Who is Tom?

I've experienced an 80 F Christmas. That aspect was not fun.

So while 11 out of 21 members have average or below average vortex strength at the 12/23, but the 10 positive outweigh the -/neutral members? Is that a valid conclusion? Oh, and I thought the EPS had 50 members plus control?

Ah that's the Ji we know and love.

If anyone is interested in the two cents of a random out-of-forum visitor, I would say that this is the best regional forum on the board, at least that I have visited. My home SE forum means well, but we don't have the same model chops as you guys. NYC and Philly are ok, I guess, haven't spent much time there. NE is...troubled. Out west is barely populated. Specifically for PSU, even your "unproductive" melt-down posts are useful for the uneducated, like me. There are so many negative nancies, who only dwell on the bad, combined with superweenies, who only hug the good, combined with bipolars who shift back and forth violently between ecstasy and despair. When a respected, level-headed, intellectually honest personage such as PSU or Bob melts down it s a valuable signal that the prognosis is truly bad.

Take a look at the AO. It shows the same thing. Went +on precisely 12/1.

I have loved them since I was a little kid. I loved (and still am very interested in) whales and they were the closest thing to a whale. It has been a tough 15 years though. Maybe one day they will find their Brady/Belichek , without the evil.

I'm a Dolphins fan and I decree that if you loose to my Dolphins this year, you should be automatically disqualified from the playoffs.

Wunderground had a lot of cool stuff that they don't have any more. It has become almost unusable. I am really mystified at the reasoning behind turning it for a great weather enthusiast site to its current state.

What, they are so spectacular that should that pattern ever materialize, we will all become so spoiled that nothing less than a BECS will satisfy?

Well, I live in the NC Coastal Plain. Two inches shuts us down.

You know, if you grew up there, you probably wouldn't even care. From the NWS national summary page. Further east, Winter Storm Watches have been issued for much of the Sierra Nevada where snow amounts will range from 1-3 feet through the weekend.

I am having trouble finding information differentiating AAM vs GLAAM. I know have seen GLAAM described as "Global Atmospheric Angular Momentum" and AAM as "Atmospheric Angular Momentum". So what is the difference?

I attended an acoustic performance of "Mosquitoes at Christmas" back in 2015.

FRD had a depressing post about the AO in the main thread. Maybe this is what many of the seasonals were picking up on with their warm December predictions? So far the eastern CONUS has been dodging the worst of the consequences. Never good to live on the edge of the cliff though. Edit: Actually, sometimes it can be good to be on the cold side of the rain-to-snow transition line. Always nerve-racking though.

I've been at way too many of their concerts lately.

Well they giveth plenty at 7 - 10, but then they take most if it away.

We of the SE forum just lost the wind in our sails. Maybe it will be back.

The models giveth and they taketh away.

Man I remember that well. I was in college at UNCG. A magical event. I remember that winter overall was quite nice.

Last years early December NC special was picked up way in advance as well, especially by the FV3. Completely conned us about its reliability for the rest of the winter in terms of snowfall.

So what happened to make AFewUniversesBelow turn into just UniverseBelow? Did he loose some Universes?

I think if it rained on me with an air temp of 14 F, my head would explode.

I don't think I have ever been to 33andrain, but I heard about the "nuclear" outbreak over there a few days ago. What did he start doing? Slapping people with a dead fish?

I should have known. The Dolphins can't even tank competently.
