    My bigger worry for the post Xmas threat is a miller b screw job not cutter. I’m talking about the Dec 28 period. Anything after that is way too far out to worry about. 

    Count on it...none of of our bigger snows have come between Dec 25th and New Years...something always seems to happen (i.e. Dec. 2010.) It's just a time where the atmospheric dice don't roll right, lol

    I have three sons.  They know the words to all my fav 80's songs...Their friends come over...they like those songs too..  it surprised me to hear them say today's music sucks.

    Your kids are smart. I grew up with The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Stones, the Who, Peter Frampton, Van Halen, etc... Todays music just doesn't compare. 

    Hello! From the Mid/Atl thread but I lurk up here occasionally! (transferred the quotes hear so as not to take the other thread off topic). 

    But as a musician who regularly rants about how terrible today's music is, I couldn't help but chime in and agree here. I am also stoked to hear your kids are enjoying music from other decades...and I'm actually encouraged that they came to a similar conclusion about the quality (or lack thereof) of today's music! And I believe that's evidence that this generation CAN appreciate better music if given the chance. I often wonder if it's a matter of exposure (or again, lack therof)...You may not realize you're getting fed musical slop from a lot of "current" music if you don't have anything better to compare it to! And for the record industry...if people keep buying up the slop, is there real motivation to change? Ya gotta wonder...

    And even worse is seeing some artists who were popular even 20 years ago start watering down their music to fit the "current" sound (and in this case current too often becomes musically mediocre). I could go on, but...just thought I'd add my two cents!

    Happy Anniversary @mappy!  Dec 19 was one of my favorite DC snowstorms, seen them all since 1998 when I moved to DC, something about a Blizzard just before Christmas was magical though!  Plus I was hammered Blizzard eve at my work Christmas party, stumbling home as it was starting...and yes the snow was up to my Golden’s eyeballs that evening!

    Yes. And if you believe the means it anchors in and meanders around the general NAO region. So hopefully as you said timing and luck can play a role when it ventures into the more favorable areas. GFS op is eye candy wrt HL blocking the entire run and even becomes more favorable farther out. But alas....op at range so salt grains and all that jazz.

    Yeah don't wanna have to rely on luck and timing for anything...lol Let's hope it sets up in a better position!

    Shoot...even when we can get the PV to split, then we gotta get it to split the right way? Always something, lol

    Yeah it's not good, but the real dagger would be if it mutates into something that screws with the vaccines.  There is a lot riding on the vaccines to get us back to normal life.

    Let's pray that doesn't happen...mercy, we don't need that at all!

    looks like we get a brief shot around xmas...then after there is at least cold air around to tap.  We have been paying for the god awful November still.  It was so bad...one of the worst November's every...that it wasn't easy for the thermal profile of North America to recover.  

    Last month felt like the exact opposite of the last two November's...they were pretty cold  weren't they? And then there were the head fakes that the pattern to follow would be good...and it turned bad instead. Now wouldn't it be funny if the opposite happened this year? Lol

    Well, I think we can give both farmer's almanacs a win on yesterday's storm! :lol: 

    Farmer's Almanac:

    "Dec. 12-15th: Major East Coast Storm"

    Old Farmer's Almanac:

    "December 11-17: Snowstorm North, flurries south"

    By mid December I knew we were in trouble...and by Xmas I knew we were completely screwed and likely headed for a total dud winter.  We were looking at a combination of the worst possible pacific pattern and NAM state possible...and judging by the onset of those two patterns combined with the typical duration of both when they present at that level of anomaly...history said both were likely to continue through the majority of our snow climo.  The history of such years with that pacific and high latitude look was really ugly. 

    Right now everything up top looks more favorable.  The pacific is more murky.  The Euro weeklies resume the central pac ridge look week 3 and keep it locked in straight through...there is a -AO most of the time but mostly ruined by the awful pac.  However...the models were doing that by Xmas not long ago and then backed off.  It seems they "think" we should be going to that out in time...but like it past years when they thought things would get better, keep pushing that look out.  What has ended up the reality is a mediocre but not completely hostile pacific.  If that continues and the AO remains negative we should have a decent winter.  So far things look better then I expected.  

    Now when was the last time we actually had a great pac? Lol
