I think snow goggles went on right after the snow in November...I usually do not have them on, but after getting 8 inches + hearing all of the forecasts for cold and snowy 200%+ in snowfall for the area, they were on. But reality started to set in and patience wore out, thus leading to the melts and attitude seen on the boards over the past few weeks...On that note, the GFS is cutter, followed by cutter, followed by cutter........

100% chance of bare, frozen ground along with a 50% chance of ice quakes.....

Sorry, meant it more as a chuckle than as a Debbie....

and somehow at 162 hours, the GFS will nail the forecast....This winter can't end soon enough, lol

Well the GFS for next week is what this winter has been, snows in the south but the timing allows for us to either whiff or rain...

And some how next week will find a way to snow in the Mid Atlantic leaving us with Monday's dustings and a few days of frigid air...only to repeat a few days later

I admit that it has been tough, but things are looking better next week. Canada is frigid and looks to remain that way for sometime and the steady stream of moisture is still there. It's not like it is bone dry or roasting....

Until I am shoveling more than 3 inches of snow, I wont believe anything. I have had a total of 5 inches since November 15th, if it were up to the models, even the EURO I would have had 70 inches by now. I would take a SWFE at this point and be happy....

It looks like another one lining up right afterwards...could be quite the active period coming up....

Kind of beautiful, just 6 days to go....something has to give right?

So we have the EURO hugging and the GFS doing the GFS thing offshore with a crazy Norlun...we might actually have something this time....

GFS has a SWFE, nothing like the EURO....If it shows something similar then maybe we have something, the EPS wasn't too excited either....we shall see

This season it seems the EURO has one of those solutions where the Kuchera shows a widespread 12-24 inches storm for a run or two, the GFS is warm and wet and eventually the EURO loses it and we rain...63 feels great outside

I agree, let's keep it warm until Friday...Hoping to go out on top the last few weeks of the winter. There is at least a glimmer of hope coming from the EURO and other pieces of guidance for next week. But we know how that has gone this year...

Is this a similar situation even down here like the last one? Most models had us getting well above freezing, but in the end 32.5 was all we could get to. We ended up with 30% of our town without power from that storm, prefer not to repeat that. I think we had about .4" accretion...

Hit 64 here! It was 80 in the greenhouse, sauna in there. Garlic sprouted in there last week despite the frigid temps outside, the sun is now doing its dirty work...

Pushing 62 here under full sun...maybe another 2 hrs of heating left to go, forecast was 56 as of this morning and last nights forecast was for 51 I believe.

Makes sense, even though we don't have any snow on the ground. Around here it is like a giant ice cube melting, so much moisture that froze solid with the last two arctic outbreaks. It is going to look like Oregon when it finally warms up.

I saw there are air quality advisories in Philly/Baltimore areas?! What is this July? Even at 30 degrees this morning the air almost had a hazy look to it, not really fog. I could smell the scent of a skunk and quite the vocal chorus of song birds. Something you would see/hear in April or May and you just knew the temps were going to spike as soon as the sun took over. Maybe it has something to do with that circulation down in the Carolinas, mixing in some of that air from down south. Already 51/40 out there and the forecast is for 56.....

Kids are on the back porch, screen door is open and it is 47 degrees. It does feel lovely, it almost smells like spring....I am almost ready

I know it has been tough to look past 3 days, let alone 7 days, but that period from Feb 11th to the 13th might be the first legit shot at getting some snow around here. It has been on and off on the OP and Ensembles for a few days now. A nice 3-6 inch snowfall would be nice at this point....

Just when I was coming to terms with this winter sucking, facebook reminded what it looked like 4 years ago...

And this will solution will lock in and not change...we cant even get back to back long to mid range fantasy storms up here, unreal.

This!....if it is going to be a ratter, at least make it nice and warm...nothing like burning tons of oil with a dusting on the ground that ends up sublimating.

Hopefully New England's winter is like the Patriots games/playoffs, mediocre until it counts....
