Ya, I find it hilarious he said the Icon.  Like the icon is something to consider. 

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I put more stock in the CMC or mid trance NAM for trends over the ICON

Correct.  

 

The icon? Lol. 

LOL is right,  same as citing the NAM at this range... without caveats

1989 is so glaring on that.  I had a job over that winter semester break working at a fish hatchery in Nashua, tagging salmon fry.  That was fun

We had several houses to rough wire, two of them in Riverton. We had days we couldn't pull romex because it would crack. One of my MOST miserable times at work ever

In my view, the 2"+ that I have is a bonus....I didn't expect anything yet. I bet most would feel the same had they not been focused on the southern mid atl.

Bonus for sure IMO, for MBY area. Anything before the end of the month has always been seen as a bonus to me. I wonder how many who whine about it are quite a bit younger. Heading towards, 60 I've seen more than my share of duds in SNE!

2 degrees at the house this morning. Minus 1 in Southwick. Snow pack certainly helps

Yo Yo on the GFS regarding this weekend. Weak sauce again. Like I said yesterday, don't like a run,   wait til the next

Because it's Christmas.

It does appear that the GrinchFS is slowly changing its tune on that. Wouldn't surprise me considering so far they've all been muted

Just like last week .. sigh 

They're quite a bit more last week, and a little further east... but I wouldn't mind another inch. Saturday morning was kind of a surprise

A bit noisier than my 5 minutes of broom work on 1.4" fluff.

I used the Milwaukee blower on rabbit mode to blow our one inch Sunday morning. It's amazing how much force some of these new blowers have

Well yesterday you loved the storm 12th-13th and felt great about it. So we lost that , lost the clipper Wednesday and now looking at Grinch .. oh man 

Just wait a run or two. We have no idea whats happening 5 plus days from now. Every run is a different roll of the dice. Just look for signals. I still say most Decembers where I grew up (Granby) were nearly snowless until at least Christmas, aside from a dusting here or there. I find it unusual to have 3 inches OTG here right now

we continue to trend out west

That's what we want to see at this point. Models keying in on signals, but won't lock on to an actual possible storm for several days. Let's keep that trend. On another note, I wonder how much of our warming is caused by excessive flatulence due to excessive beer consumption?

Down to 4 at home in Westfield. A friend in Southwick currently at 2. I'm pissed I wasn't able to finish my re insulation project at home before winter hit, hopefully next heating season it'll be complete.

That is an absolute shit 6z GFS. I’m starting to get annoyed 

Euro isn't quite buying... until near Christmas. Don't worry, GFS after day 3 just rolls the dice and spits out B.S. solutions anyway. Wait 36 hours, it'll probably show a K.U.

I hopped off the plane at BTV
With a dream and my Reindeer cardigan
Welcome to the land of snow excess (whoa)
Am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in the Sube, here I am for the first time
Look to my right, and I see the Hardwick sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so mapley

My tummy's turning and I'm feeling kinda sick
Too much artisan cheese and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Noah Kahan song was on
And a Noah Kahan song was on
And a Noah Kahan song was on

So, I put my hands up
They're playing my song, the butterflies fly away
I'm nodding my head like, yeah
Moving my hips like, yeah
I got my hands up, they're playing my song
They know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the N.E.K.
Yeah, it's a party in the N.E.K.

 

Get to the lodge in my subaru
Everybody's looking at me now
Like, "Who's that chick that's rocking kicks?
She gotta be from out of town"
So hard with my girls not around me
It's definitely not a flatland party
'Cause all I see are boots
I guess I never got the memo

My tummy's turning and I'm feeling kinda homesick
Too much craft beer and I'm nervous
That's when the DJ dropped my favorite tune
And a Phish song was on
And a Phish song was on
And a Phish song was on

So, I put my hands up
They're playing my song, the butterflies fly away
I'm nodding my head like, yeah
Moving my hips like, yeah
I got my hands up, they're playing my song
They know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the N.E.K.

Yeah, it's a party in the N.E.K.

LOL!! And, Subie... you're talking Forester, right?

