Haven't seen you post in a while, welcome back! Steve's a good guy hes just very big dog focused and also tires of our long winters and frequent snow (getting old i guess lol). Though it didnt quite happen, its astounding that Boston had the chance to get more snow yesterday in one storm than they did in the entire 2 season stretch of 2022-23 + 2023-24. Central Mass is much safer than the coast, but the reality is the east coast is feast/famine and they were long overdue for one of their monster snows. You can only avoid climo so long. One of the frequent posters there (40/70) hasn't had an avg snow season since 2018.

Based on this it sounds like its exactly where we want it. And with the trend bringing this closer to us, seems like we are in a great spot.

WB 6Z EURO AI is a nice hit. Waiting for map.

EURO ai is a big hit at 6z

Euro AI again

1-3/2-4 west and 3-6 East . It’ll be super high ratio fluff

If you consider an inch solid. Maybe a little more near Boston.

GFS precariously close to a coastal crawler again

It may as well have an eye like a hurricane.

I know it’s allegedly only about five days away, but I can’t get over there is already a new event thread.

As depicted, the next two weeks would be pretty memorable. Will be plenty of tracking ahead, but will begin taking runs seriously only if they are all onboard come Wednesday afternoon.

Yes, that and how the ridge is oriented. Right now it's a bit too east and tilted east up top

This is how I felt lol, cant just pop an HECS like this! 977 low sitting over lewes Delaware on 0z euro is wild. We’d be cranking snow and winds with that.

Looking at the 0Z GFS, there's actually a shot we don't get above freezing for the entire run. The last time we were above freezing here was Friday the 23rd. So if true, that would realize a stretch of 24 consecutive days below freezing obliterating the previous record of 15 straight days. We better have a nice Spring after this! "The longest consecutive stretches of temperatures remaining below freezing in the Millersville/Lancaster County area are 15-day periods, occurring from Feb. 5–19, 1979, and Jan. 20–Feb. 3, 1961."

Dropped 10 degrees in about 25 minutes. Checked a few PWS and they all show the same when winds switched NW.

That have something to do with where the PNA ridge will be?

Light snow, another coating on top of what fell. I’ll go with the 11” others in my area have since it was tough to measure and I think some blowing snow/stuff got onto my table I use to measure. What a mess. I wonder what liquid equivalents people have?

I moved to southeast Michigan a number of years ago from central Mass, where we’d often get more snow than Boston because of less coastal taint and some amount of orographic lift. It’s been tough seeing some of their best winters since I’ve moved here, and I still stupidly believe the long range models that show 12”+ around here because that was always a reality out there. If it make you feel any better, tracking these monster storms is fun, but the reality of digging out isn’t. I had to dig a path in the backyard for the family dog growing up when an April 1st storm dropped nearly 3 feet of cement snow practically overnight, and our German Shepherd couldn’t plow through the snow to pee, and the snow was too dense for the snowblower to chew through. Spent a good 4 hours or so shoveling that day.

17.1”

Including the sleet, I end up with 11" from this. Which is in line with nearby obs. Crazy event.

1/18: 1” 1/25: 8.5” Season Total: 18.8”

We make a run at 90 today and then we can start thinking about snow in South Florida. Been here 30 years, never seen 7 straight days below 70 but we are heading that direction. Congrats on turning lemons into lemonade with this last system, and looking good for another next week.

Round 2 looking solid today

We are back
