Just caught up with this thread. In a nutshell.... lol

Agreed. Used to joke that this was just another old fart like most of us, but this gent has taken more notes over the years than most of us combined.

Can’t stop won’t stop

Latest SREF, Coating for most, inch for some

Gonna be huge gypsy moth outbreak this spring many places

Right now the Friday clipper has the best shot at a region wide impact. Crazy by then it will have been almost two weeks since our big storm and its been mainly dry since. The lakes freezing over has limited any benefit of the NW flow outside of a few dustings. Not high on the mid week thing, looks like more of an I70 south thing. Ill be curious to see how things look after next weekend. Some hints we might finally warm up closer to average at least temporarily.

Someone is going to whine about your negative post.

100% friend! I have the winter at a solid B/B+ right now. Only factor not placing this winter into the "A" category is I am at avg snowfall for the season. We've had the cold, we've had the snow cover, we've had the very brief "thaw".....get me above avg snowfall and this winter becomes "A" class.

This looks epic. The hits keep hitting. Damn.

Below is the January 2026 Climate Summary for the Philly burbs of Chester County PA Area. This January finished as the 29th coldest with 134 years of climate records. This December/January is the 21st coldest start to a winter season on record. Additionally, we have received well above normal snowfall to date with almost double normal snow to date. East Nantmeal recorded the 15th greatest January snow total and the most since 2016.

I measured a couple days ago and I had about 10” in my backyard but over time the sun does get to it a little each day and sublimation. I’m curious about the snow depth in E MA that had 20”+. The last 3-5” was pure fluff.

Y’all know how this place works. If we don’t have a HECS to track every week, winter gets labeled a snooze fest

It...might snow tonight.

A steining to remember for Dendy.

Back-to-back 200+ inch seasons in NWMI while dealing with a major illness did the same to me. Took a couple milder winters to recover, lol. I'm older now so beginning to lean heavily towards go big or go home winters. Endless cold, slop, and sub 8" snows the past two winters are not helping matters.

Most models have some light accumulating snowfall late 2/3 and 2/4 for the region...

Here's a surprise. Map is way off here. I also feel like Holston got more than 1/10th of an inch as well.

Juicing up LFG

No soup for you!

As much shit we give you drought guy, you've been pretty good identifying big threats this year in advance. Props where they are earned, I agree the next big qpf event will be in that period on the rebound.

I also don’t get the impatience, this winters been great. Most of 95 east is at or above average for the entire season. Relentless cold. If we get a clipper or two these next two weeks then another high qpf system on the rebound this year is a bonafide blockbuster year for most…

As Carvers has mentioned, LC has had about as good a grasp on this winter’s pattern than anyone and I don’t really see a flaw with his thinking the rest of the way. I think we transition back to winter around Valentines Day or shortly after. It seems like V-Day has brought storms or rumors of storms the past few years. All in all, I do think we’ll have at least one more winter storm to track before we break for spring. I’ve always given it until March 15th. After that, I’m ready for spring and warmth.

Oh dear

Pattern change 6-12" 2/14-17 time period
