It picked up alright. Looking at the downtown Boone cam and King Street needs a plow!

5” Through January 17th is Equal to the WORST Winter of All-Time through that date. I was HOME November 7th through then. 18” is Not REMOTELY Historic. You want me to get you Every Storm since 1890 that beat it? It’s a Run of the Mill big storm like the forgettable Blizzard of 2006 or of 2022 or 2011 or 2019 (2019 was Memorable for Me, but Not most of you all). The SWFE of 2026 was Historic for the country, but it does Not get a banner in SNE, it will Not be remembered for anything important in this area, and it Certainly doesn’t go to the Hall of Fame just like Bill Cheatachick. It made the Top 10 in Boston. SO Did PDII and MOST of you don’t even want to talk about PDII as Historic. And you want me to pull my Weiner out because I almost jackpotted a 7” storm? 7”?! I got Screwed on the First 6 Storms EVERY possible way. Too Far North. Too Far South. Too Far West. And even the Crazy Rare situation of Too Far East. (Which TONIGHT it looks like I’m Too Far East YET Again, but THIS time, it’s by 5 measly Miles) I can’t Spell Meteorology let alone forecast. But you’re Now getting into an argument with me On Historic Statistics. That’s MY Turf 4 Seasons. 33” at this point is 115th out of the 136 Seasons of data I have. Go ahead and tell me I’m supposed to be excited.

Yeah, I don't want that big negative anomaly on south Alaska/NW Canada. It takes some time to bring back a good pattern after that. I think the last few days of Feb may shift back, but the decadal signal 2018-2025 -PNA is so strong.. I wonder if it will just keep going.

I just don't think it's that negative of a NAO. It's pretty negative the next few days when the EPO goes raging positive, but then it lets up... I mean it is your coming out of -NAO storm, but you don't want that big trough in the SW.

Yeah it's probably the best start to winter in the past 10 years, especially considering the snow pack and temps.

Just over a inch so far.. we take!

You are living on another planet. Every single climate site is above climo snowfall. Your are completely wrong on nearly every single point. This is through February 3rd. They are all still above and will go up after this storm is done. Your area just got a historic 18" snowstorm with way below normal temps, deep snow pack, a 3-6" storm today and you say it's all time horrific you are delusional. There is no one on this site that would agree with you, I guarantee that. Oh and you just near jackpotted with over 7" on a storm that could have really gone OTS. (BDR) - 33.2"/16.2"/205% (BDL) - 35.8"/28.1"/127% (NYC) - 21.1"/15.5"/136% (EWR) - 25.2"/16.5"/153% (PVD) - 25.6"/20.3"/126% (BOS) - 34.1"/25.8"/132% (ORH) - 49.9"/38.5"/130%

South Kingstown/Peace Dale here. My shoulders and back will trade you QPF. :-)

A little too thirsty for the needle dick. It's a very narrow trough. Complaining when you are middle of the road for one random model output in a fairly minor event that's a nowcast? You might do really well? If you don't instead of 7 inches you'll get 4 and it's a pack refresher. There's been a fun amount of snow on the ground for weeks. It's pretty again. We've had more days of feeling like it's actually winter here than since 2015 and it's snowing right now. Where is the anger coming from? This event was always minor bar a very small band.

Did you SEE the Models? Can you not SEE northeast RI? I just Reposted one of the MANY models that show the same thing. NE RI getting Screwed. And on the Winter - Do you Really think 5” though Mid-January is GOOD?!? That’s All-Time Record Bad. 33” through early February? That’s Bottom 25% of all winters. Did you FORGET that I got Screwed on All 6 of the First 6 Storms?? Where everyone from on the flipping Cape to even SE CT to All of Massachusetts and the Rest of CT and Everyone North was AHEAD of me? YES. It Absolutely Sucks Balls. All-Time Horrific. And YOU call it “Incredible”!?!?!? And “Above Climo”!? That’s FACTUALLY a Lie.

3:00 am the wind woke me up. Snow and wind…17mph wind, 30 mph gust Originally not real great visibility. The temperature dropped from 24° to 19° in a couple minutes. Edit: 4:00am the snow is over, currently 5mph wind.

Euro really moderating the warmup which is a nice surprise. Snowpack till late February?

Snow Squall coming through Hartwood now. Wild wind and Heavy Snow. Really good stuff.

Final CT from early yesterday morning.

3:20 am Another dusting snd winds starting up and 30.5

Beer? I'm like mind blown that anyone in RI could complain about this system. There has been amazing trends for everywhere in RI. This looked like it could easily have been a general C-2/1-3 across the area but models honed in on a norlun for RI. Even 0.3-0.4 can get you to 4-6" and with this, that's a huge win. And there is no one in SNE that would say this winter sucks balls unless you hate snow. It's been incredible so far, nothing like the last 3. Everyone's above climo.

Models look like ass. Basically winter over

Wind gusts now. .

Grok AI: Can you Create a Snowstorm that Specifically Hammers ONLY RI, almost No one else, but Also Somehow Totally F**ks the town of Cumberland. Thanks. AI:

Looks like Salem over to Manchester-By-The-Sea getting croacked. Manchester-By-The-Dong today.

This odd the 5th output I’ve seen that SPECIFICALLY SCREWS MY TOWN and Eternity in RI . I Everyone Else. What the Absolute Fkkk. EVEN THE ONE TOTALLY SPECIFIC RI that I’ve Ever Seen in my ENTIRE LIFE…. Manages to Screw My Town. This Winter like the last 3 a Suck by GD Balls.

sn+ here for last 20 or so minutes. Absolutely pouring. Once again the 3am bird gets the worm! Picked up about 1/2 inch so far from this band
