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!!

It'll get ya sounding the WagnerTuba in no time (especially with a big 32' bombarde...)

Now wait a minute, I could not let this post go by...that is a very specific musical analogy, hahaha Pray tell me the connection between constipation and Wagner on an organ! And I sense you are either a musician or a music lover!

Is it wrong for me to be a bit jealous? Lol (although not for the damage)

Wouldn't say "bust" but rather...we missed some of the fun (from an enthusiast perspective) stuff. I'm having weather envy myself...

Yes very close...I mean like I said I got mixed feelings...but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed and kinda jealous of everybody west/north/east getting a memorable event (minus the damage and casualties, that is). For some reason our part of the corridor was mostly shielded. I hope eventually we can have something to remember here again...it's been awhile. (Although the severe from a couple weeks ago was pretty awesome!!!)

I'm sorry we kinda missed it on our end of the I-95 corridor...I mean we got something but nothing too memorable aside from the Annapolis tornado

Daaaaang...

Definitely the heaviest downpour since last night! Guess it's trying to go out with a bang, lol Can you imagine having this all day??

Guess this is probably the last moderate/heavy burst of rain here in the city! We've been most shielded aside from last night's burst (that I apparently slept right through). Yeah we get out of it without damage...but ya know me...woulda loved a little more weather excitement (but without injuries! )
