Finally got a CocoRaHS gauge at home(Needed to find money in the budget its $39.75 with shipping). Have been taking the ones here at school for a year or so. Also finally going to a skywarn class in April to get that done after a numerous amount of years wanting to.

Nobody gave me any love on my new avatar huh!  Are you all asleep at the wheel or do you see people like this regularly?

Am I supposed to know who that is?

I am thinking toms river may hit 80 this February at this rate lol

Frank it's just a random mental patient in an insane asylum off of google. Thought it was appropriate for what many on this board think of me at times.

Watch the last 15 days of Feb and the first week and half of March 8-12 thish we get 20" plus of snow and barbaric cold one MECS and one HECS. People will flip after another abnormally warm winter. I'll rejoice like no tomorrow.

Personally our base state going into winter was still Nino the tremendous warmth over the arctic, oceans were warm when we started winter, if the fn NAO and AO could ever get their acts together we'd have a 2010-11, solar has really been so unopportunistic - no sunspots or coronal holes for days (10 to be exact when from xmas to Jan 5th that stretch sucked)and then when the pattern starts to change it acts up thus bombarding earth with high levels of rays that bring tremendous North Lights but F up our pattern/blocking last 9 days. Oh and when it was quiet it got cold from the 5th to the 12/13th, I know just one variable in the equation but the size of the latest coronal hole is the size of Australia that is facing earth by some estimations.

I have 14" of snow IMBY so far not bad my average is 34" so I need a couple of Mothra Zilla's to help put within range of Normal.

NAO July correlation throw it out this year did not work, AO in October correlation along with it. Siberian Snow Growth correlation has not performed well. Al pointed out the Se ridge which was so frickin strong due to anomalous warm fall just rolled into winter - like Godzilla Nino last year - when the EPO relaxed it roared back.

I am not giving up the fight by any means just deflated and discouraged with yesterday's runs/flip. 10-12 days of Met winter will be down teh drain to a degree and for Frank whom I tremendously respect and follow since he was 16 on the channel 7 board, hoping part of this call verifies!

Weenies need to unite and bring positive juju to this weather world,

Keep the Faith peeps.

Six more weeks of "winter"  . . . or six more weeks of THIS winter? The two may not be synonymous.

I've become skeptical of rodent forecasters anyway. The squirrels in my yard were scurrying around, feverishly digging, in full-on "we're going to have a cold snowy winter" mode back in October-November. Turns out they were just drunk from my recycling container.

lol Staten Island Chuck says spring comes early

I've been seeing a lot of woodpeckers recently

Millton Mel also says spring comes early

Staten Island Chuck said an early spring - so goes the winter pattern - interior winter.

We shall - early indication of this SSWE showing the PV dumps teh cold air into the PAC on latest model runs but they suck so we'll see - 2011-12 is ringing a bell here - Europe is about to get crazy cold and it will snow again into London - most of the cold this year has been locked up on that side of the world.

Low solar + westerly QBO = Eastern Atlantic + Western Europe blocking, is also = no eastern North America + northwestern Atlantic blocking. So far those equations are continuing to prove true :/

WOW !!! 2 hours and 9 minutes with no posts. You can tell the weather is boring.

[Guest]

The highs are really high and the lows are really low. For now, I'm still hoping for the 8th to take a turn for the better. It wouldn't take much, at least for my area.

[Grselig]

WOW !!! 2 hours and 9 minutes with no posts. You can tell the weather is boring.

Very sad. And based on last weeks thoughts, it would be nonstop action today. Just depressing.

[Guest]

I think back to the last storm. There was the anticipation from days and days of tracking, followed by the disappointment of going to bed the night it arrived thinking it wasn't to get cold enough to snow and lastly, the joy of waking up to find that it had changed over during the night. It's a fun ride even if the ending isn't always what we hoped for.

calm before the storm!!

[Guest]

Seeing as we are in a bit of a lull, can anybody recommend some good introductory books on meteorology? I've looked at a few websites, but I find I end up with 10 pages open because I'm constantly having to look up terms.

Uh oh. Big silence in the Long Range thread and now Frank is planning his alcohol consumption well ahead of time. Not good.

Yup, we went from a great every three days of possible snow storms to a real clutserf_ _ _ _ pattern that could yield some frozen with a SWFE Mon night/Tuesday morning but seem to be fizzling now to - attention is turning to 7 days out again. Thi is trying all PATIENCE ON ALL WX BOARDS. I am telling you we will have a couple/ maybe few weeks stretch from mid/later Feb to about the 8th of March and then spring - I am literally going to pump out my swimming pool because it has not been an ice rink since Jan 12th - almost as bad as last year.

Started off so promising in Dec (ice rink that is) with it open for business from the 14thish to the 22nd, Jan about 5 days from the 7th till the 12th

It's true. I am not sure the MJO amplification we'll see is enough to combat the QBO/PAC JET.

[SNOW MAN]

I'm getting nervous because if the EMPEROR is having doubts about our chances of getting anymore decent snowstorms that's not good. Shhh if you listen closely you can hear taps playing softly for our dying Winter season going out with a whimper.

[rb924119]

I fold, wave the white flag, give up. Bring on Spring. After seeing the guidance today the seasonal tendency looks to stand firm. I'm done.

Since nada work (well in my profession, I have my hustles lol, no nothing illegal) for me yet I am way ahead of ya Frank lol, starting shortly. Whatever happens the rest of this winter is what happens, thats the view I have to take at this pt., just for kicks look at the euro wind gusts for the cutter (yeah it prolly won't verify, cutter winds usually never do)

Need an "End of winter" gtg soon....
