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

Pretty incredible storm on the west coast! The thing's got a dang eye and everything, lol

Man I was talking about the odds of having less than 0.2 inches of snow (thereby being numerically "worse") as being more unlikely. Not talking about our struggles overall!

I'd argue that it's stastically very unlikely...Takes a lot to go less than an inch 2 years in a row. A cartopper even would be more than 0, lol

Yeah it's possible but not probable! Like what are odds that happens the season after being at 0.2? Lol

You're statistically unlikely to see worse than 0.2" inches, lol

Ohhhh the sweating! See, due to a physical factor I can't nail down yet, I sweat rather easily in neutral conditions...So when that humidity hits I'm basically a walking sprinkler, lol

Yeah especially around here where we do humid well. Not sure why people root for warmth so much...I think for some it's a coping mechanism to sarcastically root for it to numb the snowless pain, lol

Yeah I was getting ready to say...Because if enso were just water temps being a certain temperature just because it would be El niño all the time with all the warm water

Didn't think MD was a team folks disliked...but that ain't the case, lol

Were they a Terps rival at one time?

What about George Mason? (forgive me I don't follow college balk a ton)

What you got against MD? Lol

This was truly a work of art, hahahaha A forum masterpiece indeed! Oscar for best screenplay...@stormtracker

Sorry for all the questions but I'm just trying to connect the dots here: So one theory/idea is that warmer mid lat SSTs...produces more nina conditions? Do warmer SSTs produce more...trade winds? I think that's the part I'm not getting...What do warmer SSTs have to do with the trade winds that drive ENSO? Thoughts @Terpeast (or anyone else who may know, lol)

That being said...I can't see MD beating Alabama tonight. They barely hung on the other day, and I'm not sure they have the guts yet to win at a higher level. But we shall see...

This much I know--But what I was asking about is what it was about 98' and 16' super niños that was different from 83', 73', 66 in terms of changing the climo (is there like...too much warm air left over or?) What I don't understand is why a changing climate spawns more ninas...Now I was kinda dummy smacked last time I asked about why warm waters don't mean more niños, but--even after reading a little about trade winds, I still don't understand why/how a changing global climate produces more Ninas. Does something caused by...something else related to climate change cause the winds not to blow a certain way? Someone break it down for a layman...because if the bare bones in enso is trade winds, I don't get what the correlation is to having more of one enso state over another.

Dang...This year ya almost don't wanna be a 1 seed, lol
