Ah so you do care if it snows

My question is why do people buy into it...particularly after the last 8 years? I mean at least before that you had just had that heater the Mid Atlantic and Norrheast went on between 2010 and 2016...but now isn't hype more of the boy who cried wolf?

That thumbnail isn't a good "no-hype" first impression, lol

Perhaps I read too much into it. When you said "so much for 'it's the pacific'" I thought you were speaking out of dread of the larger issue. My bad

Hey that'd be a nice backdrop for Ravens-Steelers

I feel like he gets more depressing by the year...lol I mean on one hand I get it--there's an existential dread over a future where there's no cold anywhere (hence the arguing with the "excuses" even when no one mentions them) On the other hand...dang man. At some point we're gonna have to be at peace with whatever happens and just track the season in front of us.

Wait what about the basketball courts? Lol

Good to know the context even though it's annoying, smh So we actually DON'T wanna see something wound up...don't bet against history! But I am curious...is there a particular reason WHY it happened like that during those years? (Something with the cold neutral enso state that favored that kind of storm track?). The usual NS interference or something else?

Verbatim that low develops further south than Boxing Day doesn't it? Lol

Was thinking about thos earlier...how likely are weak ninas to double dip?

Low/mid 50s is what is considered a "torch" for the winter time, though. But perhaps this time around we're looking at something in the 40s neighborhood or lower.

Things like that always weaken the resolve to not look, lol

So the CEO shooter was from Towson? Dang

Lol Hey could ya blame me? But nah not obsessively--but I have been hoping that one of these years it would finally start to cool off...and of course we're hoping that -PDO will finally relent! (I'm unclear on how the two are connected if someone could chime in on that. I just know that the warm pool has been a part of said pain in the butt).

That December didn't still average warm? I seem to remember just that one arctic Christmad weekend then warm again...

A glimmer of hope for what? Wed/Thurs? Well I've learned to ignore supposed backend snow scenarios as they don't usually work here. But...here's a glimmer of hope for the bigger picture that was shared in the general thread Cool the pool! Cool the pool!

Recency bias fron 2022-23? Lol But that seemed extreme even by nina standards.

Why do we do this every year tho? It's fantasy range...so why ride every z? Lol

Darn...I'd wish it was more than temporary (I think we all do, lol) Been hearing warm pool everyday for 8 years, smh Is it a cyclical thing?

PAUSE...So you're telling me the relentless -PDO of the last 8-9 is indeed finally weakening?

That is why just some periods of sustained cold like we had this week are my low LOW bar. I mean the difficulty of getting even that the last 8-9 years has been insane. Just let it FEEL like winter please, at the very least! And yes the "at the end of the run" false hope analysis...I find that when the overall pattern is doing something not favorable, better not to pay said end of the run much attention unless you see the desired change move up in time. Otherwise it's just wishing upon an hour 384 model run, lol

This week was cold as advertised, though, wasn't it?

Basically someone grumpily opinionated, lol

I wish folks would just not respond to him. Just don't feed whatever toxicity he's got going on, y'all.

The ficticious NYE storm...lol
