Agreed as a Giants fan. To change teams so late in his career, and then slay it in the Super Bowl with a new team...at his age? He’s insane.

Your neighbor up the hill has 30+ on the ground and 100+ on the season... what more could you want? Spread the love is the motto in NNE, the averages will play out. Happy for the southern brethren to get a good streak of snow-on-snow. The mountains get their refreshes whether there are synoptic system hits or not. Plenty of ways to snow up north.

2.5” here so far. Nice steady light snow.

Nice, I measured 2.5" at 8:30pm. Another snowy evening. Nothing earth shattering but it really seems to snow often around here the past 4-6 weeks. -SN at probably a couple mile visibility at this point.

Ha true, the valley spots might be comparable, but the higher elevations certainly have more.1,500ft and higher is loaded.

Some some good moisture pulsing into the Spine. I bet it's heavy at times in the elevations of the Spine on the county lines. Steady light snow here, good growth and eye-balling 2" on the elevated snow board out back. The snow surface is sparkling with this fluff. It does keep things looking so fresh even if they are light amounts. Precip happening below the beam up by Jay Peak on the county line east of Richford, but elsewhere it probably samples pretty well.

It's the same as unchecked optimism, ying and yang. Makes the forum go 'round. Keep on keepin' on.

T-Blizz is a trip, I'll give him that, lol. Always entertaining and adds a lot to the forum. Loves snow.

It's great for those areas... spawning new generations of snow weenies. Some seem to get bothered by it, which is real odd, even if there's still good snow on the ground and it looks like mid-winter as it should. Like its some competition, but everyone knows what happens in the means and the longevity of the snow season vs. other areas. It's early February and the classic climo favorable time for the baroclinic zone to dip to it's southernmost position. This is when it should be snowing in those areas. It's great for those posters/folks who love snow.

So happy for you guys... you especially after the last storm. Weenie out and looks like more coming for everyone next two weeks. Maybe this winter has turned around for the forum as a whole.

I can think of a time pretty much every single winter when a lower snowfall place around the coastal plain, SNE, mid-Atlantic had more snow on the ground at some point. 2009-10, Inner city Baltimore had more on the ground than most of NNE a couple times, 2010-11 Ginxy had more snow on his shed roof for all of January than most of NNE (I think spots in CT had the same depth as Mansfield stake at one point in January), 2013-14 the Leon years PHL had more in Jan I think than Adirondacks and Greens, Feb 15 had more on ground at Mass beaches than NNE hills, 15-16 there were times following storms when CT had more, etc. Its definitely more years than not that after a big storm or series of storms that a much lower snow climo spot has more depth.

It actually happens pretty frequently when they get big storms down there. Not crazy at all.

Bread and butter falling.

That’s awesome. 1.5” so far up here from the last 90 minutes or so. Hoping for 3” ha.

1.5” at home. Almost seems like more here than base of mountain.

J.Spin getting crushed now.

That ramped up fast. 30dbz over town.

Just started dumping huge flakes. A quick quarter to half inch from the size of the flakes.

What a time to be alive.

Ahhh ok. I think we are talking past each other. The only reason those higher res models showed the potential is because they were way too wet, but in this case because of the high ratios it looks like it's working out. The HREF looks like it must operate on some other algorithm instead of 10:1 snowfall... because the QPF looks more like the Global model QPF... but it has higher ratio snowfall. Interesting, I thought that would default to 10:1. Anyway, not to clutter up the thread with this. Basically anytime ratios are 20:1 or higher you'll get a positive bust. That band is still incredible.

The only reason you liked the HREF and NAM is because they had higher snowfall maps further inland. The EURO H7 track doesn't look bad for banding where you are discussing. The globals don't look nearly as bad as you seem to say. I'm going back through the past 5 runs of everything. We'll see in the post-mortem but I really think you are just thrown off by the snow/qpf maps

Awesome. So you get a SNINCR 1 for anything over 0.5"? For some reason I thought you had to get to 1" or more to get that. And 2" or more to get the 2, etc. I just saw the depth go from 6 to 7 and then 7 to 8.

BDL has to have more than that, right? They've had at least a couple hours reported of SNICR 1.

That is just filthy to have 35-40dbz showing up on the 0.5 degree scan. That's legit, someone has to be seeing 3"/hr in that SW of BOS.

Save the QPF maps and compare tomorrow. You are experiencing what I often see on the NW flank. Get 9” on 0.30” water. Their snow maps are right for the wrong reason, but that’s hard to process for sure.
