40/70 Benchmark

My #1 @ 127.5".

.25" from squall...36.75"

Two warning events the first week of the month.

Looks like Cohen on board for an early March PV split? I had given up on that....maybe we April 1996?

At least that would need to be warm.

Great....plenty of cold, plenty of chances, but baseball or snow....not so much. I hate this season with a passion.

My worst fear...a cold pattern full of "chances".....god, gag me.

I've heard that so many times this season. Overrunning is really just code for a coldish pattern with no blocking. They are often not very prolific. We've played that Wilton Felton elevator music, or whatever the hell his name is, like 10 times this season, but most locales have half of the snow. Here is a tall task....point to the discrete and viable winter storm threat on the maps....exactly. Wish we could end it.

The map showed a cold April, which is exactly what no one wants.

First call from Sunday was actually better there Haha. Thanks, Steve.

I expected highest totals in N CT & RI to be around 6", hence the southern portion of the 6-10" range, so that looks worse than it was. I think there were some 5.5" amounts, or thereabouts.

Friday Winter Storm Verification Successful But Flawed Forecast Here is the forecast map issued on Thursday afternoon for the Final Call. Versus what actually transpired yesterday. The forecast was fairly accurate, however, the predicted ranges were slightly too heavy overall. Namely, there were no 12" amounts, as the coastal front that was expected to augment mid level lift over se NH remained off shore and down into the immediate Boston area. Thus this small 10-14" should have simply been included in general range, which would have been better served being 7-11", rather than the 8-12 range that was employed. Finally, the 6-10" zone should have been shifted a bit to the north, outside of CT and RI, as it was in the First Call issued last Sunday. Otherwise, the 1-3" and 3-6" utilized across these states were in fact appropriate. Final Grade: B-

I hope to god it's not a clipper pattern....no use for that in March.

No complaints yesterday. Nice snowy Friday

+8" 36.5" YTD

8" today brings me to 36.5".

My measured total on the season. 36.5" now.

Yea, I haven't noticed that...just commenting on how it's been for them, which is what you would expect.

Sometime I think he needs to stop and look around through all of the CAPS and !!!!!!!!!.

I have been at least like 15" below normal for 4 consecutive seasons.

Yea, he has been living a charmed life, too.

Yea, not sure what he is smoking.

Yea, and I have whined plenty this year, but I've accepted it. I'm tired of my own damn whining, at this point.

8" Final....just barely hit my range. 36.5" on the season.

Well, what is your average since 2000-2001? Bet its waaay above average, where as mine is normal, so we have already seen in for like 22 years....
