The winter of '94 stands alone as it's my one and only memory of living in the frozen tundra in my lifetime. And I'm old!! At the time I worked for an oil company and those 3 weeks in January were hell. After those 1sts few days the service dept was working 24 hrs. Delivery trucks had an awful time getting around and some days they couldn't get out at all! Owner bought 3 or 4 new pickup trucks and put 100 gallon tanks and a pump on the back. Only way to get oil into the larger capacity tanks. Service vans were packed full of 5 gal cans for the standard tanks. School kids were out there helping both the techs and drivers. Everyone wore spikes! In the office the phone rang off the hook! A couple of time the police would show up since customers were having a hard time getting through, so they called 911. I had about 4 pages of a legal pad with names and addresses of frozen houses. Our sales team become service techs and owner purchased a machine to help them go on those calls to unfreeze people's pipes. The paperwork and posting of payables and receivables were a lot. Will never forget it. Go Birds!

As much as I don't feel February will behave like a traditional La Nina....I don't think we have ever had a truly high-end run during the month of February in a cool ENSO....January and March, sure...

I'm talking more about saying an upcoming stretch looks boring or quiet or writing off an upcoming stretch just because a storm isn't popping up on guidance. I would definitely wait until we're closer to get super excited and hopeful, but right now we stand in a good spot...much better than looking at a ridge in the east

Probably

I would prefer that verify with SE heights a hair more subdued.

0z GFS (which popped the coastal) vs 12z Euro fail. Easier to see why each outcome did what.

Looks like us border counties have some potential around the 15th .

Is it too much to think we are on the cusp of a record 2011 like run in a few weeks?

Not sure who did that...I had 22". Sucks for them. But CT is where the two guys that responded to me were from, which is why I said "CT". No one ever explicitly claimed that the whole state got porked. This is the risk of jumping into dialogue after the fact.

yea too many people think if there is a circle in the middle atlantic it has to mean big storm

also, more of a signal on the EPS for the 15th... makes sense with the PNA spike

It has gotten complicated. PSEG sold off a lot of their power plants. They kept the transmission end of the business. Natural gas is the cleanest of the fossil fuels, and is now renewable.

lol for the love of god, please verify

Dont paint an entire state under one umbrella. Like me saying all of Mass is bitching about Jan 05 when someone in a subbyhole only got a foot while the Cape had 3 feet.

temp above 32 for first time since 12/28. finally some ice melted off the driveway, but the shady part of it is going to need more than 33 degrees

My favorite storm of all time. 31" here in Garwood NJ. It just kept snowing and snowing, and when the intensity dropped off just a smidge, it ramped up some more!!!

River East FTW that year

That is good. We really need the rain! Seems like qpf has trended upward and that’s a great thing!

Yep agree. Often OKX is underrepresented here but is priceless watching echoes come off the south coast. I miss gravity waves. OKX has the best view of them. BOX and TBOX are beautiful to watch OES and seeder feeder bands.

Well, Paul....to be fair, many of us have been doing that for years now with little fanfare. ...so it's natural to want to wait until something makes at least into the medium range before giving it the time of day. I don't think anyone is debating the PNA spike in that time frame.

I think the problem is that a lot of the snow fans here have an all or nothing mentality when it comes to patterns. If it's not going to show a 1996,2003,2016 level storm then into the garbage it goes as if that's our only way to get snow.

You are the best. Thank you for all your hard work.

Ask the CT guys who brought it up. No one talked about JPs.....we were just discussing how none of us likely being left out of the focus area.

Guarantee he is getting virga. BOX is sampling his area at 5kft. ENX is 10kft. Won’t comment on your scenario, but wind under the beam can affect ground truth.

Good looking moisture connection for this Friday/ Saturday system
