Festive Christmastime spinnys

I use the Stratus rain guage with a 1/4" thick piece of cedar siding which I slide under as I take a core. Melt and pour into inner guage

It will be 53 here

To me (not NWS) a trace is white on the grass. In the air is just a tease.

Wouldn't be surprised if we continue to see on and off fantasy runs for around this period...

I was out there for work back then, no way that's accurate.

What do you guys use to measure snow ratios? Just a rain gauge and melt and calculate?

If the NAO is as strong as predicted, it would favor southern areas. The boxing day blizzard also hit NC hard.

I don't eat crap like that anymore.

Looks like 58-59 degrees too. If only that map could actually verify . There’d be a ton of happy folks

Based on the ridiculous amount of time I’ve spent in my life looking at snowstorm totals and maps, I think the sweet spot was in the 130-140 range in a narrow corridor from Blue Hill to just south of you a few miles inland. Hard to empirically support 150”…not impossible but unlikely.

Fun and wacky things can happen with major blocks. Note that in those GFS charts @CAPEposted, the PAC side still isn’t great but it’s not total trash. Trough only extends down to Seattle or so and has a tilt toward the SW offshore. Allows a little ridging at a good longitude for us. So you can couple a C- Pac side with an A+ Atlantic side and that absolutely can work.

Better gas up the generator.

Trends last night and this morning are positive! Let's keep it rolling!

Good trends on ensembles. We may have something trackable here, which is sooner than I thought. Hopefully it is that kind of winter this year.

I’m the melted on contact guy and I’m man enough to apologize. I had always considered a trace measurable but happily proven wrong. I’ve had token flakes a few times and I hope you didn’t perceive my initial comment as an attack on you. I’m admittedly not a fan of Webb and let my bias pour through.

Even better lol

Yes. Late developing Miller B’s (which very strongly favor New England) with that look? Sure. Juiced Miller A KU’s coming up out of the Gulf and burying the I-95 corridor BAL-DC-PHL-NYC, which is what BAMWX was insinuating? No way

The 2” left OTG here will go quicker than Ray’s plate of cheesy fries at Funky Murphy’s

Think Norwell was the sweet spot but probably not 150”. Only storm where I might have undermeasured was that 3 day event in Feb.

Yeah a couple of their totals looked a little suspect but it doesn’t matter in the larger scheme. They got destroyed and were ground zero from there to the south shore.

Um Feb 1969

41F. Meltdown has commenced.

I still have an * at Blue Hill but whatever. It was a shit ton of snow.

Yep. And then straight up Kali Ma ripped my heart out with you, Dendrite, and Powderfreak cheering on the background with arms flailing in the air.
