40/70 Benchmark

Better climo, though...

I also need to vent about Wankum...man, I can't stand him...such a lazy met. I love WCVB, but he is tough to stomach...always offers up these half-hazard, overly simplistic explanations that are just patently wrong. I mean...I get dumbing it down for the laymen, but to keep insisting central Mass got the snow because of elevation is idiotic when many spots in eastern areas hardly cracked freezing, and spots in the VALLEY out west still had 6". Is it rocket science to explain there was a warm layer a bit off of the ground back east?? He also was talking about the warm ground from the fall...what an ass.

Yes...it was also huge to grab that inch of fluff at the end that a lot of SNE largely missed out on....covers up the rainy scars from yesterday evening...which as Steve said, us much more beneficial now than it is during March.

It is frustrating how the gradient is always JUST to my north.

Storm sucked, but at least I have a modest bullet-proof pack, so can't complain (too much).

How much did you end up with in MHT? 5-6"?

It was still dark, but seemed like it was just a dusting once I hit 128.

Not all of it, but there will be some melting. I wasn't implying it would all melt. The hills are a different story.

I would be shocked if we hit mid month without a solid warned event for much of the region....strongly doubt we make it that far.

I also see people posting to the effect that what we have on the ground "isn't going anywhere"....well, it's going to be near 40 today and tomorrow here on the cp, so last time I checked, snow goes down the drain at that temp.

That same gradient yet again...so often you do much better than I do. 1" on the back end for a 2.5" total. Only good growth was at the end.

I wasn't trying to be a dick ...but you're a pro...poll your clients RE whether or not they find value in identifying periods of elevated risk for severe weather.

Sure, absolutely add what it does favor, but lets be honest...we are all looking for a blizzard, which is why he pointed out the limitations. I don't think there was an insinustion made that it couldn't support some more pedestrian threats.

I didn't say anyone called for one. The comment was made that the upcoming pattern is unfavorable for one, and you responded with semantics concerning climo. I don't agree that there is no valuein it...there is absolutely value in highlighting an enhanced risk, and this upcoming pattern isn't one...otherwise, WTH are we doing?? Isn't forecasting the goal?

Come on, dude...you know what he means. A big se ridge isn't how you get one.

Shocking because that usually works out (eyeroll)

You got thrown a bone in January 2022, and me in January 2024....other than that, brutal stretch.

Heh....I was hoping that idea wouldn't work out, but....

Looks like me make through at least 12/9 without anything else noteworthy, so aside from this crap event, my second week idea looks to be working out....this is like 2007. We had one crap event on 12/4, then waited for the second week to really get going.

Looks like my 4-8" zone for the all snow areas will work out....I just didn't see the huge rates/amounts with that shitty SG.

Double my total 1 town away.

I need 2.5" to hit my 4-8" range.

I'm just happy you didn't pull like 10" to my 1.5"..that is what I was horrified of

All of the OMEGA and moisture was above the SGZ...I pointed that out in guidance on Sunday.

Just can't win....I manage to pull out a victory over the ocean in early December, and the mid levels pork me. How many ways to suck a d1ck...Mother Nature intends to have me find out.
