Man it's too much negativity today on here and Twitter...between the snow drought and the Ravens, misery abounds! I gotta get off of both these things, lol Can't start off the New Year like this!

Yeah hard to say if it's gonna be cold enough in time. I had some optimism for that window, but ehhh....that might go in psu's log book unless we get some cold air from somewhere! (I mean can we get a little bit? Lol)

To me the defense has been dominant at times. But as you said...the offense ain't scoring enough! The defense is just frickin' gassed by the last 2 mins of a game. I mean they basically can't even give up one TD without us losing, smh

Don't even know what you're referring to dude, lol

Well, there was really only one drive that really sucked (the punt return to the 40). But overall I don't view this as a game where we just blew it...Steelers just had a great game plan and went after our stout run def and actually beat it! All the same...it still sucks that two of the three home primetime losses have been the Steelers...boooo!

Not to mention the gift from Heyward, lol And Likely must've heard me...was just expressing that I was a bit disappointed with his play so far...and there he goes! (but I think he's gonna really breakout year 2)

I'm 10 mins late, but that was an excellent goal line stand on that last drive--Big boy play by Stephen's there!

But aren't we talking about a pattern as opposed to a discreet threat like that one? We're talking more longwave pattern here, right? The advertised pattern last month did materialize...but as Ralph aptly put it...we coughed up the football, lol But what the ens and sometimes the ops are showing is not nina-like even if single op runs show misses (which shouldn't matter beyond 10 days). Can we really know yet?

Yeah this does not feel like your typical nina. I mean...the last 4 we had before this one...weren't they all colder on the front end? (Some cold/dry, others like last year cold with some snow around). This one seems a bit unusual...

I think eventually we'll get used to the state of things. We may need to just let go of how things used to be (difficult but possible since eventually expectations will be lowered, lol) And like you said, none of this suggests we can't still get bigger snows It's just that the totals in between may become more mediocre. That part is kinda sad at times, but in the New Year I'm tryin' not to get too sad/depressed about weather. Not sure it's worth the energy (I say that but it ain't gonna be easy to let go of some stuff...We've certainly had some fun times!) But again...I think we can still get big snows!

Gotta be careful on the PBP (especially for those of us with less experience, lol)

Yeah you right I do...I think it's just recency bias. During this brutal stretch all the Miller B attempts have flopped...so perhaps my perspective is indeed a bit skewed!

Whoa holllllldup...I'm reading an article that said the first of the 2010 twin blizzards was a Miller B? Huh...

*tries to bite tongue about Miller Bs being awful for yard* So I'm wondering...do Miller As really only exist in niños? (I'd like to see a chart of just how many of our coastal were As or a hybrid vs Bs) I mean they seem to only happen a few times a decade!

Thanks for the write-up! (I'll try to look past you saying Miller B since the rest was so good )

Ah dang it for the life of me I couldn't figure out the "k", haha Carry on

Afk?

Do positive analogs even exist anymore? Like frickin' bad news bears nina and nino...not one positive comparison! Incredible, lol Now...83 and 98 were super niños, right? So of course we don't have that...unless the pattern does indeed resemble a niño? Now of course 1992 ya had the Pinatubo effect (now ironically we're almost a year removed from the Hunga Tunga eruption--the effects of which are yet to be determined?) Overall yes it does make sense we want more modoki to not flood too much mild air East (thanks for the clarification there). So then...how does the niño-like look we got now mix with the nina? I'm not sure we have the final outcome on that...but is the torch for Jan really lookin' that bad, tho?

Foggy indeed...kinda cool actually Don't get fog into the noonday too often here! (although I think it did happen earlier this year)

Man is that it's bias after it's upgrade? Coastal action outta nowhere? Lol

Not sure if you've put me on ignore or not (I am getting better, btw), but I was gonna say...Is it wrong to suppose that it looks a little more split-flowy (i.e more nino-ish) past next weekend? Or something that doesn't look nina-like, lol

I'm using the 5 day rule from now on...if it's still there on Monday then let the reeling in begin, lol

You're a mean one, psu You're heart's a snowless hole You've got bad stats at every turn You want to watch the forum burn Psuuuuuuu-U! You're a super nina SE ridge and pac puke sandwich... With +AO saaaauuuuuce!

Lol That would be tbe biggest joke ever if we go from raging negative to raging positive in the same dang season

I'm telling ya there's a lot riding on that mod niño next year, lol
