Amesbury and Rockport are night and day though. Amesbury is pretty far north and just inland enough to help. 

Yeah Rockport is literally like in the water....it's east of Gloucester. :lol:

Amesbury can frequently be just west of the CF.

Big difference in the 2008 ice storm. Newburyport right on the water didn't have much if any, and a few miles west in Amesbury got smoked. West of the CF as you said.

Here's temp maps from the 12/16/07 and 12/21/08 events....Amesbury is just west of the CF on both of them while it's torching (relatively speaking) out on Cape Ann and even in Newburyport.

Yes. 2004, 2007.

 

He played a key role in extra innings in 2004’s “Four Days in October.”

Wakefield entered Game 5 in the twelfth inning with the teams locked in a 4-4 tie. His knuckleball had been effective against the Yankees in the past, and this game was no exception. He wound up throwing three scoreless innings, and picked up the win when David Ortiz hit the game-winning single in the bottom of the fourteenth.

Yes, we rest our case. 

Of course, you also had gm 7 of 2003....but the innings were "serviceable".

As this winter should be.

@Typhoon Tip

This piece of literature from several years ago seems to harken back to what you were saying about the Pacific driving the atlantic.

In addition, many studies reported that the tropical Pacific heating have effects on the tropical Atlantic SST anomaly (Wolter 1987; Curtis and Hastenrath 1995; Gallego et al. 2001; Alexander et al. 2002; Huang et al. 2002), which is argued to affect the North Atlantic atmosphere (e.g., Watanabe and Kimoto 1999; Robertson et al. 2000). Therefore, the tropical Atlantic SST may serve as a mediator to link the tropical Pacific SST anomaly and the NA atmosphere. 

You guys should have a look at this piece....great job at detailing the divergent la nina evolutions, and the differences across NA.

He's trying to coax you into asserting otherwise, so that he can fit snuggly into his pinstriped footie jammies tonight with a peace of mind.

I love his tactics of getting an opinion out of Scott or Will... it usually works pretty well.  Tried and true.  Paint them in a corner and make them remove themselves.

Kind of like the end of Billy Madison when Steve Buscemi puts his gun down and puts lipstick on himself while laying down in comfort?

I won’t post texts but he’s fully prepared for a ratter. Not making it up 

It's because it bothers you. Personally, I don't have confidence either way...other than a weenie feeling thinking it might be half decent here. We all know how it goes with snow. It's dam difficult to predict around here, especially SNE where standard deviation is large.

I  know its not sexy, but its necessary. Akin to why Wakefield was underappreciated with the Red Sox....guys who throw 200 serviceable IP/season do not grow on trees. You can't win without them.

The cold source is Tim Wakefield....Pedro's starts would not have mattered without guys like him.

Ah the Sox fans remembering and analogizing days of yore. Pats fans did a lot of that yesterday watching Brady and Gronk put on a clinic.
