I'd rather it be torch like and get it out of the way so the pattern can flip. Last year, things were pointing to an awesome winter. Not just by some, but by almost all of the major Meteorologists. We did have a great start as I had about 12" from a storm that lasted 3 days 12/1-12/3. Than on the 12/11 we had a another 4". After that..... Hardly enough to even whisper about. So... I'm not writing anything off this year. It's nothing at all like last year at this point, and even looking ahead to the next several weeks it's not like last year. The setup is different, so the chances are high that we see something different this year. I'm expecting about average for last year we were way below average

As I said before....Last year turned out completely opposite than what was expected. Our local MET's in Connecticut all had the same forecasts for the winter.... Snowy and colder. But..what ruined it was the positive NAO. It was so strong that it never let the cold air come down to the U.S.. Poeple are gun-shy and bitter from what happened last year. Ok, there is hope that we can have a better Winter here in the Northeast, but, even I have my hesitations ( althoigh I'm not totally off it being a decent Winter here in SNE either ). The excitement is still there for me ( as it allways had been for my 48 years of life ), when it comes to the weather. It's always throwing out a curve ball. I'm hopeful we will get that curve ball thrown at us, all it takes is that " ONE " storm. So for those of you who are bitter and have lost that excitment and hope..... Breathe and wait. Something is bound to happen that will suck you all back in.

My issue is that the winter master was supposed to be a blockbuster winter, which was forecasted by many meteorologists. We want of having a crappy winter. So I'm not worrying about what they're saying at this point as things can change in a heartbeat

Just saw this from Henry H

I'm not too worried. It's already going right back up. As long as the Nao goes negative December through March at least a few times we're set

So.. What he is trying to say is that some sort if Winter season is coming.

I'd say we did real well

I have to say, I am very confused on what exactly looks to happen here in northern Connecticut. As long as it is NOT like last year ( early December was awesome though ) the rest of the year sucked, then I will be happy. Plus... It only takes 1 great snowstorm or Blizzard to make the season feel like it was a good one. I have learned though ( last year was a good example ) not to take a forecast to heart as it will and does change. Almost every media forum, meteotologist, were calling for stellar Winter conditions here in Southern New England, and they all had mud on their face by late January when they realized that it was not coming to fruition. So, I always keep faith as thongs can and do change from week to week.

Still showing snow in ct?

Are we here in interior CT still in the game for some snow chances? It seems the pattern may favor something coming up in the next week or 2 ( and I know its a stretch with where we are in the time of year ).

For when? Wednesday night?

Says who LOL. It's been better than the GFS and the GFS has been horrendous with fantasy snowstorms every single week for 10 days out and they never came to fruition. The Euro has been more consistent in the sense of not showing that same thing. So I respectfully disagree with you on that statement. Just looking at the facts

Not sure where you are, but, here in Plainville CT...the peepers were out last night. Not all...but plenty singing their mating calls.

Not sure what your referring to? Next Friday? Nothing mentioned for then? I know it's gonna get cold next Sunday though.

Any snow to come with that extreme change?

Like a norlun trough? Where does it show the inverted trough going through. Does it come through the Hartford CT area?

Is this a different storm for the 17th?

He's checked out a while ago, yet, he can't seem to leave. Lol

Hard to believe your still posting. I thought you gave up winter in the beginning of February. You have no power here.... Lol

Although it's very disappointing that the winter ended the way it did in Southern New England, these Winters do happen and it has been a long time since it's been this bad. So we were due. Let's just look at it as we got it out of the way and things are looking up for next year. It can't get much worse LOL I'm ready for spring and summer. I'm truly done and over with this winter.

Yes. I to have succumbed to Winter being over. I look at it this way. We are more likely to have a better winter, and are even closer to our next blizzard next year!!

I fix what I wrote. I meant to say I wouldn't. But that was from the run last night not today's 12z

I wouldn't say it's an inland Runner. It's running up and just over Southeastern Connecticut into Southeastern Mass. But isn't that better than it was showing yesterday where was it even further? Damn, can't take all you negative Nellies. Lol

Stop

Well, let's hope that this is an every 30 year type of thing. I am definitely one of the snow lovers. But, I have to come to this season just being what it is. If we get a surprise in March, I will be happy. If not, I'm okay with that, too.
