Most of the game was as frustrating as this winter. 

Difference is that ended well....

Ultimately, I’d rather not anyway. Had enough commutes in 1” of snow this year, I’m all set with that.

the 00z gfs is the perfect screw job for both systems. What a dumpster fire

What it comes down to is we just need to vanquish this persistent cool ENSO paradigm once and for all...I know some don't feel it's is a factor, but I don't mean ENSO itself....I mean the entire Pacific arena has been in cool ENSO mode for about 8 years. This is why the MJO always seems to skip over phase 8....even the past 1.5 seasons that have been decently cold, where are the big east coast storms?? The tropical forcing has still constantly deconstructively interfered with major east coast cyclogenesis for the most part. That strong El Niño a couple of years back was still left to compete with that residual cool ENSO forcing, which is why it sucked so badly. Even when MJO is in the COD...all that means is defaults to the baseline forcing...which is...take a guess. This is why I don't get people like DT who blow loads over La Niña weakening...it's like having your entire house burning to the ground and breathing a sigh of relief after dumping a bucket of water over the front stairs. His understanding of ENSO is so piss-poor...very reductive in nature.

It’s been frustrating.  The medium to long range pattern looks promising, but if there’s nothing on the horizon at the end of the week, my winter enthusiasm is checking out.

That 00z GFS solution is my 2nd most preferred outcome, with the most preferred being a major storm, of course.

I’m assuming we get some inconvenience snow.  C -2”. 

[40/70 Benchmark]

Yea, GEFS blow, too.

[CoastalWx]

Yeah this is dead. What a winter. Dews will be here before you know it. 

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Major step back on the gefs too. Game. Set. Match.

[rimetree]

I'll take a couple inches and hopefully get the cold to settle in long enough to take advantage of a better pattern for cyclogenesis. Need a double-digit storm region wide soon or we'd be looking at another sub-par snow season.

We pray for a March 2012 re-do

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

What an absolute gag worthy performance by the gfs.

completely folded in two runs inside of day 4

[40/70 Benchmark]

MJO is amplifying in phase 6...also part of the reason why I have always hated this threat period. How many big storms do we get in phase 6? Better shot once it hits 7 after the 20th.

Lol.... What happened to the rest of this month and all of February? Are you closing the shades? 

[Torch Tiger]

there are no issues with where to put the snow ;O

[Kitz Craver]

That was fun while it lasted. 

[CoastalWx]

This hobby blows. At least stress free summer weather will be here before you know it. Can’t wait.

Lol... Right, until the next big one shows up 

But in all seriousness... I get your frustration. Just can't understand the model frenzy. Oh well

Not seeing a lot in the way of cold in the next few weeks, more seasonal to slightly BN/AN

[MJO812]

Horrible

This winter is on life support

No it isnt

[UnitedWx]

Time to close and lock the thread? 

[Damage In Tolland]

Definitely did not see this coming . The bigger issue is there’s literally nothing to look forward to or track . Grass it is I guess 

[Masswx]

This winter is crap
