I thought 2003 was more of the heavy and wet variety? (I had assumed heavy and wet meant 28-32 degrees)

Teens throughout the event. Some high single digits and low teens for a while north of the city.

Our snowiest history has always been..."just cold enough". Very seldom is it 20 degree cold powder (I think the 2016 blizzard came close though, didn't it?) 28-32 degrees...But now we gotta see if "just cold enough" still exists! That's why I'm rooting for this Nino so we know where we're at. I do hope it still works...but we'll see.

79, 83, 96, 2003, 2016 very cold storms. Only 2010 had marginal cold.

Took over 40mins but I snagged 2 for an ALDS game and 2 for an ALCS game. 

That's great! It's going to be electric.

Unless there's more to the story, what an embarrassment the Os ownership is. 

John Angelos is really pathetic. 

I know this is not earth shattering news with how little and sad the Angelos' are but wow. Awful.

Unreal!! There's no way the son can be that big of a creep but it's not surprising. The new lease situation is very unnerving.

Weird but still getting CG strikes up here every couple mins well behind the storm. Impressive and certainly unusual. 

I think one of them split my neighbors tree. Felt like it came right into my house. I thought the worst was over and I was near a window looking outside. Scared the hell out of me.

Here too. Horrible lightning during storm.

I was stuck on 30 near Cape Horn as it passed. It was bad. Trees came down around me.  I pulled into the little lot by the pond next to the middle school. It lifted up the Portable restroom that’s there and threw it. A tree came down next to my car. Luckily nothing hit my car.  Town is a mess right now. Just got the kids. Couldn’t tell if it was straight line or tornado. Happened too fast and was raining too hard. But I heard police confirmed a tornado on the ground near the PA line after it passed us. 
ETA: sky had that eerie green look right before all hell broke lose 

My house is good but neighbor lost their shed and trampoline. I think the worst was just north of us. Glad you made it home ok.

That was intense. Worst storm I've experienced since moving here 15 years ago. Went to the basement for this one.

Kinda of odd to say, but the best team in the AL right now is the Orioles with 70 wins

Get used to it. Lol. They are set up for long extended multi year run. They're only going to get better.

Dang that is a loooong cycle. Like literally a quarter of a life-time. If we gotta wait for another 20 years for that to change in order to get snow, that's long enough to either lose hair or turn grey, lol Anywhere in the country that actually does WELL in a -PDO?

You might as well except the fact they you've witnessed your last 6 inch plus snowfall. It's entirely over! I'll be lucky to average 10 inches a year here in Manchester. Probably should shut down the board during winter going forward.

WOOOHOOO UMD

Really solid win! Great comeback. Horrible start, then take a 7 point lead, and then go down by 8 and then play great down the stretch.

Snowing a bit!

Nothing is etched in stone. My observations are specific to this run/recent runs. In general though, everyone has seen this movie play out over and over this winter and it always ends the same. Thus the pessimism. Pattern is somewhat more favorable, and given all the chaos, there is no reason to think the timing and degree of interaction between the key waves is nailed down by guidance 7 days out. Plenty of time.

Exactly! I commend your posting style. You're always reasonable and logical. Unfortunately the crying and sulking by the usual suspects have at times made the thread unbearable. I just sounded a little like Howard lol.

I would argue that with a more favorable pattern establishing itself things can easily change back to a very good look even as late as early next week. Despite the seasonal trend this is definitely a much different pattern taking over so expecting the same outcome may be the easy of waythinking but will probably end up wrong as we should have multiple legitimate threats through the end of the month with the usual caveats being applied especially for the cities and low lands.

Living and dying by each individual operational run has seemed to reach and all time low by some of our more seasoned posters. Paranoia at its finest. 

Heavy snow.

Moderate snow.

Sloppy mix.

Ok, Sw flipped back to a vertical egg and is pushing east again, but can't seem to gain latitude.  Or temps suck at the. moment.

It's time for you to hand over the reigns to Heisy to take over for PBP. 

Flurries.

Latest MJO.  Still phase 8 bound….

Even if we end up not getting any meaningful snow it's really looking like we're in for a prolonged period of miserable early spring weather. Ensembles are all in solid agreement that indices are taking the first week in March. Could be very cold right into mid April.

i mean that's basically how this winter has played out.  DC's winter has looked like a typical Charlotte, NC winter.

Scranton's winter has looked a typical Charlotte winter lol.

My mom was at the game last night, said the place was loud from start to finish. Reminded her of the days at Cole when we'd play Duke or UNC. 

I was at the game last Saturday against Penn St. and was surprised at the energy in the building for a noon start. It was definitely loud and I told my friend you can definitely feel a difference in the fan base. I thought the early start last night might cause a late arriving crowd but that wasn't the case. Glad to see the place rocking! Definitely reminds me of the environment in luring those Duke/UNC games.
