I’ve said it over and over .. you cannot lose the winter month of December and expect to make up for it in Jan and Feb. That’s the worst thought process and you see it over and over here. You have to have winter and snow in Dec. You have 3 winter months . Losing the first one makes it impossible 

And I've said it over and over... more often than not for most of SNE we don't usually get much in December. If we do it's usually the last week or so. If we didn't have this c*ck blocked decent pattern this year it would likely be a different story

If anyone has any final totals from CT, MA, RI let me know. I got a feeling that additional 1-2/1-3 was probably more like C-1. 

2 inches total in Westfield. We've had light rain much of the overnight, so nothing has added. Didn't expect that 

Looks like we're going to end up with 2 inches. What's showing on radar doesn't seem to be translating to the ground. Precip shield looks like it will rotate out of this area soon

Moderate to heavy snow in Westfield the last half hour. Ground is whitening quickly. I'm surprised it's actually accumulating on the driveway just as fast

Huge flakes here in Westfield now. Friend of mine down in Granby Connecticut says they are now all snow and it's just starting to accumulate on some surfaces

Moderate sleet and rain here now with some mangled flakes mixed in. Temperature down another degree. Question is how far does the warm tongue penetrate, or will this change over to all frozen?

We just flipped

That's nice to hear. That means we can't be far behind

I don’t have a good feeling about this part 1 this morning 

Yeah if it's at best a mix here it's going to take a lot of work everywhere else. Next couple hours will be telling once it gets going some more

Rain sleet/something half frozen here and 34 degrees 

Just dropped to 36 here. We'll see how much more it'll drop by morning

Haven't had time to get caught up on this System since very early this morning one thing I've noticed here in Westfield just that it was 42 degrees back at 10:30 am and it's down to 38.5 now

So when do you think things will finally change back to snowy for us? I mean, even the 80s had some big snowstorms so something has to break right eventually, no? Maybe have to wait until next season?

That's a who knows for sure. There were a couple years in the 80s where we had like one decent storm a year and mostly nothing else like 83 and 87. I remember getting a 10 inch storm in 87 and it seeming like 2 feet. 88 through 91 there was almost nothing.

I doubt you could find anything in the '80s that would compare to the rain snow ratio we're now experiencing. 

Again, I said area specific.  We're at about 5 inches rain since Thanksgiving, and about 25 inches of snow. You guys out east have had far more rain than us. We had a couple different winters with big rains in the 80s. Several caused floods like I haven't seen since then on our local roads

My guess is you won’t find a 2 year winter period that had within 10% of total “Winter QPF” as the last 2 with so little % of it leading to accumulating snow for those areas 

Obviously area specific,  but my area has done better with snow the last 3 years than several 80s winters i lived through. Sure maybe we've had a little more rain, but the pattern is quite similar. It sucks that all my old weather diaries were lost in a move, it was all in them

45 minutes ago, ChangeofSeasonsWX said:

Yeah it's crazy how we have had so much precipitation and yet so little of it has fallen as snow. The 1980s were dry but that's pretty much the only difference when it comes down to results. Maybe the 2030s change back to snowy again like the 90s did?

Not necessarily,  we had many a winter where good size storms would come through as pouring rain, and then cold as soon as the storm departed. SO many times the weather Channel 7 day had snow, and you'd slowly watch the forecast maps morph to rain as the storm approached.

Wha? That run neutered the entire state…

True, but doesn't matter at all. Way too early to be looking at the NAM

We didn’t go on the lake, Don’t trust it yet although I just saw 4 come across though.

Good call! Too risky still

Ok that’s funny on the 12z GFS

 

Got that right. Earlier evolutions had it shunted southeast

12Z GFS trying for the Blizz of '78  TRACK on Feb 4th, backs the low right over Long Island. Obviously will change a thousand times between now and then

I know I've been joking about it the past couple days, but the ICON has been pretty rock solid and north. If the models end up converging on it we must give the Germans their due plaudits. 

Great, I'll buy another old VW to celebrate

Here's the 3km for those that asked. Keep in mind that this is only run out to 60 hours and there's more juice to be squeezed.

THIS seems far more realistic with the temps, but we've been surprised before

I'm doing this just for you.

Now post the 3K...
