    On the NWS side of things, StormData will be finalized shortly, and the Service Assessment takes significant time to complete. I think the Buffalo blizzard took the better part of a year to complete all the interviews and compile information.

    South of the Pike can merge with the Mid Atlantic forum. Kevin can switch seasonally depending on which ASOS he is referencing.

    Difax charts sticking together.

    Will will remember synoptic class and Colucci saying that high pressure can be sexy too.

    WPC tries to keep a running tally here: https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/research/roth/SLPrecords.html

    Me and you learning how to forecast with the NGM.

    The March 1914 shows up on a lot of monthly low pressure records for the area too. Of course to get monthly low pressure records you usually need the storm to track over your backyard, which tends to be bad for snow. So a lot of our lowest pressure are written on Cleveland's Dead Sea Scrolls.

    Of course you do. For half of Nova Scotia, that's the record low January pressure.

    Pretty cool to see that little oval of September 1938 within a sea of cool season bombs.

    Those 940s are all tropical too. January 2018 is probably the most prominent in my mind (949 I believe), but I don't have a steel trap for dates and events like Will. My brain is more of a wet paper bag these days.

    Likely what happened here is that dense fog (+FG) was added to the grids, which carries a 1/4 mile visibility. Then drizzle was added and intensity was based off visibility (which was 1/4 mile because of the fog) so you get +DZ. But in reality I'm not sure I've ever seen a forecaster explicitly forecast DZ or +DZ, it's almost always -DZ.

    Deep winter.

    At least on the NWS side of things, we're not even forecasting QPF for that entire system yet. It's too far out.

    My wife hit me with the hundredths place, she says 1.25" (plus my 0.1" before I left) but I'm rounding up to 1.4"

    Watching the Conway webcam, and that is a real threat for my backyard. Which is all that matters.

    Very nice aggregates. Not shattered.

    Oh my backyard snowfall ob. Bit of an overperformer in the north of the CWA though. A few more 6s on the board than I thought in that northern half of our area.

    Almost gave you shit on the phone because I had that whopping 0.1"
  20. OceanStWx
    Oh man, every weenie on this board can hear this exact sound in their head. Perfect description. I'm not sure I can count it as a Christmas miracle yet (0.1" at 7 am) but it sure isn't a Grinch.

    Solid guess. CON averages 8 days with a average temp of 8 degrees or less each winter.

    I wouldn't call the lift strong be any means, but the DGZ or near-DGZ is deep (which helps because the core of the DGZ is quite high in the atmosphere despite the surface air mass).

    Scooter is sitting down with his kids tonight and explaining that there are snow starved children in northern New England that need the snow more than they do.
  24. OceanStWx
    I've also always tended to think about it in terms of aggregates. It's pretty rare to have pure dendrites falling without some clumping, sticking, interlocking, etc. The wind breaks those aggregates apart. But the aggregates are forming down here, not up in the DGZ.

    I've been to two classic winter Titans games. The 2004 coldest Pats game, top 20 coldest NFL game AND the 2009 59-0 October snow game. But yes, too cold run a tap line from a keg so all beer was served out of bottles/cans. The head on the beer would freeze between sips, so you would have to poke your finger through the get the next gulp.
