There’s a lot to dive into about that video of him driving around but some is best not said, especially when you don’t know where to start. Not sure what the point was… to validate your own disappointment or to say no one knows how to measure snow…

Thompson, CT?

The E Sandwich COOP is 21". Your total was also 21"? I might remove it. There was a crazy gradient there with far SE MA getting well into 30s. 37 in Bliss corner for example, 30.1 in Wareham. On barnstable it dropped off but there was a report of 28" in N Falmouth, however the 21 in E Sandwich does make more sense than 31. Just so tough with these with wind, drifting, measuring etc. I can pull it...

Correct...when you are ripping 4" per hour, you are gonna have to some fluff factor even if there are winds. Sometimes the extreme rates can stabilize the winds a little in the heart of the banding....the snow itself acts a drag on it....which also helps ratios.

I'm sensing the non-zero probability that the blizzard was the last storm we'll see. Low probability for now, but the thought popped in there when saw that this impending pattern change that others are attempting to psycho-babble erode the significance of..., appears to be surging in a little earlier than the 10th - which was the previous index suggestion. Still not totally sold on the timing aspects. Amid yesterday's runs this earlier notion started happening, and it probably led to those couple of GFS idea for an icing event along the BUF-BOS transit... Early warm push deals with lingering cold, etc. However, the 6z is gone, and the wave producing that has been re-positioned N-W ... It's all an homage to what and where the hemisphere wants to do and go. May have to wait out a warm burst and see if there's a later month blue-bonnet spring special. Otherwise, these indexes and operational tenors, et al, are signaling the end. Note, I'm not discussing the magnitude of the warm up... It's a recognition of the pattern foot and realism for March being a transition month with hot sun (hello). Which is unfortunately for the winter fans gathering around old man's winter bed, bad pattern health timing.

he made a youtube video, as we thought...F storm everythings too high by 10-20"

PVD depth is 31” this morning…so they’ve lost 11” since near the end of the peak of the storm.

Those rates were large enough that there was a period where they were racking up high ratio snows. Compaction is real especially with big totals like that. I think it’s a little insulting to assume everyone in that 30”+ zone doesn’t know how to measure new snowfall…especially paid, trained observers at PVD.

with the snowcover and ice on waterways and oceans cold I doubt anyone NYC north and east sees 70's

Thanks working on an update now, somehow i feel it wont be the last lol

Today will be our 41st consecutive day with snow cover. This is now the 9th longest stretch and 12th overall streak since 1894. We could see some flurries late today across more southern areas. High temperatures today are a few degrees below normal around 40 degrees but a nice warm up on the way both Friday and especially Saturday with highs in the mid 50's. A strong cold front slides through on Saturday night and we will turn sharply colder by Sunday with highs back down into the 30's. Snow chances look to increase early next week but timing and amounts way too early to nail down.

Definitely over done. Look at the Tug Hill and Adirondacks. They definitely aren't getting into the 60's and 70's. It hardly gets the warm there in July lol

Looks pretty bleak right now....though the 06z Euro did hit us on Mar 3-4 with a solid advisory/low end warning type event. But we need a lot more agreement on that.

27⁰ ice palace not exactly my kind of spring

Can't remember the last time our winter obs thread reached 100 pages. Anyway... A significant warm up followed by more below freezing temps later in March would be bad for the trees. Junk & stuff would start to bloom only to be damaged by a return to winter-like temps. I'd rather do a slow and steady warm up as March progresses, but we know that's not how things work around here.

No winter related Will posts in March for several consecutive days. I know that really weakens his ACATT resolve.

I'll never ever like dews unless there's a big rare severe threat

Well, You have to hand it to @TheSnowman, he talked the talk and walked the walk and did his post blizzard tour. It is interesting that not one 30" measurement, or even 24" measurement is seen, 12 and 24 hours later. No one thinks there's some crazy conspiracy theory, but measuring through old crusty snow or in drifts may have happened at some of the locations. Side note, It must be nice to have that kind of time to take those snow measuring tours. He's lucky this storm didn't happen on Grammy Award weekend.

My family bought two couches from Jordans..... AI says the chances are between 2-6%

its never as warm as they predict; though 1998 was ridiculously warm, and windy...it will be less than ideal; mud season begins in days....

You’re getting older . Dews are your friend. You’ll see

for two more days. met spring is sunday right?

If there was no pack now I’d be all gypsy moth all the time . With feet OTG and a few more events coming over the next week or so , I’m not there yet . But yes, the loins are tingly

Looks a bit overdone IMO... upper 70s seems a bit of a reach the way this winter has gone re temperatures in the LR. But I will take 60s
