First question that popped intp my brain (shocking I know)! Well 86-87 was pretty good I think that was a moderate niño. 69-70 was weak...still got to 21" though (of course that same setup may not get there today...but that's another convo of course). Interestingly, on the flip side, the winters following the wetter years were mediocre (I remember that being my gripe in 2018 where it rained practically every weekend, lol)

I haven't gotten it Tok yet, but YES bro--take your time with BOTW. That world is so vast it's ridiculous. With the pace at which I play video games now, I got a solid two years out of that game--and enjoyed every minute of it! I mean BOTW may be the greatest game I've ever played. And the environment was so realistic that you think for a second you're in the real world! I'm currently playing Crash 4 (don't judge me, lol)--as soon as I finish that I'm jumping into Tok--can't wait!!

I mean...there's really only one person here that's stoking this, and I really wish they'd just chill. I think that person wants it so much they're hawking the idea with heavy bias...and it's making the thread harder to read!

Ah so you're rooting for that blowtorch? Lol

Yes that's why I said "We that are old enough to remember"! Like ya said a while back...be thankful. I do think your generation (dang that feels weird saying that since I'm only early 30s, lol) will see something eventually. There's enough chaos in weather that, even if things are indeed getting more difficult, we could luck into something one of these years. Don't give up on it entirely

Yep. I think we all need to come to terms with the reality here. And also be thankful that we old enough to remember Snowmageddon and got to witness some epic storms in our lifetimes (and to never complain when we get whatever amount of snow we can still get!)

Ohh yes, I learned from a couple music professors that there were several vocal part-writing no-no"s in that movement...Literally examples of what not to do, lolol But it sounds awesome so nobody cares (oh those poor sopranos and everybody else that crosses each other)

Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!

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!)
