Will the euro squash our hopes? .

It got old.

I am ready to call it a winter. I'll grade it a B. It was winter, temps wise. I don't believe we torched once after Thanksgiving and I'll consider next week's blow torching the announcement of Spring. Had some pretty significant cold. Temps get an A. Precip gets a C. Being in the valley, I believe we have fallen short of everybody around, mostly due to a very, very dry December and early January. Really, really want a strong severe thunderstorm season and none of this "40 and rain" until June nonsense.

decent early season lake enhanced event and suspect still at or above average imby but winter not technically over and we're gonna finish lower unless we get a big dog which looks increasingly unlikely

Nah. There's just a lot of unrealistic expectations on this board for where people live. lol

I am not sure when or why they decided to change the methodology but it really skews the rankings. I was surprised the 1/5-6/25 storm did not make the rankings considering it was a more impactful and wide reaching storm in the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic than both early 2022 storms which snuck in as a Category-1. Or if those December 2022 storms could make it, why not 1/7/24 which brought a swath of 12"+ to the interior Northeast? Or 3/13/23? Anyway, the late January storm absolutely should make the rankings considering all of DC-BOS received over 6" of snow, and of course impacts spread well beyond that. My guess for that would be upper Category-3 or low end Category-4. For this blizzard, my guess is Category-3 in Boxing Day range.

They live among us. Thats all I have to say. Congrats on the blockbuster storm to all who received. I measured 28 to 30 here in north scituate MA. There was a spotter report of 32. The compaction was real with this one. I bet we lost 3 or 4 inches of depth within 10 to 15 hours. If you were taking measurements regularly I can easily see how you would get higher totals than what was on the ground the following day. Thats how measuring works. Compaction is not some new phenomenon. That youtube video was a joke...in more ways than one.

It’ll accumulate if you have the rates…you know that.

AIFS setting up spring fever followed by the bottom dropping out as the Canadian cold sink empties in mid March.

Yeah. Some solutions a couple days ago pushed more energy eastward with this wave so it had more support but now it seems like a lot just barely eject anything. Oh well.

I actually suspect that by that time of the year youve got to get some wild fluctuations to get the moisture and cold air for big snow. Like a steadily cold pattern just isnt going to do it in January. You need some big waves that come with pretty warm air ahead of the storm and then pulling down unseasonably cold air behind it. Maybe not so much now - its probably still early enough that just a kind of unseasonably cold pattern would work.

I know…we’re a tough bunch to deal with. First to admit it.

i can easily pull that stats and post them

lol

Preach.

The weather channel yesterday was showing just how warm the entire winter has been in Denver....the entire winter has pretty much been like it would be in March and April...not just a co I ole days here and there

February probably biased us a bit but in SW burbs we missed out on a couple lake enhanced snows. With the upcoming miss in mind, I may downgrade to a C+. If we don’t hit our seasonal average, I’ll knock off the +.

WxBell really needs to fix its algorithm: Almost certainly, Central Park will not be going into the single digits this coming March. Mid- to upper teens will likely be the limit. Central Park's all-time record low temperature for March is 3° from March 5, 1872. Its latest-season -3° or below temperature occurred on February 17, 1896 and the temperature has not fallen to -3° or below since February 15, 1943 (-8°).

Corey Sorry you got boned but the measurements are legit. The snow was not wet as I said many many pages ago. It was more dense. You must have been just north and west of that main band by mere miles. I was getting 3-4”/hr from like 4am-midday.

Not understanding the copium about this winter. It sucked. Quantitatively sure it will still be near average. But taking it all in this Winter was terrible from a snow enthusiast perspective. Most snow came early, frequent CAD, and not many opportunities for meaningful storms. Cherry on top too was the South getting impactful snow again and the Northeast getting hit hard late season. Seasonal and long range forecasts all indicate some warm air moving in and after that sure there's opportunities for cool weather, but too little too late and that opportunity will likely disappear at shorter range. C- winter.

Smarch is back on the menu

I got mail today. But I'd say that only about 25% of the mailboxes I have seen are cleared and accessible

This winter's been just morally repulsively enabling to CC deniers in this region of the world. HAHA

One of the few situations where MHT might be the envy of New England. Up to 37. Lots of dripping but mostly sun related as the dp is still in the teens. Kind of a perfect day to get outside. Not too wet from melting but the sun feels great.

as cold as it’s been here , the Midwest will now have their third extended torch of the winter. Guidance showing a +20 10 day stretch for Midwest and Great Lakes
