Are you kidding? Lol

We didn't need to know how long ya sat on the can...

Get a load of this Heinicke dude...a pleasant surprise for WFT fans, I'm sure!

I take it we have ample cold air with that?

Aren't GL lows more prevalent during Nina's due to them being more NS dominant? Or is it something else?

Ya trying to set this thread on fire again?

So you want cran without the berry?

That's not a Miller b or a heartbreak I thought it looked more like that this run with the ns energy further south

Well, I see the PSU heartbreaker came back this run...lol But ya know what? If some semblance if this happens, the Farmer's Almanac is gonna be right again! It hit the December storm right on the nose (obviously the coldest stuff stayed north though), and Christmas...Now it literally says... 12-15th..."Coastal storm brings heavy snowfall to upstate New York, central/northern New England; wintry mix farther south"...haha

I keep floating the idea of a snow psychology thread...call it group therapy, lol I'll bet if we just let it all out there...and talk about why we feel the way we do about snow...less would leak out in the main thread. The Panic Room to me feels too permanent with all the reaping...but if we kinda exchanged ideas about our various thinking about snow and such...perhaps that would help.

Yeah I was like...seriously? Lol Gonna get on me, but give him a pass? I guess if that's the standard, if you complain, I guess as long as you post a model map in the same post as said complaint you're contributing and not part of the problem!

I don't make the doom posts much though...this was my first since early last year. I ask more questions than anything else.

Now see, I don't go in there as much because I'm uncomfortable with the death iconography...(which is why I've never been "reaped")...but even banter is better than in here I suppose.

Hi, new doom poster here (although today was my only day, I've been optimistic until now) Get some snow in here and it'll get better...lol I blame the 5 year warning snow drought many of us have been in. Of the last 10 years, I think the last four or five have been kinda brutal...probably accumulated frustration. That being said...I hear ya. I learn a lot from the knowledgeable posters here, and I'm sorry some have left...we all gotta be better. It's just something about snow psychology...it's an emotional thing or something...

Dang man...I didn't realize February could go to crap...now I'm a bit nervous. It is never comfortable to just have one window. Too much can go wrong, and you have to pin your winter hopes on one or two chances. See I was hoping we were gonna finally hang on to the -AO/NAO regime and have windows into mid-February. But now I read Isotherms outlook and he says it might break down and go positive in February? Hope he's wrong...now if we can cash in second half of January...that'll be fine Dang it, man... @psuhoffman so you mean to tell me had that stupid pac warmth in November hadn't happened, we'd already have more snow? Smh I hope that doesn't screw us over...not when we finally got the elusive winter -ao/nao. We don't know when we'll see this in winter again...I hope we can take advantage of it somehow.

Well I mean...that SER flexing in February idea is a bit scary...and I know Isotherm is usually pretty good, right? I just don't want a scenario where we don't see a flake for two separate reasons (first not enough cold and then too much) and have that happen in February. Wouldn't that be game over?

Oh dang really? So that would mean we'd HAVE to score by the end of January. I mean we still have time, but I'm wondering how long that cold dry will last. But we have to get the cold in here, though...so we may have to deal with that just to build up the cold we need...because if we don't, we won't get anywhere with our current airmass either, right? I guess it's a matter of hoping we get the cold that has the side effect of being dry...but that it doesn't last so long that we lose the month.

True, lol

Whoops! Didn't look at the year...c'mon @Ralph Wiggum just why? Lol

Careful...that might be the Miller B screw job PSU warned about...don't fall for it! I'm not paying that weekend a bit of mind!!

Mods, I see y'all had to put a special red bar at the top of the site, hahaha I'm sure folks have been actin' a fool today! Thank you!!

Feels like you oughta make a thread with just this post and have the mods pin it at the top, lol

But I'd argue, though...with the weak sauce cold that we haven't been able to build yet...how can we possibly have a good HECS pattern? Is it possible that we could, temporarily be a little stuck between needing a period of legit cold...yet getting that cold brings would bring more suppression before it relaxes? In other words...right now, we struggle for cold and need a phased out bomb...lessening a chance for big snow. Yet if we get legit cold we need to give ourselves a better airmass to work with...could end up giving us a hopefully temporary period of suppression? (I know my thoughts are a tad jumbled but I hope my point is clear)

Now my thing is...if we are headed into the extreme cold...I have to wonder if we have until the week of the 20th to get any precip before the cold gets too suppressive (after which I guess we'd have to wait for another relaxation?)

I'm telling ya those are bad for mental health...lol
