    The St Paddy 2007 event was nice...11" of paste in Wilmington and 13" of powder on the other side of the CF up at UML.
  2. 40/70 Benchmark
    Remind me to congratulate myself.
  3. 40/70 Benchmark
    I haven't even seen a flake in March.....not sure that has happened in my lifetime. Would be a fitting way to end the season.
  4. 40/70 Benchmark
    Didn't make freezing here....just down to 36.
  5. 40/70 Benchmark
    I doubt it....strongly.
  6. 40/70 Benchmark
    Just an uneventful and modestly unpleasant stretch...nothing redeeming about it.
  7. 40/70 Benchmark
    I don't expect it to be very cold....probably around normal. My only assertion was that the NAO/AO look to trend negative again next week.
  8. 40/70 Benchmark
    Ok...revisit in a week.
  9. 40/70 Benchmark
    Obviously there is higher error at longer leads, but its forecast to pretty negative and it is likely it will at least be somewhat negative given the major disruption to the PV that is ensuing. Again, do I think we see significant snow in SNE....no....but it won't be mild, either.

    Last week of the month...
  11. 40/70 Benchmark
    It flips next week, but I agree it doesn't look very cold...seasonably cold.
  12. 40/70 Benchmark
    100%.

    Right...because the airports are still using the wipe and clear method, while most spotters are not. I use the wipe and clear method because as I said, I am measuring the amount of snow that falls.....not a random depth. Its only a big deal in the larger events.
  14. 40/70 Benchmark
    They way I see it.....snowfall is measured in 6 hour increments, and snow depth is obtained the old-fashioned way.
  15. 40/70 Benchmark
    I think the fact that major airports have been utilizing the 6 hourly swipe method since the 1950's mitigates this issue to some degree......I know that currently, most spotters are still doing end of storm depth measurememnts. I know for a fact because I had my 31.5" measurement for a March 2018 event ultimately rejected by BOX because it was obtained via the 6 hour method. I think the larger issue is the lack of consistency...its not as standardized as you are implying.

    This late March pattern looks to follow the theme of the winter, which is unimpressive cold, albeit consistent. That won't cut it for most of SNE as we near April. Very similar to late March 2000. Should protract the season for the larger NNE resorts, though.
  17. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yes, true.....agree on that.
  18. 40/70 Benchmark
    I think it will be nuisance for us if anything, but hopefully I'm wrong. If we are going to be in a garbage spring pattern, then it might as well snow.
  19. 40/70 Benchmark
    I agree with that addendum...especially across SNE.
  20. 40/70 Benchmark
    He was right about snowpack...the ski resorts have had it, which combined with consistent if not impressive cold, has made for a respectable ski season.
  21. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yes, the plowe operators have been hurting, but his post was about the ski resports....I don't think that has been as bad.
  22. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yes...that's been the general pattern.
  23. 40/70 Benchmark
    1955-1956 is similar to 2013-2014 in the sense that the analog worked out on a larger scale, but the snowfall was conspicuously absent in the NE.
  24. 40/70 Benchmark
    I know 2019-2020 and 2023-2024 were nightmares, but really the only two dating back to the 2015-2016 super nino blood bath...so 3 in the last decade, which I'm sure is more than usual...its been a shitty stretch.
  25. 40/70 Benchmark
    I used to spend a lot of time in Heniker as a kid...nice area.
