New entry for "family member". She insists that the snow is 12" deeper at elderly neighbour house next door because it's up to her waist there. And the justifications is it happens all the time in the summer when it's raining and places across the street are dry there is no convincing her otherwise lmao.
I have a perfect 1" on top of the older snow that has fallen over the last 18 or so hours giving me a new total 24"
Can't believe I am saying four days of snow
and just when I was pulling for the mild February and early spring that was predicted because of circumstance, all heck breaks loose because of a SSW event and here I go down a February 2014 repeat ay caramba!
A different setup with the primary motoring NE with no stall vs a low sitting at the coast with time to throw mild air inland. But I don't care I just got snow.
Five days out and the euro is the only major showing big snow quite a difference from the last one, although the para isn't out yet and it had a medium event at 6z
That region had been snake bit since the 2010 winter, I pointed it out so many times I got tired of pointing it out lol. A weird probably one in 200 year anomaly you can be thankful has ended.
20" as of 10:45
Moderate snow and 30F
4th storm for me of 20"
make that the 5th there was that strange thunderstorm snowstorm in I believe it was March 1987 that dumped 2' of snow in the early morning hours in what
must have been insane rates I slept through every flake.
We seem to be in a new phase the last four winters of closer primary lows. The eight years before that we had distant coastal lows and Jersey/extreme SE PA repeatedly smashed it. Must be a cycle.
Our snow is like having to get all the parts of an engine together to run it only takes one thing off. There was no way of anticipating the primary would be kissing the Jersey coast and that moved the goal posts.
