    Not sure that boundary gets pushed far enough south...and the GFS is doing nothing of the kind. This winter if the GFS ain't doin' it it ain't happenin', lol

    Listen I'm learnin', alright? Ya kinda called me out on that last year and I heard ya...just taking a bit and I'm learning with some experience I'm slowly embracing the chaos of all this It's just my nature to wanna know what gives the best CHANCE of something happening, what helps and what can get in the way...what might go right, what may go wrong...why something is happening. I'm a big WHY person. So if we can't expect anything...what good are LR discussions, then? Good patterns can mean nothing, bad patterns can mean nothing...so what's the point?

    Don't claim that...PLEASE

    Dang I didn't know we had that problem in niños too...why is it then that they tend to work a bit better? And what effect does blocking have on muting our progressive tendencies?
  5. Maestrobjwa
    Ya talking about in regards to the nina state or just in general?

    When the snow looks like fog you know you're gettin' blitzed, lol

    About to go to bed...but everything covered now! Just inside the band here! Definitely some blowing snow from the coastal cranking up. Haven't measured, but eyeballing 1-1.5" so far.
  8. Maestrobjwa
    Hey look! Lol Baltimore on the right side of the fringe! Thought the snow looked kinda blowy...lol

    Funny story...I actually forgot more was coming tonight and was kinda surprised to look out my window and see some surfaces cave, lol Huh...

    Yeah definitely far from the rational side of the brain, lol No matter how much I try to tell myself that this doesn't have to matter so much...that less rational part of the brain still wants to throw a fit. And yeah, I'm like you--I'll take one big HECS all day because they are indeed special. And yeah, I've lived here all of my brief 31 years...but I've been actively tracking on here for about 7-8 years. Ignorance was bliss...the misses still hurt but at least I didn't know the model runs yet, lol But perhaps time will take some of the sting out of these misses (and thankfully you only hear about it for a couple days!) Anyway, thanks for your thoughts!

    Hey it's making a comeback on 18z

    Ya know, I think what other people get, and having to hear about it through various things (TV, phone notifications, etc) bothers me much more than if the whole thing had whiffed everybody. I swear everytime I see it I wanna throw something, seriously. So a month where I get 10-12" can be dampened if 3 storms that include a blizzard just missed while I sit down here with consolation flakes. That is where the ROI is terrible...yet I feel like I have no choice because I need it to snow and, even more so, need to not see storms just miss...for such impacts mental health either way. Nothing worse than the emotional hangover from misses like this one. I know there will always be places that get more in any given season...but when you're sitting in your own 6-year "bigger one" drought, it sucks to keep watching the big ones miss. But I hear ya both though...finding ways to be grateful for what we DO get. As someone said, if we didn't know what was going on elsewhere, we'd be happy with a 10-12" January, lol

    Got some nice SN falling now. Trying to enjoy it...
  14. Maestrobjwa
    Lol And not just the TV...now I see the dang news notifications about it, smh VigIrously swiping away!
  15. Maestrobjwa
    Marcus would be proud Who? Lol

    I thought the ICON started to show something like that at the end of it's run.
  17. Maestrobjwa
    Listen, my expectations are based on what I've grown with. I don't expect snow to work out every year...it was never like that. But what DID happen? We'd get a foot every 3-4 years, and 2 feet every 6-7. And then you might get a 6-8 incher somewhere in between. So the bad years were a bit more tolerable because they would have a good year in between. No stretch had been this bad. So,;as both you and psu said, this stretch is a bit worse than usual--thus the reason for my frustration.

    One thing I have considered about the last 6 years: 4 of the 6 have been ninas, if I'm not mistaken. (2016-17 & 2017-18 were ninas, right?) Now maybe that's just a random fluke that would explain our recent struggles. Now the 2018-19 weak Nino that wasn't...I'm not sure we can count that. It was so weak that it never "coupled" per se. I am kinda keyed to see if next year is a legit Niño. But like you said, if that won't do it I don't know what will!

    Just want this weekend to be over with...I'll restrain myself from throwing something at the TV if I hear about the bomb cyclone pummeling other places, smh This is absolutely awful

    I had already given up on this winter before it started. I almost wanted to start a Winter 2022/23 thread, in fact (almost did) I wanted to completely skip over this winter. But then the January "nina with an stj" pulled me in because I thought the lack of stj was a mian problem in ninas. But no...we had one but the ninas is still Nina-ing. But man, even if you know it's coming, it still sucks to live through weekends like this. And it's been SIX years, dang it...SIX years. Worst lack of deep snow stretch we've been in in years...I can't get a dang warning level event in my yard. This is 6 years of pent up depression and frustration...if it can't happen this year, I sure as heck hope it happens next year.

    Oh for real? Nice! Which pieces?
  22. Maestrobjwa
    If we can't get a gradient deal with a bootleg 50/50 how in the world is anything else gonna work...and like, NOT turn into a Miller B? smh
  23. Maestrobjwa
    Whoooa hold up...TT has some Euro precip panels now? Nice!
  24. Maestrobjwa
    So yep, Canadian's got it...

    Now see, I caught some flack for being pessimistic about a nina...but look at the struggles last few weekends. I'd be willing to bet that an active NS equates to more junk getting in the way of the getting phasing we need at the timing we need. All it takes is a GL low (i.e the March 2018 storm that produced all that wind) or some elongated "tail"...and there goes your timely phase. It's just a lot of random junk flying around, it looks lime. Now...the question is, what would this weekend have looked like with a block? If we can get that 50/50 next weekend...does it make a difference? Hm...(I wish we had the thinking emoji on here, lol)
