40/70 Benchmark

@MJO812.

The reason I have very little interest in this is because its one of those "no win" scenarios....some of the weenies may get caught chasing a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow solution that really doesn't exist. If its a stronger amplified low, you rain....maybe end as an inch or two of snow. If it goes east, its because there is less N stream energy available, and while a larger ratio of precip is frozen, there is less of it...so you still get a 1-3" type of deal. There really isn't much worth monitoring east of the Berkshires and that has been apparent for several days. Most potential involving cold fronts is like that.

Yes, but those two take the cake.

Man, the NAM and UK are so unstable.

I think a quick couple inches at the end is the hope.

I know there was no way that was lingering very long. They want no part of not being on the field for Jackie Robinson Day, and once we hit the point where international draft was main issue, I knew I was right. Thank god.

No, I totally agree.

H85 doesn't even close off until its over E MA.

Seems like latest runs are keeping more of the energy bottled way up north with the PV.

Doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

Nope.

That run is 6-9" in the Berkshires.

That was nice where I was in Wilmington...18". But I think it was like 7" of sand here in Methuen.

Nope...still there.

When you mad, me glad.

I had 12" in Wilmington...Woburn 5 mi se had 26" (drove my dad's house and measured), and Peabody 10 ese had 36".

There are three storms that pissed me off to an extreme level and really left me bitter. 1) Dec 5, 2003 2) PD II 3) 1/29/22 Dishonorable Mention: The second in the sequence of double barrel event during December 1996.

I honestly enjoyed a light to moderate wet, pasty snow that didn't screw me more than the I did the blizzard. 100% truthful. 12" of sand with fairly meager rates most of the day, while everyone around me gets 24-30"...compared to a quick 4.5" of scenic paste, while most other spots got 2" on the grass. Honest to god truth, give me the latter...unless I am going for a seasonal record or something like that.

Don't get me wrong, I love a deep snow pack, but seasonal total is more important to me....a year like 2004-2005 that had over a 100", but really only one interlude with deep pack didn't bother me. One of my favorite seasons. 1993-1994 was overrated in my mind because I was "only" like 10-15" above average.

Yea, great post. One thing you never see me do is telling people what to be happy and satisfied with.

Ensemble means all in pretty good agreement on maybe low end warning in the Berkshires, and advisory elsewhere. Still think that is course of least regret.

I would use a blend....NARCAN is pretty representative IMO.

Slightly heavier burt of snow ended up making it a bit further north than was expected yesterday, due to some late changes in guidance after the forecast was issued. https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2022/03/mid-week-verification.html Give it a D+

Past four seasons....I have learned to be satisfied with not ending up in the bottom 20 percentile of regional totals lol
