As much as I love snow, I am now ready for spring. Seeing the models starting to transition to warmer days is nice to see. We will have to endure some backdoor cold fronts, and it may be more prevelant this spring than most.

Loving how fast the last storm is melting - hate when snow just sits and gets disgusting. Read for those advertised 60s

I know that the last storm was compared to 1978 but 78 had a wider footprint.

Don’t forget though before 2022, Jan 2015, Feb 2013, Jan 2011 all jacked to the west. But this area still Did well.

Yeah we need rains like what's being modeled for sure. Funny we're down 10 inches of precip since last summer, but still just classified as "abnormally dry" on the drought index lol.

Woflie, nothing personal at all, though...I know you are a very intelligent guy having met you. Just still exhausted, frustrated...and very confident that that isn't it.

Unfortunately its likely late month when we hit phase 8 and blocking returns due to the wind reversal to muck up spring.

Today (and this week really) is the 16th anniversary of the mega storm of Feb 23-28th. This storm is also referred to informally as the "Snowicane". It came in two parts the first alone was a massive snowstorm for the interior and the second part separated by about 12-18hrs was a huge storm for W SNE and the Tri-State with the most bizarre and anomalous snowfall gradient ever. These two systems were really just one giant storm, a massive cut-off bowling ball just parked over the Northeast for nearly a week. Because the NWS PNS separate this into two separate events i made two snowfall maps for each, it was just easier that way but the NESIS map combines the two. If you add both together you get basically an 1888 type redux for the interior with snowfall totals in the 45-55" range for the Berkshires and Catskills. I think Slide had a total of about 51" for the event and Savoy 55.3". Ill be fixing these and replotting them but haven't got around to it yet. Here's the radar and sfc/h5 maps: https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/feb-23-24-2010 https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/feb-25-27-2010 February 23-24th, 2010 February 25-27th, 2010 NESIS combined 5-day total

Would be a shame if we cant get CPK to 50.

Ehhh, below normal in mid to late March is not that bad. For my area I'd be shocked if we get below 30 again until end of the year.

True, goes to show you how terrible the prior 3 years were. Those were the exception, not this year. Though the back half of this winter is also exceptionally terrible. It is very possible that Chicago will end up below average again on snowfall.

Because the drifted snow was the driest fluffiest stuff, the speed with which those drifts have settled and melted, especially after the rain, is insane. I have a 4 foot wall across from my house that runs for most of the block along the sidewalk. It was enveloped by a 6 foot drift, you couldn't see it. There is maybe 2 feet there now. Late Feb means most of this snow is gone mid next week.

17 degrees but warming up with the sun out.

lots of drought conditions to go around so we need to lock in

Another 1.8" of precip. Much needed! Looking forward to the warm week ahead.

Just dumb luck......but I will say, your area to Brett to Steve is well situated for extreme events sticking right out into the ocean like that, but a bit off of the coast. Definitely a better situated for extreme events down there. Steve has some sneaky elevation, too...nice spot.

Worcester, Boston, Portland….just blew them away. To me that’s the most mind blowing aspect.

6z GFS at this model cycle offers our best hope for some snow early next week. It takes the first wave on Monday to our south, but it quickly brings in the second wave by Tuesday am. This second wave starts as snow & then changes over to a mix then rain.

The most unlikely places ever got crushed. PVD south into EWB. Raise your hand if you ever thought PVD would hold the record for any city in New England.

february should be at 22.1

bring on spring! (reverse psychology)

Yea, just going to go with an inch....no way there wasn't some melting and I came home to 1/2" on the pavement.

I am at 64.8", NW side of Southbury

Trust me on this....it didn't "rip" for 3 hours lol....after the initial burst it was basically light to very light snow...

The euro is struggling badly right now
