Agreed, I gave up. I don't think it's actually possible in my environment to take proper measurements with drifting and plowing and walls and fences and houses in close proximity. I tried to go into the cemetery to take measurements. Half the snow had blown hundreds of yards away through a chain link fence making 6 foot drifts and burying cars. I also don't give a shit. I don't believe the measurements from the 2022 blizzard here and for me, even if this was actually the same or less, it just wasn't. The snow is so heavy and caked. That was powder.

Just re-title the thread Winter UNCANCELED Banter 25/26 and we should be clear from here on out

When you see what PVD and SE MA pulled off, it definitely pulls on the heart strings a bit . But I’ve seen a 36” with NEMO and still that wasn’t the jack in that one . All I know is this has been a winter I did not predict, was wrong about and will take to my grave as a top 5. And if these next few events work out. May go top 3

As of 1 pm, Central Park reported 19.7" of snow. Yet, after 1 pm, there was additional measurable precipitation. Based on the additional precipitation, the final figure should probably be close to 21". We'll see what is reported tonight, as no 7 pm update was provided.

Storm 1 of 1 here. Beats everything I’ve been alive for. Still snowing

44ish on the season. Definitely a classic KU with that “big dog” vibe throughout. 1/25 in my area was totally bonkers as a 10 inch event capped by major icing that persisted for weeks, my parents in Seaside had ice skating rink quality ice on the ground for 3ish weeks (had shoveled up the snow and the ice fell last, after we had to leave). Significant and long lived cold spells despite some mild periods and warmups. Yep this is a good winter. TR had like 74 inches in 2009 but I wasn’t here then, but this is absolutely the best winter since the 2009-2015 block down here. Kind of winter I’ve been sorely missing and we all needed to balance the scales a little.

60-70 or so, it’s been crazy.

9.5" - 2SE Townsend MA.

where are you located

Huge bust for Western Henrico. Oh well. Mid March may deliver one last time if PNA can go positive again. .

thanks! I just ran out of reactions for the day and the first thing i thought of was you. You react to everything, how do you not run out? I didn't even know that was a thing..

Well it is last years panic room, I think.

I hear ya. You recognized it earlier than most. The GFS ticking east after being so steady, started the red flag waving. Just wasn't 'that storm'. 'That much' in this case, was a mere 75 miles open ocean...

really?? and Ginx just to your SSE had 27" or so? That's a wild gradient

Calling it a very uncertain 3.2" here for today on top of yesterday's 0.3", putting me a hair over 50 for the season. What a storm in SNE. They'll sing songs about this one for generations. One more 6er would be great before we close it out.

Kinda how i felt in Jan 2005. It didn't make sense, where did all the snow go? the woods? somewhere else? It looked like 6-8", with bare grass and a max snow drift of 18". Reports around me were 15-19" and everywhere reported over 12" in every direction. So how could i have a foot or more when the maximum drift was 1.5 feet and the min was 0 in many spots. Didn't add up. This time drifting wasnt nearly as bad due to the consistency of the snow, when its pure powder fuhgetaboutit. This was relatively uniform, especially for the winds.

Well, she doesn't have a weather background. It's possible she stopped doing that but I'm fairly certain at one time she said she did wipe the board every hour. I'm not sure, I don't know who does their measurements or where they're done. It could be that the wind made the measurement inaccurate.

For Burlington 16.0 will do it

Wasn't this thing in like fucking Canada two runs ago?

Really none of the models did well at all with the snow here last night and today. The rgem, NAM, hrrr, globals, etc. this time they were horrible. Reading the comments from the NY forum, they were disappointed in the RGEM. It did pretty bad there too. It’s still a good model, but even good models have their weaknesses I guess. This storm was one of them.

going to sleep early tonight not waiting for models tonight, exhausted great job everyone hope everyone had a blast you guys are the best thank you for the most memorable winter!

80+ DC/BWI would be absolutely savage

hopefully they know how to take proper measurements in wind, becuase I don't. I had spots that didnt have any more than an inch from the beginning of the storm through its end. Tops of our cars had almost no snow on them for the entire storm. No idea how you measure and account for that kind of stuff. I fear that some of those readings tomorrow will say 8 or 10 inches, which is probably not a good representation of what really happened.

Man, what a 30 day stretch you've had. How much all together, do you reckon?

We'll sort of but not entirely for the state itself in general.
