You are a crazy man lol

I thought the gfs was really close to something too.

Wow at the GFS lol. That end of week system wouldn’t take a lot of tweaking to at least be interesting. And the next week storm ... chilly.

Good job NATS. Almost seemed like one of those teams of destiny type things.

I think December can be a hard month to judge by avg temp. You can have a month that is predominantly cold or seasonal and have the avg temp skewed by a few days of anomalous warmth. December can crank out some pretty big temp departures in the positive direction. So saying an above normal December doesn’t necessarily mean it couldn’t also be a mainly wintry month

Can we lock this in Feb 29?

When talk breaks out in October about the PV, it could signal a long season

The biggest difference I see is basically the ridge position over Alaska. Across the continental US the flow is very similar. Both look like an opportunity of some southern stream energy to flow along the southern border into an east coast trough. Not a bad setup imo. I think people also tend to be swayed by the colors on those maps. If I can read a map scale properly, that height anomaly over the se amounts to about 50 feet above normal for that pressure level. Doubt that that is significant. The flow looks good on both. Now what it might evolve into is another story and one I wouldn’t even venture a guess about.

Well, my neighbor and I did

Well, we did have a pretty good snowstorm last year on Nov 15. Not impossible.

KOKV with several obs of 32

Not to mention that the high/low avg method of calculating a daily mean temp is wacked in the first place. Especially so now that we have all this technology available and could easily calculate a one min avg with 1440 data points every day.

37 lowest reported from KOKV

Maybe, and this is just a thought here, but would it have strained the Vikings coaching staff to just have Rudolph line up on the same side as Mack? On every play? I mean seriously, pro football players should be able to handle subtle adjustments like where the tight end is going to line up. When the coaches evaluated their OL talent, did they seriously think they could single block that guy and get by with it. It’s like thinking you’re gonna single block Lawrence Taylor. If I was Cousins I’d be shell shocked too. He never knows when he’s gonna get blasted from behind.

This is about as stable of a weather pattern as I’ve seen.

Funny how people who you never hear mention weather will find a way to tell you how devastatingly cold and snowy the upcoming winter will be. They have to hear that somewhere. Ill admit though, I hope they’re right.

Lol, people posting pictures at night. Yes, snow can and will stick to roads in March, but to act like there’s no difference due to sun angle is just plain silly. Anything remotely dark is sitting there absorbing radiation during the daylight hours at amuch higher rate than in Dec/Jan. Because of that you have to have good rates and/or cold temps to get/keep roads snow covered. You get light snow and 30 degrees in Jan and you will get/keep snow cover on hard surfaces, easy, even during daylight hours. March, not likely. So anybody saying that sun angle doesn’t matter isn’t being truthful. We all know it matters. It’s not prohibitive, but it matters.

It would be a huge difference. Sun angle at my house on Jan 10 is about 29 degrees. On March 10 it’s about 46 degrees. That’s a lot and I suspect it’s not a linear relationship.

Getting good in here

Anything less than 24” and I’m out. lol, tired of 4-6”
