40/70 Benchmark

I don't need or expect a jackpot...all I ask is not be an island of 10" within a sea of 20".

Very vaguely...one of my earliest memories. I know my area actually got in the CF band, though and had around 20".

Anyway, I am just going off of what I have read online....I haven't looked at January since my outlook. Gonna start to look at it for myself this week.

There aren't many Miller As that I love....probably the Megalopolis storm of Feb 1983 and that is about it-

Yep....I agree that any SNE weenie should love the comparison, but I'm CNE TBH......

+1/2" for 1.5" on the season.

I'd just assume take my chances with a marginal airmass and a less than ideal overall set up...I do best with a little ugly, like Kev and chicks.

This is why I am paranoid about having arctic molasses over se Canada.....because unless I get under the mid level deformation, it's going to pin low level fronto to the coast and pork the ever living shit out of me yet again. It sounds absurd to worry about mesoscale shit at this juncture, but in my area it's like clock work and you can predict it well given some of these modeled set ups. The concern is two-fold....getting the precipitation up this far north, which Jan 96 struggled with (Jan 16 failed to do)...and not having the subsidence due to the arctic induced OES enhancement...a la Dec 2003, PD II and Jan 2022.

Like 5-7" of sand....about 10 miles south of me had 18"+. I was in Wilmington then, thankfully and was great there. But I am speaking from a Methuen POV.

It sucked for my area....that would probably send me right over the edge after following up the string of rainers with a Boston CJ.

I quit weather if we get a Jan '96 redux.

No thanks.

Yup.

I'd prefer a questionable airmass...all set with an arcric dome over se Canada...

Hopefully I have enough latitude for an inch...

Please, please be Jan 2...

I don't seem to be losing it...mentally, maybe...

I'm actually not thrilled to hear this...the way my luck is going....

This is why my area has struggled so much over the last 8 years or so.....big coastals are hit or miss here, but SWFE are my bread and butter, but they have been noticeably absent due to the lack of favorably positioned/timed +PP. CJs are of course 95% misses.

You have no snow at all? I see the grass through it, but there is at least a covering...

Ditto....now watch the XMAS eve snow be north of me. Like clockwork-

I'd be absolutely elated with 2" on Xmas eve.....been so busy lately, which is why I kind of half-assed yesterday's deal.

WIlly Mo Pena is another comp....

That would be cute with my locale sitting at 1.5" on the year. Caught in the oscillation where I'm either not close enough to the ocean or too far north, or too close to the ocean and too far south. Earlier in the season was the latter, yesterday the former and that would be the latter yet again.

I remember that...January 2009....we met up for the first time shortly thereafter.
