Something you'll never hear from the POTUS

Think at some point we will get that few week window between now and Mid April that will boost snow totals from noteworthy futility to just brutal.lol

Would have to ask stats guys but would think if we get shut out for the rest of December ie< 1" along with no October, November bail out. Pretty good statistical chance we end up BN for seasonal snowfall

Very little phasing. Things blow up east on the coast due to the ocean. Right now trough set up to the east allows alot of weak clippers to blow up once off the coast of NE

Yep then lied that the prisoner escaped through the window when all he did was open the back door. No leg shackles just hand cuffs. Just ran off. Have to admit before the era of surveillance cameras, body cameras, and cellphone videos just how much lying, corruption, and covering up were police departments engaged in. Scary to speculate

If they continue to have reactions from people who had no prior history of anaphylaxis that will force them to give vaccine in hospital settings only. If they can't figure out why or perhaps its an issue with this mRNA class vaccine then may see issues with Moderna's version also. Not to negatively speculate but already a delay in shipments, possible limitations to setting it can be administered could equal long delays. Really have to wonder if this gets substantially delayed into fall or early next winter to vaccinate a decent percentage of the population will alot of the population already have been exposed anyways. With infection rates the way they are now it seems so many people will have been exposed it might be better to filter people through an antigen test and prioritize vaccination of those who still haven't been exposed. Would still expect frontline workers, nursing homes, people over 65 etc.. to get it first. But once into general population maybe a different strategy?

A clipper miss to the north and the rinse repeat El Nino track providing winter from Detroit and Central Ohio and pts east through the end of the month. Outside of the 2 day rainer giving us all our December precip its been warm and dry since late October.

Well about every 10 years or so something should phase

Over/under on when ORD hits 15" on the season. Will guess Feb.15th

I think its a misconception that most mutations are more virulent. Thought the coronavirus group were relatively stable anyways and if anything over time mutations would favor less virulent strains. Selection would be to enhance and propagate the virus as much as possible not to kill the host quicker.

Xmas flurries are the best

Throwing darts

Good snowfall winters for this area. Won't argue that. I would say his standards for winter may be explained by the fact that he likes to snowmobile around here and unfortunately that requires cold and snowpack conditions that aren't too prevalent. Even those good snow winters had very transient snowmobile conditions here. Just my opinion but don't know why anyone would own snowmobiles in Chicago unless you run to the UP of Michigan alot. Same as owning a swimming pool in Northern Michigan.

Not meant to be hurtful. I hope Beavis continues to post on this board. Just thought it was unfortunate to have snowmobiling as a hobby in this area since it affords so few opportunities

Snowmobiling as a hobby around here is incongruent

Nope..nada..let the futility roll

Yep at least for our area. Maybe lower OV and far eastern parts of subforum could receive some action. Mid Atlantic and NE could be winners in this interesting pseudo El Nino pattern in a moderate La Nina

Mood flakes. Hoping Harvard doesn't receive 2-4" as NWS forecasts. Never want to see accum. snow in McHenry County if I receive none here

There were many instances of systems that winter favoring far NW areas and into S.Wi

Yeah OV and eastern lakes. Not sure about Chicago and Iowa.

I just remember over 85" in my area with parts of SE WI over 100" that year. Definitely acceptable in my book

Is a -NAO really that great for our sub forum?

Don't forget 2007-08.

Great way to run a La Nina

Pure hyperbole.lol But I don't think we have only 2 weeks of cold air per winter. I do think most "normal" winters only have a window of 3-5 weeks where the pattern is active and cold air is available. Although the cold rain outside might be biasing my thoughts.
