If you mean Beethoven's 9th...man I WISH I were a part of it, haha (hey maybe I'll conduct it one day) I am a pianist, so no where to play that in the mighty 9th Did not know they were having it there--hope you enjoy it!

Buuuuuuuuuu (no literally that's your profile pic )

So with the 18-19' event that failed to couple...was that because of the -PDO as well?

Yeah the Christmas summer t-storm, turning on the A/C, and mushrooms growing in our front yard both royally SUCKED and was slightly fascinating! (one weird quirk about the super niños on record that produced: All three had very warm Christmas Days! I remember that year I was hoping it would repeat itself and that time it didn't lol) The Jan storm was a nice payoff for the warmth for me.

I'm with ya on 2015-16. Ya know, given what we've dealt with since, you'd think that winter would grow in popularity. I mean uh...that was the most recent blizzard we've had, folks! I for one am even more thankful for that one now, lol Now I don't remember the chances after that blizzard, but in comparison with what we've had? A one blizzard and done would be gold! I do however understand wanting to have cold and snow throughout the winter (or at the very least throughout our prime window). But we can't afford to be picky anymore.

I'm happy for y'all...brighter days ahead for DC, hopefully!

Nah it'll be more like this: a Requiem for our snow chances the at least next 3-4 years, lol

Unless the Ravens and Lamar know something we don't. I can't see the Ravens doing this if they didn't think Lamar was gonna stay!

Definitely did NOT see this coming, lol (on Easter Sunday, no less) I mean I just assumed he'd join the list of players we almost signed! Definitely un-Ravens-like. Ya gotta wonder if part of this is to get some movement in stalled negotiations with Lamar... And hey, I'm sure EDC wants to get the fan base off his back about not giving Lamar weapons, lol

Kinda feel like all the great receivers have some measure of attitude...It feels like it's a bit of a prerequisite, lol

Alright so what say the rest of you? Was expecting T-storms during the game a reasonable forecast, and should they have taken a chance? (What were the probabilities as of yesterday?)

I think if it wasn't Opening day they may have taken a chance. But it's the first home and ya had Friday open...so why take the chance?

With the El Niño seemingly brewing up fast (whatever form it's gonna take), can't imagine the forecasts for the tropics are too high, lol

Man we get a super we could be looking at back-to-back winters of not even 5 inches. And then two more la ninas come after just as the last 4 times...mercy.

Yeah but a strong one is no bueno unless you were able to do well in 97-98. Every other super niño has sucked. 66 good, 73 bad, 83 good, 98 bad, 16 good....

Yep--and that's exactly what happened in the 70s (the other least snowy decade for our subforum before this one, lol) Back-to-back ninas, the a super niño, followed by two back-to-back ninas...mercy. I mean that would royally suck after what we've been dealing with. Moderate niño please!

Shoulda just gone with persistence from the last 3 months, lol (got the getting cooler on the weekends too!)

Didn't mean it like that. But the activity will decrease here though if we don't get a good winter soon, lol

Tbh I feel myself losing interest...I'll bet this board goes the way of the SE forum if we continue to have winters like the last 7 years. I don't know about anybody else, but I came here and was drawn to the science of it for the snow. Without that, or with it becoming increasingly difficult and even less of a ROI than it was in what used to be a "bad" year before this drought.

Man I ain't mean it like that...I guess I should said needing to wait to have a better, +PDO chance of snow. But I mean if the -PDO hurts us in general, then yeah maybe we do struggle more who knows?

I mean...we've never had quadruple-dip la nina have we? And 2017 we were coming out of a neutral-ish enso and had just had a super niño a year prior.

Dang that is a loooong cycle. Like literally a quarter of a life-time. If we gotta wait for another 20 years for that to change in order to have an easier time getting snow, that's long enough to either lose hair or turn grey, lol Anywhere in the country that actually does WELL in a -PDO?

West-based nino I'm all in

What's pushing them north then? Warmer climo or something else?

Except we didn't get a single threat to make it to 60 hrs all winter, lol
