It's delusional is what it is. The grandiose, unrealistic ideas that come with every post is nuts. Getting the NAV out of your top 3 would be a good start to reform

Thank you, I will keep looking at the GFS. Pretty good model. You know damn well that if it did show a BM track with a "blizzard" to the coast you would be all over posting about how good it's been since its upgrade and how that'll be the final solution. You're right, liking them doesn't make you child but saying that they're gonna happen with EVERY SINGLE piece of energy that exits the east coast, just like you do, does in fact make you a child. I remember being in middle school too, hearing a storm of some sort was on the horizon and thinking "wow! major blizzard!!!!!" These were my thoughts as a 12 y/o and obviously this is how you think now at whatever age you're at. Sad. Here's some advice for you, grow up and get a grip!

Exactly what I was trying to say. Really big snowstorm? Maybe. Blizzard? Not happening and shouldn't be thrown around here like it's even a 50/50 chance of happening at this point

My god with the ridiculous hyperbole. There is not going to be a "monster blizzard" anywhere in NE. Give it rest already. You must be like 13 y/o or something

As he shouldn't be in this type of storm apparently. No reason to not follow the GFS op. It has led the way WRT the other models up until this point. They all follow the GFS. Kind of been like that for a while now anyway. If the op makes a major move east then I guess we would be back in the heavy snow game but for now, it's lights out for this "threat".

No but things are contradicting. Are we to use the ens at this lead time for this type of storm or not?

We were told the ens were utterly useless for this type of storm. Don't think we should be getting excited cause they're not running over central PA. Can't have it both ways when they suddenly jack ones backyard

OTS is a real concern for the Monday event. Heck, it's a real concern for all the threats.

It wasn't. High was 41 with only about 18 hours above freezing and overcast all day. Amazing how quickly it all went yesterday. Shows how fluffy it was. It compacted pretty good and quickly on Friday-Saturday, then the dews took care of the rest on Sunday I guess. Fastest I've seen 10" vanish without extreme high temps

Yeah, it's a perfect job for a retiree that wants to stay active and is awake super early anyway. I think the real issue is the pay for a job with a lot of responsibilities. If they offered something like $20/hr then I think staffing issues would be no more.

Bus companies all over the country are severely short staffed, crossing guards too. Hard to entice people when you're only offering ~$15/hr part-time, especially in this expensive area.

Yeah, that's probably more the issue. Good catch. If this happens in 2019 maybe they don't close or just a delay. Was just caught off guard due to not so bad wind chills and temps only down to the single digits and not below 0, at least inside of 128

Boston schools closed for the cold tomorrow I guess in previous years this would be surprising but with today's age of remote learning pushed on us by the pandemic, it's not that surprising.

Snowcover is basically gone in Chelsea despite only 15 hours above freezing maxing out at 41 with overcast all day. 10” basically compacted down to nothing and quick lol

Thanks. Didn't even know this was an issue. LGA was likely closer to 20:1 or less. Still very impressive for being down on the water basically.

What were the ratios at LGA for this? 30:1?

We did! . 10.1 final here. Good call @qg_omega

6in is nothing to be disappointed at and well within your forecast. I'm sure you'll clean up over 95% of SNE by April. Climo FTW for you.

Main roads/highways are in great shape for such a big snowfall. Great positive bust here. Was not expecting to be approaching double digits

Over 9" in Chelsea. Me thinks Logan has to be close to double digits by now and still coming down.

Hi /r/boston! I completed my cross stitch temperature chart of 2021! : boston (reddit.com) This is pretty cool. Wish they used some more contrasting colors though.

Yeah, that's a strange one considering the 80th degree latitude just encompasses the northern 8th of Greenland and some Canadian islands. I could see that area get a few dozen strikes a year but not thousands upon thousands. It's either correct but my money is on faulty equipment

Yes, even so. If we end up with a few more 3"-6" events, would be a top 5 ratter in the last 20 years.

If a 6” snowstorm is all we see for the season, that’ll be an all time low at least for my generation

Anyone from ENE north of Boston that went to UMass knows exactly where Shutesbury is. Has one main road that's the perfect cut through to get to Rt. 2 from Amherst. That little town is awesome! The topography is really neat. At the bottom of the road it's like 300 ft ASL. Go up the road heading east and goes up to about 1,200 ft ASL and the weather reflects it. IDK how many times I had rain or wet heavy snow in Amherst and a quick drive to Shutesbury cured my snow needs. They were also hit pretty hard in the Dec 08 icestorm. Was just as bad as some places in the northern Worcester Hills while 2 miles to the west in Amherst (and surrounding areas) was rain. If I was forced to live out there, Shutesbury would be at the top of the list.
