    Regardless of what happens, I don't think that my methodology was flawed, it just hasn't worked out....yet. However this slice of humble pie is probably a good indicator that the attitude needs some adjustments. Comes with experience, I guess.

    It's not over yet Ray but predicting weather is a tough business. You got the broad strokes right but we've also have had a run of bad luck.

    IMO, that combo of snow, wind, and cold has not been matched in the Northeast since.  Feb. 1978 had the first 2, April 1982 had all 3 in northern Maine but less of each (and far fewer people affected by truly massive snowfall.)  A repeat would cause some ginormous east-west meltdowns, as Boston had a big pile of slush, CC probably a big RA event and huge beach erosion (have not read of effects there.)  The only Maine site for which I've seen data is Gardiner, 6 miles S from Augusta, and they had 8" with temps 38/32.  Slight difference from the 50"+ and near zero temps of the upper HV.

    That snowicane reminded me a little of that blizzard with the north south gradient but it was more east with the 88 blizzard.

    I’ve got to go out and finish digging out. Been putting it off since 8:00 this morning. :shiver:

    Me too, snowblower crapped out on me, now I have to chip away at a glacier, the sleet and freezing rain made the pack bullet proof.

    5F now with high of 8F.  Heading out to give driveway first clearing.  We got somewhere between 10 and 11”, nice top layer of sleet.  Forgot all about the eclipse last night after the games, dang it!

     

     

    My driveways an iceberg. Not looking forward to chopping it up.

    It's definitely mid-winter stuff out there.  Sub-zero temperatures with wind, and deeply snowpacked roads.  This was a pretty substantial synoptic snowstorm in these parts, better than your average warning event.
