  1. Yeah not sure that's a large enough sample size. 16-17 and 17-18 were both ninas, 18-19 at least brought most in the area to climo with the Dec and Jan storms, and of course 19-20 was a torchfest. That just seems like a random mixed bag, we've certainly had multiple instances of that within even the 21st century, a good bit in the 80s/90s too. Considering how much of a distinct lack of sustained blocking we've had since 10-11 I'd say that maybe that was when the flip was switched, but what do I know I guess.
  2. Yeah that makes sense. Seems like we're getting guaranteed storms or at least guaranteed potentials for hits every single time we get blocking nowadays, but of course the tradeoff is that we're in a period where periods of blocking are far and few between. Wonder if that's just a general climo shift of some sort.
  3. Aside from abundant blocking, was there any reason that it seems like that's been the only Nina in recent memory that produced those sorts of results? Seems like that winter also had some some characteristics that were unlike a Nina too so I guess that could be why just about any blocking we've had in recent Ninas has fallen short.
  4. Haven't we not had a colder than average October in around a decade, with the last one being October 2009? Not trying to throw out outliers like that, but it's hard to assume something like that when the sample size in recent memory is rather limited. But yes I agree with the sentiment surrounding what the colors will look like come December.
  5. BWI: 11/19 IAD: 11/2 DCA: 11/19 RIC: 11/19 Tiebreaker: 10.23" Indian Summer
  6. I'd like to make a reservation for next season
  7. I don't remember who it was (maybe @Tenman Johnson?), but when the winter was looking to be a clunker in Jan/Feb, someone talked about how a couple winters that had wet summers were analogs and were all pretty crappy winters. I wonder what a wet or dry spring means for a winter. Probably not much
  8. Not feeling the rain for this week. Low energies + low radiation.
  9. It really is. My assumption is there are some people that have some good memories saved to their PC's (a storm thread, a PBP of an epic Euro run, or something like that).
  10. Found this gem. Showcases the Rain-heavy snow changeover of one of my favorite storms (Jan 26th 2011)
  11. I'm away on spring break (skiing in Utah) during that time, so you can lock in a massive snowstorm for April standards
  12. That's crazy! How much have you gotten this season vs average?
  13. I think this room is the secret.
  14. Paging @dailylurker gotta get this place filled up again
  15. Looking through, it appears as if only a couple pages are archived. Archived times I see are Feb 1st (most Jan 30th storm threads aren't accessible), Feb 4th 2010 (most storm threads aren't accessible either), and Feb 13th, 2010 (only goes to page 3, so no Blizzards of 2010). I will keep on looking though & hopefully I can get some good finds
  16. Sorry if I'm intervening, but that was late Jan 2010-Early Feb 2010. Many areas got 40-60" of snow in a 2 week span during that time
