This. I think we HAVE to start looking at it this way. And eventually I think we're gonna get used to whatever the new reality is (it still stings because it's kinda new). We can continue to enjoy snow when it comes, but I think we gotta stop looking at NOT getting it as some objectively bad thing. Maybe not using terms like "alarming" and "worrying" when it comes to the snow trends...maybe change the way we think about it (and adopt your perspective of snow being just one slice of the pie of things to enjoy). I'm starting to think that, at least for some of us, overtime we've been conditioned to view it as some big negative in life when it actually isn't. Now why this happend I have no clue...but I'm now asking the question: "So we got no snow...Why does that HAVE to be SO bad?" I mean hey, we just went through a historically bad winter and things are uncertain going forward...but we're still okay, ain't we?

The only thing worse is 0.0 inches, man. So being worse than this year is statistically unlikely!

I'm not sure you gotta dance around it any more man. It's hitting us right in the face...Hey I need to find a picture of that dang "Hadley cell" so I can put it on a punching bag...smh It has become an object of meteorological disdain!!! Hadley badley affects cold--BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Question is...what is this gonna look like in a niño? I mean dang of we got a split flow now...

Fyp

Yeah I mean I don't know if any March has ever salvaged a winter of futility. After skimming through the snow records...I guess March 1942 comes the closest, lol BWI had 4.2 inches (hey look! 4x what we have now! )before that storm.

PSU doing pbp? March is a strange month

What about the east-based ninos that weren't super? I though the super niños were the only ones that were overwhelmingly warm? (And two with one big hit, lol)

It really is. Next winter feels like a must-win, lose and you go home playoff game...I mean seriously! Lol There's a lot riding on it in terms of determining where we are, imo

El Niño showing up just a tad late for this year...lol But maybe if it can get the wheels going now we rockin' in 9-10 months? (assuming mod niños still work, of course). Official forecast is neutral going into the summer...

I just can't believe it got THIS bad--so bad we can't even get 1 inch. I mean 140 years of records and we are about to see the lowest! Mercy...can we buy an inch? Lol

I just want us to get a measley inch to avoid the futility record of 0.2", lol I mean even a dang mixed bag could get us that!

Man why did it have to go and do that, lol That ain't even right

I'm telling ya...I'm gonna be such a troll to ANYBODY who complains about it snowing a lot--I don't care how much of a warminista they are, lol

Haha Love this analogy! It's like we purposely tanked all year in order to get it too, lol

That there tells me this season is more of an anomaly...Even if the you know what is getting incrementally warmer, ain't no way the climo just dropped off a cliff THAT fast--that Vermont would be 45 and above average right now.

I know you said your opinions aren't predictive...but when you say that like that...it kinda feels like a "this might be a permanent problem for the future". Now maybe it is; in that case may as well come right out and say it, lolol

In the last words of Beethoven: "Pity, pity...too late!"

Now that I will NEVER do, lol Even if we aren't gonna snow as much, I need my four seasons! Even 40s is still wintery so I hope we can hang on to that, at least.

That's why despite that I'm still rooting for a legit niño next season...For me, getting one is gonna determine everything for years to come. If what has been our best enso state can't do it, nothing can, unfortunately. And in that case I'm gonna step back from this a bit. I mean it makes me sad it may be our future, but as I said in the other thread, gotta believe that we'll get used to it eventually.

Yeah I hope not...but this would be a typical nina March result, tbh I almost expect a 2018 redux but who knows. (But hey, at least this miss wouldn't be because it's too warm for no reason, lol)

Now that looks more like the typical Nina snow hole, lol

Was just about to share this (but wasn't sure where to put it, lol) Well that's a slap to the cerebellum...I mean who would've thought taking AWAY an emission became a factor in warming? Lol

I'm just watching to see if we can get just one dang inch and avoid the infamy of having the lowest snow total on record, smh

Ah c'mon man don't let your snow optimism go out the window now
