The issue is they're all cutting back. Plus the closer in we get to go time, each model run is is more accurate than the last. It's not like having a bad run 5 days before the storm. It's supposed to start snowing in 24 hrs.
At this point, just gotta keep things from trending SE. That MegaSWFE in JAN didn't start tending north until there was only a couple days to go. We just don't know.
I think we can add 2 things to the Fraud Five: coastals that hit the whole region, and run of the mill SWFEs that hit the whole region. Those SWFEs that set up a front along 495/pike/84 with rain SE of that line and 10" of pork snow on the NW side. Used to be so common place 20 years ago.
We really haven't gotten many mixed events this year. It's either been AllSnow or all rain since Turkey day.
Getting 8" of snow and then a quarter inch of rain with a big freeze after used to be very common.
@HoarfrostHubbmeh here. Thought we'd have a school delay but roads were fine. They did plow at least. Too bad it didn't come in during morning rush, could have WFH.
@Damage In Tollanddo you think with this continued stein, it could set us up with a nice spring inferno potential? Those super dry, sunny, and windy April days can be dangerous.
Good winter overall. The mild ups between middle of DEC to middle of JAN were disappointing during the middle of the season, along with not getting a few more SWFEs.
That storm was so insane lol. Highest rates and totals I've ever seen, and it was pure cement. It was almost too much, got my plow truck stuck horribly. Also lost power.
