40/70 Benchmark

I expect about 10-20" more on the season.

I have noticed this misperception that -EPO=big cutter risk due to western cold dump..likely due to these past few winters. But a negative NAO is a game changer....+NAO/-EPO is a recipe for SWFE, NOT -NAO/-EPO, which is a miller B redevelopment cook book.

Looks that way.

Dec 2003 pulled it off.

Some of us will bite....

Wish I had weighed that in more heavily making my forecast.

I was always suspicious of that 3' in Jan 2015.

I had 1-3" new on my driveway Tuesday AM, but I wasn't sure what was drifting and what wasn't....I called it an inch. I do know that we got at least 2" less than Wilmington because I measured 17" depth there before I drove home and measured the 15".

I do not think that anyone in SNE actually got 2'.

I do 6 hour swipes whenever I can, but also report settled depth, just so we are clear that there is no inflation going on. I think its helpful to distinguish the two.

The 14" settled depth was the next morning....but my peak depth was 15" at like 2 am. I am not questioning your measurement...that is reasonable.

Yes, I think it was probably on par with Wilmington.

I had 16.5 and a settled depth of 14". That Lowell report of 24" was BS IMO.

Well, I would have to look back, but I'm pretty sure that March 2018 was just as impressive, only it was more sustained because I rotted in the deformation banding. Like I said...March 2018 and April 1997 are the only two that can top that for strength and duration of rates. Monday night does get bonus points for naked twister, though...I live for the rt 128 coastal front jobs. That one was right in my wheel house and I had feeling it would be several days out, when I saw Jan 2003 pop up on the analogs...similar gradient.

I don't blame you. I don't understand why some get so annoyed by bitterness and whining (not that your sentiment constitutes either). Its never bothered me in the least. Those guys along the coast had every right to be miserable Monday night. I would have been the same way. I'd be so pissed.

Yea, that was certainly a great event, but not one of my tops. It was close to March 2018, but a notch below that.

What did you measure in this past event?

Still close enough to watch on the EPS and GEFS....GEPS are awful.

Only about 3-4" of slush here on Chelsea...

Man, I hope the 10th through the 15th fails....I'll be away, and that would sting lol

Funniest part is that if you got your vaunted solution as illustrated above, it would place a deform band over the "rich "...

I had 6"...coldest temp -1.5

Go ICON

It's all good. Forecast could have been better, and I appreciate your feedback.

Agree.
