there is definitely cold air to tap if the system can. I'll be in Philly for the weekend. I wonder if they'll get snow?

she's not gonna let us out...

Pretty accurate for many

Just did some measuring on my morning walk. Still a solid 8 to 13 inches in the open areas and fields. In the woods anywhere from 12 to maybe 16 or 17. This is an incredibly resilient snow pack during a time that’s not that cold. I don’t know the physical processes, but it just seems like the pack is slowly reduced, but gotten very compacted solid. Will take a good bit of rain, sun, wind, and high dewpoint nights to get rid of stuff. Still hope for you, Scott. The words are absolute magic right now.

That could be quite shitty timing, unless the next winters period has starting. Potentially could be very good timing.

yeah looks like everything is gone for the weekend. All the better as I'm going to Philly to watch the game with friends and hopefully celebrate on Broad Street. Lets melt it up here and then have fun as a whole forum late Feb early March!

Depends on what happens in the week to 10 days following from my perspective. I want it to melt out if it’s going to get really warm next week. Then we can start over again for a little late season run. If it’s not going to get warm for long, but I would hope for a net gain from this week.

I dunno. This could end up warm but maybe we’ll radiate we’d night and stay frozen?

My gut says this is fail for most, including me. It doesn't have the feel of one that is coming together as the trends have not been clear, and mostly warm. I'm ready to melt out for now, unless and until we can see a wintry stretch.

If these systems this week all go liquid, we could really melt out quite a bit this week although there will still be snow in the woods for sure because it doesn’t look to get that warm. But it’s also quite possible that we have snow to rain and we stayed pretty cold and mostly keep our 10 to 18 inch snow pack. It is a very resilient pack.

I guess it all depends on what the criteria are. From a snow perspective I would imagine that the only A+ season is really 2007 2008 with 2010-11 as an A. But if your criteria is not too much intense cold, a period of deep winter, with a snow pack to get out and enjoy, and then some nice warm ups then this winter might turn out to be a really good one. A B so far, with points taken off for the slow start, and the number of days with no sun. A warm-up soon, followed by another week or two of deep winter, and then a quick transition to spring would make this a A for me.

Trying to stay in the moment, whatever happens happens. Enjoyed a sunny not too cold day climbing up to the top of the hill through 15+ inches of snow to a fantastic view, watching the dogs frolic. It’s a lot of wasted energy to be too invested in what might happen, and in the future.

2/12 shouldn't be boring... https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/video/fly-eagles-fly

except for Assateague

While some are tanning on the Seacoast I am strolling through the boreal woods at 17 degrees and there’s 15+ on the ground in the woods. It’s a different world up here in fah fah fah interior nne. terrified, I mean terrified, that that evil sun is gonna melt this out today or tomorrow.

They’ve been pretty good as they don’t get caught in the emotional run to run swings. They’ve had a bit of a signal Friday Saturday for cne nne and even a bit of sne. i try to avoid the metal chairs; not sure what Swinging in Tolland was thinking.

12, although I know that will change shortly.

I feel kind of optimistic

Sat 12z WPC map looks kinda interesting. But I don't see a high in SE Canada, though looks like there is room for one in the Scooter spot. http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/medr/9nhwbg_conus.gif http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/medr/9nhwbg_conus.gif

we could get a couple inches tuesday night, and so far wunderground and the nws have snow for friday night saturday. Might be another cne nne deal.

it doesn't look negative yet, so it will track based on high pressure and confluence to its n and e?

I don't consider myself the far interior of NNE, but this may be semantics. We have the what is SNE CNE NNE conversation all of the time on the board. I consider myself the border between CNE and NNE, but still in the coastal plain. I am not in the foothills or the mountains. The southern extent of the snow pack isn't that far south of me.

so you think my pack is gone by feb 14?

thats not a pack destroyer, for sure. Nighttime lows, and I bet many low dewpoints. Hell, we had a few low 40s days since the 25" in 6 day period and what the pack does is melts a bit, but really consolidates and then solidifies. I still have 15-18+ in the woods and a foot in much of the fields. Resilient up here at this time of the year, unless we get heavy rain and high dews.

Both the simplicity and the end result of the Euro appeal to me. Maybe GFS still gettin its shite together
