I don't eat crap like that anymore.

Looks like 58-59 degrees too.

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.

That 77” in Se ORH county looks way off. Which coop was that? I doubt Milford since Milford isn’t that bad of a coop. If it’s Northbridge, beware…I used to toss them regularly.

Yeah, way out in fantasyland! This reminds me of this Euro storm from last January I’m not as far out fantasyland: While this was gone on the very next run, this turned out to be when the historic 1/21-2/2025 Gulf coast/deep SE winter storm occurred.

If its 14-15 then it was 118.20 here.

Similar here.

Yeah that ridge needs to be further west by a decent amount for classic KU look…but that is an interesting look for New England. Kind of a late bloomer Miller B type look can come from that.

Scotter to Norwell probably had around 150".

Haven’t had time to check in here much but glad I tuned in for a J Spin data dump. I always love reaping the benefits of your record keeping. I don’t have numbers to back it up but I think there are a couple things factoring into the perception of this amazing start to our winter. First, this has been the best early winter in terms of valley snow retention that I can remember. Aside from some days around Thanksgiving we have had snow cover on the ground here in Fairfax since November 11. Consistent cold without the rain and melt outs (like the one we’re about to have) has preserved dry fluffy snow in my front yard for the better part of the last 6 weeks. That is remarkable at my location for November and early December. And it's also kept the ski slopes in phenomenal condition. Also, with so many small systems there have been a lot of days with snowflakes in the air even if it’s not always piling up. It just feels different when there’s flakes flying out your window and keeping the surface refreshed. J Spin do you keep data on snow depth days? Your retention is always better than here in the Champlain Valley but I’d be curious how this early season stacks up in that department.
