In response to this part...I definitely would not say any storm--especially not in a nina, lol Coastals tend to be Miller B's in this ENSO state, unfortunately. Better to expect what we saw back in February--and perhaps we can get some front end. Now yeah a clipper pattern can work in a nina (I think). But there are other elements that occur in the short term that we just can't nail down this far out. Fwiw, my developing philosophy (at least for this winter) is just to always have the current enso state and it's tendencies in mind.

Beautiful. I wish I had saved some screenshots!

Kinda average to a little above up here...23.1"...and 12 of that came in March, lol

I thought mid 40s were a little more common? Median?

And here I was thinking low to mid 40s on Christmas Day wasn't too much to ask...lol

It ain't right, I'm telling ya...

You've gotta be kidding me, smh Feels like we can't get a dang cold Christmas anymore! (although last year at least it got cold behind that front)

I wouldn't be so sure--we have enough to catch fire. I mean...we are still somehow in first place despite all of this...so ya never know! (Ironically December 2012 also had a three game losing streak in Weeks 13,14, and 15, lol) I mean not saying for sure...but just that the ingredients are there for us to catch fire if it's meant to be!

Yep. I'm still wishing Harbs pulls a 2012 and fires him before the playoffs...this is ridiculous

Heretic! Heretic!!!

Hey, that's how we got like 18" in a nina a few years ago (2017-18 I believe). I think that year schools used all their snow days because all the little events happened during rush hour! Was pretty funny actually, lol

Hmm...Is it wrong that I wish we woulda had this NOT in a nina? Lol Cause ya kinda know that even with tanking AO/NAO we'll still be fighting enso...but perhaps, as psu mentioned in his outlook, this means a still below average but not as crappy nina. But dang what we wouldn't have given for that a couple years ago!

Now see...I didn't have any expectations for precip next week...but dang if we get another torched Christmas...BOO! I'm hoping we can just pull of a good ol' fashioned 40-45 degree Christmas, for crying out loud.

Our responses to fantasy snow are interesting...When we see it on a run, it's almost like, for a moment, we can almost feel it happening. That excitement/the good feels...I guess that explains the angst over the digital "snow" being "taken away" in a future run. A strange psychology...lol

No it ain't! Don't worry the squash foot is a-comin...euro run from earlier probably has the right idea.

So...what's the over/under on ninas with a -NAO? (that actually have cold air to work with, that is)? Make any difference? Or is this to specific of a thing to look at?

Ya know, I can't stand squash...(would literally rather eat anything else). Ninas are met squash...disgusting!

I mean ya know what I mean...in other words we'd rather see too amped and warm at Day 2 or 3 than not, right? Lol

Now...given the nina squash tendencies, do we like...wanna root for seeing something more amped at first to make room for said squashing? Lol

I continue to believe that if we manage to get in, something could happen. You just never know!

Seriously...saw that video, and that is an epic still shot (one for the books)...wow. Those poor folks!

My goodness...chilling. That video has got to get an award. Perfectly captures the terror of what happened last night...mercy

Can't be too many more terrifying things in severe weather than seeing the outline of a large tornado in a lightning flash...at night. Wow

A literal yin-yang sons of thunder...my goodness (although I don't know exactly what I'm looking at, sounds like it's kinda historic, no?)

Been trying to resist commenting on here lately, but I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling burned by last year's "no cold air around" -NAO...lol How would you compare this to last year?
