I mean...a PAC jet dominated winter 3 (or is it 4?) years in a row doesn't warrant at least rational speculation? I mean it seems like we are in unknown territory here, does it not? Unless there was another time in our history where the dang PAC dominated several winters in a row? The lack of cold air source last winter despite the -AO/-NAO that typically gives us an above average winter? I don't know dude...And seeing as it's been almost 6 years since BWI saw a foot, or got too far above median, I'm really beginning to wonder. We haven't gone that long since the 70s. The 80s weren't quite like it...1983...2 footer...1987...above average. 5 year separation. We are working on 6 years...

Ruh-roh....I'll be heading up to Cecil County in a couple hours...hope we can beat the storms!

It's like we're talking about it modeling a Miller B...lol

Yeah it kinda sucks that we can't rely on that as much...because now it's more difficult to know what we need to work to get warning level snow in the corridor again!

So if we can't look at enso...ya wonder how even somewhat accurate winter forecasting even a month out can be, lol (not to mention analogs)

I guess the thing to watch now...is if this feature is permanent. Not sure how many winters in a row we need to see it before we make that determination, though...because if it's becomes permanent...are analogs kinda out the window? Lol

Eh...I wouldn't say the dullest. Imo we are just in the middle enough to make things interesting, lol But when it comes to snow...I think it's just gonna be a tempering down of expectations from pre-2017...a lot of great hits kinda spoiled us!

Ohhhh no you must be thinking of somebody else--not in a million years would a move down there, lol

Dang...that scenario makes ya go *gulp*...Because that might mean, and correct me if I'm being overly simplistic, that we need a legit, moderate-strong El Niño to get good snow (and we only get those what...once maybe twice a decade?) OR...is there another scenario where such pac modification would actually help?

And we haven't been able to shake that since 2016 have we?

But the blocking last year didn't do any good...did it?

Listen we may have to learn to be content with a few inches. I'm not sure we can get bigger snow anymore, tbh. Last winter...some good scenery snow that was beautiful to look at. If we can't get bigger snows I think I can take that as a consolation prize (I guess, lol)

Wow! Had no idea ozone was something you could actually smell! Is it only after tropical systems?

Come again? Lol

Now see had you not mentioned it I probably wouldn't have noticed the fox, lol

Whoa hey what's goin' on here? Where am I? Wow! And badges? Can I transfer over all my Pokémon ones?

Are you kidding? Looks like in the middle of Kansas or something!

Just waking up--one of the first headlines I see...and now the song is back in my head, lolol (ya know I actually like the song from a musical perspective!)

Wait, really? Those must've been rip-offs...lol I seem to remember the 2018-19 ending up being weak and never acting like a Nino. And what happened in 2019-20? I guess that was off set from the raging dragon ++++++++AO...lol But when was the last legit moderate one since 2016?

Is this kinda longer than usual to go between El Ninos?

So on a whim I bought Radarscope during tonight's storminess...lol Not the juiciest storm, but even so...have always wanted to have a nicer radar to follow!

Indeed

And lime sized hail is obviously followed by coconut...

So...what are we lookin' at...another back-to-back la nina event (again)? I know, too early to tell...but of it is...I'm gonna have to follow things from a distance for my own mental health, lol This would likely be the longest we've gone without a snowfall of a foot (in Baltimore) since the 1988--1992 period.... Was at a shopping plaza earlier that I hadn't walked to since getting the shovel before the 2016 blizzard...made me a tad sad! But...these are the times we live in...

Well that's the weekend Artscape used to fall on...so that's about right!! Lol
