N. OF PIKE

as a snow lover i would never have disgust reporting snow, i may grow tiresome of endless cold but snow from late sept to mid/late may (almost 8 months sounds great)

man snow in sept, snow in may, my type of winter season. June-aug i hope is beautiful b4 you enter the white darkness again

hey BI, how have you been? learning to forecast all over again? how's AK? I've been needing a change...I've been really thinking about CO, UT, and lately AK...Will never say anything bad about MA cause it's my state and I grew up here, but it's so urban it drives me nuts... keep posting pics, the beauty of that state is just unfathomable!

lol .....um disturbing and well "garth is hurtin in Ct" don't give up garth ....don't give up

WA WA was like donner/ tahoe for a storm 42 inches EPIC..... who will get smoked this year........will someone see a 20 incher....a thirty incher......more.......all possible in just about any area in SNE....which IMO is one thing that makes this area special

do you have the PNS map's for this event...Will I was out driving around in a SUV that nite.... i was up in 495 ...pulled over on my laptop ...reading about mekster going up to diamond hill ( i believe if i have the right storm) and mean while i decided to drive town 495 and it seemed to get a bit hectic right as i was getting ready to cross 290...heading south...i pulled off on 20....near some hotel...and head'd east ward i noticed the roads were snow covered until i got to somewhere in wayland...and then it mixed with rain over toward weston and 95....when i got back to burlington at 215 am i was greeted with the LARGEST snow balls falling from the sky that i have ever seen in my life...they were gargantuan...and they coated the ground in about 15 minutes....there was an inch of glop at my house in the am...then i drove east and when i got about two miles east near 93/128 there was nada .

anyone know what the wind gusts were in the down slope noreaster event.....my biggest memory from that was the awe when open'd the screen door to my deck and heard the wind and saw the trees swaying.....was just roaring out there.....the 3 inches....didn't really bother me...i was happy it was white on the ground....but when i saw the 20 plus at diamond hill then i was kinda like "my house is a generally awful locale for snow" on the ride home. If only i was like 6 miles NNW near borderland state park i mean raynham blows for about 98% of coastal fronts (even N. raynham lol) while norton and other towns like mansfiled can be cold and snowy. they are too far west to get much OES.....but i mean at least it's not the south coast. I also remember the storm of the centrury ...had about a foot of powder snow then a 1/2 inch of sleet then hours of pouring rain and it ends as a period of flurries as PVD got 3 inches on back end that am.....storm of century left me with about 3 inches of pic axe like ice on my drive way while atlanta georiga had about 4x the snowpack as me. lets see what else did repress from raynham ......well there was an epic snowpack one year in the mid 90's .....and a couple awesome years of annual snowfall

it's funny how everything is so relative when i lived in raynham mass in junior high/H.s i would be happy with 50 inches a year.....esp remember the april fools day storm.....and how the down slope nor'easter gave me only 3 inches of crap snow while diamond hill, ri where i went sledding later that day had over 20 inches at base of hill. when i moved to burlington mass after 10 years in Fl i would have been happy with 20 inches of snow i was driving all over the damn place to find snow..i dragged my gf of the time to wachusett in mid october after buying sled's at home depot that morning.....(and got great pics)....not to mention i think ORH airport a day or two prior to see a few flakes flyin ...i got fb pics to prove it then framingham last year i wanted at least 65....and got about 90-95....(and went skiing about 30 x at wa wa chusets) now i'm looking at sugar bowl california rentals and they average 500/ year .... i don't think i could ever enjoy (or tolerate) a SNE (errr non green mtn or white mtn) winter again if i actually went out there for more than a winter.
