Of course this happens now and not a month earlier. Though I guess we could say that about half of our April dystopia storms. Happening now is more classic "wheel of 'rhea"....we might as well relive May 2005 for a few days coming up.
-
Yeah, though the 2019 pattern never looked like this one on ensembles...this was looking like 2015 for a while. 2019 was more like a better-looking gradient pattern late Jan and into February, with maybe a few spikes in the PNA mixed in....something like Feb 2014 which would have worked.

Probably the most disappointing aspect of this winter for a snow lover is the utter failure of model guidance in mid January. They were all signaling a massive shift to an extremely favorable pattern for New England around 1/20 and beyond. Then it just abruptly and completely disintegrated on model guidance inside of about 7-8 days...it wasn’t even a case of “oh it’s 12 days out”. It actually made it to like a week out when ensembles have pretty good skill in the longwave pattern.

1992 Dodge Caravan....probably the most classic "mom car" of the 1990s.

23 years ago today:

23 years ago I had about 33 inches.

Nice firehose on the NAM...too bad it wasn't 3 weeks earlier, lol.
-
Heh, we've had a few Memorial Day weekends and Junes in recent memory with highs in the 40s. I don't think we ever bother with AC until mid June at the earliest.

"Hartford area" is the threaded record...it uses the old site until 1954 and then after 1954 all those values are from BDL.

What about 3/4 last year? That was like over a foot down there wasn’t it?

Had some really loud thunder a while ago while relaxing out on the back porch (enclosed and a wood stove) with a scotch in hand. Sometimes you just gotta appreciate nature and this virus crap has been a good way to find that escape more than usual.

1. BOS departures should probably less less than the other more interior stations given how cool BOS was during those torch days earlier this month. 2. Despite the above, it doesn’t make up for it. According to MADIS they still might be running about a degree too cold. We will see where it settles in the next couple months. We have a small sample right now.

BOS should def be cooler than the others given the type of pattern this month, but it doesn’t account for all of it. Looks like it could be running a degree or so too cold. We still have a small sample of the new readings on MADIS so we’ll see where it settles over the next several months.

He moves the goalposts well. Look at the original post: Now somehow a bit of green showing up on my grass with everything else still completely brown verifies that description. Clearly all that other stuff is not “everywhere”. It’s in some places. It’s kind of like when he’s pimping 8-12” of snow and everyone else is saying 4-8”...he will see one or two lollis of 8-9” and say “AWT” even though most people still had less than 8”.

Well when something is empirically false, it tends to get pushback on a science forum.
-
It looks like a nuclear crater here...exception is a few stray crocuses and maybe a little green on the tips of the grass. Just took these at sunset
-
Next week could come back if that first ULL hangs around long enough...Euro almost tried to phase that into the main shortwave approaching. But yeah, then it basically spins near us for days and we wait for more shortwaves. Pretty much ka-ka....maybe a few nicer days mixed in if we can avoid the self-destructing sun.

Hey I let him off the hook by not responding to his double or nothing snowfall bet....another advantage-heavy bet. Give me a little credit for some empathy.
-
I’m getting thirsty...
-
Marginal airmass....but definitely worth watching.
-
There might be more than one chance in the early April period....that is a beast of a block.
-
Definitely need to keep an eye around 4/1-4/2 with that huge blocking in place. Most likely won't end up a big deal....but can't rule it out.
-
Definitely some support for it on ensembles. Obviously a lot of things would have to go right.
-
Another threat 4/1-2?
-
I should have taken Kevin's double or nothing bet for measurable snow too....but I wanted to make sure he was still solvent to pay up on his first bet.
