It is not in terms of ONI, which is what I think those people are referring to. I know I am. But I agree that this event is definitely more coupled and is obviously a more prominent driver than last year's la nina.
So far, so good....my neighbor across the street still has cover, and his property sun bathes all day. I am just over the line, though...legit 2 miles down the road to join the highway, and its just patches.....nothing once you hit 495 in I93.
I don't think 1-3" is gone with one day of 35-40 at this time of year, especially if dews are low. Hell, my inch of crust from Saturday survived low 40s yesterday. The sun is so weak....
Yea...two different things, though...this is why snow is more preferable in December. But the actual snowfall itself is better in March, unfortunately.
Aside from SSTs....there is a reason that cutters are more frequent in December...there is a seasonal lag. The mean baroclinic zone has yet to settle southward enough on average.
I agree that December snows are certainly more festive, but March snow events are just better...especially anywhere remotely close to the ocean. But even regionally...I feel there are more high-end March events than there are December events.
Yea, I just took an EPS H5 image from xmas and annotated.
Wxbell has better graphics, but F5 has the Narcan snowmaps, nice simulated radar and Long range Ukmet plus ensembles. I would go w F5 bc wxbell maybe redundant for you
