I'd say about 6" here in Nottingham. It was a nice little blitz fort sure!

so in trying to analayze the behavior of the -PNAP response to the -PNA... it appears the GFS and in fact the GEFs system on whole is assessing a quicker -PNAP response, overall. The slightly slower Euro systemic in moving the conus into the -PNAP response, constructs critically curvature in the W. That subtle lag is tipping/conducting the N stream to dump small S/W space crucially SE through roughly MN. That's the whole ball game... this really subtle variance allows some kind of delicate phasing opportunity in the Euro system.

This November 2012 example of a system that started with barely cold marginal airmass in place and it was silll Fall ! All of this snow was created by dynamic cooling. This weekend system has the potential of creating a similar dynamic cooling event and this will be in a more favorable mid- February environment with cold water temps also. Snow storm, November 7-8, 2012 - Storm Summary

Mammatus cloud sunset. Rare but they happen in the dmv once in a while. Mammatus clouds behind a gnarly thunderstorm are wild but toss a sunset color pallet into it and it's other worldly. Not my pic but what a show here...

Skiing on a ruptured ACL(!) and it didn't even look like she had a decent brace on, which is unfathomable, unless it's against Olympic regulations?

Part of the backyard within 10-12 feet of the home receives no sunlight so it is a protected spot...has its own microclimate lol

Depends where you are in the forum-long Island the city and the jersey coast are way different than your area. I'm somewhere in the middle. Always said 3/10 or so was the end around here with the exception of March 2018 type patterns.

Man oh man, I wish you were my teacher in grade/high school. Even the slightly above average students would receive an A which they didn’t earn… 36f

Very surprising over-performer here. 9" at the stake brings the snow depth up to 23". Accumulated last night at about 2" per hour for most of the duration. Heaviest snow rate I've seen this year. Northwood NH

Places like Islip are right at their long term average snowfall since 1963-1964. This is a big win in my book. It has been very challenging to get near or above average seasonal snowfall since 2018-2019.

most of the 1.75" has already been taken care of by solar ..love that

So would PDI and PDII.

43 here quickly with sun about to give way to clouds for a bit

March 2018 would like a word. The problem with this is we’re relying on a very fragile setup that could easily fall apart at this lead time and cold air is lacking. We need a dynamic system to create the cold air essentially and a favorable track.

Index method says pump breaks, but we'll see. Anomalies relative to indexes can happen. It's rarer but, if the relay off the Pacific is more powerful ... that can offsets the plummeting PNA. That's about the only way; because otherwise the falling PNA means rising anti-cyclonic forcing. So if your trying to mechanize a cyclone in the midst of raising anti-cyclonic means... that both intuitively, and geo-physically/mathematically is going to introduce some challenges. The GEFs/GFS is physically subsuming the ejected wave space with an overwhelming -d(PNA) - in keeping with the above concept. The EPS/Euro, does less of that ... It's also quite a bit stronger/more coherent looking with the relay off the Pacific down near the upper Baja. It's almost like threading the needle at a pattern scale, not at the wave space... The integration of the ejected wave space with the surrounding medium is very decimal determined - so to speak. If the surrounding -d(PNA) is overly applied in the GFS even fractionally, that in step is giving something more to the eject wave space and its coherency then means a different fate ..etc. If it is however more correct, the Euro's full of shit. Brian's also right about those idiosyncratic feature handling; they'll play a role. But suspect getting the above ironed out is just as if not more important - more damping (GFS) and it's a moot. Predicated on the idea that the Euro's more right...that's when all those other headaches kick in

Where does rain go when the ground is over 2 feet thick frozen.... hmm idk no where..... unless your talking about reservoir related...

When the GFS is on its own, it’s wrong more often than not.

20% chance…well, I’m all in then.

I think Dendite mentioned this earlier. 6z Euro has that northern stream vortex basically slide due east through central Quebec, whereas 0z had it about 500 miles further SE diving through Eastern Maine. That was a huge difference, though a lot of the models are all over the place with that feature.

That's why I said 20% we get something. 50% it still misses completely but its not a situation where being on the northern edge means we get snow

Sun went back into hiding but it did its job. Up to 38° now

robins have been 12 month residents here for so long now

Euro Sky net (Left) Matches EPS (Right) pretty well. Def tighter clustering on Skynet and more spread on EPS.

Jesus Christ some people are unbearable lately on here. I get that many are sick of winter but wishing it away isn’t going to work. Why, suddenly, are so many people saying winters end in mid February in our region? That is statistically and categorically false. On a probability standpoint we just past the most snowy portion of winter. It doesn’t completely drop off. Growing up St. Patty’s day really felt like the end of winter with ski areas turning more to slush and yards melting. I’d be very very shocked if we put up a goose egg the rest of winter.

Pretty funny how yesterday afternoon many models had this tracking well south, now it is obviously an interior threat.
