PhineasC Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I'm more optimistic then most here about this winter. I definitely don't see any red flags that it's going to be a total bust. Makes it feel a lot longer when the threats start this early. I have just been lurking, not had much time. I just moved back to Manchester md with my wife and our first child was born oct 30. Little Steve and Lisa are doing good but I've been busy to say the least. We are excited for babies first snow. Everyone here is optimistic about this winter. There are very few calling for normal snow or below normal snow. I suspect the CWG forecast will deflate some balloons, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It would be pretty funny if this November pattern got everyone all excited, but the SAI/SCE stuff and a SSW led to a super -AO that squashed everything to give the mid-south a historic winter. A 2009-2010 without the moderate-strong Nino to compensate for the -AO. Cold and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Matt's going to go JB on us, but I think he's been pretty clear that he doesn't see this as a warm/snowless winter. If I were to "forecast his forecast", I bet he's going to go something like 0 - -2 on the winter temps and 10-15" or 12-18" for DCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Welcome back! I doubt Matt's going to go JB on us, but I think he's been pretty clear that he doesn't see this as a warm/snowless winter. If I were to "forecast his forecast", I bet he's going to go something like 0 - -2 on the winter temps and 10-15" or 12-18" for DCA. Which is reasonable for DCA....especially 12-18, but I imagine most around here would be disappointed if that's what DC ended up with. It's been over 25 years since DCA surpassed climo in consecutive seasons. That's based on the 15.4 climo from 1981-2010. It's time to do it again. I suspect that if DCA does fall in the 12-18 range, MBY would be in a 18-25 range. Folks on your side of 95 more in line with 25-35 and areas well N/W up in Manchester/Hereford/etc 35-50. I would hope that would make all us happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get half the amount of snow as last year it will be a very solid year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid wind Not as bad as last year when the landscaping crew in my.neighborhood blew the leaves into the woods before clearing the leaves from the gutters. I just stood there and laughed at the stupidity. And no, they didn't clear the ground a second time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 The lack of leave dropping trees in my yard make me happy. No raking needed. And then I remember that ever since my dad died, I now have to go to moms and do her yard for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Leaves still are dropping, today will be my 5th sortee battling the little beasts and their endless assualt is not yet done. The red maple and some oaks still have most of their leaves. I love fall except for having the clear the leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Planted my garlic today - 18 Music and 23 Polish Softneck. This is my fourth year growing garlic and I've been getting better yields every year. I feel like I finally have it pretty much figured out, so I'm hoping for a good crop this year.
