    Here are my thoughts....I feel like some people in interior NE MA are measuring in drifts. I just drove down to my sister's, near the N Reading line in eastern Wilmington, and the avg depth was 10-11". My current average depth is 8-9", settled down from 10-11" last night. I am confident that I had about 12" of total snowfall, and Wilmington had about 14", and really do not care to argue the point. Will do a full post-storm write up later.

    Well, I get that you are saying, but its usually not THIS bad....these past four seasons have been thing short of brutal. Again, I understand our area will seldom jackpot in the largest events, but there is a difference between not jackpotting and what has gone on these past 4 years....that has nothing to do with not sniffing climo snowfall since March 2018. However, I will be moving back a bit closer to the coast in a 2-3 years....I am originally from Wilmington-

    Reality is that he forecast me for 24"+, and I got 12". I'm not sure how he didn't realize that there would be exhaust west of the coast in this...no brianer. I was telling everyone on here that for days. The trick was determining where and to what extent the secondary more interior band would be, and that is where I struggled.

    I was disappointed with Harvey. All he did was cover all of e MA with 24"+...how hard is that? Take a shot at the banding...you make 2 million per year. Then, once it became apparent my area was porked, he did what I said he would...just dragged a 1-2' down to 128. Pedestrian effort.

    I think I'm out on the rest of this year, as far as my usual frantic pace, unless something really good looks imminent within days. Still do the blog and everything, but not sure I have that same level of investment in me again until next fall. I honestly don't even care to track the next one.

    It was worse than both because I screwed the most here. This goes with 12/5/2003 and PD II as my all time largest disappointments.

    Ever since I moved up here from Wilmington, it's done nothing but snow more there. I remember saying to Will that it looked to me like Wilmington could get it, while I miss..and he said it would be tough bc its gonna orient north to south. Well, we pulled it off Just brutal

    There is nothing I detest more than arctic subsidence....bands just pinned to 128. Gag me
  9. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yea, my sister in Wilmington said 18"...I'm beside myself. Going there to measure tomorrow.
  10. 40/70 Benchmark
    The latter.
  11. 40/70 Benchmark
    Well, you would fit right in with me. Lol Hang out here more often haha
  12. 40/70 Benchmark
    That's what I thought...TBH, I would have rather that, than missing 30" by 15mi, but I still would have complained.
  13. 40/70 Benchmark
    It's all relative, though...gotta understand that. I feel ya, though. Def see where you are coming from
  14. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yes, that is how I remembered it. Everyone here knows I despise Boxing Day, so me being okay with a foot in a historic blizzard wouldn't make sense. I did say that I I didn 't need to jackpot, but 20" was the number I gave. NBD

    Why would you get 5 posted? We all break each other's balls in this forum...feel free to quote me with a bun lol All in good fun.. If they suspended you for that, I'd ask them to remove it.
  16. 40/70 Benchmark
    12" 22.5" on the season.
  17. 40/70 Benchmark
    @KPITSnow Do me a favor, crawl out of mom's basement, sit on that weenie, and spin. If it gets stuck, dial 911.
  18. 40/70 Benchmark
    No, you're good...listen, I know I get super obsessive, but at the end of the day, these are truly first world problems. I have a Job that I love and a beautiful family coming home, after months away on Thuraday to an area I've called home my whole life. I just wish they were coming home to 20" of snow, and not 12" lol

    Hey, Alex!! I hope like hell you are back in the league this summer!
  20. 40/70 Benchmark
    That's part of it...but even before the forum, I knew I got porked in PD II and Dec 2003.
  21. 40/70 Benchmark
    Right about what?
  22. 40/70 Benchmark
    You know, I brought this up to Scott and Will via text a couple of weeks ago...I know you are joking, but I have theory that there really is some sort of shift due to global warming. With higher SSTs, we could be seeing coastal fronto becoming more prevalent, which is going to bury areas like me, just inland from the coast. You can only laugh it off for so long...
  23. 40/70 Benchmark
    I explicitly said that I was scared to death of getting "Boxing Dayed", which dropped a foot of drifted baking soda on me. That is precisely what happened here. I was never okay with that...in fact, I detested the potential so much, I made a verb out of that analog.
  24. 40/70 Benchmark
    Can you find that quote? I never said that I would be happy with 12"...false. I said that I didn't need to jackpot, which was true. I said I'd be okay with like 20". These totals were always a disappointment in my book
  25. 40/70 Benchmark
    Fine with me. I think I'm just about emotionally drained form this winter. I wouldn't care if it ended tomorrow.
