If mother mappy starts it...we're all cleared of wrongdoing

Hate to admit but I'm (not surprisngly) in the same place, lol

That's what I'm wondering too...wondering what the difference is this time.

Hey remember when that ruined a storm last month? So we do have seasonal history that was a negative last time that could He a positive this time!

I think there's a pump for that...

I'm glad it's not just me thinking that, lol

Huh...ya wonder if this can turn into one of those fabled 6-8 inchers we (as in my yard ) don't get anymore.

And a Happy Belated 90th birthday the the great John Williams!

Hey now...I for one am on the record as saying I'd watch through PD weekend

Now all winter Wednesday has usually been the day we start to see stuff fall apart, take steps back, etc...Let's see if we can get a different trend today

Amazing how that thing can be bad at both modeling and putting out the hours in order...lol

Yeah they're in the shape of NS tails...lol

Agreed. I'd imagine we'd need to see this look hold/get better first

Those don't get the weenie emoji, lol

Apologies for needing the joke to be explained...enlighten me if you will, lol

Hey I'm with ya on this one...that period of time has always interested me more than this weekend...albeit perhaps this weekend can still get a little something!

Not sure you can call that a "hit' per se...cold chasing precip and all, lol BUT, it does continue to look stormy around that period but way too far out to know how

Sometimes, I'll check the models first, then decide if I wanna come on here, lol

Either that or I'd settle for that turning into a nice 50/50!

This. That's what was frustrating as heck last year. I think one storm that January we even had the low tucked in at the coast but it was just too warm! (And PSU was using his exclamation points, lol)

So you're saying that an NS dominant pattern doesn't have much to do with our struggles? Forgive me, but after being on here as we've had 4 ninas in the last 6 years...and the problem I repeatedly see IS that ns dominance making things more difficult (and yes spinning more you-know-whats), it's hard not to draw thar conclusion. And I'm not saying other enso states can't fail. But it seems to me that the ninas have the most junk to deal with. But that's another debate, I guess: Which ENSO state is the most hostile?

I never mentioned Miller B in my original comment... @WinterWxLuvr responded with that! I was thinking more about the NS dominance of Ninas and all the vorts screaming across and such. Now one thing I have learned that an stj in a nina doesn't mean too much without blocking...and also that it can be interfered with in a NS dominant

Man y'all ain't puttin' this on me...I ain't start the Miller B thing...I just said nina, lol

Yeah but if it's a better pattern is it really the same odds? If you're in a pattern (i.e LA nina) that has more misses than hits, I'd argue your odds are better just by having less junk against ya. No guarantees...just better odds. Just like if you have a block your chances are better without one. So if ya have SS dominance your odds are better than NS...

I ain't start that, though @WinterWxLuvrbrought it up. I was talking more about the NS dominance messing stuff up. I see that there's more to it, though.
