I've been watching this first one for a while, appear/disappear, and we still have a shot at a marginal event, but I think antecedent airmass will be the enemy until some CAD pushes in, there is a strong high to the north, too bad the low wasn't a bit stronger... still like the period mid month, and possibly a small event on between, but at least there are s/w's to track as we approach what's historically our best climo for big snows.

as fate would have it for me this season, I'm leaving for an extended period for work in Florida on the 14th, right around the time things look to be lining up nicely, I've missed nearly every flake this season, and still have yet to use the new blower...ugh, at least my dad has taken the skywarn class, so he's capable of accurate measurements if anything falls on the snow table...

Dec. was a D here, 7.5 ytd, 6.25 on Dec, well below normal for this locale

wouldn't give up on next week, the 6th timeframe has looked interesting for a bit now but the phantom off run disappearing sig is weird...then the 9th, and looks like a decent potential around the 13th, with some phase possible? interesting to say the least, we have things to track, and hope we ain't warm wet, cold dry again...

So some of you may do this ( if you're not actually mets for a vocation), gathering archive data from your local station and doing plots, avg, temps, snow etc... I just got done plotting the seasonal snowfall for my area from 1897 (farthest I could get), to present and noticed an interesting anomaly, all three top seasons occurred exactly 40 years apart, 35-36, 55-56, and 95-96, with 55-56 being the top at177+"... so I assume 2035-36 will be an interesting winter... that said I'm working now on temps both for calendar year and seasonal, as well as total precip, nice little hobby in spare time.

most of our seasonal snowfall is nickel and dime events, most of which are SWFE, maybe one or two region wide events, and rarely get a KU.. hopefully we can string together a few nickel and dimes and splash in a biggie and just might make climo...

that's a nice look... does the GFS still have a SE bias or was that fixed with the upgrade?

I'm currently going through a ton of archival data from my area anyway, and from what I've seen so far, early to mid March is much more of a snow producer than mid to late December, there are exception, but on average, March is a snowier month, at least for mby and generally SNE...

yeah let's not jinx and start a thread outside 5 days, although it seems when you start one, odds are better...

I've had an eye on that time for a few days now, siggy been showing up for at least something to track, looks like congrats fish atm tho...

wow, yeah good for them, at least someone in SNE got a decent event

I'm with you there, I'd prefer getting hammered with big storms, then warming to save on utilities, not really a snow pack kinda person, honestly it's a hinder like in 2011 we were running out of places to put the stuff, I remember digging a walkway for the oil delivery guy and it was like layers of sedimentary rock from all the different events, some dog poo from my dog like 2' down fossilized ha!

I can't believe they're still getting sound effect snow, what are some totals, sorry if it's been posted already I may have missed it

thanks man, don't feel like 50 I'll say that, and people are generally shocked when I say I'm that old, so I guess it's only what you make of it, think 30!

Merry Christmas weather frens! so it was so cold yesterday morning the chicken waterer froze, thought those were good to like 10 below, but apparently 3F is cold enough... looks like we have to wait until after the new year for anything wintry huh... still waiting for my birthday storm, Jan 3 I turn 50, would love a nice event.

per my data I plotted, that was the all time top of the list winter for this area, and second was 95-96, as I stated before, there was a lull in winter snow from 32 until about 53-54 and peaked the next season, but until early 70s they were all up there, went down a bit until early oughts, and has been pretty steady since, although three of the last 4 seasons have been rats, last year was another under 45" year here. First three years after we moved to Winsted from wtby, were epic about 100", then fell off some, 16-17 and 17-18 were ok

enjoying the deep winter feel with a good double of Woodford... it's down to 13 here off a 53 high 7 hours ago

I like that area, stayed in the double tree in leominster quite a bit, used to go through Gardner on my way home sometime RT 2 instead of the pike

where are you over by Gardner?

I have to imagine Otis, Lee, Becket area has seen some accumulation, they have been under some nice echoes for a grip as well, nice batch moving towards Manchester NH too it looks like

roads must be a sheet of ice because people are creeping out there, glad I got my stuff done early, I want no part of that, snow I love but ice especially with some snow atop it is the worst, wrapped my truck around a pole when I was younger on that crap

I nearly spit my water out at this, while I watch a steady light snow and plummeting temps, despite radar, been snowing since sun went down

for him maybe, I'd be loving it, only reason he lives there is he was a sports beat writer for one of those buffalo papers, nice area where he lives

uncle in williamsville outside buf is getting hammered right now with blizzard warnings and 2-3' more expected, this is the second time this year in the same area, that's nuts

down to freezing now from a high of 53 at about noon, good little squall line came through with the front but nothing major, winds are about 10-15 occasionally gusting, this morning must've blown the tarp off the wood pile, everything wet on top couple layers, that was fun restacking... went to Waterbury earlier today and my brother in law lives on top of bunker hill, looked like a tornado went through, man limbs and debris every where, rouge garbage cans everywhere..
