40/70 Benchmark

I think these balks at committal are hiccups.

I would be shocked if we don't see January average a +PNA in the mean.

Another day in the 40s with rain....hope I'm not spoiled enough to have forgotten all about this day in 2048.

I don't know if "spoiled" is appropriate.....if you have received that amount frequently enough to be perceived as "spoiled", then it's inherently not very anomalous, so why would it be memorable?

Can't complain about that.

Yea, that is who I remembered it...but just found a COOP that had 15". I remember hearing Methuen had like 5-7" of sand.

Yea, sharp cut-off in NW MA.

Actually, looks like Haverhill had 16"...I would still classify that as "lesser" for my area....

Not for my area....like 7" of sand.

Yes, absolutely.

Right...I had like 15" total. Fine, but nothing memorable.

I understand it looks great synoptically speaking....logically. I'm just tired of the disappointment and won't get excited until it's imminent. I get we are all generally snake bitten...but take that up a level for me...even the few times we have gotten it lately, I usually find myself a hole.

Feb 2006 had the same issue Boxing Day and 2000 did....best banding was well west. I did fine, but nothing rare...

When nothing works out, holding out hope in the ensembles becomes tiresome....people need more of a crutch when beaten and bruised.

That was sarcastic, but my sentiment concerning coastal mid atlantic events was genuine. I'm just sick of hearing about favorable avenues just before mother nature inevitably choses the alternative route...I half except that to happen here.
