Wasn't trying to fight. Just expressing disappointment is all

@psuhoffman Man I hope you're wrong (except about the part where this part of this is due to more transient factors, lol). But if you're right...gonna be more a bit more hurt around here. Imagining a future reality of less snow saddens me...that's gonna be tough to take...but what can ya do? I guess you just enjoy the heck out of the snow you get and don't complain, lol

Oh dear...we're skirting close to breaking the rules here...lol However if this is affecting our snow chances, it's gonna be a bit more difficult to avoid the discussion because of the way things have been (unless we keep mentioning it as generallyrics as possible, keeping it solely to observation related to snow)

I understand the desire for big snow...but ya gotta try not to get sucked in by one run that shows a monster result...I try not to let my mind go to "big" until there's consistent evidence that such an outcome is firmly on the table. Otherwise you risk not enjoying what measurable snow you do get (like if you're looking 12" and we get 6"...we can still enjoy that!) I think a more reasonable bar is WSW level...that's been my bar this year--since that's been so hard to get the last few years, lol But I will admit...part of me is hoping February delivers a bigger one somehow...

Dude I was thinking the exact same thing, lolol

Given that the para, cmc, and even euro are all colder...not sure we should buy it

Now isn't suppression more nina-like because of the tendency toward more NS activity? (I remember at one time in Jan 2018 seeing a parade of HP's coming down the middle of the country, lol

Couldn't stay away, could ya?

Define "lately"...Just this year, or did you see something between 2016 and now? Again I'll mention the "bomb cyclone"...lol

Ya know how they say "pics or it didn't happen"? Well now we're in here like "EURO or it didn't happen", lol

According to him even then he's still stressed during the storm and then disappointed when it's over and the snow starts melting. (and I'm not making that up, lol) It makes absolutely no sense...and I thought my snow psychology was wonky, lol

How do we know this isn't unique to just this season, though? You mentioned yesterday about the PV pushing cold to the other side of the globe and the fall torch...how do we know that's not what's doing this? I mean...It still snowed in the 2018-19 winter, didn't it? How do we get snow in the south, and even the January system that year, if the overall base state is bad? And with last year's +++++++++++AO...can we even count that year? Lol Maybe I'm thinking about these things too simplistically, or maybe I'm just looking for optimism, but...I'm just wondering.

Yes but remember the discussion about the GFS and it's data...if true, and we see 18z get a little worse again, (and no improvement on the euro) this could be the beginning of the ticks...

And you're able to stay above all, eh?

Actually it was a baby step in the right direction...still closer than 12z or last night's 0z

Other thread?

I hear ya brother...I think even the most stoic among us took that punch this morning, lol

I'm halfway expecting the 0z euro to look like the para this run...which would still be progress

Now do you say that with sarcasm or do you also get rolled coaster emotions with this hobby? Lol

Which model is that?

Wait, so lighter rates of freezing rain cause things to be more slippery than heavier rates?

I didn't know the models did purple (you can see it right over DC, lol)

Sweet mama...do I see a little purple in there too? Lol

Occasionally may be about the most healthy amount of time to be on this board in the winter...lol

Now I was wondering if it was an improvement...because that run a bit of snow still got up here, right? I thought that was still better than 0z as well...but I thought it was just my snow weenie brain trying to find something, lol I guess tonight's 0z is gonna be telling if we see the euro trend better...
