Think the final BDR total has not ben posted yet. That was at 7 am I believe

He's just trying to get a rise out of us.

Thanks Don. Last year and this year so far have reminded me a lot of the 80s growing up. Figures. 2018/2019 through 2023/2024 a good representation of the 90s.

Somehow BDR reported .02. Even central park had 0.5. That has to be an undermeasure.

1.6 inches total for Easton CT.

1 inch of snow on the nose Easton CT.

That band was nice. 1 inch of snow Easton CT.

Saying 80s were cold/dry warm wet with clippers which is basically what we have seen both years.

This year and last year are straight from the 80s weather wise.

Gigantic block

Terrible representation IMO. Multiple reports of 27 inches in SWCT, including the town that I lived in at the time (Norwalk) yet it shows 10 to 20.

History in general is useful, however, I just do not see the benefit from a forecasting perspective where we are trying to understand the upcoming patterns (this forum). I would personally 50 years is ideal, as I am seeing a lot of the 1970s, 80s and 90s repeat since 2018 (actually lived through 80s onward). I don't see how stating "this cold would have been above average in 1923" will help us do a January forecast. There is a separate climate change forum where past information is highly relevant and should be discussed, as it can help us prepare for continued change (unless it stops or reverts).

That would be an absolute nightmare lol.

I get the post. If we were going to make a forecast, why would we leverage 1840? Anything beyond 30 years will not help us make a seasonal or event forecast.

You nailed this one Don. Great job!

I can verify the UPTON NWS report. 6.2 inches Easton CT.

The RAP, NAM and HRRR do backfill and provide another 2 to 4 for Fairfield County. Hopefully its correct.
