40/70 Benchmark

Alrighty, then.

Ha probably an inch.

Ok, weathergeek

Yea, I'd say 45ish.

@Great Snow 1717How much?

Yea, I often say speed of movement is overrated in terms of total snowfall. I bet the absolute highest amount in 1978 was only 6" higher than Monday due to speed of movement.

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

Dude, I earned that last inch...it fell while I was breaking my back, and vault-jumping to get the shovel loads over the 6' high bankings that line my driveway. I honestly can't imagine having gotten 40" instead of 10".

Yea, they have me at 9...give me that last inch!!

I'd give anything to get another December like that.

Yea, vast majority of ratio considerations are in the mid levels...sure, you lose some of the modest OES contribution from Monday, but it wasn't significant....I feel the marginal lower levels impeded snowfall more than trivial OES element contributed, thus amounts of would have been greater had it gotten inland.

We have spoken about how this was due to happen because we are usually close, and you had been killing me the past several years.

Yup, absolutely, but I have had pretty much the lowest relative to average over the past 10 years considering I've been largely just too far south/close to the coast for the large interior/NNE events. Sure, I got thrown a bone on 2/1/2021, 1/7/2024, but the numbers don't lie...there is a reason I went 8 years without getting within 10" of average. I wasn't implying that I got screwed in a mesoscale sense on Monday...maybe a bit considering there was a weak H7 band to the NW, but that was mainly a collective screwing ...agreed.

I mean there has been a couple of near misses...and Monday sliding south.

Solid...just passing seasonal average with hopefully a decent amount to go.

Yes, both true, absolutely....trust me, I know all too well after seeing 30" turn into 10".

64"...good season, but could easily be in the 80s right now.

I've still been porked, but at least I have finally had normal to above average snowfall for the first time since 2018...however, once again, I'm one of the lower spots around relative to average.

Here one, expand this

64" here.

I'm not...good winter, but left A LOT on the table in my hood.

I thought the GFS was just about flawless throughout the modeling evolution of the blizzard, despite having the rug pulled out on me last moment.....it needs to be judged within the context of what it was designed to do and it was exceptional in that regard. Put the vaunted EURO to shame.

Yes...every storm I check the forecast and look at the wind direction to inform on which side of my house to plant the board.

Yea, this was your '78 given it was a bit south of that one. Now it's my turn to one a bit north of it....probably either the day after I crack, or when I'm bed-ridden and shitting myself.
