Dang they had the Fall torch too? It just had to be a perfect match didn't it For all the chaos in weather, this seems kinda set in stone. I know the scientific folks will say ya don't know, but I mean...if it's never been different on the analogs...

I'd like us just once to have a good analog. Feels like every year now the top analogs are crappy...but then again when you're in a -PDO cycle how many good ones actually exist? Lol P.S. Folks are annoyed by my lols but it's in place of the crying laughing emoji I use often that's not available on here.

But the analogs say SER through and through...that would hardly be variability, would it? I know analogs technically don't HAVE to mean set in stone, but what indicates that more variability would be there?

But why are we doing pbp for something 9-10 days away?

What are you tracking, exactly?

I cannot help but see the overlap between this and sports fandom!

But why tho? If it doesn't work out just step away. Best thing I coulda done in 22-23. If it were to become clear that the pattern wasn't working, why go model run to model run? Don't torture yourself. Now of course, right now we're still trying to get the pulse of what this winter will be, so watching larger scale features and tendencies still has value for weenieism, lol But y'all, I'm telling ya...if the crappy sets in, block this and all model sites from your phone. Best way to deal with it. The less exposed you are to it, the better!

2000-2016 were down? Wow it certainly didn't feel down with all the memorable snows we got during that time even with all the usual lulls in between. Is this the proverbial "less snow but more of it coming at one time" kind of thing? And hang on...are we talking 40 years between then and 1960? Huh...do we have any periods prior to 1960 to compare to? I'm wondering if the 60s were just an anomaly...no decade before then ever snowed like that around here.

I'm probably way outta of pocket for saying this, and it may be a blatantly obvious answer, but...do you prefer cold weather or warm weather?

Another game that hasn't worked much the last several years...Lol Seems like we don't do that kind of timing that well.

All I know is...if they surprise and put it all together and go on a run...the doubters in our fanbase deserve ALL the smoke. Giving up on them at 8-5 at the beginning of December? Boo y'all...just boo. Believe it or not, we actually don't know what's going to happen. Playoffs can be unpredictable. And when you have a team like this one where the ingredients are there, but it's a matter of putting it all together...you really don't know. I mean 2012, yeah we have an aging Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, but be honest...did ANYBODY in early December think that team was gonna do what it did? That team was flawed too! We were: 1) the most penalized team in the league 2) The defense was mid (ranked in the 20s) 3) Finished with 14 players on IR 4) O-line was also mid And yet, the ingredients were all there, and it all came together at the right time. You never know what can spark a team. So that's why I'm just gonna watch and see...maybe it doesn't come together, but maybe it does

There could be something going on we don't know about. They obviously wanna keep whatever it is in-house...so it's kinda pointless to speculate.

Don't forget '87

As far as Tomlin is concerned, while he may get a little more out of his teams, is he better than Harbaugh in the playoffs? His teams barely make the postseason and when they have, they haven't won one game in years! Folks pining after having a coach like him, but...playoff struggles are playoff struggles. At least Harbaugh has won more than he has, lol

In regards to the penalties: Small sample size, but they have been better the last two weeks. Yesterday may have been the best day with only 3 penalties I can remember. Baby steps

This is when I wish OPs didn't go out that far, lol

Always snow around Christmas where? Here? Lol We only had like two White Christmases at BWI in recorded history. That was never really a climo staple around here.

Man how is today Harbaugh's fault? Teams go through ups and downs during a season. Defense struggled mightily early in the year, now they're figuring it out and starting to play much better. But now the offense has hit a bump they gotta work through--it's all about putting it together at the right time. For Tucker, his history earned him the right to have a long leash--now yes, this HAS to be the end of it, but Harbs wasn't wrong to give him as long as possible to figure it out. On Keaton Mitchell: A RB coming back late in the season off an ACL tear you can't expect to be full speed (to my eyes he didn't seem all the way back yet, but who knows) And...we don't know how he's feeling after the first few weeks. Decisions like that are difficult to criticize because we aren't in practice or the locker room...we legit don't know. And btw, for a thing that's definitely on Harbs that got better: Did you notice how few penalties we got? I counted 3 for maybe 15-20 yards (just eyeballing). That got much better. And overall for Harbaugh, remember: Harbaugh at the most has one more year, and he's gonna be out. And depending on how this season goes, they may make a decision sooner than that--I can't see them extending him at this point. Hey...maybe he can announce his retirement and we send him off the right way

For me, Lamar getting another MVP won't shut up his critics. Only getting the ring will.

Gotta wonder if this is an early clue of how tracking will be this year...chaos waves anyone?

Folks downplay that winter because it was one big hit. But dang it look what we've had since! I think EVERYBODY would take that right now

Gotta get it to Wednesday morn or it doesn't count, lol

Me if we get a clipper again:

I'm curious...anywhere I can see what the SSTs were for one of our major coastal storms?

Sounds like something we're just gonna have to keep in mind and not subconsciously project what we're about to see the next two weeks onto the rest of the winter.
