So, with the lag, the -NAO/-AO should start around the Equinox (3/20)?

Pushing 3” in Port Jeff Station. Like a winter wonderland out there. .

I'd love for us to get lucky with this chance, then have a March at like 10F above normal.

As you can see in the final snow totals in '78, the Providence area (Especially northern half) to Boston area and North Shore due to storms intensity and positioning (Track) is primarily the reason. The Blizzard of 2026 was actually more intense central pressure wise but about 70-75 miles further south than where '78 was not to mention the capture in '78 was off the coast of New Jersey not North Carolina like '26 was. Big difference in where it was captured and track inside the Benchmark. Temperatures back then was actually colder in the morning (Upper teens to Mid 20's) then rose to the upper 20's to low 30's (well inland around Worcester area low to mid 20's) with the exception of the far Southshore Cape and Islands where temps hit the mid to even upper 30's for a relatively short time as the storm made its closest pass. Storm track is crucial in storms like this one and of course in '78.

thanks for reminding me. I ONLY had 109" in 2015. Porked to the north and south!

Happy beating climo snowfall today for those that celebrate. So while the Monday threat looks shaky at best, not a bad place be sitting. Either way - likely to add on before the end of the season.

Seriously is.

That was part of it, but most of the snow in these tends to fall within a 18-20 hour period....the stall prob adds another half foot or something like that. Someone very lucky gets more in the stall, but usually the precip starts to get pretty banded after a time when it stalls. If you push that arc of convective snows well inland, you're gonna get crazy widespread totals....think April '97 with maybe a bit less total QPF (we wouldn't have gotten quite the juicy WCB like that one had....which fell in a lot of areas as rain) and colder of course so the net result is basically '97 with the 30"+ stuff over a larger area. But who knows for sure since we didn't see it. I agree that the current jackpot area would've gotten less if it tracked 50 miles NW, but my guess is still easily 20-30"+.

That low level stuff has indeed persisted and we should finish at 2"

1.7” final Snow depth back up over 18”

This is in some ways the most enjoyable snowfall this winter. The back edge looks close but it's still snowing moderately here. Good to the last drop.

Ineedsnow give us a signal if torch tiger is holding you hostage

The blizzard was the only time this winter that the GFS did so well. It’s really hard to say why this was the case. But now we are probably back to the regularly scheduled programming of the AIFS or EPS AIFS doing better. It could just be the broken clock analogy with the GFS but we may never know for sure.

Yeah but regardless of temperature, 1978 stalled which was the main reason why there were those high totals over a large area. If this one tracked further inland wouldn't it have been another Feb 2013 where CT gets those totals instead of SEMA/RI?

Still have to watch late March for a final stand

Starting to see a bit of enhancement, Radar back building over to the west in NH here which was modeled quite well, Should end up around 3" or so, My call was 2-4".

So I get hit with a blizzard with 20-40" storm totals, and then the NE gets hit with the same. Ma Nature n Old Man Winter hookin up on a waterbed

2.25” new in wading river. Pretty epic scenery outside for our area. Glad we can still do it.

It's a huge weakness of the NAM where it can often struggle at initializing precipitation

We are going to roast for a while it seems.

Funny seeing people comment on weather forecasters/enthusiasts facebook statuses about Monday/Tuesday. Can tell people have been sharing the GFS snow maps lol

It was the complete outlier for this past blizzard until a few days before. All hail the GFS!

Still snowing heavily in north suffolk. Gotta be about 3 inches out there of New snow.

I didn't really complain in 2015, when I had 115.5" and the south shore had like 135".
