Go ahead and post a map of all of New England for this storm when we are done.

I missed the big storm too as I was in England for my dad's funeral. Shit happens. Enjoy the snow. Or don't. I'm happy other people are being buried. Eventually we all have our moments. Your climo means you have them more often than all the places you think are "winning" this time.

I mean, if narcissism was a meteorological model, that's what it would look like. We aren't in a race. Nobody is stealing your snow. Mostly you'll do better, as you just arrested to, in a roundabout way.

The rest of those island did not get 6+ inches. None of the East Bay will have, I certainly didn't. I really don't get it. I thought you were into sledding or something. I would have thought being able to do that, for a month straight, due to snow cover would mean you aren't aggrieved.

This band is edging me. Get on with it or I'll drive over to Jamestown.

3.25. was barely not in the very good stuff on the trough, but it looks great. Maybe will get a little more on the backside.

Watching winter Olympics, fat flakes outside. Flu riddled household. I just hope there isn't a suicide in Cumberland.

2" so far. Snowing nicely now, if I can maybe stay under this little band for a while I'll be doing well. It's super pretty, but it's not snowing as hard here as radar would suggest.

It doesn't matter to you at all that's there's been snow to play in for weeks and weeks? I always thought playing in snow was the end game, not a ruler? Persistent snowpack in RI, the bay freezing... My skis are by my backdoor. My snow tube is in my trunk. If I didn't have flu b right now I'd be out tomorrow.

A little too thirsty for the needle dick. It's a very narrow trough. Complaining when you are middle of the road for one random model output in a fairly minor event that's a nowcast? You might do really well? If you don't instead of 7 inches you'll get 4 and it's a pack refresher. There's been a fun amount of snow on the ground for weeks. It's pretty again. We've had more days of feeling like it's actually winter here than since 2015 and it's snowing right now. Where is the anger coming from? This event was always minor bar a very small band.

Narragansett Bay snow hole accurately modeled... Lock it in.

This winter has been relatively boring for me, given I was abroad for the only significant snowfall. That said, the retention of this pack is fantastic, the best I've seen since 2015. Once I smashed through the crust I have a couple nice tracks through the cemetery and am able to cross country ski two weeks after the snowfall, and will be able to for the foreseeable. Sledding hills have been taken for granted and are mostly empty. Today was gorgeous for cross country.

So you got nothing and expected nothing. I got excitement and disappointment and hope and reality and some weather knowledge, and then ultimately nothing. I'm going to keep doing it this way.

The upstream low was closer and weaker than previous runs so it was more lobular and not totally discrete. I still think that whole look would be a bit of a nowcast.

GFS a complete whiff.

Those two bands are two middle fingers pointed squarely at the eastern seaboard.

Two whiffs for the price of one.

I'm still going to watch this, even though I think it's more likely it keeps trending worse at this point. What else am I going to do, face the finality of death?

Wasn't just meh, it's really odd. It suggests near concurrent bombogensis for two competing lows as part of the same energy It then resolves the two into one lobular thing.

Mostly we've seen cape scrapers and they are still mostly cape scrapers. Anyone in extreme SE New England is still very happy. Anyone else is still going to have a watching brief till we get to give up time. Id take many of the current models. I missed this last one and after the last winters with single digit snowfalls, I'm not going to turn my nose up at the prospect of a snow day. Also, all the evolutions still look a little odd and like there's more to be resolved. Could be the resolution is that it's even further offshore, who knows.

You forgot rule four: If I'm in an area less likely to be affected, there is no storm for anyone.

GFS looked nice but I didn't really understand the lobe-y look. I get it being elongated for moisture but I'd expect it to be better organized given how bombed out it is. This would be very have/has not as depicted. It's still so far away. I'll always prefer to dance with the fishes than with ptype. High ceiling still, and yes, it could still just escape.

In which we learn beggars can be choosers.

Hope everyone gets buried. It's killing me I'm not home. Enjoy it, get outside. Get off the screen.

I see the same uncertainty the normal liminal spaces, the floor is just higher. The thing is there's a massive sensible and aesthetic differences between having a snowstorm then rain then some more on top, than having a nice pack. That's how you get that horrible false last stair feeling as a kid as you fall through that layer of hardened ice. Beggars can't be choosers and all that, but I'm sadly sitting this one out, so it's not even that. Oh, and many millions of people live in one of the liminal spaces. More than the entire "we know what we are getting" area combined.
