40/70 Benchmark

Terrible forecast for this morning, but I'm sure that most commuters will forgive me considering that it wasn't nearly as miserable as feared. Culprit (savior) was a very narrow, marginal warm layer at about 5,000 feet up in the atmosphere....while that can be overcome at times, ultimately in this case there just wasn't a cold enough air mass in place to begin with and precipitation wasn't consistently intense enough. Last Tuesday, there was a very cold airmass in place beforehand, which aided snowfall. Have to grade this one an "F". Judging by my last couple of forecasts, I'm ready for spring, but Mother Nature has other ideas after next week's tease. FINAL GRADE: F

The stool-softener last night put me over 70", anyway....

Of course it nailed this stool-softener of an event, but whiffed on the blizzard getting up here.

2 hour delay for my daughter here in Methuen.

NARCAN was coating to 2" last night....should have known, but + depth change maps were still like 2-5". Oh well....1.5" of mostly sleet......heavy as fu(k.

@Damage In TollandI see what Gibbs meant now with the EURO ENSO guidance that came out today...easy winter outlook if that's right. Could still get a biggie in latter January or February, though.

Looks like Scooter was right....probably be 2-3" tops....still grainy crap. Oh well...off to bed.

0.25" here. 31.6 IP and grains

Still grainy crap....oh well, at least I'll sleep safely.

Not as safe as Weymouth

I def. had snow for a bit, but it's more sleet and grains now.

How much you want to bet I get over 2"?

I suspect that would wash out with stronger lift.

Lower thermals not an issue here at 31.8 All about the lift.

Everything is covered....all pavement.

Snow/sleet 50/50 mix...viz dropped. 32.2/31.8

Yea, maybe...whatever, at this point.

Quick updated map: Final Call:

I don't think this looks bad up here....yea, I wouldn't be thrilled in Weymouth. I should get at least 3".

Yea.

32.5/32.2 I'll be ripping by 11pm.

Lets get that baseball in on those echoes.

Two-car garage and central AC are my two musts in a home.

I will say it's too early to really use guidance...need to get past the spring predictability barrier....I just don't like the periodicity for a super-event....they usually occur about Avery 15 years or so and we aren't there yet.

Yea, we'll see...hope not.
