That’s how averages are made. 

2009-2018 and 2016-2025 why? They overlap. Seems like cherry picking

first thing i thought of when i saw that. I guess its just like a rolling 10 year stat they grabbed. I dunno, seems kinda weird but i get it.

There’s also been those couple of seasons where Logan had some questionable measurements.

I see very little whining. We squandered  pretty anomalous temp month. People are just calling it like they see if

Just shy of normal for December at 13.75", which is close to 2020 at 14". That following January was terrible...hoping for a better outcome next month.

Is BDL even normal? Hippy valley is BN, ORH, BOS, up to Ray. 

I would say NW MA and along RT is all BN.  Not terrible here wrt totals, because of book end December storms.  Still, it’s easy to speculate what could’ve been with the cold that we’ve had.

I’ll work on getting on the new snow totals thread tonight but I’m around 11” season to date.

That's how you make averages.

ORH has been slightly BN for snowfall in December but not by a lot. November was a goose egg though so seasonal is behind by a 2-3” more.

Euro keeps trying to show an IVT associated with the offshore storm on 1/4 as a northern stream shortwave moves over our region to cause it…wouldn’t be much but another inch or two could happen around that time.

The coastal keeps inching northwest.  Most likely nothing.

I think some people are stuck on the fact that many spots got single digit totals for December and they dread what it might mean for the rest of the winter since it’s a colder ENSO state.

I don’t know the sample size of such winters so you can’t be too confident in these inferences.

So you need more evidence to conclude that February and March usually suck in a La Nina??

I'm done...I vent every now and then, but I'm not carrying on. Just a quick burst this AM.

There was plenty of whining...yes, I do partake at times, but I also contribute a great deal...not like I just spew garbage endlessly.

Seems like we went through this about two weeks before Christmas… Back then the models were abandoning winter. In this case… the ensemble means are not exactly abandoning any winter

Could have a warm period out there as was probably going to be with a negative EPO beginning to set up… But it would be transient under those circumstances

I don't think the rest of winter is doomed or anything....all I meant is it's hard to essentially punt the first half in a cool ENSO year and end up hitting normal totals or above. I will also say that this seasons does have the profile to buck that trend.
