Checks out. lol

18” was the Final here. 53” on the season.

ORD had a low temp of 47° on February 18th, which broke the record high min temp for the date of 45° (1981).

Chicago/O'Hare had a low temperature of 47° on February 18th, which broke the record high minimum temperature for the date of 45° (1981).

This was 0z gfs on Tuesday. Insane how it kept the same solution or tweaked it .

Absolutely agree. We've seen the ways a niño can fail. But obviously, no other enso state is gonna work for a MECS or HECS anymore so it's all we got, lol

Actually, I was about to ask when we are starting a thread for Thursday. I kid.

Just let Rhode Island have this one.

The last time I was in a 20”+ snowstorm at my house was probably PDII 2003. Boxing Day 2010 was close, may have been 20” in Long Beach but I think the local observer had 18”. Where I live now generally does well in the winter and gets the higher end but never jackpots in a big storm.

Upside down yard stick FTL

Just talked with the guy who plows our street. He’s 46 and he said he’s never seen anything like this. Cars stuck on roads, highways, off ramps, etc. he has accounts in West Bridgewater down to Middleboro and he said there is no doubt those areas saw 40”

Checking in to report that the house in Charlotte, VT received 0.0” of snow from the storm. Just in case anyone was wondering.

Yeah. The one poster Snowmiser works in some aspect as a Meteorologist and I think is somewhere in Coraopolis. Anytime there's threats for our area he tends to post about them. Majority of content of course is Northeast but there's good discussion that happens there.

I never said it was a given. I'm just saying we need to get one next year or else we will be waiting for awhile longer. @EastCoast NPZ Yes I'm aware. But I'm hoping an easing of the PDO and Chill's theory of blocking episodes coming around after a long hiatus has some merit. And again, nothing is guaranteed. But no matter what, a strong enough Niño still gives us our best chance of all the enso states, so we root for it. @CAPE Psu said something a few weeks ago about early indications of east based, but I don't know where he saw that.

That 22.5" in Meriden is getting tossed far and wide

We will get one. No doubt

Is it just me or does he sound excited and exhausted at the same time.

Dusted with 0.2" at ORD on Saturday evening... …2025/26 Season Snowfall... 32.3" - ORD 24.0" - RFD

That's a pretty good list for 10 years!

I also measured 6" in Easthampton

I think I used to have an account over there. Lots of Northeast chatter, but they post good maps and have good discussions. .

One last note, these big big snow storms are such an event. There were lots of people out walking around town, just taking it in. Every snow shoveler you pass will stop and chat, if only to take a break. I see people helping each other out. I see community. It's frighteningly rare.

While an el nino makes miller a coastal storms that drop copious amounts of qpf over us more likely due to a more active STJ, it is no guarantee we get a MECS+. It could just be rain, like 97-98. We could get nothing, like 72-73. Or we might just get a couple of NS systems and the rest is torch, like 23-24. It does increase our chances, but we need cold air, blocking, and polar jet and all the ingredients. Active STJ is only one of many ingredients.

If you didn't see it before, I will post is again. RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BOSTON/NORTON, MA 700 PM EST MON FEB 23 2026 ...RECORD SNOWSTORM FOR PROVIDENCE RI...
