...not just 1/22.

Nice hook-and-ladder scenario via N stream capture.

Sorry, my mistake.

Well, the last part of the post wasn't there when I quoted it.

Of course, the fluky interaction the produced a cutter was locked and loaded from several days out lol
