When mine were young it wasn’t stressful if it was a mild , snowless winter Because you were out traveling for work and selling the sizzle to poor, naive customers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They thought every winter involved massive coastals and blizzards and feet of snow . That’s just about all they saw except for a winter or two . My point is though, I’ve never seen someone stress so much about kids being inside . Take them out to lunch or a brewery with the wife . Go shopping, movies.. there’s plenty to do 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only takes a small subtle difference to collapse the jenga puzzle. Yeah the best match for the pattern in the second half of this month was Dec 1970….but nuances such as a slightly deeper PNA trough out west make a big difference. You can tell though just by looking at the pattern how it wouldn’t have taken much of a tweak to get a bunch of solid events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post was to make a point on the way we should go about these things and not to pounce on others. You torch tiger are definitely one of the antagonizers. You don't come on here with any positive feedback. You come on here to dig into people, and twist at night. You are definitely one of those bullies and you really shouldn't be on here. So take that and stick it where the sun don't shine It sounded like your point was "cya next winter, this winter blows". Can't blame you if your only wx interest is snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the essence of what I missed in December....the RNA was deeper and less variable. The lower heights also hung around AK a bit longer than I had thought early on in the month. Pretty small misses in the grand scheme of things have a very big sensible impact and can really flush a forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deeper PNA trough also caused the more amplified ridge into the south-central US (like TX/OK up into the lower MS valley) and that helped shred systems…if a few of these shortwaves stay slightly less shredded, you prob get a couple of warning events out of it.

Totally - winter needs to behave itself and not be a ****ing toddler about it........you can't lose December like this and feel good about the rest of the season even if it turns out "average".....so many people on here are cool with an "average" winter.....its fuking weird.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is....when you lose a significant portion of the early winter, and then end up near average, it implies a pretty damn good period or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd obviously prefer snow, but a deep Arctic blast would work for me too. It seems like we don't get too many of those 10 degree high days down here. 2 minutes ago, 40/70 Benchmark said: The thing is....when you lose a significant portion of the early winter, and then end up near average, it implies a pretty damn good period or two. Exactly. These days I'd rather punt December and have a strong February/March (since Jan hasn't been great in a while) over middling events that define a season.

rimetree Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Seeing as we still technically have winter until later in March, lot of time for some really good events. If I get 40.5 inches of snow for the remainder of the season, it'll be the best winter of the last 4 in terms of snow but still be below normal in that dept. Average would be a huge win.

The definition of a good winter does not include losing December.......theres three periods in winter and you can't go down 2-0 in the first period and expect to blow out the other team especially when the wait for the next game is 9 months - God it sucks to lose December - can't do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we don't get at least 6" of powder on top of this in the next week or 10 days, it will become a PITA. Up here we are on the edge but still optimistic. Deep winter look outside this morning on the walk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
