I just posed this in the storm thread, but maybe one of you guys knows the answer to this. (And I’m due west of the city): One of the few non-anecdotal stats I I know from reading the boards for 20+ years is that it's tough to get 10+" of snow in NYC and points south with a +AO and +NAO. There are obvious exceptions (March 1993) of course, but… Why would this be different? TIA. Solely wondering out of curiosity. .

I look forward to winter ending and then offloading this app until November .

I love seeing the back and forth and prognostications, but this one seems even more and extra crazy than usual. [emoji2371] .

I could read this entire storm thread with Sarah McLachlan’s Angel playing in the background. .

Been interesting to have it nice and cold and dry. (I get it, wanting the snow… that’s why we’re here) Good for the plants and natural pest control. Also, I’m sure we would all take average temperatures and more snow from now on. .

Bingo. I support the players in this one, buuuuuuut they screwed themselves over in the last agreement. They went for creature comforts last time rather than money - which is fine, but you can’t have it both ways. They bargained for more off days, empty seats on the bus, personal chefs… all of those are nice and worth something, but it’s not pure revenue in your pocket. That’s all well and good, but there’s give and take. .

[emoji817] Pox on both their houses. They never stop screwing over the fans. .

Some years it finds a way because it seems to want to, and other years (like this one), it finds a way not to. Que sera sera. .

Of course, I would love to see a big snowstorm here, but I’m content with knowing I’ve seen a bunch already in my lifetime. (Heck, last February was the snowiest month I’ve ever seen in my own backyard, 40”+) It’s good to remind ourselves we can’t control it, and at least we may not have to deal with aftereffects (flooding, mud, the like). .

Every. Damn. Year. And it’s not that I want to be right or hope someone else is wrong (we’re here because we love storms!), but it’s the same thing. And I say this: I want to be proven wrong. I want an enjoyable storm. I also try to live in reality. .

You’re in my neck of the woods, right? MMU? I wonder how often we’re in accumulating snows. We shall see. .

yea, right here in this forum… first time’s free .

The experts generally don’t like to use simple, straightforward language when communicating ideas. You see it in meteorology as well as Covid; my opinion is that they seem to want to sound as smart as possible to their peers, rather than their audience, who then get lost and tune them out, leading said experts to be annoyed when they’re not listened to. Just my $0.02. I see it in sales and marketing, too. Don’t bore us, get to the chorus. .

They’re in a tough spot. They can’t go HAM at this stage but then complain when people chase shiny Twitter forecasts. Do you ever read their presentations? They’re god awful. I do internationally-based marketing and business development and I wish I could help the NWS. They’re making 1995 presentations in the 2020s. .

You better listen to Lonnie. .
