I was too young in 1996, but TWC played most of those same Trammell Starks tunes again in the fall of 2002, when I had a strong feeling that we were about to have a very good winter. Brings back so many good memories.
-
Lol that is practically a repeat of this past week.
-
The fact that I know who the Rippingtons are says everything about how much I was glued to TWC back in the day.
-
This is shaping up to be the perfect chance to compensate those of us who were screwed on Monday.
-
Yeah the signal has been there for some time, but until the last few runs it looked like nothing eventful, and now suddenly a foot of snow is a possibility. I also do recall early Feb 2003. A nice 4-8" storm for most of the northeast cities, but I remember being shocked when the Weather Channel reported the New England totals, which seemed to happen so fast.
-
This storm is sneaking up on us almost as fast as January 2000 in the mid-Atlantic.
-
With the 10:1 map it's actually remarkably even throughout nearly the entire northeast and even much of the mid-Atlantic. You'll be amazed at the uniformity of it.
-
A nice snow shower just passed. It was a fun little burst of snow.
-
Oh man... if reality is even half this good in NNE then I'll be over the moon. I should be there Friday.
-
It doesn’t get any more perfect than this. Damn. EDIT: That's the 12z run. We'll see if 0z holds.
-
Why is it good?
-
I was just going to ask @PhineasC, how would you be able to spend the bulk of your winters in NH if you have school aged kids? Unless you plan to send them to school there. Of course with the virus, everything is remote, but eventually schools will fully open up again.

I was concerned about the CF even in the days leading up to the storm. A lot of models had that red flag, but I was told not to worry about it, and that I’d be far enough west/inland. I should’ve listened more to my own doubts.
-
That’s a lot of rain for the same places that were screwed in yesterday’s storm. Meanwhile those who were buried get a very nice refresher on that run. The rich keep getting richer.
-
That snow hole east of Springfield makes me feel a little better.
-
I’ll be in town, staying in a nice Victorian home.
-
It's a very lazy way of putting it together, especially since they don't account for the timing of the observations. They'll have 4pm reports and count them as final totals if there aren't newer numbers, and we all know that's absurd and inaccurate to the extreme.
-
As I mentioned in the storm thread, I'll be going up to Vermont and I have a place booked in Northfield, which is not far from Montpelier. I'm planning to stay for the rest of the month, and maybe into March. Hoping to see a lot of snow up there, and I especially look forward to the skiing. I followed quarantine and tested COVID negative, so in terms of pandemic guidelines I'm all set.
-
Where I came from, in the mid-Atlantic a lot of people would appreciate a 6” storm even if it was less than expected. I’m starting to get a little more spoiled now that I’m up here, but it’s the closeness to those 12”+ totals that really gets to me.
-
Please don’t tell me Attleboro also got a foot or more.
-
Speaking of NNE, I rented a place in one of those VT towns, so I'm heading up soon and I plan to stay for at least the rest of the month since I work remotely. I also just tested COVID negative yesterday after over a week of quarantine, so I'm good to go.
-
I think the CF ruined it here. It's had a tough time accumulating around 32-33, and had it been a few degrees colder we'd be talking double digits here.
-
That's an infuriating gradient. 8 miles between 4" and 13"+, just because of a few degrees difference. And here I thought the difference between me and Will was frustrating. Reminds me of some marginal mid-Atlantic storms that I've seen.
-
Yeah you usually report more snow than what I measure. My measurements were mostly from 5.5” to 6.5”, so assuming it’s over, I’m going with 6” as the total. Disappointing, but not a total debacle. At least the late evening was fun.
