Glad you guys got in those. Everyone wants to jack, but I hate seeing people get porked. It's no fun. Only one who enjoys that might be Ray.

I did the CT 1 in Rehoboth Beach summer of 2020 it was pretty cool. You’ll probably have to travel for that. Hopefully at least lol

I'll be 47 in May. Next up on the list is a strong Cat 1 or higher.

Two records in a row here, yes. Two awful seasons in between. A+ winter this year from two events and 2 months of snowpack. I'll shut up for a while. I mean, realistically I'll shut up until next season.

Think I just heard an osprey. No visual. Time for a lunchtime mini hike. 45

Anomalous is great for sure. Just not sure I’d trade a season for one or even two events.

Whare you, like 40? lol

I did not say categorically over. I said "mostly" over.

That's a cool little tool, thanks. I love being able to feel all sciencey

The irony too is that for the area south of PVD..that was the screw spot in March 2013. Literally exorcised the demons with this storm. For Neonpeon in Newport....I know he mentions getting porked there a lot, but Jan 2022 and this past Monday definitely redeemed there.

But looks to be very rainy. I think we possibly get back into snow mode around the 12th or so as we come out of that warmth.

Yeah it was getting close to that there. Up here where 2015 sort of targeted, that remains on a whole other level of insanity. But man there is a lot of snow there.

Yeah I’m not going to give up 10 years for one blissful 36-48 hour period. We all crave deep winter. It’s what brings most of us here.

That is true too because lord knows I've bitched about that. I just love the rush of anomalous events. I feel like at my age I've seen a lot of shit weather wise. So anything anomalous for me gets special treatment.

I have seen frost in June even in the foothills. Freeze in early May tend to occur every 10-15 years

No offense but anyone saying they’ll trade one 3’ storm or one monster winter for a decade of ratters is lying to themselves. From my experience that feeling of triumph only lasts the rest of the season at the most.

Backroads from scituate down through norwell and pembroke were absolutely destroyed. I did a drive through the night after the storm and it was amazing. Almost 2015 level banks.

That sounds like a miserable decade. We all love the huge events but we also have been on here long enough to know that winter is long and sucks when nothing happens. A lot of useless model watching. Its sort of like the sports debate of trading a championship run for a decade of last place finishes… that one season is the pinnacle of fun, but man the rest of the years are a lot of meaningless games.

I've been in North ORH County for 14 years and I've already had (3) 30" events that I can think of off the top of my head, or at least very close to 30". A 40" will never happen though, too up and in.

February 27 1981: Thunderstorms move across Minnesota, dumping 1.61 inches of rain at Montevideo. Many places were glazed over with ice. 1948: A severe ice storm occurs over central Minnesota.

Hope I’m wrong. The upcoming pattern on some of these runs reminds me of March 2010/2012 but I’m ready for one more good run afterwards.

well....maybe not a decade, hopefully only a couple ratters, then roll out a handful of events that just want to one up each other....

Based on today and definitely tomorrow, spring has already arrived
