STILL N OF PIKE

No but heh. 
I seriously just read that. 
… it’ll be an interesting challenge for this mid month  

I think the  immediate coastal plain from Boston south to cape then back Sw along RI and CT coast I think has suffered the same fate . Doing it during one of the wetter two year winter periods  is really a special way to run a rat there . Just continuous kicks to the winter weenie till They just lie there in a stupor looking for a 384 hr maps to keep their pulse going

So it’s been 707 days since Logan saw 4” of snow in 24 hrs?

 

 Are you looking to entice weenie angst lol

Forget the weird coastal, what is that I see rolling out of the plains of Canada and slashing across the Midwest, resolute and sturdy, sailing along as if it were a vessel designed for speed? I propose we call it a Saskatchewan Schooner, I think fitting, given its behavior. 

Edibles, Bourbon or shrooms

Which I believe ain’t even close to a record interestingly enough. 

Really? I’d say it’s close

Of your 69K posts on here I'd have to wager about 65K of them revolve around the bolded sentence

It’s resulted in a 700 Day wait since he’s seen a 2” daily snowfall

I mean aren’t we already doing that? Green hydrogen, carbon capture and underground storage, switching to renewables, etc. 

No none of them are at scale because no one wants to pay for them. 

Two problems exist:

1. Whole economies are dependent on fossil fuels. 
2. The Paris Agreement was signed with the ambitious goal of 1.5C…. Well guess what… as Tip mentioned, the planet is basically telling us we’re already there.

So while today’s solutions aren’t the extremes you are thinking of, large scale climate engineering is all happening, it’s just not happening fast enough.

So I suppose in the end you Re correct, we’ll probably drop a nuke into Krakatoa. 

There is a third problem 

For any changes to actually take hold and gain stream  they have to be profitable and wide spread 

The majority of the worlds population that contributes to Carbon emissions already has food and shelter needs that are not met . I.E if you are a parent of a child you will do anything in your power that helps your kids survival , if you could feed and shelter your child in exchange for  pressing a button that releases a huge plume of co2 you would do it (if you are living in poverty) the alternatives to fossil fuels are more expensive and business sure won’t try to lower their profit margins for the “environment” . So with this being the case nobody in poverty living day to day and month to month has CC as a issue on their radar , especially when the fixes are more expensive and lower their ability to take care of their loved ones . This also goes for many poorer folks in G7 countries where their wealthier citizens have the privilege to “help” . If the current alternatives were forced on the world , I wonder if folks who have the privilege to do their part realize the poor (majority of globes population ) would have growing mortality rates from inflation and lack of ability to get around .

Any transition and alternatives would need to be subsidized by governments and the alternatives lower priced for widespread adoption . That is not even getting into wether the major contributors to emissions , one being the military industrial complex would ever take the risks of alternative powered vehicles when lives are on the line . Not that change isn’t needed but it would be messy and  cost a ton of lives on net (of people in poverty) which Is sort of not mentioned bc it would lower higher socioeconomic G7 folks (who are caring ) support

We may need a 5 clowns per day limit.

We used to see maybe one or two posts a day regarding these time frames and just wait till they got inside a reliable range

It’s pretty incredible to have only 2 days of the month exceed 40F… but yet be at +8.1 for a departure.  We’ve had snow cover basically the whole time it feels like, like the type of snow that makes you want to follow the previous footsteps.  But +8 is a big departure.  

Definitely an anomaly 

For a while I thought the global warming hype was really altering the headlines to a great degree that made me question the warming in general ,  it’s pretty clear that doing big warm anomalies isn’t really surprising now at all , it seems pretty common place , especially in the Colder months . Granted it maybe Easier to put up big positive departures in winter but they are still eye opening to me . I don’t want to overstate This , but it is “significant”

My main question is Let’s see if the pacific one again turns into something less and less favorable as we get from day 14+  to day 10 and more so inside day 7 , bc it almost reminds me of how last year heights kept being too high in the SW only to fall as we got Inside day 6-10 and shift a very good look To a so so one that worked for up and in . 

This is not me * looking for the shoe * to drop it’s really just picking up on what seems to be a trend this year regarding the pacific look deteriorating from day 15+ to inside day 7-10 on multiple occasions and wonder if there is something “in place” that i’m not astute enough to identify that models can’t identify (at this lead ) which favors such a future shift 

One final Charlie Brown episode should do it 

One of the rare winter days when it was cloudy and didn’t get above freezing . Felt like a miracle

I'm tired of looking at 300 plus snow maps

You have no choice ,

it’s become therapeutic To some , there have probably been 20 or so that showed snow for NYC from hours 275 -384 the last two years and 0 that do at go time 

Wolfie you should take you own advice and log off when nothing is going on and nothing is forecast to for 14 days , there is really nothing going on for days and all you Are gonna be is frustrated and then replying to people who are complaining the winter sucks . There is literally no upside for you 

I plan on doing the same as there isn’t much to talk about

I think at this point, even though there is overwhelming evidence that we're going to flip into a favorable, potentially favorable pattern around the 15th, there's no more point in saying it, because you'll get get trolled or ignored. just need to wait a week and see what's going to happen. it's gotten so bad lmao

Overwhelming evidence at day 15+ , So again what level of predictability are we talking here   (and not on a relative basis) 

I’m sincerely asking , bc I don’t think it’s worth much till it’s inside 10 days and that is why people are trolling it bc it’s *inherently not valuable regarding predictability * at 15 days + 

I also don’t think winter is over lol and I’m not trying to rush 45 degree drizzle days in Ne mass thru April

It’s around the time the MJO is going into phase 8....I think there's a pretty good chance for a decent pattern in 2nd half of February, but obviously nobody will care if ti doesn't produce a big dog, lol

I would care if it actually produces a favorable below normal temperature period AND troughing in the east. I don’t need a big dog . Seems the below normal temps is the part that just doesn’t seem to be believable last 2 years . Granted I won’t mind if the mountains cash but I’d like the CP to be in the game if it’s actually a favorable period 

ASH is at the top of the weenie band going into mass 

Yesterdays report showed Whistler had 62” depth at top and 2” at bottom . Lol

Light snows at home in Nashua 33

never seen so much 33F and 32F snow incidents as last two years 

Borderline damage around 500-650’ in Wilton NH.. some power lines dropping , light branches down 

Then at Miller state park there was 8” settled on a bench @1500’

For what it’s worth trees look more caked on route 3 in Nashua from exit 5 north

They did well on the margins, but way too light in the banding/elevations. Some of those were giving AFN 2-3". Some kind of  combo is probably the best. Maybe using them as the lower end of a forecast range. 

 

I’m going to hike Miller state park at noon . I’m interested to see what they got and what they have at 2200’ and especially if this is winter’s last hurrah for a while

Solid stripe in there from DAW to AFN of 7-9”+

Nice job

you basically called it as that area was along and just North the 7H low

When winters were winters. Walking across the Sound instead of walking into it. 

 

That last paragraph is wild . People walked across the sound from Long Island to CT

I’d prefer Stein April but yeah, looks boring. 

I mean at some point I suppose it was inevitable that the gravy train of QPF would be shut off

The Huge QPF is also what made extreme S CT snowfall anomalies the last 2 winters pretty much epic rats to me 

Much easier to rat with normal to below normal QPF
