On the southeast corner of that red light where 33 and Emory cross there’s a CVS across the street from HMS. I live right behind the CVS. .

-EPO (+TNH) was a byproduct of high solar and exceptionally strong easterly QBO....like this year. The fact that it was a modoki El Niño helps, yes.

How did it look for the SWFE?

I'm actually really glad there was really no way for me to measure so while I'm disappointed because I don't know what I got, I am sheltered because I don't know how much less than expected. Although it really sucks because I probably won't be able to get to 100" now.

I am In to the End! Keeping hope alive!!!

I had this conversation with myself this morning. B- A+ on snow pack retention A- on cold (though becoming less of a fan as I age) C for snow Weight it 60/30/10 (snow, pack, cold) and it’s a B-.

Take a look at weak El Niños versus stronger back throughout history.......2014, 2004, 1977, 1976, 1968...all weak and NE winters. 2015, 2009, 2002, 1986, 1982, 1957...those stronger ones get the mid Atlantic.

above average snowfall each month dec-Jan-Feb has only happened in like one or two other winters other than this one, we were just talking about that last week.

Time to shovel out my car

You are 100% WRONG....weak El Niño is best in SNE because the STJ is less pronounced....that is the reason I nailed that winter in my first outlook. I looked at ENSO as said with would be a SNE winter.

Hillary Andrews just deleted her account

I am at 11 inches. Not great, but way better than it's been. Plus, I made it to zero. Still time for one more hurrah.

I had a similar thought about cold chasing moisture, especially east of the Apps and double especially east of the taller Apps down in my neck of the woods. Every model run in history overestimates how fast the cold gets over the mountains and frequently hallucinates phantom snow as a result. Since the AIs are trained on historical data one would think that this bias should go poof on an AI model.

Finally made it to the bottom of the thread. First, I want to reiterate that people clear the vents on the sides of their houses!!!! Our daughter goes to URI and lives in Matunuck. This is a photo of her car at 2:30 on Monday. She is guessing 30ish inches. We tried to convince her to 'evacuate' to Stowe on Sunday morning but she was worried about missing classes. Some random other thoughts: We are so lucky this storm was snow and not rain. Regarding the plows getting pulled off the streets: I saw a video of a stuck municipal plow spinning their tires and thought "They must be waiting for Amazon to deliver their tire chains." For the people who are annoyed about being 'missed' by the huge snowfall amounts: We are 6 miles from Stowe Mountain. I love when the mountain gets 10 inches overnight and we have maybe an inch in the driveway. Go help the people who are buried dig out. For the record, Stowe Vermont also received 0.0 inches from the storm "Snow without skiing is dumb."

14-15 was hardly a nino and didn’t really fit the traditional standards of one (if it did then DCA would have had a far better season than BOS). the reason it was less of an analog IMO was because it had a warm pool spanning into Nino 4 and Nino 3.4 which really helps with late winter -epo development. just how i look at it, people can disagree here.

Are you in a sheltered area by any chance? You said 22-28 inches depending on drifting and accounting for compaction and being in a sheltered area could also affect this. I'm not sure how big N Prov is....maybe it was a very sharp cutoff? Even downtown PVD had some 36" readings which is even more than what I got.

Its a long shot and models still meh for the most part.. but Saturday has some potential I think. Euro also bumped north but has the storm forming off the Carolinas and heading out

I give this winter a solid "B" so far.....can't give it an "A" being at normal snowfall after getting boned on the '78 redux. Let's see what can. happen during the final stanza to move this up...

Good thing it was Cantore and not Bob Stokes

I have seen some debate if this was a Miller A or B or hybrid or what (which is not unusual). I'm beginning to wonder if how useful those categories really are, but I was under the impression that one of the hallmarks of a B was a Ohio Valley low that transfers, and I didn't think that there was one of those in this case. In your perception, what made this storm more "B-ish"?

And literally just like that the 12Z GFS shifted south into a weenie level end of season snow

It's no more than a "A" winter in my book. The drought of snow from Jan 23/25th to Feb 23/25th (Peak winter) with all that cold in place is why it will never be a A+. That is like your All Star batter belting .340 during the season then batting .250 during the playoffs. (Peak time) Sorry winter "A+" is for the elite...not failing at peak times. 28F @ 1:05PM/ Winds cranking a bit, colder than expected and thank God the Liquor store is open...
