clouds that limit traditional cooling often live at lower levels...say 5,000-15,000 ft. smoke from cali has to get to upper atmosphere plumes (noted at 55,000ft.) to make it here, and after 3,000 mile journey, are dispersed as they travel east.

48 here. No complaints.

we can thank california for our global cooling.........:). at least they are good for something. hehe

I've snowmobiled up there when there on the back end of a LE outbreak when they got 10'....thats not a typo. Stayed in Barnes Corners/Montague. It was surreal...like nothing I've ever seen. 5"/hr rates are just something to witness if your a true snow hound. Snowed that hard we couldnt safely snowmobile as we couldn't see where the trails were.....and we literally couldn't see in mid afternoon. I hope everyone who loves snow gets to witness it.

i can probably get that much out of my t shirt after being outside for an hour.

seeing flakes flying over a white landscape to refresh whatever is there is just pinch me kinda stuff. I love it. Deep snowpack is great, but not likely round here. I/we can get clipped/jipped frequently and am totally cool w/ those NW flow patterns as when right, we are talking about events every few days....and as we know we can get lucky once in a while and have a decent event thrown in. Just talking bout it makes me giddy.

Yeah just checked the radar and it looks like you can add a few to that. Hope this isnt virtual rain (like much of late). We all need the real deal. good luck and TGIFF. Nutter

looky what i just saw for the first time this 2020-2021 winter season. first panel I've seen that shows blue in the conus since last season. Makes it down to central rockies.

I would actually sign for this in a heartbeat. Normal never sounded so appealing did it??

and with some luck, we will get leftovers late sat/sunday.

We saw clouds off in the distance. That was it. Nothing close to Lanc.

Radar looks like its blossoming nicely to the NW. Looks like we all have a chance to get into the goods. I saw a report right near my house of 2.12" yesterday. i didnt think we got that much, but we definately had to rounds of heavy rain. #luckylanco

@Voyager Ive had it done 3 times. 2 left - 1 right. labral tears and tendon tethering...5/8" ground off R clavicle for more "space" ...the normal shoulder stuff. Busted my ass in PT and well after ( its been 15 years since last one - still do pushups 2-4 times a week (incline). Take the disco cookies (percaset for me) to sleep and after PT....Trust me, but limit them as soon as possible to advil. Its a LONG haul back, but you can do it. 6wks in immobilizer sling each time. Is what it is.... Canderson is correct....do the PT. It WILL HURT LIKE HELL. Work through it. If you dont...less strength and range of motion comes back. BTW, left shoulder is getting weak again, but I still do most everything I enjoy in life...including my pushups. Good luck Steve.

someone sounds a bit snakebit..... We'd all love for you to drum up a good map for us (although good as useful, and looking good are two very different things). If we can get enso into mild la nina, how do you feel about it in our hoods?

lol regardless....I think we all approve of that map.

I was thinking EAST #battlegroundstate

WOW....thats scorched earth/grass....

also gets us into September at end of run..... Just looking for +++'s in the friggin mess of a year.

actually I think that their is some validity to what you are implying. Yes...it sucks.

To that very point, we also thought last year had a chance at decent and well all know how that worked out. Frustrating or not, that IS part of why many of us are here...the thrill of the chase...for snow. While I may not posses all of the knowledge that some do, I've been at this plenty long enough to know that we are nothing is a lock, and stranger things can happen. I'll can see when a window opens or when something might pop and just know that odds still typically are against us in the MA/NMA regions. For now, I'll take a mild Nina for now and see how the cards are dealt in the coming months. Regardless of the outcome, I still love looking ahead and giving my best guess as well as seeing what everyone is thinking. I'm a realist, so if you set reasonable expectations, it's all good.

GFS and NAM often tend to “bounce” around but can sometimes lock in early ie blizzard of 16 for NAM. I too think the NAM gets a bad wrap as we’ve all seen struggles wrt various models and their shortcomings. that said I often see a look from GFS at 5-7 days out that often ends up close to outcome, and often look hard at that lead time during winter. Just my years of watching and learning what works and what doesn’t. Euro is most consistent, but can be late to the game or out to lunch. This is the fun and challenging that I love about this sport. Happy Sunday everyone.

Thats not funny....... ok...... it sorta is.

wow. thats a shame. Good dude.

Yeah i've been watching the total qpf's and seeing the same. Morning GFS op is bone dry for CTP.

and thats what I was hangin my hat on. Enough models were showing showery, so i bought in. Looking at ensembles from early week, there also was a general consensus of active times in said period. In a word......P O O F
