40/70 Benchmark

Yea, its immaterial to me...I still think next season is el nino. I agree about the reversal in 1992, as well. Yup.

All I am saying is that I have been on this forum tracking storms in great detail for over 15 years, and it's always been apparent that the NAM excelled at resolving mid level warming. It doesn't mean it's a better model, but it does have some strengths. It became apparent during the SWFE laden seasons of 2007-2008 and 2008-2009.

The other dude is clearly new here.

With respect to the mid level warm tongue in SW flow aloft, it would....you are wrong. I'm not saying that the euro hasn't had issues since the upgrade, but the NAM has always been the best model to detect that.

I didn't look and won't because I don't care....just going off of what they said.

I disagree with you. The NAM has always excelled with mid level warming...always.

Yea, the upside is 35 and rain. Personally, I'd rather warm sector.

I don't think it's that big of an indictment of the euro...its well known that NAM excels with respect to mid level warm tongues.

I was already convinced that we would go into el nino. Volcanic eruptions can also cool the polar strat...at least initially, so it's not that simple. Pinatubo in 1991 had that effect IMO.

Yikes....OT

I'll take my chances on that unique butt-banger evolution not taking place again.

At least there aren't any little red Ls over Binghamton

5.7/ -10 and waiting on the rain

Are you new here?

11.3 high here

Oh, I agree....comment was more to you than at you.

I'm at the point where I am over climaxing from pattern looks...I need to see a big event consistently inside of day 4.

Can't wait until we get this Monday abortion out of the way so the focus shifts.

Interesting take....I'd have no problem reliving 2001 here, and 4/97 in Wilmington haha. That makes sense, though.

I think over by Rockport and Goucester, I would pick the January 1978 event...before the OV and SNE blizzards. A bit further down by Peabody, Danvers and Lynn....toss up between 12-05-03 and 1-22-05, but I would have to go with the latter bc there was already a deep antecedent snowpack.

Suprised no Feb 2013 mentions yet...

Yea, it would be Jan 22, 2005 on the cape for me. My sister had a summer house in Falmouth at the time....and I stayed home in Wilmington. Will never forgive myself.

We reminisce......

March 5, 2001 for Methuen, MA April 1, 1997 for Wilmington, MA.

Imagine if you will being in a season and a foreign land in which winter does not suck and KU set ups will not produce rain...you unlock the door to another dimension of winter ecstasy with the key of weenie imagination...beyond it is another dimension of snow, a dimension of wind, and a dimension free of subsidence, Hadley Cells and deconstructive wave interference. You are moving into a land of both deformation and CSI banding....you are crossing over into the Winter Weenie Twilight Zone- You have ONE storm to replicate in your back yard....what will it be?
