A real storm threat means the LR thread goes into hibernation.

So I think it may be time to compile a list of acceptable euphemisms for AGW for use in the main threads. The two I have so far are "THAT" "The elephant"

Sleeping Beauty is one of my favorite songs.

2011-12 was notably warm wall-to-wall.

For the less educated among us, what, if anything does thus imply for us?

My SE brethren in ecstasy right now. It's going to hurt all the more when it turns into a cold rain for us.

Growing up in the SE, I never realized the MA had to work so hard to get its snow.

No political discussions.

Let's say there is a hypothetical poster who lives in NC but who hangs out here because of the superior analysis. If this Southern slider should verify as sown by the GFS, would that poster be in danger of being run out of the forum? Asking for a friend.

Don't worry, soon it will be routine and not so disturbing.

How many final blows can the PV take in one season?

My poor SE forum brethren were beginning to latch onto this one. Given the general lack of cold in the pattern I knew this one will be headed north.

Can you clarify what "deep" means in this context? Do you mean that the air mass isn't that cold? Or that the cold is only shallow to the surface? Both? Neither?

If you're interested, I take notice.

Can you tell the GFS to shut up?

Wheres the NW trend when you need it?

I wouldn't worry to much about it. Last year, amidst the simultaneous raging ++++AO with Pacific Doom Blob, the GFS somehow managed to spit out snowstorm for Jacksonville, Florida. It was gone the next run, and needless to say, it didn't happen.

I know who I have my money on.

December was just plain average here in most of NC. But that's actually a huge win compared to the last five years and also how things were looking in many of the seasonal forecasts in the fall.

I don;t have access to any EPO forecasts. So what's the current state? In PSU's recent progression e-mails he has mentioned an upcoming -EPO event which will unfortunately dump into the west. Is that not happening now? And as much as these guys annoy me, they have been correct the last several years about several advertised -EPO periods that never materialized (but man they seem to make a special effort to do so as pompously and arrogantly as possible). ETA: I see my question was answered before I even asked it.

Is "WB's JB" = Joe Bastardi?

If the models runs improve, you will be expected to stump your toes every day through the end of Februray.

As a Dolphins fan, I will always have a bit of soft spot in my heart for Doug. He was QB at the end of the game in 1993 that Don Shula got the record for most wins as a coach. (the year that Marino was hurt.)
