It's funny when things look good in the future most doubt it and wait for the rug to get pulled, when it looks bad it's a lock.

This isn't from the blizzard of 78 is it? That looks like a 1990s Volkswagen Passat.

That's from Snowmageddon in St Johns but that what I saw when I looked out the front door in 78, could just see the top of my car.

This is what my car looked like after the blizzard of 78, could just see the top.

I vaguely remember, what storm was that?

Edit: I remember, that was the snowmaggedon storm in the Maritimes.

I was reminded today that four years ago I should’ve dropped everything and gone to Canada.

Coldest of the year here. 15° now but it hit 10.4 at some point overnight.

My low was 10 also, up to 14 now, ice on the ponds should be getting thicker now.

Wow, I'm surprised no one has mentioned staying in southern Quebec or the Eastern Townships for this event. I've checked and hotel availability seems a lot better there than NNE. Sherbrooke, Quebec is my pick for this event. But Magog and other towns also seemed to have good hotel availability without the inflated prices I'm seeing here. The one exception may be Niagara Falls, ON. Rates were high over there.

Thought never crossed my mind but nor that you mention it, its a good idea. I also checked New Hampshire, according to reports, a lot more people are going to Vermont than New Hampshire so I did look into that. Northern Maine is also an option.

we did it here last year but I think the last time before that was NEMO for me

You had a 30 incher last year in your new location?

Can’t see the stake but it’s gotta be over a foot now. Radar looks clear but it’s still dumping. Beautiful evening 

Beautiful wood stove.

Are folks waiting on a big dawg ?

I mean a light to perhaps moderate event for Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York City… it’s already interesting - to me anyway. 

It just seems like people aren’t interested unless it’s maximum dosage. Ha ha.seriously though.

I'll take another 2-4 incher but always looking for a big dog.

Down to 26 just frizzling, got 2 inches and then a frozen coating, roads are ice.

At least it's in Buffalo this year.

I just flipped, once you see those big fatties you know your time is coming. Maybe I can pick up an inch on the back end, have 2 now, forecast was 2-5 so it's dead on here.

Moderate to heavy snow now, hope to make hay while this is over me.

Very light snow here, about an inch, looks like the good stuff slid south of me.

I like the nam

Eew why? 20s is perfect. Give me 18-28 and a few inches of upslope every day and I’m all set

I like to experience extreme cold, twice I've been up there when it was -30 or better.

-1. I believe it’s the first below 0 of the season

More to come for you guys, hope its cold like that when I'm up there.

Real lakes and ponds have ice in Maine, Stick to NY climo.

We had about an inch on some of the bigger ponds/lakes last cold snap but thats gone, looks like maybe in the next week can start to get some decent ice.

The sleet FRZ line keeps getting closer to me

Not what some on the Board want to hear but that warmup way out there in guidance keeps moderating and then cold does reload but this time the core is closer to us in Eastern Canada. Not a frigid look but could work for many. Folks expecting weeks of 2m temps below freezing in coastal SNE have unrealistic expectations of their climo imo. 

Yeah, noticed the cold doesn't come down through the plains but slides east to eastern Canada, we can hopefully tap into that.

I mean maybe he wastes a tenth of QPF on ip/zr? It’s nbd. He’ll get a few inches and crust it up a bit. It’s mostly crap qpf anyway under the mid level dryslot. 

I'll take 3-5 inches with a little crust on top, better than nothing at this point and just hope for a big one to show up in the next 2-3 weeks.

I'll take it, nice easy cleanup and we'll have a winter landscape.

Looking at the streetlight during the squall reminded me of when I was a kid and kept looking out my front window under the streetlight during 1978, it was like a great squall for hours and hours, snow falling sideways, I'd love to get another 78 one more time while I'm alive.
