Storm total here from most recent storm: Snowfall for the event: 13.5". Was tricky to measure mid and late storm with the increasing wind and sleet mixed in at times. Changed to sleet here for no more than 30 minutes mid afternoon then went back to snow with just a few periods on intermittent sleet until it ended about 9:00 last night. I'd say 95% of the storm here was snow. Snow depth from current storm at 8 this morning was 12" even - total snow depth (includes snow on the ground prior to this event and some compaction of new snow pack) is 14". Drifts on the north side of house 20-24", even a bit higher in a few spots. Waiting on the cylinder to melt down so I can get a melted total and a ratio.

Here are the CIPS H5 analogs: I think it looks at the GFS's forecast and populates analogs from that. All CIPS has is the GFS as a base layer for comparison unfortunately.

Eagerly awaiting 12z GFS to see if it starts trending that way. Would be a biblical stretch of winter in the span of 10 days

Damn euro is crazy and ai has been rock solid last storm…. We’re 5/6 days away

Went to sleep, and not only was the 0z euro good, 6z was insane too. EPS on board. Oh boy. And here I thought I’d catch up on sleep this week.

That’s almost exactly where the GFS had this back on Thursday last week at 977 mb

2-4” is a good bet in eastern sections, regionally. More in east MA where I’d go 3-6” With -NAO and strong mid level vort never discount these little events. They surprise I’d get it if BL temps were marginal but it’s Alaska out there…

Forky did mention a few days ago that he's looking forward to the period ending storm perhaps this is what Forky was referring to.

Snow depth is recorded at 7 am each day, so it won’t reflect the snow that fell after.

Quick question. Just thinking when is the best time to restock on food. If people hear the hint of another snow storm, the stores may have a small window of restocking before being ravaged again. Thinking that Tuesday may be the optimal time. Worst case, I do have tire chains if roads aren't that good yet.

Is that from Wiz's camcorder?

I don't know if Jan 2000 is the best analog verbatim, at least at the upper levels. That one had a southern stream shortwave that got captured by the polar jet and then swung northward up the east coast. https://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/2000/25-Jan-00-500MillibarMaps.html At the surface and as far as sensible impacts go, definitely similarities. But at the upper levels, the 6z Euro output is even more anomalous. January 1966 is actually a pretty dang close analog

Somebody on Facebook had a measurement in Brighton Heights (city) of 18 inches. Obviously thats a drift. The city probbaly only got between 10-12.

Do you have this map that includes Georgia rather than New England?

Its going to be fun trying to shovel my driveway

Apple weather already showing 9”-11” for Saturday and another 2”-4” on Sunday.

16" 43.5" ytd

Wild event. Old Fort and most of McDowell county is a glacier. You make it to Black Mountain and you wouldn’t even know there was a storm

Well nevermind, that wasn't as hard to find as I thought:

As of Midnight last night. NYC - Central Park 11.4 inches - Seems about right for a change. Newark Airport 11.5 inches LGA 9.7 inches - Seems supect. Low compared to all surrounding reports Islip 12.9 inches Bridgeport 15.1 inches JFK 10.3 inches

From Snowthuen: First measurement last night shortly before 6;30 was 8.5...an additional 10.1 has fallen since then ...18.6 so far. Very light snow falling...

We regularly get burned but we never learn our lesson. Fantasy snow maps are like the toxic ex we can't get over.
