I think you’d be surprised how bad NNE did in the 1980s too. Esp the latter half. Lot of stein up there. Early 80s we’re great there.

Should be an interesting ride the back half of February probably right into at least the first week of March. After about the second week of March or so I will be game to start looking for warmer weather. Until then lets pile it on

I lived in Brockton much closer to the cape but far enough to get boned.

15.6 IMBY. I usually radiate well, but not last night.

Let’s do 6z gfs

I recall one event where we have like 5" at my dad's in Woburn....I was ecstatic, until I heard the cape had over a 1', then my mood dampened rapidly. Even at like 7 years old, I was IMBY to the core.

He's at the "bargaining" stage of acceptance, I see.

Yeah I remember NNE doing well in the limited times I went up there. And then I remember hearing about the random biggies the Cape got and down toward the mid Atlantic.

If the Niña is on the way out and the floodgates finally open this time the drought will be gone by May.

It was the decade of "-EPOoooooo no", as @CoastalWxsays. The 80's was a decade heavily predisposed to +NAO/-EPO...which made for a high volume of messy snow to rain events in SNE, but NNE cleans up in that regime. I remember we would have 3" of crust on the ground where I grew up in Wilmington/Woburn area, only to get up to our camp in Heniker, NH and just be awe-struck when they had like a 3' pack.

This has been our coolest November to mid-February in over a decade. But since the Northern stream and Western ridge was so dominant, we couldn’t achieve the snowfall totals of 1996, 2014, 1994, 2003, and 2011. Some lingering influence from the longer term lower snowfall pattern since 2018-2019 even though this winter was much colder. But I am very happy we got our big benchmark snowstorm which brought many close to the long term 25 to 30 average with the more active STJ for a week in late January.

100 or bust^

We were at a cross roads and one again went the opposite way

I always reference that, as I just did One of two events where my area slayed ORH.

This morning's AIGFS is about as weenie as it gets for the full run.

December 5, 1981 was a mini Feb 1969.

Feels like we haven't had a Spring with nice long lasting ridging in quite some time!

6z Euro next Thursday starts the parade early.

Time to ban lol

January 23-February 15, 1980 was exceptionally dry with just a trace of precipitation. There was some rain afterward, but it took until the first half of March to turn wetter.

Bunk. The world has solved lots of problems, without having solved all of them. The notion that if you can't solve one problem then you can't solve any problem is ludicrous.

Really hoping we can get some ridging here into the spring. Last thing I want is endless gunk on easterly winds. It just makes it miserable and doesn’t help the drought.

What is your total in the Battle Creek area so far? I am west of Grand Rapids and we are around 80" so far.

Got down to 4° here. Wasn’t expecting that.

Same here.
