Ah. I was just teasing anyway. I thought he meant 1-3', which would be plausible at that amount of liquid with good cold and perhaps not too much wind aloft in the interior?

Me.

I'm not convinced I'll get a foot, but even the most ardent pessimists will hope for more than 1-3"

I think you may be slightly conservative.

We know where that snow hole would actually set up.

That's twice my mighty haul so far.

You moved to a place and don't know whether it's flood prone? Perhaps whateverhappenshappens would be more apposite.

If anyone in the bay doesn't know by now, inches of snow is the least of their problem. Basic pattern recognition is a life skill.

I would dance a jig for any major snowfall. Haven't seen one in a couple years. Which is why I'm looking forward to this trending west, then being assured that I'll still get significant snow after we flip back from rain, then watching a band to our west while sucking subsidence, then just as that band should move overhead it disintegrates and forms east of me. Lastly to come on here and listen to people bitching about getting only 10 inches instead of 18 while I look at 4 inches of paste. Something like that, don't want to get too specific at this stage.

Rain is worse than cold and dry. You cant go outside and it's ugly.

Isn't sticking here. Not even really a dusting. Still, nice vibes on the cliff walk.

Significant accumulation of strawman here.

Just flipped here. Kid is home and quarantining. I'll take some ornamental snow.

Most of the wind down here is just nice and steady 20-30 mph stuff. Nothing crazy. Good luck to those in the blue.

A whiffer into a rainer sounds like an average January to me!

If you want to be perpetually disappointed it's a good starting point.

Rain into snow as it spins up.

I'll take a 958 mb bomb somewhere in the general hemisphere as something to watch. My winter spirit has been awakened, and it must do something before it goes to bed disappointed in a couple months.

On your average snowfall, you can add an inch for every town further away from the ocean. If Newport gets 3, Middletown gets 4, Portsmouth gets 5, bristol gets 6, Warren gets 7. The snowstorms that don't obey this rule are my favorite. There has been one of significance in the last decade here. We got 13, Barrington got like 3 inches. Those were the day. Sometimes I've seen triple the snow just from the south end of Newport to the north. Anyhow, two days of sledding, we made it count, bare grass incoming tomorrow.

Good lord that is typical. I ended up with about 3.5 inches. Cement then a powder puff on top. Drive in any direction and the snow immediately gets deeper.

Ok, well. I'm enjoying Dave Eggers "the every" for a nice dystopian laugh.

Wait, you are complaining that you are alone? I haven't been alone in years. May I recommend... Drugs?

Nice little rate at the end here. Enough to go sledding, it's all I wanted, heading out now and the kid is bouncing off the walls. I went from radar watching and sulking to a four year old saying "daddy, daddy, the snowflakes are landing in my mouth." Perspective, I guess?

So you got a decent snowfall but didn't jackpot. Look to your SE and weep for them.
