Solid coating from the squall to whiten things up.

CMC did go south compared to the 12z run though. It keeps the significant snow down in southern Jersey and brushes us with 1 to 2 inches up here. Still a long way to go with this one though. We have a shot. At least we know it will be plenty cold for accumulating snow Monday, but hopefully it won't get pushed too far south.

Who the fuck is wspresto? Adds nothing of value but loves to dole out the weenies. These are the most worthless posters. Zero effort given.

The self-listing of accolades under the Youtube bio tells the whole story by the way, those 4 "TED Talks" are a subset called TedX talks. Basically anyone can apply for one of those so long as they have an interesting story, no accolades or anything required. Someone could probably do one on the ups and downs of being on this board lmao

CMCs a pretty big hit. Foot plus jack showing up east of DC on Kuchera

I think that a lot of people are still sore over the fact that they had the rug pulled on them at the last minute and they can't accept the outcome. I get it...it sucks and I would've been disappointed too if I missed out on a 1978 redux. But trying to invalidate the official measurements just to make yourself feel like you didn't miss out on it is not the solution either.

Keep in mind also that even the day after the storm we had a lot of direct sun and it was also very warm. It nearly cracked 40 degrees around here! So you have to take into account not only natural compaction but also the relatively warm temperatures and bright sunshine the next day. Is it possible that some people measured drifts and/or old snow? Of course. But I feel like the people who do the official measurements at TF Green know how to avoid those issues? Considering the fact that their measurements affect the official records you would think that they know what they're doing. For what's its worth, I measured a relatively flat area on my sidewalks with no drifts and no old snow and it was 31", and I wasn't even in the area of the absolute heaviest snow! That was from like Providence to the Fall River area. So I could see people getting around 36" since they were in that band of very heavy snow for longer than me.

I must say this was an off run anyway - def a lot less put together of a storm. Little precarious

Raining in Meriden, CT ATM. That warm front meant business this morning.

Is this like when Cranky thought Hurricane Michael was a cat 2? I’m laughing but I honestly don’t know.

yes i agree with this as it stands right now, the weak wave sunday brings the jet stream way south and doesn't develop the following wave but cmc got it done somehow

Two of my favorites here from the day after.

Don, when was the last time we had a below normal January AND February during a dying La Nina?

Still time for next week

It gives me faith that I can produce a multitude of ways in the future. It’s been a tremendous year at SLK with only 3 or four low end warning level events.

Shocker or is it right where we want it this far out

Looks fine

Kind of dumping graupel right now. Weird. 26F

0z GFS wants to give favored CAD areas in NC and upstate a krispy kreme glaze on the 3rd

Those general upslope areas seem to have done ok which makes sense given the number of clippers and northwest flow disturbances we’ve had…but once you are further east out of the upslope spots, its def been pretty dry.

GFS trending towards other guidance.

Between this story and that YouTube above, this guy is total dink. There's a way to commit to the bit and make it funny. He's just sort of an asshole. And (likely) wrong in his assertions. A truly terrible combination.

Gfs further south I still think Sunday wave ruins the Mondays storm. Better runs had that wave non existent. That wave drags the trough further south for monday.
