    Don't laugh but there are numerous people out there who actually argue over those ratings...even players have complained about their rating(s) in the game...
  2. Great Snow 1717
    ...and that has led to an overanalyzing of players to the point that it has created paralysis by analysis....much like some people overanalyze the weather. Sometimes the best and most simplest answer is staring someone right in the face but they don't see it because of reams of data that they are analyzing.

    ..the baseball statgeeks essentially said the same thing...and it has created a mess...
  4. Great Snow 1717
    but not everyone will analyze the data in the same way...and too much data can "swamp" a person's ability to properly analyze the data.
  5. Great Snow 1717
    ..as we have seen in the world of baseball having too much data/tools can be a bad thing because it leads to overanalyzing..

    Well that would make for a very interesting case study if we had all of the data to compare storm tracks from the past to current storm tracks. ..and please note I am speaking of snowstorms not rain storms.

    ..lack of interest at some schools because of the lack of snow. "Fake" snow just doesn't cut it for a lot of people.
  8. Great Snow 1717
    yes I know, but there has to be a reason or reasons why they are occurring less frequently. The same goes for storms that develop in the gulf of Mexico and the 4 Corners region.

    Question for you if you do not mind. What is your take on the disappearance of storms moving into the Ohio Valley and then redeveloping along the NC/SC coast?..and from there moving northeastward. seems like the phrase" and then will transfer energy to a new low" is rarely used now days

    ....the ones I know have said they will not return to the snowplowing business because it has become near impossible to make money to cover the expenses much less turn a profit.
  11. Great Snow 1717
    In the Merrimack Valley numerous snowplowing companies have called it quits. And many auto dealerships are refusing to take trucks with a plow package as a trade in because they have become near impossible to re-sell. I've also heard that several local hs ski teams are considering pulling the plug on their programs after this season......the long lasting snow drought in the area is certainly having an impact on many businesses .....and for what it is worth I agree regarding mood flakes....

    What is a "Winter Storm Watch"????????
  13. Great Snow 1717
    That departure from normal is more than the Patriots averaged per game during the 2023 season lol...

    Here in New England it was a non winter...

    I recall that day. We were playing in an end of the season basketball tournament. Our game was in the evening. A few of the players hair was wet, by the time we got to the bus their hair had frozen...

    FYP
  17. Great Snow 1717
    otherwise known as a "One Day Winter" lol...
  18. Great Snow 1717
    I think the Super El Nino of 15/16 was a tipping point...
  19. Great Snow 1717
    sort of like mlb..it is a swing and miss winter...
  20. Great Snow 1717
    FYP
  21. Great Snow 1717
    Uhmm you said the same for this storm...
  22. Great Snow 1717
    As you know there has been very little "up" for the northern tiered states so I'd like to know when he thinks the "up" part of winter is going to begin...
  23. Great Snow 1717
    I've long thought the "norms" and "averages" should come from the entire dataset from a reporting station. Using the so called 30 year averages is senseless. A complete waste of time because much of the data is not used in coming up with a norm/average.
  24. Great Snow 1717
    I've been saying the same for several years. It's like comparing QB's from the 60's and 70's to current day QB's. It is important to understand how the "stats" during the analog years were compiled...the background matters and must be taken into consideration but it is often disregarded.
  25. Great Snow 1717
    ..and that is made worse by the lack of pattern recognition and the refusal by some people to accept the impact that climate change is having...
