All ensemble snowfall imby are horrendous with 1-2". I know they aren't accurate, but usually because they are too high! That's the problem! Lol

Jma scores coups sometimes. I wouldn't call it a joke, but it's not a consistent top performer.

Since the scale explanation mentions "significance ", I've just figured there was nothing compelling warm or cold, so I figure near normal.

Talk to Weather53.

It does have a scale, but if you're on a phone, you need to turn it horizontal. By doing that, you'll see 3 icons on the bottom, right of the map. Touch the middle one for the scale. It's a probability scale.

No problems imho.

I'm thinking maybe the numbers they're feeding into the equation are prefaced with these: $.

When you look at the Euro site maps, you don't come away with such a cold anomaly. So yeah, I'm saying I think WB is inaccurate. https://charts.ecmwf.int/products/extended-anomaly-2t?base_time=202512250000&projection=opencharts_north_america&valid_time=202601050000

That was a Niño. This is a Niña.

Maybe, but it's tough to lose 2 weeks in the dead of winter.

Got to admit, it may not be a torch pattern, but it's not a snow pattern. Even to our north, there's nothing screaming out on the ensembles as a legit threat. This rollover pattern (NW to SE) that gave VA their substantial snows and mostly modest event for DCA/BWI, now NYC area, is lousy for area wide snowfall. Luck always plays a part in snowfall, but this pattern requires lottery winning type of luck.

I hope not for your sake as well.

And a Merry Christmas to you!

Neither did I then!

I started in late August when it was in the upper $30's with physical silver. Been buying ever since. I never got into the metals because of the transaction costs (dealer reduced prices, ebay, etc), but I have no intent on selling. It's going to children/grandchildren, so I don'tcare abouttransaction costs. But I do believe we go higher from what I see with all the sovereign hoarding, especially China. And then it's been added as a critical metal. Too much more to mention here.
