Nothing's changed here. Keep on throwing out your scare tactics lol. It was always supposed to be rain next week. Oh and again, 300 plus hours out. Yeah, that's what's going to happen. Thanks for your insightful input as usual

19° now. Was 17.3° yesterday

Well... Not quite the pattern change yet.... But transitioning later next week into the new year

Maybe we should stop focusing on other seasons and what we did in 2015 or any other season and wait to see what happens in this season. No two seasons are alike. I don't care how much they seem like they're matching up, there's twists and turns that happen in the blink of an eye. All it takes George is one huge snowstorm to drop a big cover of snow, and that could be our base for building our snowpack. Even if things don't get started till early January, snow can stay on the ground in January, February and into March. Even with a higher sun angle in March, we've had snowy March's where snow stayed on the ground..... maybe it melted faster on the pavement, but we've had snow cover everywhere else. Point is, stop focusing on other years and comparing them to what's happening this year because no two years are the same ever.

Lolol ... I'm not losing it man. I'm truly confused on which direction this could go. Trust me, I have a life and a family. I don't live and die by what happens with the weather. We're just discussing is here on the forum..... Weenie ;-)

I just don't know what to believe anymore. The other guy, jBenedict.. I'll call him the pope? He's pretty sure that the whole winter is a ratter?

All it takes is one major blizzard or snow storm. I think we can squeeze that out at least.

Who came up with Rat or Ratter anyway? Do we have a name if it turns out to be amazing... Like .. Goldilocks?

Totally true. You know I've responded to a couple of them and went up erasing my post because I don't want to stoop down and give them the fuel that they're looking for. We just need to cut them out and stop talking about them all together.

I'm just not sure what to have faith in anymore. Definitely not being negative, as I'll be happy even if we get one big snow event. I just don't understand how the models have been so volatile where they go from one extreme to the other and the course of a day or two. It's hard to get consistency. I can't wait to see everyone's reactions when we finally do get something legit. This place will be like kids jumping into ice cream lol

You think it's time to cancel winter? Because the sun angles getting higher and we're now almost done with December. I guess it makes sense that winter's a wash now and it's time to shut the blinds until spring ( I figured I'd beat you to the punch before you said it ).

You know Wolfie, I actually was replying to torch tigers comment before and I decided to delete it. This is what they want. He wants to go back and forth with them because they know that their comments are bothering us. More than anything. I think it's just rude and childish, but we can't change that. The best bet is to just not reply to them at all with anything. The more we don't reply to any of their comments, the more I think they're realized that no one wants to hear. Onward and upward man

I don't think next week storm was supposed to be on the wintry side per se. Maybe at the end of it. But I think there's another system at the end of the week next week into the weekend that maybe more of a wintry scenario. I think from that point around the new year on is when we should see the changes happening. I myself am perfectly fine with keeping things on the calmer side for the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day holiday. I have to travel to my sisters with my family. It's a big deal for our family and for a lot of friends that go to her house Christmas Eve. I'm still optimistic for some winter to hit our region after the new year. Not really too concerned either way

From what Kev said... Connecticut power outages were over 100k. ?

At this point I don't care if it's a screamer, just let it be a screamer with snow or ice or something wintry.

So as much as you are a crazy SOB for wanting all this, you're mostly right on this one. I think Connecticut got away with what could have been a lot worse as far as power outages, but just to our North in Massachusetts southeast Massachusetts and upward, they're dropping like flies.

They just talked about the wind gusts in Connecticut and the highest that they found so far was a 51 down in Southeast Connecticut. Although a gust 60 mph is still.possible in eastern Connecticut Just calls em as I sees em.

You are such an oddball lol As far as the wind gusts. They're not to where you had mentioned they were going to be, but I will admit they're very gusty. Limbs and trees coming down and places. However, if the winds were where you said they were going to be, we'd have a lot more power outages than we do. . But looking out my window at all the woods, it's pretty crazy watching the trees wait back and forth

Same here... Crazy.

Right.. I saw that too.

That be a site to see. Lol

I'm frustrated to man. The optimistic side of me is really hoping that things will turn around. I'm not blind to what the models are showing, and most people on here intelligent enough to know what's going on. The difference is, we're not sticking your heads in the sand like this ugly pattern doesn't exist, we're trying to find pieces in the long range that shows a change. I think we would all agree that it would really suck if we had a second year in a row with crappy winter weather. I'm definitely not trying to attack you or anyone else who are taking the long-range models for what they are at the moment. Just know that there's a lot of us that also know that they can change and they probably will. The question is when.

I think the main issue is the approach. Your approach is just nothing's happening and nothing's going to happen. Close the shades till the end of the winter. The point that several people are trying to make is that things probably will change in the way. The forecasts are over 2 weeks out. So your comments always come across as if it's done and it looks like it's going to be that way through the winter. If you had a different approach You probably wouldn't get the comment you're getting.

Kev.... Where do you come up with this S&$t??? Lol. Yes.. it will be an impactful storm. But schools closed..... Massive winds..... It's not a hurricane. And your comment about it being a warm Core system? You're like a kid who is waiting to see Santa and his reindeer come flying through the sky Christmas eve. Let's be done with this rain and wind and bring the Snow in so we can stop the insanity. ;-)

Is the one for Tuesday/Wednesday looking more Wintry?
