It's just hilarious how that pic sums up this winter so far!

Just the reality of this climate. Even in the absence of anthropogenic warming, we are due for a a multi winter dud. Looking back, there are instances of 8-12 years of effectively meh. Do the right thing and murder their hopes and dreams now before they start to have unrealistic expectations and any emotional baring on the outcome of the verification of a model run.

Why haven't you been issuing the warnings and mod previews for people repeatedly posting the GFS or sharing long range prognostications without a real foundation of understanding in what they are irresponsibly sharing?

90 parts reality, 9 parts angst, 1 part passing down the legend of Tim to my son. I know Tim really doesn't control the weather and that for 8 months of the year we generally are agreeable on our weather preferences, but it is nice to have a consistent baddie for the twenty years that this community has been together.

I prefer to think of it as top tier… top tier torching, that is.
