didn't that season start with boxing day storm, iirc, melts were epic leading up to that too, far different scenarios yeah, but I hear ya, if it ain't cold and white for Christmas, it's a bummer...for us old enough it's a reminder of those 80s Christmas winters where it's 50 and raining, last good Christmas I can recall I think was early 2000s I remember thunder snow on Christmas, believe ALY area got crushed, maybe there's one more recent I can't recall...Will??

yeah the fact that temp measuments have moved to locations that are not only more populated, but more covered with asphalt and less vegetation, where we all know can make a major temperature difference, same with maritime readings from vessels, thermocouple movement closer to the exhaust rather than away, make a difference. I've been focusing on one particular station about 5 miles from me, but I'm going to search for another in the vicinity and do the same break down and plot data .. curious to see any anomalies etc. it's tedious, seeing how I do aerospace testing for a living and deducing data is a good part of it, makes it seem like work so I'm taking it slowly, you understand I'm sure. but I'll post when I finish.

I'm still working on plotting data for the last century from the closest official station to me, I've only got snow complete so far and even in that short period, you can see peaks and valleys, of course some anomalous years that scew the mean, but 20s and 30s of the 20th century were poor in terms of snowfall, really peaked from mid 50-late 60s, then fell through the early 90s, and up again, and on it goes... I'll continue with total rainfall, temps, and total precip and plot to have a good idea, I'm going out on a limb and say it'll peak and valley accordingly

I'm so jello, we just got a new 36" ariens a few days ago and was so hoping to give it a go, but alas, it must wait to break the cherry, nice machine you got there

so no BM track, but canal runner for 3/4?

maybe I should get back to Florida, only time it actually snowed and accumulated here was when I was there, and now this one is trending towards crapping the bed? be awful to waste such a favorable pattern, congrats NNE folks tho on the last one, still have a few inches otg from the storm when I was gone, but drip drip...

savoy coming in almost 20", weren't we talking about that area yesterday as maybe a 30 spot? looks like it could keep going over night there, around Bennington too 16+, about what was progged for that area heavy wet too I imagine..

glad to see some NNE folks verified those amounts forecast, major bust here, what 1" of slush we had is now gone, was expecting 6-8, not surprised that sandisfield, Norfolk, North Canaan etc, actually got around 6" last check, amazing, and it pretty much snowed all day, just not good rates and a bit less elevation, heard Stratton got smashed! good for the ski areas, they need it there, hopefully next week doesn't trend similar.good thing we still had a few inches otg so still pretty white around here otherwise would really blow

I've only had just about an inch of slop, I heard up towards that way they were in 4-8" range, this was at like 7 though not sure now

some parts already picked up a few to even as much as 8", and all around me just higher in elevation is a mess, but I agree no way we pull off even three inches here, top of 44/202 in Torrington has a couple inches otg I've got a slushy half inch

sitting at 32/32, SN but slushy accum of a coating, unfortunately all around me is accumulated snow, I think this is going to bust hard here, maybe Norfolk points NW are doing well but not imby

this may be a good sign the warmth is getting shunted south? was progged for RN there, yeah?

now flipping between catpaws and some rain, I have hope, that the rates will help, but not expecting more than a couple here, maybe Norfolk up a little higher will do well, hopefully I'm wrong, ALY and you seem to feel good about it so I'll trust, we'll find out in a few hours when I wake how the overnight did

not really happy with the way things started here, snizzle and some flakes, right to rain now, radar would suggest otherwise tho .. we'll see if we stay or flip by morning

no sooner than I report sniz, we've got dropped vis, and some actual flakes flying, breeze also slowly intensifying Let's Go!

still 35/32 snizzle now, cloud ceiling really lowered though, has that look like main precip starting any moment now

that would have been my choice of jack too, and to boot, next week also looks great for them, could have a 48" base for Christmas around those parts, already like 6-8 otg no?

yeah that area looks to get hammered, I'd probably take the under on that though, and say 24"

I usually put a tarp over it, and part of the run, so they can get out until I clean their area to scratch and peck at stuff, but I leave the snow on the coop as insulation during winter, hopefully they start producing more soon, been molting since early October, now they see white they clam up with the protein

35/32 and apparently virga, I expect snow to begin falling any minute here, if not starting as liquid for a while until we wetbulb, but I can already feel it dropping over the last hour from 38, and a bit of a breeze starting, radar looks stout south of LI, we redevelopment? any pressure readings from offshore showing that?

was thinking the same, looks better just north with the lift and DGZ, may be looking at hours of sugar here while they pile dendrites up to the kneecap

would not be shocked, and it looks like back to back with next week... they just all pulled off an 8-10er this past Sunday, good Berk winter of yore, actually lived in Pittsfield until I was like 4, have some vague memories of piles of snow

kinda surprised Aly didn't at least extend the WSW to southern Berk cty, if for Nlitch cty... seems they are expecting at least 6" in these areas if not more and guidance supports, any ideas for this?

watch up for my hood now, guess the trend is a friend...like Ryan's map, looking good to me, can't help but look ahead at next week though, also new ariens 36" blower arrived yesterday! can't wait to give it a go!

berks gearing up for possibly two 16+ storms in a week huh...ALY cutting off the warning snows for this one just NW of my area, this will be one of those where Norfolk gets 6+ and I get 2/3" imby, but hold hope next week pans out, plenty of excitement in the tracking department, much better than last year
