Not sure, will probably get there. We've been getting some heavier rates as the colder air works in. Probably up to ~3" now.

Nothing too crazy yet. Maybe 2” out there.

Rare winter storm warning for our area:

JB coming out with the 1985 analog. What a joke... IIRC, it was something like -20F with a -50F windchill at Cleveland. There is zero chance of that happening. Must be trying to bail out a buddy who's long $NG.

Looks good. Nice spread the wealth event. Despite the different products (WWA/WSW), shouldn't be a huge gradient north to south.

Wow, central PA getting the screw job there.

Well, a second interpretation of the fact that most recent years are below trend is that the trendline isn't capturing all of the variation and there may have been a recent acceleration.

I'm really interested in what evidence the people "weenieing" this statement of fact have in rebuttal. Because over my lifetime, this has clearly been the case. Here is the last 35 years of data from a diverse assortment of locations. Snowfall has plummeted, especially in lake effect and upslope areas, where a simple linear trend implies snowfall has been cut in half since 1990 (see, e.g., Cleveland and Elkins, W. Va.). I'm sure they'll complain about the start date - but the 1990s were considered mild at the time, with people pining for the snowier/colder 60s and 70s and comparing it to the so-called "cyclical warming" of the 1930s and 40s. This period also covers the bulk of my lifetime and with consistent procedures for snow measurements. Cleveland, Ohio Charleston, W. Va. Elkins, W. Va. Syracuse, NY Boston, MA Rochester, NY

Snowfall is rapidly decreasing, except for high latitudes.

Blockbuster season out there:

Wow! The "Mark Model" has an incredible 2-4 inches areawide (except a bit less along the Mon Valley), with up to 6" closer to I-80 and along the ridges. Somebody better alert the NWS.

Wow. A couple inches of wet snow timed for morning commute would be quite the surprise!

Severe weather outbreak?

They'll be okay. They got the kids glove treatment by the Committee.

I wouldn't completely rule it out at this point.

Our yards might be muddy, but rivers and streams are at or near record low flowrates for the date. Hence also why many lakes and reservoirs have fallen, with even larger uncontrolled (or limited control) lakes (Lake Seneca and Lake Champlain) experiencing low levels not seen in decades back in September and October.

Very myopic view.

What happened to @LibertyBell? Has he posted recently?
