I remember the almost 4 foot pack we had in Randolph on Feb 7, 1978 was mostly gone by the end of the month. And that wasn't really fluff either. No real arctic cold followed the storm as I remember.
It was just my prediction for the upcoming January, nothing to do with climate change. Climatic normal meaning more snow for NNE and less for SNE. Just predicting some record snows for NNE and not much for SNE, compared to normal. I'm not trying to take your snow away.
I wasn't talking about "climate change". I was talking about the return to normalcy for snowfalls in New England, where those big SNE snowfall years were an aberration, as were those lackluster years in NNE.
Merry Christmas everyone. My feeling is that we are diverting to the climatic normal, where the peeps in NNE will be dominating these pages with record snows while we here in SNE will be lining up at the Tobin. JMO...
3K Nam has me freezing or below at all levels during the meat of this, from 15z Sat to 01z Sun, with .50 qpf, so I'm figuring 4-5" of snow if the 3k is right. Or is that too optimistic?
UK seemed to consolidate the lows this run as opposed to 12z with the dual lows at 96 hr. I think it will move further NW the next run. Still was a better solution than 12z.
Of course they are. I did leave the clown range caveat, but a bit more consistency over a 12 hour period would be welcomed. If solutions can be that different, why even bother going beyond 240 hrs? What's the point?
