Yup. I'm going to go from salty windshields to buggy windshields.

20" of snow from Monday is down to about 3-4" on the sunny side of the street by Friday morning. Sun angle. I guess that's why meteorological spring begins this coming Sunday...

It's very situational, we had got down to grass across all slopes and sunny spots, so there is no bullet proof anything under those parts. On the other hand, the shady spots still did have, it was definitely higher moisture when the snow started, and the compacted shoveled piles are rock solid. There's also already grass in places, where they were scoured out by drifting. A huge part of the median next to the beach this morning is grass. I think it'll be winter on one side of the street and spring on the other by tuesday, anyway, bar the ploughed spots, but we will see. I find it substantially more interesting watching it stack in 26 hours than to melt over the course of a week.

Thats what I remember about the storm I don't remember and issues at my place from the storm. Maybe we had a half inch or so from it. the further east/ northeast (and the increase in elevation) there was more snow. And we were traveling to Gratz so my grandfather could purchase a wringer washer. And I still have that wringer washer. But hasn't been used in decades. And if i'm right that was the last year of they made them.

Was that also the 32.1° wet bulb storm for many well inland, resulting in heavy rain. Could be mixing it up, but I remember there being a benchmark storm around then that left a lot to be desired

This has gotten smeared a bit. For me, the warm up wasn't really until the 10th all along. The hemispheric move toward that destiny takes some work. Begins spanning the first week. These overrunning looks are really just systemic consequence in transitioning from a winter troposphere to a warmer one. That's bound to be noisy/error prone in guidance as to what happens and when. But one thing we are seeing is that the warmth likely wins by the 10th, amplitude of which to be determined. How long it lasts out there is unclear but obviousness to the time of the year would perfunctory argue that it regresses at some point before Apr 1. The indexes are 50/50 at this time... 2010 and 2012s can happen, but we probably need another 50 years of CC before those become more common haha

I was at my childhood home in Old Bridge, NJ during that event. I can still remember looking out the window from my bedroom watching the heavy snow fall. From my recollection, we had about 10" but that is fuzzy. Three favorite storms of all time....April, 1982, Blizzard of 1983 and Superstorm, 1993.

I’ve got to hand it to you that in your outlook you nailed Worcester’s snowfall even when I thought it was shocking by my southern standards. And that’s assuming it’s all over and there’s no more meaningful snow to come. It was a very good winter with deep snowpack from late January to early March (it won’t survive the blowtorch) with some snowpack for like 80% of DJF.

If I can stay below 60° tomorrow, this will be the first winter in a decade where I didn't hit 60 or better in DJF.

Yeah that’s a server side setting then that John controls.

It won't be that way ..c'mon. People are just angst/frustrating the inevitable ending of winter, just like every year, so their venting by overselling the downside and scapegoating spring as a means to vent. Ha. And yeah, folks are just having fun with whoa-ism hyperbole, too. Still, there'll be good stretches. It is true, the bad stretches can be, and probably will be, particularly bad at times - made torturous whenever the stuck Farmington front has 38 F in Lowell while it's 70 in NYC. But there'll be d-slope dandy days once in a while. There could also be one or two ridge anomaly patterns along the course.

Still doesn't work, i tried a bunch different sizes from 47 to 45 to 37 to 25mb none of them worked. I tried one from the Jan 25-26th storm that was 18mb and that went through fine. So theres some threshold maybe around 20mb that it doesn't like for some reason. It's all good, thanks for trying. Ill be putting it up on the site anyways, just wanted to post it here Here's the one that went through, 18.2mb

Every time someone posts the '78 "official" measurements, I will say it time and time again. One of THE most terribly measured, and inaccurate snow total maps ever... talking the Farmington Valley area specifically

Jan 2011 was okay where I am...like 20".

Anyway…lots to sort out next week and beyond…do we get some more winter? Do we get the 60’s and 70’s? Or do we stay on the wrong side?

Phase 8 going into April.

2011 was incredible here too…I believe this area had the deepest pack in New England at the end of Jan/beginning of Feb. it was astounding…roofs caving in literally everywhere. Pack had big meat in it too.

Squish squish squish for a long time-wet ground will take awhile to dry out unless we have a mega torch with no rain/snow

I definitely love any one getting big snows and yes I have been in Rays position many many times. Shit in 05 I had 14 just east 2 to 3 feet. In 07/08 I had less than half season total than Woodstock 10 miles north and everyone north of that. Won't complain as I am all about Karma. Just look at Touch Tiger

Only 6? Sign me up.

Too far off at this point anyway…but who knows.

Cold night froze the pack solid. Crunchy feel to it underfoot. Tomorrow’s warm up will put a dent, but we are weeks away from having usable fields in my opinion.

78 was a 2 footer here…unfortunately this one fell short for my area with only 13-15” here. Feb ‘13 was the one that dethroned 1978 for my area. I’ll probably never see 6”/hr again ever. But at least I did that night. Amazing. So I know what providence and surrounding areas there saw. Now that’s Hoth.
