Nah…I don’t think so.  I heard this before when I was a kid, and it didn’t happen. This won’t either. 

Once it flips back there will be plenty of great Marchs. Man the Green New Deal grifts being exposed to the tune of billions of dollars are insane. We always knew about Al Gores grift but now the Michael Manns of the world are being exposed.  Lemmings are suddenly confronted about the climate scam. Nothing to do with the science it was all about the Benjamin's

That is a nasty environment across eastern AR, western TN, and southeastern MO late tomorrow evening and scary given its nighttime. I bet we end up seeing 15% hatched tornado area...I wonder if we could even see a high risk for tornadoes (30% hatched). Nothing worse than overnight events 

You really need to see a Midwest supercell in Kansas field.  Awe inspiring

Every place is different obviously…22 sucked bad here…8-9” of Arctic sand.  For you guys east it was awesome. 

Every big storm has its subsidence zone. Boxing day was my sandstorm

Edibles 15Mg. I can only imagine what the read only newbies think lol. Love ya bro. On to baseball fishing outdoor stuff.  Enjoy your mud it's the only mud you got. Dry soils here. First practice next week

Jan 2022 is a member of me three red-headed step-triplets.....Dec 5, 2003, PD II and Jan 2022. Together they comprise my #Hall of Pork.

Hard to beat 18 hrs of visibility under a 1/4 mile sometimes zero.  It was unreal in 22

I think April 1, 1997 is now number 2 for me, but its close...I wasn't very precise with measurements back in HS. I think March 2018 edged it out with 31.5", but the former was far more impressive, regardless. I think after that Jan 2015 and Feb 2013 are about neck and neck at around 27". Feb 2013 was second only to March 1993 in terms of wind.

97 was like 18 inches here Feb 78 and Jan 22 will forever it seems be my boys.

lol you posted it twice without looking at it. And Ray got you first. 
 

Sensy. 

I didn't give a  fuck about perfection

We're just ball busting, as usual....if I had trotted those graphics out there, they would have been on me like  afly on shit, too.

True and me too. I bet everyone got the point.  We rival NNE on biggies.

Looks like Gronk wrote it.

True I just wish I was Brian. He is always first to correct.  Man I dream of being such an ideal person

Did I have a stroke or has he been immersed in his ancient scrolls?

Again trying Grok for the first time. Apparently doesn't transition well Mr Perfect

Ran some snow cores today at the High Road plot… 77” depth at 3,000ft and multiple cores all around 20-22” of water.  

 

TK, the unidentified guy, ha.  He loves the science, always down to tag along.

Watched the video. What is the Max you have recorded

Considering the lack of posts on it, the frontal passage this evening kind of meh?

Remember when... Jan 25th 2015 ...March 2nd 2015

Picked up 6.5” last 24 hours including 4” this afternoon (pictured) in 3 hours…

NWS has confirmed depth of 102” at the summit stake, so crested the century mark for snow on ground.

Historical 3 rd for the date

269”… we’ll see if it makes a run at 2016-17’s 375” at that plot, or can get towards the more recent bigger year of 2018-19 max depth over 120”.

It’s not second place for late Feb.

I’m dammed if I do, dammed if don’t lol… rubbing it in or downplaying it depending on your viewpoint.  Just let the stats fall where they are… it’s a solidly above normal snow winter, but not the best in even the last 8 years.  A good winter.

 

It was in 2nd when I wrote this. Now tied for 4th

so sensy

The irony is it’s not like historic snowfall or anything, it’s just a solid above normal season following numerous shitty years up here.

The issue is it’s also been shitty down in SNE for years and the gradient has been super sharp this season.

A lot of multi-year perception in play… up here happy that it’s finally out of the rut, but down there it’s the mentality of still in the rut.

Hopefully SNE breaks out next winter.

Not historical yet in 2nd place for depth in late Feb. No where near done and almost 300 inches. Cmon

Holy crap that’s amazing!!!!!!

The rage and jealousy is unbecoming. As Pete would say flat landers in eastern Mass are the biggest whiners on the board. If I was PF ad NNE crew I would post 10 pictures a day just to piss you off. Lol I love your rage at something so out of your control.  Maybe that's it. A control issue ha

I've been involved in this Northeastern issue for several years. It's essentially welfare for contractors as it is grotesque overkill. Federal funding covers 90% of it so state DOT grant managers are thrilled even if it means destroying the landscape aesthetic - their interest is in grabbing every grant they can get, needed or not. The states and federal government could literally save millions by simply having arborists tag hazard trees for removal but they don't do this, they senselessly clearcut. It is out of control across New England and beyond. The income from the trees is insignificant because they are sold below market rate or given to the contractors "for disposal". A recent project in CT produced 16,000 logs pole-to-sawtimber size and the gross receipt to the state was $22,000 ($1.38/tree gross).

Most of the contractors have invested in multi-million-dollar specialized machines for clearcutting roadsides instead of hiring manual cutters so the jobs impact of these programs is limited. DOTs say that they are creating pollinator habitat in the deforested areas, ignoring the fact that they are creating sink habitat for insects because, you know, a zillion cars cruising by at 70mph. I've been doing habitat restorations for a living for over 30 years and a key tenet of ecological restoration is don't create production habitat within or adjacent to kill zones. For example, the foraging range of a honeybee is 2 miles (1 mile radius from hive), so ... splat.

Additionally, these cleared areas become densely populated by non-native invasive plants whose #1 vector of dispersal is ... roads. These plants are disturbance-specialists and are highly adapted to quickly exploit the macerated soils of the cleared sites. So these roadside-clearing programs are not only contrary to good science and the landscape aesthetic, they greatly aid in the spread of invasives, a phenomenon called "the greatest threat to biodiversity after habitat loss" by E.O. Wilson.

But to end on a positive note, we just finished a project in NW Maine that permanently protected 3500 acres in the Mahoosucs. Most of it was paper company land and it will now be forever wild. Onward.

Great job. My degree is environmental Science.  I believe the cutting in CT greatly reduced our power loss numbers which saves millions. Would selective timber harvest by a forester eliminate the power threat? There has to be a balance.
