ICON looked about the same or a little worse to me, and still nothing.

Elliot page?

No, I mean there's a need for a narrative, because people want big solutions, and then you have a counter narrative in every storm, "it's gone." Every model in this context is evidence of an outcome that isn't just some middling thing, it's all heading to something else. I know the solution tends to more accuracy as we have better information and more time, but it could head to where it is, some brush of an event, or anything else within a reasonable envelope.

Why does it have to be headed anywhere?

I was going to drive out to upstate New York Friday am, I'm starting to think I might not want to deal with mohawk/Hudson valley zr as modelled. It's almost all 90 and 87, but the end is Mennonites and untreated roads. It's not a necessary trip. Any thoughts?

You're right. Just checked my photos and it's tree after tree after tree on power lines morning of Feb 9 2013.

That´s the most amount of downed trees I´ve seen with a winter storm. Everything was absolutely caked.

Power outage here. Must be the driving, uh, drizzle and the 3mph wind.

If we are predicting predictions now, I would like to predict predictions of predictions. I'm going to stick my neck on the line and say there will be, regardless of verification of prediction of prediction, a strong signal of interest from Southeastern posters in making predictions of predictions, while others in the interior post it's over, you're still tracking this thing, etc.

First real snow eating fog. Starting to feel like it's drawing to a close if this period doesn't result in much. Snow in March is fairly unusual here. There's two months of any sort of dependable chances.

I don't understand why you complain about this year on the basis of getting slightly less snow than your neighbors, but wouldn't think this year has compared favorably to the last several in looking, feeling, and acting like a winter. It's the logic I try to work on with my children. You can't only enjoy something in the context of getting more than your sibling, you have to enjoy a good as a good in itself. It's still more odd because you rely upon statistics as evidence of how screwed you are. Yes, your climo means you should do better on average. That's why you do do better on average! That doesn't mean an injustice has occured when you don't, or anything statistically remarkable has occured. There are greatest ever storm accumulation maps people post, full of fond memories, that just to look at them makes me relive trauma. None of them have been me getting 3 inches when someone else gets 6 nearby. That is virtually every single snow event. They've been me getting rain, when most of the rest of New England get 1-2 feet. That's why my climo is what it is. If you've been through hell for 10 years as a lover of snow, I'm not sure what my life has been. There has been almost a month of continuous snowpack. I've used this to cross country ski for weeks on end, even though I wasn't here for the storm. My kids got to sled, and sled, and sled. Has it been meteorologically incredible given all the cold? Not statistically, no. And no real stormy storms. But why are you aggrieved at some folks around ri getting a few inches more snow than you ytd, but not concomitantly relieved that it hasn't been a non-existent winter like we've had recently. I haven't cracked double digits seasonal snowfall in recent winters! This winter do far is remarkable for one thing - continuous snowpack. It's almost dead. I have enjoyed it immensely for one. I'm not sure what purpose it serves not to.

I'm going to write a strongly worded letter to those responsible.

The sublime expectation of happiness that is happiness itself. Just kidding, it's got to verify.

This is why it's nice to be in this horrible location for snow. Will I get no snow, or no snow? I'm going with... Well, actually, I'm driving up to the Adirondacks again. Good luck.

Id take day after day after day of tundra rather than 95/75. I leave Newport in the heat of the summer for milder weather in northern Spain, and Newport is about as mild as it gets.

Yeah. This is going to be mood snow. Definitely more of interest in sw and long Island but there's a very very low ceiling here.

Gfs is more impressive all around and a lot less flat. If this keeps ticking I can see it being fun on Long Island. Couple more ticks and I might get measurable snow!

Substantially more interesting the more West you go along the coast.

Nobody gets to complain about interminable, muddy, cold springs who isn't in within a few miles of the coast. If the sun doesn't spend 80 percent of every day burning off the pea soup fog, then you don't have it that bad. Not having it. It would be like me complaining about a heatwave at 88 degrees. It's still too hot for me, but I try to think of the less fortunate.

Cross country ski track. I've been doing like 7 km a day a block from my house. But same difference.

The snow is melting super fast here. Don't think my track will make it through the week, even with the nighttime lows. Sun angle is real.

The pond near us has the texture of corrugated roofing. Given I like cross country skiing just as much, and can do it in the uncleared parts, it's a tough ask. Pond hockey enthusiasts are making do. As cold as it has been, nobody has sprung for a Zamboni.

Hasn't been great for pond ice though. Too much snow and wind.

Feels much warmer than it is. Clock is really ticking on winter in the bay, it gets pretty hard for it to snow in March here. The drifting from this last storm was impressive. The cemetery where I have made my cross country ski track is full of four foot drifts, and they're still moving. Absolutely fantastic winter for fun in the snow. Weeks of pack for skiing after years of not cracking double digits and I think I've got a week to go.

5.25 here. I meant to steal the extra .75 from Cumberland but I lost some in transit. Wind is significant on the Pell bridge. Should have accounted for wastage.
