How I know I am checked out… first thing I loop in the morning is 850mb temperatures. Like what I see starting end of next week and really around the 10th as Tip mentions above.
We’re pretty consistent in getting 1/3 of the forecast.
Monday: forecast 15”. Actual 6”
Wednesday: forecast 3”. Actual 1”.
At least cleanup will be easy.
I had this conversation with myself this morning. B-
A+ on snow pack retention
A- on cold (though becoming less of a fan as I age)
C for snow
Weight it 60/30/10 (snow, pack, cold) and it’s a B-.
I was starting to doubt the 5” I measured since everyone around was a bit higher But i see a trained spotter 1 WSW in Nashua reported 5.8”. Only 9-10” off the forecast. Hehe
Just to make myself feel better about this disaster, I spent my lunch break going through 4 Seasons weather archive and GYX’s storm archive to develop a few statistics. Average nearly a 12” storm a year.
