0.5 miles from the Canadian border Looking toward Jay peak near Newport center. Took about 3 hours and 40 minutes to get to Montpelier. Been better to Rutland. 3 hrs still to go

Have a map of 3 or 4 pm? Actual totality is at 3:30

I am planning on going up Rt 100 in Vt from Rochester tmrw morning towards a spot just nw of Newport. Thoughts on traffic, clouds?

Weather is absolutely miserable in Long Island. 39 degrees with 30 degree wind chill and pouring rain

Just kind of a random question: Do models take into consideration snow-cover enhanced radiational cooling when forecasting temperatures? Its hard to know which forecasts to pay attention that do.

I'm sketched out about this storm living in northern long island. Good chance it could be the first big storm that turns all rain in the past three years of being at school here.

Yeah the most evident trend is definitely an increase in volatility

How to you get it to plot the outputs?

That type of statistical analysis shouldn't be too hard with some basic python code and relevent NCEI data. You could probably even get chatgpt to write everything for you.

Do you think the window of opportunity of pulling snow out of these blocking patterns has slimmed in the last 10 or 20 years because of increasing temperatures? To the point that a favorable late February pattern is less likely to result in a storm than it used to be?

Well i'm back at school in long island and its been nothing but rain and misery for the past week. Par for the course!

Is ZR freezing rain?

Wish me luck... Crossed fingers

Why does anyone even care about how good a winter overall is? Why can't we just hope for a good storm and if it doesn't happen move on to the next chance instead of reflecting on the season all the time? I just don't understand the function of consistently setting bars that must be met to keep the winter at an acceptable level and otherwise "giving up" on it. Its not like a winter season is an ill patient we must keep alive with snow and cold. It's just a happening that we're powerless against so it sort of begets depression and stress in my mind to think about it like something of value that can be lost or gained. I tend to look at the big picture only briefly after a season is over and then move onto the next one so as not to torture myself. Call me a stoic if you want but those are just my thoughts.

What kind of winter pattern shifts and upper-level stuff are being altered by climate change? I know the jet will speed up but I'm unsure how that affects the nature of large winter storms in general. Maybe someone can point me towards some studies on the subject?
