00Z vs. 06Z EPS ENS MEM SLP

didnt know that went back that far.

imagine if we had the power of the internet, social media and weather forums like we did in 2001-2002 It woulnd't be toaster bath or cliff jumping it would be a stiraght .38 to the head.

You def got more in Jan. Jan 18th.

thought i stumbled into the banter thread for a minute.

that may be the only thing that could save this winter from a hard F

This for annoying me with all those severe posts and threads in the middle of the damn winter @weatherwiz

I'm glad you had a good time and enjoyed it don't get me wrong. I would have too. But there's something about a very localized snow event while everyone else is in the duldrums of a depressing brown winter with nothing going on, it just seems i dunno, sad. Part of what i like when we get a huge nor'easter that smashes everyone down to the coast with epic snow is that we are all talking about and we are all enjoying it. A big part of it to me is just having like the state shut down, it's on the news, everyones talking about it. It disrupts and changes the entire landscape for everyone. Some family and friends tell me if i love snow so much then just move to alaska or the mountains of the west. And i've lived in South Lake Tahoe for a while. Snow there was just, i dunno boring. There wasn't this huge 960mb low passing over the BM with blizzard conditions and a beautiful looking radar. The radar always looked lame with Sierra blocking the scan. The snow was expected by everyone and you couldn't really see far as there were pines and hills surrounding everything. Also another weird thing i noted at 6,000ft+ is that it constantly snowed at 33-36F. And i mean steady SN at above freezing.

I feel like this would be marginally fun unless I went there with a bunch of friends and went plowing or snowmobiling or some activity

what did you do there? just walk around in the snow? did you stay at a hotel?

An ice cream truck just drove by..

It wasnt snowless. We had an advisory event about 3-5" statewide in January (the 18th). So that's just false. Also it's not worse than 2001-2002. 01-02 featured 1 advisory event for CT the ENTIRE season. This season there was a major inland 10"+ snow storm in Dec, another advisory snow storm in Dec, a moderate ice event and a Jan advisory snowfall level event. Also also, it's March 2nd. So J-M is only 2 months, Jan and Feb. Unless you are clairvoyant and know with 100% certainty we are not seeing any snow in March at all. Don't get me wrong it's bad, very bad. But it's still a bit better than 2001-2002. That's where the buck stops. Grade: F

But what does the NAVGEM say?

18Z EPS Mean SLP spread and total qpf for a 24hr period. Looks pretty good given this lead time.

I'm legit terrified after this post.

This is the most depressing winter thread ever.

Last winter storm warning that went all the way down to the shore of CT was Mar 3-4 2019. Last blizzard warning was Mar 14 2017 bust, unverified.

maybe if it was over the @40/70 Benchmark

a bad winter pattern, is still winter. def want.

No severe wx this summer, no dews, no days above 90, no tropical storms, weeks of drizzle and clouds. And i'm gonna laugh and laugh and laugh at your trolling arse!
