Ouch mappy sorry to hear. Car accidents terrify me.

Yeah the past 10 years have been pretty good overall, though this year is a big ugly exception. Hopefully we get a real -NAO in the winter some time soon, because this current pattern is as hideous as it gets — the complete opposite of 10 years ago. But yeah those 12 days alone had almost as much snow as the entirety of winter 2002-03, which would've been unthinkable in the 00s to anyone except the craziest weenies.

Happy anniversary!

Yeah it was a miserable stretch, especially with that triple phaser barely scraping us but burying the same places as the Boxing Day storm.

June-uary. I haven’t seen the mood this dire here since 2011-12.
-
Thanks! I’m doing quite well, and I’ll be back at my old home for the weekend.

There is plenty of data online to look back at the daily highs of any station that keeps records. I can assure you, the coastal plain and even the Piedmont in the mid-Atlantic did not have multiple weeks of highs in the teens in January 2018. Yes, the month started very cold, but it wasn’t a relentless deep freeze. It wasn’t 2017 either since that was an awfully warm winter.

Thanks Mdecoy, I still read this forum from time to time. The job thing is the hardest part, but if snow means that much to you, then it might be worth looking for another job further north. Big rewards usually require taking risks. Still though, it would be easier for someone like you than it is for someone who has a wife and kids to raise.

It’s a great song.
-
If snow means that much to you, why don’t you just move north?
-
Seems like a decent event back home from what I’m seeing. Reports of 3-4”.
-
This is why I don’t really believe it until I see it. 2001-02 and other awful winters also had a lot of long range false hopes.
-
I’m thinking that Labrador will be a good spot for weenies to migrate once the climate warms up.
-
What an ungodly storm. Makes the typical northeast HECS look like a flurry.

Winter 2020 New England Banter and General Obs
Fozz replied to CapturedNature's topic in New England
I’m in Concord, NH overnight where it is 5 degrees. Heading further north tomorrow. It will be a far cry from last weekend when it was over 60 degrees and I took my sister to Newport. -
Looks like you might get some snow tomorrow.
-
I’m heading to NH this weekend. Might have a chance to meet up with a few of the posters who live up north. At some point I also want to explore Vermont, but when I booked, guidance wasn’t looking as good for Stowe, plus I was told it gets crowded on MLK weekend.
-
It seems like while the winter -NAO has been very scarce in recent years, it has usually delivered very well whenever it happened. Maybe that’s what our new climate baseline favors, so I can only imagine how a winter dominated by the -NAO would turn out.
-
I might be 5 years too late with the north move But I hope not.
-
I’ll be in Maryland that weekend, so I wouldn’t be missing much.
-
On the flip side though, we’ve also been through a very long stretch of little to no -NAO in the winter months, and this year seems to be continuing that trend in earnest. At some point that will need to change.
-
Ouch... that looks horrendous, and I think it's fair to assume the mountain has been closed for a while. Don't they usually get decent snowfall? I believe their average is around 70" or so.
-
You should do what I did -- move north. Although I'd have to say even here it's been boring since mid-December. Maybe Vermont. Also those 40" winters were never going to be the norm in NYC. You just got very lucky for 18 years.

Based on the latest guidance, another trip to Wildcat and maybe a day at Sunday River might be the cards.
