Anybody gonna start a foliage thread? Trying to pick just the right time to drive up to Friendly Farms (usually our family's autumn drive!)

Knowing that wretched climate they'll probably flood and/or mudslide....sheesh. I hope the in between seasons are worth it!!

But wait...didn't last year kinda reverse that? Remember how November torched? Lol

I mean...aren't la ninas usually colder on the front end anyway?

Translation? Lol

That is, assuming those still work, lol Certainly didn't last year!!

Nah I'm gonna bet the corridors probably hits it in December...ninas do tend to be colder on the front end, lol

I'm legit tempted to do this...lol Moderators likely wouldn't allow though!

I wouldn't say "cancel" as in a 2019-20 redux...just canceling for getting that elusive verified WSW, and the usual Nina heartbreakers northeast (Miller B city) and Midwest...and southeast, lol We could still get some good scenery snow...and eek out enough to get near median...but that's the most we get out of ninas. All else is the snowhole, typically. Listen I'm just going off of 2016-17 & 2017-18 where we saw this. And last year kinda the same (note the Miller B we got just the edge of). Chaos can happen, but it rarely does in a Nina, lol The other ENSO states at least have more possibilities, though the chaos makes NO guarantees.

Old Farmer's Almanac prediction actually sounds like a good Nina prediciton...cold and dry here, cold and snowy Midwest & Northeast. Folks say there's no magic formula, but of all the ENSO states...are ninas not the most predictable? I'm still waiting for someone to give me one example other than 95/96 where a Nina didn't do exactly as stated above...I don't understand why past ninas aren't reliable indicators of future ones. The other ENSO states vary--I get that--but ninas seem to be the most consistent in not getting us much snow. The 3 ninas we've had since 2016 have all behaved in a similar way (albeit last winter it was a bit warmer overall) Looking ahead...I'd like to get another shot at it next year to see where the ENSO is...because this year might be toast--although I wouldn't be surprised if we trip into median snowfall (which I'll certainly take over a shutout) a la 2017-18. But as always the snow hole is gonna be tough to watch...but thus ninas go.

Don't even bring that year up...lol Raging +AO a la 2019-20! Ack

I daresay this one hurts more...you can committee RBs...not so much star corners

Veey heavy downpour here! A few rumbles of thunder as well

Woo!!! Great shot!!

Particularly for the propensity to strengthen at landfall that's been the theme the last couple of years!

So ya wonder if this one tapers a bit for this winter?...

Again, that was the weirdest "Pure Imagination" I've ever heard...Willy Wonka went techno (or whatever you call that genre, lol)

Do you think this is a weaker nina than a year ago?

Sweet mercy what did they do to that song? Lol (although...I hate to admit it...it does kinda work with the overall vibe)

Guess it only counts if it threatens the CONUS?...

Anybody on here do fantasy football? Looking for at least one more player in the next hour or so!

I was about to say...the entire subforum is eerily quiet, lol

If the water rushing down the basement steps a la the NY subways...I'm guessing that's why.

That is some crazy stuff...but I'm glad your house was spared though! Mercy...

I hear ya buddy...my thoughts are kinda the same...disappointed to miss the extreme weather, yet thankful to avoid damage. But yet wanting to finally get in on a major event! It has been awhile...the severe outbreak a few weeks ago was the closest thing!!
