I miss that place immensely. Even the 2 hour lines for 12 cans. Was 20 minutes from me . Just had such a special feel 

You wouldn't believe the money they make there, I know the banker that loaned them the money, he was astounded.

Try 5 min lol. 

Nice squall line though even though its short duration. Used to get more of these back in the early 90's winters.

Not February but the Grinch storm of 2007 wiped out my 23" pack in Bethlehem in a day. I think it was 12/23 give or take a day.

It wiped a good pack here too, I think we were at about 20 inches when I got up Christmas morning it was all gone.

That seems to be the way a lot of people use it, but the term just doesn’t make sense that way – if the storm “cuts” to the east of their area, nobody calls it a “cutter”.  If a storm “cuts” through the central Great Lakes, it’s east of some places, like Chicago, but west of a place like Buffalo – so the same storm would be a “cutter” for Buffalo, but not for Chicago.  A basis as Coastal indicated, with the term stemming from a fixed geographical area is the most logical, in that it’s based on a storm having a surface low track that “cuts” through the Great Lakes.

We make stuff up here to suit our needs, someone here made up SWFE

Thanks, that’s helpful, and I think I’ve heard the origin in passing before (such as the full expression “Great Lakes Cutter”), but the Great Lakes part is almost always left out, so just seeing “cutter” 99% of the time, the relevance of the term seems to get lost.  But why are we so special?  A storm that puts Buffalo, or Cleveland, or Chicago right in the meat of the warm sector would typically “cut” through a different part of the lakes, and if a storm passes far enough to the west, it starts to become irrelevant here.  And, people have been referring to this current storm as a “cutter” for a week or two, and the surface low isn’t even moving through the Great Lakes – it’s passing east of all the lakes and right through New England.  The way people use the term, one gets the feeling that it’s just applied to any storm in which the warm sector hits their area of interest, so maybe there’s some inconsistency in use that adds to the confusion.

I thought it meant any low that cut to our west, whether through the Great Lakes, the St Lawrence or even over northern NE.

Welp, the snowpack was fun while it lasted.

Mine was gone by 10am

That will never ever happen in CT. Sand is so 80’s. It does nothing 

Doesn't look like they use sand anymore here either, just all salt. If they have it's very little because I never see any on the roads after a storm.

Will might be right about early week turning wintry in SNE

March might be better than February, at least the beginning.

Think we need to have a golf GTG this summer

Agree, thought we were going to do it last year but no one took the bull by the horns.

Wow gfs

Going to be soggy here for awhile. I bet we get a really good snowstorm this month.

I just found out today that a guy that I graduated high school with is retiring in April. I had mixed feelings, jealousy because I can’t retire yet and crushing depression that I’m getting to that age. 

Know the feeling, two of my golf buddies retired last year and they're younger than me.

I think I would murder a family member that named a child Visa or Dollar.

With a last name pepper might as well go with Salt, its gender neutral so it works for both. Make sure their middle name starts with an N. I went to school with a girl named Sugar Sweet.

Was that peak depth or did you get another storm after that Scott?

I didn’t say anything was wrong with 1993. That march is the snowiest on record for both ORH and BOS. 

Read that wrong, maybe with this flow we can get a slow mover south to north. Still would like 93 a little more East though.

I'm hoping for a 2018 finish....though the pattern isn't really 2018....more 1993 than 2018. Hopefully it doesn't end up like Mar 2015, though my guess is we'd do better in that pattern if we rolled the dice again.

What's wrong with 93? Just a little more East.

I got down to 9 last night, place in Maine was -25, the cold's been decent this year. Wish we would have cashed in on a couple more storms, still time.

Looks like I am the anomaly yet again.

Only have 18.5 in Easton CT.

It's amazing NW CT has less than half of what NE CT has so far.

-22 F windchill at the Women's slopeside at the Olympics after the blizzard Saturday 

Weird climate out there, gets really cold but it's a desert, DC gets more snow than those mountains

8” final. On the low end of forecast but I’ll take it. Very fluffy high ratio stuff. Could almost use a leaf blower on it. Looks great outside.


#NovaScotiaStrong

WE had between 5-6 here and this morning the town workers were clearing sidewalks with leaf blowers, maybe 8 inches is pushing it but they had no problem with what we had.

I need 90” to reach average.   

90" more or is 90" your average?

This winter BLOWS! 

I assume you didn't get much yesterday if anything at all? Chicopee had zero, maybe they had flurries. Overall to this point the winter IMO hasn't been too bad, had better but also had much worse. Let's see how the finish goes.

I have no clue what I average here, maybe 40-45 inches? If so, that is the same here.....going to be tough with the current weather pattern. Maybe we get a lucky March storm this year, last year we had zero snow in March

Feb torch = March snow
