Is it me or does Nick Sirianni look like the kid from Elf in that ski cap?

You ain’t kidding. Just came back from Target and landscapers were out there putting mulch down. Never seen that before in Jan either.

Jet extension floods us with PAC puke. Jet retraction pops the SER. So what are we rooting for??? It snows here, I know it does, I’ve seen it.

Made a trip to the gas station this evening. There was a guy there filling up a 2-gallon can. I was tempted to ask if it was for the snowblower or lawn mower.

I meant getting a clue that it’s another rainer. I guess the good news is it isn’t a cutter…baby steps!

Maybe it means he's getting ready to put the plow attachment on it.

Yep, 12z NAM finally getting a clue about Sunday.

Same here.

So where are we? March will rock? It can still snow in April? A SSW event will save us? Asking for a friend.

Even the “least snowy solution” would suggest snow. Stick with the “no snowy solution”.

Looks like Redsky’s punt landed inside the two and winter may have just been flagged for another false start. Drizzle, 38F

And I bet half the posters over there are complaining it’s too cold to snow and the other half are already worrying about the late Jan sun angle.

No snow on the ground yet and we do failure well. Too early to second guess the punt.

At least 1989-90 was bone-rattling cold from Thanksgiving to New Years. And we did have the Thanksgiving Eve snowstorm that year. Despite it being a super nino, this year reminds me of 1997-98 so far. All we had that year was 2-3 day arctic outbreak around New Years and that was it (at least here imby). So far all we’ve had this year was a 3-4 day arctic shot at Christmas.

Someone once said, "The Pacific sends us our weather, the Atlantic tells it what to do once it gets here". My concern is even if we do sort out the Pac, we still have to deal with the +AMO. It's nothing new, but the warm pool to our north east around the Gulf of Maine is throwing an extra wrench into things. It would be helpful if we had some coastals or nor'easters to take some heat out of the Atlantic. But I guess this is all part of the feedback loop -- warm Atlantic = ridge, which = storms cutting to our north west, which = no coastals to churn up the waters, which = ridge...and on it goes. No, I'm not part of the "it's-never-going-to-snow-again" crowd. But I do think it will take time (years?) to sort it out. I mean, even if we do get a Nino next year, they tend to suppress tropical activity in the Atlantic which leads to, you guessed it, a warm ocean for 2023-24.

Ch10 guy is talking about how much sunlight we’re gaining each day. Winter’s over baby!!

First day of the month we ended up with below average temperatures. Winter’s back baby!!

Snow hole right over my house—100% guaranteed that map verifies. 28F

No worries, Mike. My gf gave me a couple of winter coats for Christmas. I’m holding her responsible. I keep squinting, looking for flurries. Nothing yet but I do need to wash my windows.

252 days until fall 2023. As we Philly sports fans are used to saying, “There’s always next year.” 29F

Agreed! "...cross-polar flow is a possibility..." "It might take the East Coast cities a while to get involved..." "...will get in on the winter action at some point." "...much milder March." (Milder than Jan??) Sounds like LC is saying we could, might, possibly get a 10-14 day window at some point...maybe...if things work out.

Thanks, Don (I guess). I’ve lived through 5 of the 10. Will a sixth be added this year??

You may have to leave those lights up until next December if we don’t get a pattern shake up

Euro looks like it might want to do something @ 240hrs. Hey, IT'S UNDER 300 HOURS!!!

As bad as this winter has been, I can deal with cutter after cutter vs suppression if given the choice. If VA Beach, Norfolk and the Carolinas were getting smoked while we sat high & dry, I'd probably throw a tantum the likes of which would put Ji to shame. 47F
