    Welcome! I used to "lurk" here too years ago when this was the old Eastern WX Forums (then joined)! Anyhow, you are absolutely right about the bolded part I highlight above. Meteorology and forecasting has to be about the most humbling field (though yeah, there are ironically a share of arrogant meteorologists around!). You can get one tough forecast right and feel good, then turn around and totally mess up another day!

    So you're basically asking if PSU's inches are statistically significant. (Sorry PSU, all in jest, someone was bound to go there eventually!). Oh, and I'm talking about SNOW you perverts!! But in all seriousness, I don't know how much "causation" there is, but there may be something to whether some locations get their first snow earlier vs. later and how that winter season goes area-wide. Then again, I know there are at least some winters that started "late" (back-loaded) and were pretty amazing or at least pretty darned good (2007, 2015 come to mind offhand...you could also argue the 2016 blizzard after record warmth in December). Fact is, around here it's been awhile since we had a decent December snow...I'm not talking HECS, but even a moderate event like 2002 or something like that.

    A butterfly farted somewhere in northwest Canada, releasing a lot of heat...so that system is now more AMPED with less of a chance of PSU getting ONE INCH, and it's only responding to the new BASE STATE!

    Ha! I forgot all about "base state!!" I guess that's the term from last year! Vodka pac puke?? Sounds like what you'd do the morning after too many martinis!!

    It seems most winters, there's some word or phrase that just becomes the "meme" of that year. The first inch thing might just be this year's!!! Remember in 2016, around the time of the blizzard, it was the word "amped"...and I'm sure "-PNA" has appeared many times!

    Shame, shame!

    Hey if it gets @psuhoffman his first inch (of SNOW, you dirty-minded heathens! ) by the first week or so of December, we should root for this!
  9. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Yeah, it's like a bat-signal for @ravensrule!!

    Not so sure...looks like an avocado in Europe/Scandinavia, and maybe a small one around the Aleutians!!

    OK, I know it's a bit "late" here in a November thread, but here's my carved Jack-o'-Lantern from Halloween! @WxWatcher007, I hope the Reaper had a good and festive Holiday!

    So in other words, you look forward to a normal winter of posts in here! That's the one thing guaranteed, no matter how good or bad it is!!! I await the time we can dust off the "Jaws" music...

    This would literally be @Bob Chill's dream "glaciation" scenario!!

    Strange but I don't think I've ever actually seen a Woolly Bear myself. I do remember in northeast OH, Dick Goddard (the local and very good met there for decades...may he rest in peace!) hosted the annual Woolly Bear Festival every fall! It was quite popular and still going on each year I believe. And on another note, how much for Short Pump and that place in PA??? (Someone had to say it...)

    Sunset from yesterday evening...
  18. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Damn, that's perfect! You caught all the great sunset colors, from purple to red to orange and yellow!
  19. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Though...some may object to the lack of rum!!
  20. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Now that would work! Maybe toss in some ice as well to make it just a bit away from the tropics!
  21. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Now that sounds like some tasty stuff!!!
  22. Scarlet Pimpernel
    I'm afraid if I drank a full capacity hurricane right now, I'd be a serious tropical depression by midnight and all day tomorrow as my own eye(wall) collapses, hahaha!!! I do have a couple of Pat O'Brien's hurricane glasses from years ago, still! I'd be curious what an "extra-tropical cyclone" drink would involve!!! Settling for some wine tonight...

    Stay safe, 007...and hope your chase is interesting! Send photos as you can... BTW, is that an image of the Reaper in the clouds, illuminated by the lightning?
  24. Scarlet Pimpernel
    Hope they will be safe, Mrs. J...Atlanta is a good place to be.
