rained off and on today in Bedford/New Boston NH. we've all been doing clouds/rain quite well this winter!

by rain, you mean a couple sprinkles this afternoon, right? because I was in that area all day and it barely even wet the roads.

This may be unpopular but….. I don’t think omegas posts have been unreasonable at all these past 2 winters. Is he biased? Yeah, but he is far from the only one. I also completely agree with the Pope that the pattern thus far has been consistent with a significant El Niño event. Raging STJ, warm and wet. That has been the theme of this winter, and it looks like it’s going to continue until mid month. What happens then is still up in the air. The reality is it HAS been warm, and it hasn’t been very snowy. If he’s posting 300+ hour torch maps during a blizzard….. then that’s different. Maybe the pattern does change, but when I think pattern change I’m going by great snow’s definition (a change to cold that locks in for 3+ weeks). 

I had 28.5" of snow in January. the temps meant NOTHING with regards to snowfall (massive cutters aside). sorry you got shafted though

28.5” would be well above average…even here. CON averages 17.1”.

wow i am surprised the vg is that low

I got 28.5" in January, I guess that is about average. I grade with heavy weight on snow cover. ground was bare before the squalls on 1/14, so half the month gets an F in that regard. second of the half gets a B with 15" and full cover. 

YTD: 33", which is a little below average. but December gets a solid F, which means that so far, the winter has been around a C or C-. 

i know that many will not agree and say that January was good because I got 28".

Looking forward to 18z gfs clown maps from Moonshine and Galileo.

I don’t laugh out loud at a lot of stuff that I read here, but this got me. well played good sir

this winter is so bad we are arguing hook and ladder vs hook and latter

i fly back to MHT on 2/12. based on prior years, you can pretty much guarantee some kind of winter event that day.

you would have mostly nailed it if you had moved everything like 50-75 miles north.

You are incorrect, I avg 60” a year here. If I get 0 in Nov/ Dec.. how many years am I going to get 60” in Jan and Feb.. I’ll even include Morch .. very few. 

I am inclined to agree with you, but only if you take November out of your argument. you seriously cannot average more than 1-2" in november, and that amount is generally not going to impact your seasonal total.

Up here I average 70-75", and November averages like 2" a year over the last 20 years. it's non-consequential to your argument, which again I mostly agree with.

losing december sucks ass, no question about it.

I've got no issue with Tip starting the next "threat thread" but for the love of God, start it with a different word from "Monitoring." We have like a half inch combined from the last two that started with that word

well to be fair, he starts the threads like 6 weeks in advance (sarcasm) so about all we can do is "monitor"

7" of birch bending, maple mauling, fir flattening, pine crushing, poplar pooping heavy, wet snow. somehow the power stayed on, even though I could hear branches snapping (and 1 tree out in the woods falling).

still at 0.0

Nada so far. it’s so very exciting.

I did midnight madness there probably 20 years ago. It's when they went to 2am. I was getting ready to leave right after midnight when a cold front came through and dropped an inch of the lightest powder - kept me going almost to the end. I got to bed sometime around three and had to get up the next morning early - that was difficult. Back then it was a big college crowd. Lots of fires around the mountain and lot of drinking. I assume things are much calmer now. 

I am well beyond my college years, but that sounds like a lot of fun.

Its largely due to social media IMHO....its fostering an increased proclivitry towards iimpulsivity and instant gratification, which is inimical to critical thinking and conducive to an increased tendency to make perfunctory judegements.

@40/70 Benchmark I think @Typhoon Tip stole your login info.

raining, but had some sleet here next to MHT a few minutes ago
