Any idea what Anchorage's season snowfall is to date? This place is pretty close to Anchorage albeit in the mountains.

GFS went from a Miller B straight to a Miller A in 3 runs for the 300 hour storm. Nice to see a BIG storm to the east crawling up the coast even if it is way too far east and a 300 hour GFS OP run

The general area of Boston (north of the Pike and west of 95) is def a lot more then similar areas around NYC (mainly NJ). Coastal areas south of the Pike are pretty similar however IMO

It's certainly different but it's not THAT different. Not like we're comparing NE to the lower Mid-Atlantic or BOS -DCA. There's a big difference there obviously. I respect your opinion, knowledge and work you put behind your forecasts but that's just plain wrong. It's not twice the amount of NYC. More, yes. But not double

I wouldn't go that far. Yes it's further south so that means usually a little warmer and less snow then NE but if any big city compares to Boston climate wise, I'd say it's NYC. Temps are very similar climo wise. Coastal areas of NE from BOS-south and west are pretty similar to the coastal tri-state area. Now if you're talking north of the Mass/NH border, then it's def different. I'd say south of EWR starts to really draw major differences in climo compared to NE.

Look at those ranges on those record dates. Nearly 60 degrees!!! I guess it wasn't really an arctic airmass given the highs above freezing both days. What would have caused the temp to be so low those nights? Radiational cooling?

That line is a sharp line with regards to seasonal snow amounts. Near and NW of that line hasn't been a "crap winter" due to much more snow then compared to places like BOS/PVD/OWD. There will be and has been noticeable differences wrt seasonal snow amounts south to north of that line. Differences to the point of it being categorized as a bad winter and a decent/okay winter in a very short distance IMO. For most south of the Pike, it's been a garbage winter with little snow and cold. Reminds me of a winter 2001-2002. One decent areawide snowstorm (during the tuck rule game I believe) and lots of warmth. Correct me if I'm wrong

Like I said, south of a line approx from ALB-ORH-PSM, it's been a crap winter. I think most south of this line would agree

I'm one of those so from my perspective this has basically been a non-existent winter for me even living on the coast. My expectations after moving here 3 years ago were for much better winters with a lot more snow then where I grew up. Probably why this winter has been a big disappointment with the climo difference. I'd say for anybody south of a line from ALB-ORH-PSM, this winter has been crap relative to what we're all used to. The lack of cold has been amazing and of course with that comes a lack of snow, the thing we all (99% of us at least) truly crave.

Amazing how warm it's been at night this winter. Since about mid-December it's truly been a toaster bath. Even worse the last 30 days. What a crap, non-existent winter.

From what I've I heard from Kevin is that it's a model that Noyes, and I'm assuming a team of people at NBC10 built themselves. I'm just guessing that it is a model blend maybe given more weight to the Euro or something but I do see it a lot and it is pretty accurate

Can you blame him? Almost every snow threat that's 5+ days out fades away usually within 1-2 model runs and this one will probably do the same by tomorrow. Hope I'm wrong though

Usually the silly "Power Outage Map" that Pete B. posts before a storm is way overdone and never happens the way it's painted. Today it's finally come to fruition. Tons of wind damage in SNE, specifically SE Mass. and tons of outages. GL to those without power as it might actually be a few days to restore it as the power companies probably weren't prepared for such widespread wind issues and outages like they normally are these days when there's a big, hyped up coastal coming up the coast

We think it's been bad in this sub-forum about this winter so far, anybody have any idea how it is in the DC/Mid-Atlantic sub? I don't have access. With a grand season total of 0" of snow in DC, it must be absolutely brutal!

I had a feeling. Just seeing that number on the TV struck me as being super low. Crazy to think that it's never been warmer then 55 degrees on this single date. This would then make it Boston's coldest record high temp of the year. Is ORH the same?

Just out of curiosity, anybody know if today's record high of 55 degrees most recently set in 2014 at KBOS is the lowest record high for the winter season? I'm sure there's tons of places online to look really quick but I don't have any links. TYIA

They've been doing a lot of repaving and additional construction there but idk how that would have any impact on it. Increased jet traffic? Idk. Very frustrating to say the least

It does, even the NYC CT suburbs closer to NYC (Darien, New Canaan etc..) have much more of a NE feel than the NYC NJ suburbs. Especially the heavily wooded areas. Lots of old time NE there. Reminds me of the Metrowest suburbs around here, just with bigger homes there. Idk, maybe it's all the rockwalls

Of course you don't lol. Overrunning events usually delivery the bigger goods to you than a bombing coastal on the BM where more times than not you're on the NW'ern fringe of the meaningful QPF. Although you usually do clean up with the upslope stuff after the storms roll through You will always do better in crappy patterns and good patterns in your location, save for 09'-10' of course

It does, especially considering it wasn't exactly fluffy snow from that blizzard that would of compacted. Maybe they're measuring in the sun

OT but anybody know how much snow KNYC, KPHL, KBAL, KDCA and KIAD have this season? I know it's lower than BOS and of course ORH but just curious bad a winter it's been for them.

Can't wait until next year so when our 30-year temp average we measure our anomalies against changes and we gets rid of the 80's. I guess that'll make our LR outlooks more bearable when they show warmth

What's your pack? Don't think you lost much since your historic 3 foot blizzard a couple of weeks ago

He did say that string of mild air next week could completely turn and we end up closer to normal but that's what he has for now. Unreal that January is over 9 degrees above normal at KBOS.

What an entire waste of time these last 2 months have been and it's looking like a 3rd month will be included with that. Since that 12/1/19-12/3/19 storm we've basically gotten nothing or very minimal events that trended worse the closer we got to them. Saturday most likely fall under that category as well and nothing is looking good in the LR. Anytime something does start to look good in the LR, it slowly starts to vanish in the following days. Can't win this winter here
