40/70 Benchmark

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....

That if the area I would choose to benefit most...CJ areas.

I'm just thinking about it.....we really don't know exactly how climate change will manifest....we have theories. If more latent heat creates ore frequent and stronger coastals, it stands to reason that there could be more sinking air inland immediately adjacent to said bonanzas. Sure, if I get 80"+ next three years, while you struggle to 35", then we can laugh it off.

This sounds like something I theorized to Will and Scott....warming unducing climate change which benefits the coast in terms of snowfall, and porks just inland, from my area down the 495 belt due to more exhaust/subsidence. They weren't buying it, but if this keeps up for another few years, then we're almost forced to consider it.

You have done somewhat better than I have past few years, but not like Scott....his area is long over due for a multi year hosing.

I'm sure I am somewhat of an anomaly regionally, but the coast in general has done better. I have calculated my mean snowfall going back to the 50's before, and it was in the low 60s....so this myth about how there is some grande regression coming for this area is just that...unless it comes, anyway, and if it does my long term average will drop precipitously. But my 22 year average is not at all anomalous. 2004-2005 was wiped out by 2011-2012, and 2014-2015 has been wiped out by 2018-2019 through 2021-2022.

I have been implying that my debt is about paid after these past four seasons, and the data corroborates that...its the coast that keeps running up the their tab, not me.

Again, I need to regress for Weymouth snow.

My mean since 2000-2001 is 64.4"....about exactly average.

Outside shot at getting near normal with a big March....at 36" now.
