Of course, I moved from here to Sandwich in 2020. and Of course, I wasn't in Sandwich for Jan 27, 2015 Missed both maxes due to bad timing.

And honestly most bugs are more hardy than people give them credit for. You really need more than just one night of hard freeze to kill most. Many can just sort of slow down their metabolism and hunker down.

Yeah that aint happening again there in our lifetimes. Sure, there will be more 30-burgers here and there for C/E MA....those do happen occasionally. But 40 burgers for Fall River and PVD do not.

There’s still a lot of snow here but it’s definitely been melting fast in my area as well. The piles of course will be around for weeks or longer and they already look black/gross. I’m all for whatever warmup is on the way if it won’t snow.

Strong signal for warmth as we roll into the second week of March, showing up well on both the EPS and GEFS.

Yep doesnt look good for snow

Maybe, but the NESIS rating is Northeast-centered so I don't know the extent in which areas get included. Jan 25-27 was better BOS and points north, Feb 23-24 better for PVD and points south.

I’m home now so it’s guaranteed to miss.

GFS back to being shitty? it's like 6 hours earlier than NAM's

The general public will be happy...everyone's done. (Except us weenies)

I feel good saying that for PVD-EWB. At least not in my lifetime.

Seekonk had 27" in '78.

How likely are those 50s and 60s in NNE around the 9th? Sent from my SM-S921U using Tapatalk

The April Fools, 1997 Snowstorm was a good one too (I was living in South Jersey at the time) with reports in South Jersey of 10" or so. Not sure how good it was for central PA.

like clockwork, march gets your hopes up then april crushes us with some of the most depressing weather of the year

I’m hyped.

That seems to be the pattern most of this decade with the exception of the first half of 2024, at least here in S WI. Long periods of nothing interspersed with about 6 weeks of precip and storms, followed by another 2-3 month stretch of nothing. Hopefully we can get enough precip in the Spring this year.

Great data list, @SACRUS Were the measurements done somewhere in Newark-proper before the airport was established? Does the airport location goes back to 1931?

I had just been born three months prior.

If we get a big dog at some point between now and April I would say A, but I can't go more than a flat B. Personally I am not one who enjoys prolonged cold so that doesn't help the grade before someone says Detroit has had a good winter. We have had a consistent winter with periodic snows but our biggest storm is only like 5.9". It has been endless penny fluff.

Interesting my father always talked about the storm and the amounts but it didn’t seem that impressive on these maps

I feel like we’ve said this like 2-3x in the last 15 years. “This will never be topped” and then it is, and not to far in the future. Not to get into wolfie favorite debate, but I think we’re seeing the extremes of CC play out kind of in real time. We’ve had some absolutely barren seasons recently, and then an all time blizzard. Youre getting the lowest of the lows and highest of highs basically.

I was thinking the rad pits could have one last hurrah below 0F early next week. Cold high cresting over deep snow pack....that'll plummet regardless of when in the season it is occurring.

Not letting me add multiple photos but this is a pic from beside our place at around 2pm. This is before the heaviest snow which fell from then till about 6. Now it also was windy but that’s roughly 8-10 on the seats already. Long and short- as crazy as it sounds (and in the valley 3000 feet below they got a dusting!)- this actually happened at Wintergreen. I don’t know if it was a perfect spot for upslope or what- but it was easily over a foot. Incredible to witness!

You know the forecast is uninteresting when the Banter thread has the most recent post.
