Guess there's some kind of debt to pay for 2018...lol

I'd still like a meteorological explanation as to why this happened so many times this winter. Is it because it's a late blooming nina? Do storm tracks get "stuck" in one place for an entire season? (And if so what causes it?). Forgive me, but...I can't sit with repeated meteorological outcomes that have no explanation, lol

Yeah that looks about right for a nina here...screw bubble of 3" here in Baltimore but look all around...7" just south of the city, and east, and north...oof! Glad I wasn't tracking back then, lol

Even though that would still be annoying, listen...at least that's a more normal-feeling result than all this mysterious south & east mess. That kind of miss makes sense, lol

I understand the caution of the admins and mods here: not so much about folks "crumbling" i.e. being tok sensitive to talk about politics. It's about the risk of the whole dang board devolving into what Randy's Hood became. At the same time...this is a rare instance where the line between weather and politics is blurry because something political directly impacted the very weather stuff we discuss because it's, well...the NWS and NOAA! So it's gonna be hard to avoid the topic entirely. Very blurry line there, lol

And all some say to something like that is a cold "Welcome to the real world, layoffs happen sometimes--deal with it" as if that makes it okay, smh

This dude comes in here everytime wanting to pick a fight with literally everybody and I just don't get it. I'm sorry I ever engaged...I try to understand some folks but at the same time I realize that some just have deeper stuff going on that'sunrelated to whatever is being discussed. All you can do is pray for 'em and just leave it alone!

Alright man, whatever you say. I'm not engaging in whatever negativity you continue to push here. But sir...there are far better things to do, far better ways to be towards people than what you've been doing. It's not accomplishing anything, man. But hey, we all have a choice in how we're gonna be. But no matter what...Much love to you, sir. Jesus loves you--God bless!

Man did you read any of my reply to ya yesterday? His reason for leaving was completely unrelated to any of that.

Now let's take a look at what you just did: Psu leaving had ZERO to do with models. And yet somehow some way, you found a way to assume that it was. I feel like you come in here every winter just to pick a fight about the same thing...and to what end? It just sows hostility, man.

He does. It's called "Hoffman's Mid Atlantic Weather Page" He said he hadn't been active on it for years. The post he made the other day was the first one since the 2016 blizzard, lol

Oh you weren't on here a couple days ago? He left the forum (I won't rehash why here as not to stir up the topic again. If you wanna know I'll message ya). That's why he posted on fb the other day--he said he's gonna start posting his thoughts there again.

So more like a Miller Eh?

For what, exactly? To constantly model bash? Advocate to return to the days before computers? Lol (But real question tho...is that what you're advocating go back to that?)

Seeing as you've been here for years, I know you know this but I'll say it anyway...Isn't this is a long range thread. So we're gonna talk about well, long range! Repeating over and over about model inaccuracy whenever somebody mentions anything LR doesn't add much...like bro, everybody knows the inaccuracies hence the term fantasy range. It's just looking at an area of potential and ya just see if it gets closer or not. It's just LR analysis--it's all low confidence, lol

Yeah but the geography didn't change, though...and we're not talking about being "too warm" either...so what changed?

Same here, smh. I haven't even hit median since 2019 when we got to 18.3". And even the one time BWI measured over 6"...here in N. Baltimore it never got there, lol I sure would like to know what the heck is going on or if it's just horrible luck. E-W waves like Psu mentioned have just hit the same wall over and over again...it's one of those weird things where ya swear there's a reason but there may not be. I mean...the same spot losing out and nothing changed geographically? Nah man it had to be something, lol Hope the next time we have a legit nino it'll finally break the streak. Until then...we up here have a complaint without criticism card as we would've had an entire decade of bad snow luck

But yet one that was cold pretty much along the way through and the little that did fall in our yards stuck around for a month! Weird indeed...kinda funny how I technical better last year somehow (11.4" vs maybe 8-9" this year). One of these days I'll get above average!

Ah screw it I'm on to ENSO watch 2025-26, lol Time to root for El niño with a +PDO. Alright everybody say it with me: Niño, Plus PDO! Niño, Plus PDO! Niño, Plus PDO

Alright somebody tag me when he's about to. I have almost zero interest in hockey but I do like to watch sports history when it happens (unless it involves a team I don't like like the Yankees, lol)

Did he break the record?

La Nina Marches can be unpredictable sometimes. You can't really say zero chance yet.

I'm assuming you meant not feeling like the world is ending 24/7? Lol And you're absolutely right--since November this is probably the least amount of news I've consumed. It's better just to get the main points...just digest what's necessary and not go swimming in it. Gotta take care of your mental health, otherwise you'll be even less equipped to deal with whatever comes. Besides, being down and stressed 24/7 is kinda like letting the bad win out--don't give them that satisfaction

I kinda understand it too. It's become quite intertwined with what's going on in many people's lives right now. However, be that as it may...Given how politics will ultimately cannibalize any other topic or conversation, it's nearly impossible to have that AND stick to the main topic this forum was created for in the first place: weather. So no matter what's going on (and again, i definitely get it),...it would be extremely difficult for the two to coexist without dissolving into who knows what (a la the recently nuked Hood). We're all gonna miss psu here, though! Hope he comes back eventually.

Curious about why you picked that year specifically, lol