Looks like we hit 6 here, reading 8 now. it's gonna hurt bringing the trash out this A.M.!

Gonna have to dig into the archives to find the last time we had lows in the single digits the first week of December.

Lot of nickel and dimes but it wouldn’t take much to get a little heftier on one of them. The Dec 11-12 could end up bigger. 

Nickle and dimes are fine if we keep pumping them in, and manage a few decent size events as in 1995-'96.  Is that too much to ask for...

Really that's going to be the challenge  ...

I realize I hit at this aspect a lot and probably it's getting on nerves, I dunno  - folks don't seem to acknowledge they understand, or perhaps they don't give a shit. LOL   either way ...

but the fastness of the basal velocity, is also matched by the fact that embeded S/W are torpedoing at huge speeds relative to planetary climate.  We're seeing them enter B.C. and exit the EC of N/A in like 60 hours.  It's very physically challenging to get streams to resonate with that circumstantially going on.  

But that said, it doesn't mean it can't just be enough... or perhaps slow down even ( thus allowing more harmonics), if the non-linear +PNA ( which is in fact bursting in that time range - mentioned this earlier to Southcoast' ) becomes more linearly expressed. 

This morning ... as I glanced over the overnight largely disappointing cinemas, it occurred to me just how fantastic the overall B-C gradient is over our side of the hemisphere.  Perhaps more raw potential explosive power, untapped, than I've ever seen since becoming aware of this shit back in 1990+ ...  But there's shot-gun pellet S/W that are all having trouble resonating and are just blasting past one another.  We just need the large wave scales to curve more - which they are challenged to do ( again..) because the speed saturation.

Acknowledged captain haha. I hear you... and yes we all do. My question is, do you believe this is strictly an east coast storm issue? The reason I ask is that we see plenty of tight phasing pretty much anywhere still. Seriously, not trying to be an ass.. just curious

The northern part of the Pioneer Valley maybe did a little bit better than that.  Lots of 5”-6.5” reports around Greenfield and Montague. 

 

We had 5 in Westfield. My nephew in Granville had 6.25

I can take getting ram rodded in the shed . It happens with wx and I get it. Usually I find some way to get at least some snow or ice here. 32 point something all day with rain . But this one spread both cheeks wide open , and inserted the weed whacker and then turned it on. 

Probably because those jogging shorts make it far easier for the weed wacker to reach its intended target

EPS trying to really mute the mid-month torch. No real coherent threats, but a lot of buckshot on the ensembles....I suppose 12/9-10 still has a bit of the clipper/redeveloper sig, but not super strong. It has a system right on its heels...another stronger clipper...could morph into a SWFE....or just be a glorified FROPA. Way too early to really care. 

 

 

The pattern seems like it's about to recycle what we've just gone through the past two or three weeks, it's not sure what exactly to focus on yet but there's lots of players on the field at least. Let's hope climo help some others out as we move forward. AND I need to stop typing and get some sleep! I'm not even sure if what I'm typing makes any sense

But maybe they compacted? Maybe every 6 hrs tells the story.

We saw that here in westfield. If you straight measured it like I usually do... I know it's not the right way, then we had about 4.75". The other half measured it right and I can't remember because I'm dead tired from plowing all night but it was more than that here. I think he said around 6"

the ignore button is your friend. Put him on ignore like I just did and you won't have to read his bitching and moaning about everything.

the ignore button is your friend. Alternatively, DON'T READ his posts.

 

 

Honestly, reading posts that are bitching about other people bitching brings the quality of the forum down the shitter.

So, someone can bitch... but we can't respond?? Makes no sense. If you're going to have one, you've got to have the other EDIT: I should add, it's taken me a very, very long time but I'm starting to realize it's part of the fun here

This stuff is super saturated down here in simsbury. There's about 3 in but now it's totally waterlogged. Feels more like I'm plowing the Ocean than somebody's driveway

Heaviest snow I've seen all day so far now in westfield. 100% snow again here. Heading out now to hit the plow route in Simsbury
