That has to be some sort of record! I think we all know the late season sun angles are brutal on snowpack, but I feel like they’re more brutal this year! If we could all choose a date to have a major winter storm, it would probably be December 21. [emoji3]

I’m always like damn, that’s nuts. But then they think the same when SLK and HIE are 32F in August.

Was 80F in Dallas today.

So sue me!

That’s a bummer, been there. It could be worse though, just read Tim Kelly’s update. There will be a touch of fresh and you can wait to get out a little later in the day and let things soften up. Could be pretty fun, but not the epic powder days they are known for, I get that disappointment for sure.

I have a hard time envisioning the physics that link a SSW to a subsequent el nino (or la nina). I imagine the top-down effects would be confined mainly to the polar domain or mid latitudes, but not tropics. Conversely, enso is driven mainly by tropical ocean-atmosphere (KWs and WWBs mostly) and then those forcing effects propagate to mid- and polar-latitudes via rossby waves, and then bottom-up into the stratosphere. But the other way around? I dunno.

Probably cause it's nothing worth posting

Not seeing any hint of that on guidance. Not sure gut feelings mean a whole hell of a lot.

Yeah, NESIS sucks. I have measured more and less in every snowstorm in VA. They probably go through Wakefield and they have been way low lately.

You missed the historical snow band loser!

Got a nice bike ride in along the lakefront after work, so nice

It's in old weather Coop Data but seems to not be there anymore for some reason. Don't know why it was taken off or discontinued. I took and overlapped of the '78 storm with '26 and even though areas in a relatively narrow band got 30"+ from this to the southeast, it appears that '78 still has a deeper and larger swath over a greater area.

I think honest to jah I'm on the Alek train of just wanting interesting weather and then maybe tack on a white Christmas being mandatory for an A winter even if it's unreasonable

This year blows 03 away

Oh wow do you have the link for that measurement by any chance? The map that I saw only had a 20" over Seekonk so that's surprising to me. But even with 27" in 1978, this one still had more. I measured 31" IMBY in a very flat spot on my sidewalk with no drifting so I'd say that it's pretty accurate.

Yeah they said they was changing it i think in Jan but they didnt show the intensity levels,thanks for posting this

Oh absolutely. SEMA in particular. I mean, technically I'm in SEMA but I'm right on the RI border so in general I have RI's climo more than SEMA which has more ocean influence and therefore more severe coastals than most of RI.

I'm at 11" here. Only 3 of the last 20 winters I've been in WV have had less snow than that in an entire season. I'm with you on the heating bills, but I still love the cold.

It tracked good 40 to nearly 50 miles south of the Benchmark. it appears to be what the widespread consensus appears to be right now.

OH yeah..ha right. 6 times then. Forgot about 2015.. although I thought that 2 foot but meh close enough Definitely an uptick in the frequency of big dawgs compared those previous decades though. man

Same here. We’ve been stuck between 48-50 all day Picked up an additional 0.07” since yesterday with light drizzle continuing

warm ground and daytime=white rain

Roger that, but a robust snowpack will greatly help up my way, as the snow melts into the ground slower with less runoff, unless hvy rns hit. A better help for the abnormally dry conditions here, and wells don't go dry, or at least not too low. You end up with more sediments then.
