I like the that the GFS leaves a little left back for my area 

Saw quite a few ice fisherman on one of the larger ponds in the area today, also the Connecticut River was almost totally frozen in Springfield, a few open spots but another week and it may be solid.

Really running out of steam for up here.  My hopes lie with the Icon.  lol

I'll probably wind up with 3-4.

6-8 no  problem.

Snow IMBY. I'll believe only when I see it.
This winter so far has been a huge disappointment for many.
Remember it's always darkest before the "Don"
Getting one or two several inch storms at this point would be a winner. 

2015 started on January 26th so there's still time to pull off a good year, I wouldn't mind a lot of nickel and dime events either but would always welcome a 20+ incher.

I’m just hoping the SE crew gets at least an advisory level.  Would love to see them hit low end warning but I have my doubts for them 

Id give up a little for our SE friends to get in the game, and by a little I mean an inch

Isn’t he in northeast CT? 1-3 sounds quite a bit too low there. Even for the valleys. Don’t think elevation will play a huge role..maybe only in the first couple hours. 

He is, not far from me but maybe better to set expectations low and be surprised.

Suffered from these for years-- though they may have been hybrid migraine/tension headaches. Have occasionally experienced auras, but not as migraine precursors. This all culminated a couple of winters ago with several trips in one week to the emergency room, they got so bad. (Though these may have possibly been complications from Lyme disease which I've had too many times, and/or covid). What brings all this up is I was finally prescribed with a common anti-depressant amytriptoline (sp). One pill a night and I haven't experienced  migraine symptoms since September of 2023-- been a real positive life changer! I used to rely on sumatriptin (sp) several times a week which relieved, but headaches would return on the rebound. Now got a whole bunch unused/unneeded. I bring this all up for those searching for relief with a lot of confusing options out there. This is what's worked for me.

My sister was a lifer, sometime ending up in the ER when she was younger, but they give her something now that has almost eliminated them, I'll have to ask her what it is, she's 61 now so maybe age related too.

I am with you, thinking 2-4 or easily could be 1-3; the best will be NW of us.

I think you do better than that but probably best to be more conservative at this point.

He’s a trip. -20° at his coop in Jan 94, but -33° next to the balsam firs.

Multiple “Light frosts” in July 2001.  Also reports weenie valley high temps on hot days. 

That was the year I had 7 nights in a row below zero, he has 6 out 7 on that graph, I had two mornings -20, I lived in a good rad spot that year. The Connecticut River was frozen solid for a few weeks that year.

I am just an observer here for the most part, but it seems like you just will it to snow. This isn't the first system this winter you've stuck with that has reeled others back in on 

He has the power.

Light flurry here right now. I see a few scattered on radar.

I would be quite happy with an Advisory/low end Warning snowfall here

I'll take anything that whitens the ground with the cold shot coming next week, I want a winter feel.

CMC has a wicked cold shot into Ohio, probably record territory.

How does a patrolman in the Bronx have time and ability to post every model run no matter the time of day or night ?

He posts on his donut breaks every half hour.

Sounds like the same thing except you didn't get the rest.

I was lucky it hit me when I woke up one morning and just stayed home that day.

Heads up to folks out there.  There's a nasty virus going around. I thankfully very rarely catch any bugs. Probably been 25 years since the last time. Last night I started shaking uncontrollably, severe headache and pressure in the forehead. The girlfriend had it earlier in the week and a neighbor as well.

I had it last week, sucks big time, just getting over it.

If this keeps up without much snow cover, we may start seeing some broken mains into peoples houses. Been a LONG time since that's happened in my area

I had that happen in the 2005 winter, had a good two feet of snow and it was below zero. I was standing in the deep snow freezing while I pumped my basement out.

That area is probably an inlet or an outlet where you have water flowing.

Another week or so and we should have good ice.

You guys still getting snow in the Stowe area? Looks like something on radar.

Moved up from NC with one plastic snow shovel and haven't needed to upgrade yet. I will believe it when I see snow on the ground.

You may need a snow blower before the year is done.

Well modern times yeah.  My father was just telling me about a winter in the early 70s where it was brutal cold and absolutely no snow much of the winter. He was running around with water companies disconnecting electrical services so they could hook up a welder to the water main to thaw them. Said they did this for a couple weeks. New Hartford and surrounding areas were hit pretty bad. Although it REALLY hasn't been all that unusually cold. We're just used to springtime winter the last few 

We had some cold with little snow years but also had cold and snowy years, I remember ice fishing with my uncle with little snow but thick ice one year and another year had thick ice with 2 feet of snow we had to clear to drill our holes.

After those bad 80s winters I went to buy a truck in the summer of 92, thought it would be a waste of money to spend on a 4WD, you know what happened next, I traded it in after one year and got a 4WD Tacoma, did a lot of travelling for my job back then so it was great the next 3 out of 4 years.

Yes.  And it’s #3 all time with 96.3 inches 

We had a great overrunning even in January 94, started at 2 degrees with snizzle, changed to rain eventually at night but still in the 20s and the roads were all ice, turned back to snow overnight for a couple inches, nastiest storm I remember.

Can see it on radar, I bet PF's cleaning up again.
