I wipe the boards once every 24 hours. For me it's consistently at midnight so it happened that I cleared the boards about mid-way through the storm and added 9" + 8" to total 17". If the same snowfall distribution had occured in a calendar day instead of crossing midnight, I would have had about 14.5". I am not particularly comfortable with such random differences.

Webb seems to be really hyping the strength. I suspect he would be gleeful with a strong east-based episode.

Does Albany count? 47” in 1888.

We just missed a HECS a month ago. Our best winter ever (out here) was a Nina. A Nino is not the only path. Although pretty much every path leads to failure here.

One inch for every snowman, how poetic.

Yeah. If the PDO doesn’t take its annual nosedive this summer, we may have a shot at more +pna now that coastal storm tracks seem to be coming back, and we may also get more blocking up top. Couple that with storms (both tropical and midlatitude) getting more intense with more moisture than in the past, we may have an above normal shot at a MECS if the nino doesn’t go ape. I don’t think it will because the WWBs have been struggling and the SOI is still positive, and subsurface is only mildly AN. If this was gonna be a super, we’d already be seeing +6 subsurface with a negative SOI by now.

Long Beach by the photos got 20” easy today and had heavy echos lingering around there for hours. Unfortunately the sound enhancement favored just the south shore today like Jan 2022.

My wife's dog statue got a cone head.

I want to start by tanking you , The past two nights wouldn't have been so wonderful without you. You were the reason why I was able to feel such glee and stay warm in these coold ,soaking, wet snows .You are my inspiration, protector, and motivator . Sometimes it almost feel as if we are one. I so often find myself plagued with sorrowing thought of when we'll be able to feel as one again. I remember when I first saw you in the corner, I knew that I had to make you mine, and I believe you felt the same way. The passion we feel when we're together leaves no doubt that I will never let you go and I will always be there when I need you. No one will ever tear your rugged cadora and sympatex embrace from my arms. You are absolutely the best blaze orange snow suit a man could have, and i've never loved anything, or anyone the way I love you.

6 hr clearing 27 no clearing 29/30

I liked the picture of the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" with "GFS" photoshopped over "USA" on the jerseys of the celebrating American players. That's what that storm seemed like to me, GFS got its once a decade upset over the Euro haha And yeah we also had on and off snow flurries for almost 24 hours, which is kind of crazy. Obviously no accumulation besides a trace on some of the roofs, but it was a nice surprise

I would imagine that, so long as we don't get a Super Nino, the prospect of any Nino raises the floor of winter at least? At least in the event of a warm winter. At DCA for instance, 40F+ winter average and La Nina are a no-go combo, the last 5 such cases averaged 4.4" of snow. 40F+ El Ninos are a different story, 2 of the last 3 exceeded climo, with 23-24 being the odd one out, though its snow total is pretty comparable to this year's despite being 8 degrees warmer lol. Again that's all in hoping that a Super Nino doesn't come in and wreck everything, anything weaker and it seems like we at least won't get nothingburgered.

This! The only 20 inchers since I've been here (since 1995) are 1/1996 (22") and 2/2013 (27"). A bunch of near misses though, including today. Boxing day was 12" here, PDII was 19".

Oops! Somebody here responded to the wrong one then--because the most recent post before mine was made in here, lol

Confident that it's our best chance, yes. Confident it's definitely gonna happen? Nobody can be, lol But as I stated above...easing PDO, maybe more blocking, better chance? We shall see...

I saw 966mb

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.
