What we don't want is a Super Nino or  LA Nina.

all the outlooks said colder then normal and precip higher then normal for the mid atlantic and northeast. all my local news and national were calling for it. but what im asking how long till it will actually collapse enough for us to see a pattern change storm patterns etc 

It's not a super Nino or a la Nina. It's a welcome enso state. Most of are best winters come from el nino and neutral states depending on where they set up and how strong they are.  Decembers typically torch during ninos and are back loaded.

to be fair how long does it normally take to ramp down? vs how long do we see the actually pattern change? its been like 3 years or something im tired of this lol. why I didnt buy into the long range forecasts for winter last year saying cold and snow. 

I Apologize, I'm not exactly sure what your asking. I have never bought into long range forcast my self. I don't invest anything emotionally until it's about 3-4 days out . I don't remember any legitimate long range forcast of cold,  or snow last winter other than one December possibility. I believe it showed up in the mid range, and was hyped on twitter, and youtube. I think you might be referring to forum and internet clown maps, and wish casting. I'm completely with you on long range forecasts being a joke.

 thoghts on the el nino info? mind you this wasnt just on foxweather site ive seen it on a few other sites dealing with weather

FOX Weather

El Nino appears to be on verge of rapid collapse

A climate pattern that began in June will not complete a full year. A significant pending cooldown of waters in the central and eastern Pacific will ensure that the world is heading toward a neutral status.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm pretty sure this El Nino has been focast to end between April and June before it even started.

Minuteman currently looks better than most operating days in March as far as coverage...just not enough of a base. 

Lol lucky for me I don't ski .I just go for the snowballs

I didn't expect to find some real snow leftover from Monday .

Just took a drive to Roundtop and made some snowballs.

Show me how to block those 2 idiots and the problem will be solved. Until then.......they get what they deserve. 

I have never used it but it's been used on me enough in here in the past we should have some block button pros.

Spellng and gwammar not so much .lol

I don't like TB or CC in the least but the gang up mobs are no more desirable or respectable . Not that I probably haven't been guilty but I'm always try to get better at everything including being a better person.

it amazes me when long range forecasts for a season call for snow and cold almost never happens. when it calls for above average temps yep happens 

Its my understanding they have corrected the one potato through five potato algorithms on both the Euro and Gfs this year. The six and seven potato may still have some hiccups due to eeny meeny miny moe  feed back. More on this later. I must go make morning pee pee.

That was the winter that turned me into a hard core weenie.  Mby, 3 miles south of BWI, got 1 inch the whole winter from a frontal passage the first week of 2/73. I remember it vividly because of the scars. Lol Funny that what made it so bad was we had 1 winter storm watch and one ws warning that resulted in no snow, just cirrus. They had a model back then, I think it was the LFM but could be wrong, and it sucked as much as the current ones.  Because of that winter, I  thought it would never snow again, so I pulled my first all-nighter in 12/73 literally listening all night long to the only album available, Alice Cooper's I'm Eighteen. Snow started around 5:30am allowing me a couple hours of sleep.

No 2 winters are alike, so I  wouldn't worry about a repeat of that one. I'm sure there are plenty more unique ways to fail fortunately.  

That's a great story only a true weenie could tell. I been a snow and severe weather lover since I can remember, so probably 83 84ish ,but it was the Blizzard of 93 that really showed me the size of my weenie.  I stayed up all night watching the Weather Channel and listening to Dr Dre's The Chronic on my Sega cd .  I was 14 years old, so I probably snuck in some late night Univision programing  and flipped through Fredericks of Hollywood at some point over the course of that wonderful night.  

   There is no point in depressing the hypothalamus this early in a nino winter. As many have already mentioned , I'm fully aware that Nino Decembers typically torch . The fact that there appears to be no real torch in the cards this month  is something we all should feel good about going into January. 

I'm not worried like those sissies in the MA. If it doesn't turn around by Feb 7th then I might start sucking my thumb.

The 18z GEFS really took a positive step with the look for late December.

Same map is causing total anguish over at the MA . Way to 73 they say lol. 

I fell asleep waiting for the changeover this morning.  I woke up a few hours later to a coating of maybe .25" coating.  It definitely smells like winter this late afternoon. 

Back to just light rain and mist here.

A few wet flakes started mixing in here in New Cumberland at around 12:50am

I tried to highlight it this summer with the crazy 5 min recordings. 

I apologize @Bubbler86.I actually found a woman dumb enough to date me this summer . I must have missed your recordings while I was making my own.

Forgive me gentlemen but I am about to go OFF! I promise you there was measurable snowfall at MDT today. Promise. I went right by the damn place at like 6:58am and there was already a solid tenth on all non-paved surfaces and it continued to snow for many hours for god’s sake. I understand temps weren’t ideal for accumulation but they werent’t terrible either. Not to mention this occurred during prime early morning hours for minimum solar. There is NO way a proper snow board being properly checked would’t have registered at least a tenth or two, conservatively. MJS will not stand for this blasphemous record keeping! 

Glad others are finally noticing it. It's gets alot worse than today. Especially on marginal over night events.

Shit I just realized it's Friday already. I was thinking today was Thursday
