  1. Davis WV is a very impressive spot for snow and I can personally attest to it as someone who’s skied there. The upslope they get can rival some of the most intense blizzards I’ve ever seen. Meanwhile Boston needs to catch up to Raleigh
  2. The last 3 years definitely haven’t done justice for what SNE should be like. ORH became like Boston, and Boston became like DC or Baltimore. And I’m left wondering if after 3 bad years, it’s a good time to move to the area (as opposed to moving right after a 2014-15). Because this lousy stretch can’t last forever.
  3. I just looked at the last 3 seasons at BOS, and it was basically like the mid-Atlantic. 16.8" average.
  4. Yeah, the angst is from the fact that it's December, and people want to see real snow during the holiday season, and it sucks to see it get squandered (assuming the last GFS ends up nailing the next 2 weeks). And if SNE can't reasonably expect it, then who can? If you have to go all the way to Vermont or Maine to see reliable snow in December, that's going to unsettle a lot of people. And as others have said, it's been happening for many years now.
  5. If I didn’t know any better I’d be expecting a regionwide 8-12” out of this.
  6. I’m curious about why that is? Is there some other teleconnection that is overpowering the NAO to allow these systems to cut? At some point I hope ORH can score better than 00s NYC.
  7. I meant to ask yesterday, why would it cut so far inland if there is a solid block? I thought a -NAO was supposed to stop these systems from cutting to the lakes.
  8. So close yet so far. Ended up with a few inches of snow, but much of the later afternoon and evening has been very icy. Congrats @HoarfrostHubb
  9. Yep I am, just announced the other day. Snowing for real now
  10. I’ve obviously lowered my expectations. This nasty warmth is clearly making it further inland than we previously thought. Still got a dusting so far in Worcester. Let’s see if it snows any more or if the rain/snow line ends up 3 miles north of me
  11. I was just looking yesterday at why Pivotal Weather is so unfriendly for mobile devices. Turned out that their Beta feature basically solves the problem and works well enough.
  12. I’m getting the sense that if I live in Worcester, I’d like to see BOS and PVD get something measurable. Otherwise this is way too close to the rain/snow line for comfort.
  13. I sometimes go back to MD for work, and yeah I grew up in the county. Monkton is just a few miles up the road.
  14. Looking forward to my first New England snow in 4 years. I’m in Worcester now
  15. I’m really sorry about your loss. He will be missed.
  16. Like I said, give me a MECS or give me spring. I don’t want anything in between.
  17. I’ll take what the GFS is showing, but only if it is not even 1 inch further north. It’s wild how much more amped it is than 2 runs ago. Of course I don’t remotely believe it. But we seem to have a chance.
  18. It actually reminds me of this strung out storm from 20 years ago. http://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/2005/28-Feb-05.html Check the surface maps… 984 low off the coast but we had snow TV all day until it finally picked up just a bit after sunset. We should’ve gotten 12-18” but instead it was like 3-6. I think the GL low stole a lot of the energy.
  19. What the hell gives? Is it the 987 low in the maritimes that’s stealing the energy?
  20. This has to be one of the earliest ends to winter that I can remember.
  21. Obviously I’d much rather see a 8-12” storm but this is as good as it gets if snow isn’t in the picture. So much better than 25 degrees and wasted cold.
  22. March 8 can be pretty cold if -5 anomalies are timed with a storm. Now if this were April 8, then yeah we’d be finished.
  23. You might be the only person alive who still has a piece of winter 2002-03 in your possession. Hold on to it as long as you can.
  24. I wouldn’t write off late March completely (depending on location) if we somehow end up with a great setup, but by then it will be a race against time and every week will count. In the past 12 years I’ve seen a total of at least 3 solid accumulating snow events after March 20th, with one of them being a low end MECS.
