  1. To make a totally unscientific guess, the predominant Nina state over the past 22 years (11 out of 22 years) is a global feedback mechanism to cool the globe in response to climate change. I wouldn't be surprised at all if there is a 4th Nina after this one, or that the next 7 out of 10 winters are Nina winters. If right, it will make winter forecasts easier in one way.
  2. Tendency for suppression during Ninas. There have been two major snowstorms in NC in December in the past 12 years: 2010 and 2018, 2010 was a Nina year.
  3. I’m not thrilled by the idea of a front loaded winter, especially if the Niña holds. I think we would see a couple of small events in December with the possibility of a massive storm for NC. Better chances for a bigger event would be in late Feb or March. We could roll lucky though. We can always roll lucky.
  4. If rain is what you want then come down here east of the fall line. You will never need to worry about rain again
  5. ENSO plays a role in the storm track. We’ve been flip flopping between cutters and suppression a lot during our La Niña winters. There have been a number of smaller or medium events some years that sometimes give us a decent winter, but a lack of epic storms directly hitting us (last was 2016) If this is another Niña winter I’d expect the same.
  6. Massive damage in my neighborhood too, lots of trees and power lines down. Haven’t seen anything like this since the derecho
  7. It definitely delivered. At least 50mph gusts (maybe more) , pea sized hail, and no power.
  8. I was literally 3 miles away and I didn't see it. :(. I just saw wall cloud and some wind.
  9. I’ll make sure to keep the trophy on my wall . On to next winter
  10. Woohoo! Never thought I'd ever have a chance of winning this thing.
  11. And just like that, I’ve gone to a rain/sleet/snow mix here in Bowie. Fast changeover.
  12. I’m so glad some of you declared winter over 5 weeks ago I’d be happy with an inch.
  13. Yesterday was bad for my yard but good for me in this contest.
  14. A decent light snow under the current darker green band. Still nothing more than a T. Temp 33
  15. 50/31 in Bowie. Feels like an underperformer, but I won’t judge until it’s done.
  16. You married well. Enjoy your future snow. Also let’s toss the 18z Euro. Cause it’s not king
  17. 40/35, I doubt any snow is falling here. Since it will be rain, we will manage to eek every drop of QPF we can get though. Seems like it could be a surprise snow storm for some to the N/W (which they are due)
  18. Ya man winter is being put in the coffin now I know someone who can offer you a deal on a coffin @WxWatcher007 Seriously though, it's Feb 6th. I've seen 6 inches of snow as late as like March 20th. At least 42 days of winter remain.
