NOAA just tweeted viz sat - looks pretty good already!!!!

I remember a March storm when I was in high school at Barlow in Redding, I lived in Easton - I was probably the most south student as I lived on Easton - Fairfield town town by Smith Richardson golf course. I woke up to white rain and a slush coating on grass and nothing on roads so I got ready for school. Drove up Sport Hill Rd. (rt. 59) and quickly there was more than just a slushy coating, but still the roads were fine so I kept going.  Get to the Easton/Redding line by the Connecticut Country club and things went sideways. Inches of snow and very sketchy roads. I drove the Barlow because I had never listened for closures due to my house being just white rain. I almost got stuck at Barlow and school had been canceled. Went back home and still white rain. It was bizarre and this storm smacks of that.

If you are anywhere west of the track you are going to pound snow 

Hoping for that down here in Trumbull Town.

Same here in Central E CT, I’m thinking 5-6 while Kev has the potential for higher amounts.

Could be a longitude deal - here in Trumbull maybe we do well while people even in NE corner get slop? I've seen that - albeit rarely. I remember a storm when I was in Lowell where it rained for the eastern third of Mass and I came home and we had like a foot here in CT.

Well... I start threats for interesting signals and the prospect of interesting Meteorology - nothing else. 

I always have.   Frankly... since no one in modernity really advocates for others in this day and age, I will say this on my own behalf, I think my record over the years is clad.  

What did I put in bold at the beginning of this thread, "A major event is not a declarative here; however, we are in a highly prone scenario between the 10th and 15th of the month.  The idea for this is an early thread for general awareness"

I'm not sure how that warrants reproach and bad rep but ... this is often like the rabble below the balcony of an old English courtyard ...packed with throngs of "super enlightened" thinkers ...

I'm not getting on you for starting the thread!!! Im just talking about the general frustration for us winter weather enthusiasts - I enjoy reading your about your thoughts more than most on this site.  No reproach coming from me.

Whaaa   lol

I really have only started 3 ...maybe 4 threads this whole season.  One covered an event that resulted in a N/A historic bomb.  The other was the snow storm that just impacted parts of the forum .. .and now this one,.  

I think the winter its self was cooked from the start.  Not many reasons to start threads.

I all started with Lucy yanking the football a few days before Christmas - all shite since. In fact I've been basically checked out since that kick in the jumblees.

Ha, I know where you live!  I've walked my dog past your house and seen the Rangers on your TV many times.

Now wait a second - now I need to close my blinds!!!

Wish I were in Tahoe!!! Epicosity 

I’ve totally checked out this winter after X Mas fail. All about my New York Rangers and Giants - Red Sox had about as a winter as their home town so I’m checking out from them as well.

Might want to change the name of the thread - chuck the bigger snow plow for … hmmm …. Sand bags? …. Row boat?  …. Bilge pump? Just a thought. So damn frustrating.

And this on Christmas week!!! I feel like a kid again!!!! Magic!!!

I just did it, I said yesterday that I wouldn't - I talked about this potential with a fellow skier.  Damn I hope I didn't jinx it.

All right well stepping away from the psycho convention and back to reality, the look ahead to me is finally something where I haven’t felt quite this good in a while.

Indeed!!!

Just don’t get out over your skis - your obviously a snow enthusiast like myself. Just take in the experience of the meteorological minds here more. Sure post - that’s why we all are here - but don’t let your snow goggles color the truth.

And I hope we get feet of snow too!!!

I’m trying to think of ways to debunk that but I can’t. Goddamn it man, you just debunked all those posts I made about it snowing east of the low with one sentence. Hell, that even explains why my March 1993 example doesn’t apply, the ocean temps are much warmer than they are in March. I’ll admit it, I was wrong to not be concerned about the track of the storm. To be fair, in my defense the Euro did show snow east of the 960mb low in Central PA even if it wasn’t for my area.

Mar ‘93 was an epic one too. Esp considering how primitive models were back then. 

Geoff Fox on WTNH New Haven nailed that from beyond his five day if I remember correctly. Never in specifics but in a 'watch out for next week' kinda way.

Was just messing around with ya…cuz you mentioned that you had to contain your excitement, and not talk it up.  As soon as you said that, GFS went way out east. 

All good - I totally got it. I thought the same thing when I saw that GFS post like 200 miles (or 500??) wide right.

' The gyro - you know that greek lunch time treat!!!'

Love what I see for next week - I have to try to contain myself. Every time I talk up the models I put the jinx on the threat, plus everyone looks at me sideways "the GF what? The yoro - wasn't that a car in the 80's from Yugoslavia?"

Boxing Day did have it and lost it but it didn’t bring it back until 48 hours out or even less. It was 12z GFS on 12/24 that went nuts and HPC tossed it, lol…then it quickly became apparent at 18z that it had scored a coup as NAM went bonkers and then I think RGEM did (before 18z GFS confirmed the 12z run wasn’t a random model blip)

That's right - the NAM was thought of as the blind squirrel finding a nut.

Apparently it wasn't, maybe I'm thinking 2015? This is according to Will, and we all know he has some kind of weather pack to Google implant in his brain. The man can recall events 30 years ago on a dime

I think Boxing Day did the ole 'early signal - lost the signal - then brought it back' like 72 hours out. That was a trend there for a while IIRC

Wasn't 2013 like that also iirc

Was just thinking this same thing.
