Oh, and such a lovely clown map it makes. So tempted to post it.

don't do it prismshine productions

Icon blizzard in clown range

Where is 2022-23 records? On the site the past records start at 2021-2022. Are those lost?

@Kevin W

We need a good ole fashion 95 special that has a NW edge so sharp that you can get a paper cut off it, to even things out. Make the interior NW hills suck exhaust and flurries while its dumping at the coast. 

or even better...

stop cryin @Sey-Mour Snowyou still got 5.5" 

Since everyone has a fascination with that storm here it is in all it's glory...and hell.

the worst boob storm I remember was either last year or the year before. The one where the saggy left appendage rode straight into CT and killed everyone's BL. would've been a big storm iirc

Couldn't happen.  Damn thing doesn't work anyway...even after the tune up and work done to it 14 months ago.  Luckily there's been no use for it since 2022.  

Turn it on, put rubber bands around the auger and accelerator levers and let it run itself off a cliff. Snowblower suicide

All is good.  

It's just snow.  I'm rooting for a second year of futility at this point.

Well as long as your head isnt wedged in a snowblower thats a win.

Agreed for the most part but he’s correct if you’re looking to go super high end. How many storms over 3 feet are less than 24 hours? Almost none of them. Sure, even blizzard of ‘78 or Feb ‘69 had most of the snow fall in a 24 hour period but those 40”+ totals are prob like 28-35” if it doesn’t keep going and going. Same deal with those 40+ burgers in Mar 2001.

Even in an occluded state, if you have spokes of energy rotating around a pseudo-stalled ULL, it can reinvigorate the snow bands…even if not to their peak intensity…which helps add on those additional accumulations that would otherwise hit the 3-foot wall that we often see in other high-end storms that lack duration over 24-30 hours. 

Id say Feb 13 was <24 hrs, it was pretty close.. 23hrs based on the BDR obs. And the majority accumulated in 12 hrs. Same with Jan 2011 that was  <18hrs i believe, maybe even 12. While that wasn't 3 feet, we pulled 30" in that short amount of time. But i do agree for the most the really big ones like Mar 2001 and Jan 2005 for E MA are +24hrs

180 hrs out? Icon? I'm sure that won't change at all, lock it in

Haven't seen you in a while, hope you're hangin in there

All accumulating storms from the 2010-2011 season in CT. Fantastic season for all of SNE. 2009-2010 up next.

Not going to lie, last year and so far this winter have sucked (I have 20.3" of snow over the past 2 years, when I average around 45" per year at my location, even 21/22 was 13"ish below normal)....Yes the pattern looked great in the 10-15 day range over the past few days, but we are now seeing the Pacific look less impressive as we get within the 10 day window. All the while, losing the nice sustained PNA spike. This is the same song and dance we have seen over the past 2 years, so at this point sadly I expect failure(hopefully wrong). Hopefully we score a snowstorm or 2, but I fully expect lots of potential that ends up being screwed up by 50 shortwaves dancing around each east of the Mississippi....

Lets get 1 big snowstorm and bring on Spring!

I have 14" or so in 2 years lmao. Never would I thought in my wildest dreams we would have two back to back 2001-2002 type seasons. It's usually 1 rat in between good years like 01-02, 06-07, 11-12, 19-20 etc. This really feels like we just continued 22-23...Part 2. Far from over though but that's where we're at.

And I still hear people complain about the snow and cold, it's like what more do you want? This is about as good as it gets if you hate that kind of weather, move to AZ. 

Edit: and NYC is wild 2.3" last season and 2.3" so far this one. That's insane.

0z ec looks great for SNE.

I agree! Thanks Mr. Tiger!

How is 14.7" not a low outlier or all the other teens? That's what like a third of average. What are you using to define what is a low/high outlier? Did you just use the top 3? If so why not the bottom 3?

The difference from 43.4" to 44.8" is 1.4", calling it nearly two inches is a bit of stretch don't you think? In reality it's closer to 1. 

I did notice that 30yr normal jumped quite a bit when we went from the 1980-2010 period to 1990-2020. I think it was ~45" before now it's 51.7. And yeah I agree about the record keeping and lack of data drives me crazy. At least they fixed the 2005-2015ish period that was all f-d up and missing about a year ago.

I wouldn't call it "11th hour" in a warm ENSO.....especially over the past 20 years....just hitting 6ish-

Pretty much right at 6. Climo-wise we are almost at 50% (52% to be exact) for snowfall for the season. Example: BDL should be at 27" of their 51.7" 30 yr-average. BDL currently is at 15.5" (11.5" below normal)

10-11 (Jan 11) was really something extraordinary, looks like the BOS graph from 14-15.

00z GFS Kuchera. Posted in honor of Moonshine who I think might be getting married today (yesterday). If not, truthfully, I probably would have posted it anyway.

In my head canon you two are the same person

The Shining Storm is back! Pink for days.. @CoastalWx

Kinda back to where we were at 12Z with the GFS, though ill say H5 does look better with a cleaner phase after the step back at 18z

I mean I got 2.5” this week and there’s been zero sun and days of flurries and temps below 32. I haven’t measured since it ended, but there’s no grass blades showing . It’s certainly at minimum 2”. With sleet/ ice in it . Took this today along with the other one I posted. It isn’t much at all .. but it has been a decent snow cover month believe it or not. 

that insane, the majority of CT id say probably 95% doesnt even have a trace of snow. Up and down 91 and 95 and all the lower elevations, different world up there. There's literally not even piles here, might as well be November

Cloudy days saving the pack. I want no sun 

what the snow depth there?

No help from the EPS for @CoastalWx Shining Storm, can't say i'm surprised there.

13 minutes ago, CoastalWx said:

Yep. Just noting it. Not like both mean much this far out. 

GEFS has about 1/3 solid hits for SEMA, and about 2 region wide storms.

For reference those probs were at 0 last night on the 00Z run
