  1. DCA Christmas day temps during past strong Nino events 1972.. 48hi 42lo 1982.. 70hi 48lo 1997.. 49hi 40lo 2015.. 69hi 57lo 2023.. 61hi 40lo Seems like there's unfortunately much greater odds of our region flirting with 60F+ temps than getting close to freezing (DCA climo for the day is 47hi 33lo)
  2. You say that amwx currently is a denier board but from flipping back it looks like denialism used to be a much greater issue here. Now the worst we’ve got is one dude thinking his county deserves an entire thread and a smattering of New England posters who quickly get shut down with actual info. Progress!
  3. Yeah, the cold was definitely legitimate in the East. NYC for example had a 16 day stretch during effectively peak winter that ranked top 3 coldest, and I believe it was don who also noted that the same site had its coldest La Nina February in 90 years. Impressive metrics in a warming climate.
  4. I see. Well I appreciate you not adhering to a cookie cutter forecast and applying nuance to this upcoming winter. It's telling that the same people who are excited about the prospect of a warm winter simply because of the reaction of this board were also the ones who went warm for 24-25 and 25-26.
  5. much appreciation for continuing the art of creating fictional storms in a photo editing software rather than using AI #realweenie
  6. You’re attacking someone on the same team as you PhiEaglesfan is always on the warm and snowless train, are you new here?
  7. So, why does snowman think it's okay to say that someone has "latent homosexual tendencies" in a way that is clearly meant to be derogatory and homophobic? Is this someone we want on this weather forum?
  8. You've done this for every winter. Nino, Nina, doesn't matter, you call for record warmth. Your multiple calls for a record warm winter in the East for 2024-25 and 2025-26 (easily accessible receipts) failed miserably. Neither you nor snowman19 should be patting yourselves on the back for being on the record warm train this winter when everything points towards it. It's like predicting that Shaq will miss a free throw and then being impressed with your clairvoyance when it happens.
  9. The snowmelt season and how it impacts Canadian boreal forests is vastly different than for Europe as a whole.
  10. if the El Nino trimonthly breaches 3.0C, we actually enter the "Awesome El Nino" severity, and the EPO goes so overwhelmingly positive that it flips around and starts to pull in Antarctic air from the south. Unrelated but I've been told that in Blackjack there's a secret rule that if you hit 31 the dealer has to give you their entire tray.
  11. Many things but not everything. Rain acidification, poor air quality practices, ozone hole tackled as environmental issues in the 20th century because of domestic and international cooperation. Those prove as examples that run counter to the idea that finger pointing and short term thinking are all we can do when presented with anthropogenic environmental threats with long time horizons.
  12. Well yeah, because you won't live to see its worst consequences. Easy to be myopic about such a thing when its worst effects are yet to be seen, and that when they do come to fruition, it'll be a different generation who bears the responsibility of cleaning up the mess.
