Mindblowing that it's snowing just north of here while our dew point is 7F lol

I feel like 07-08 had something but the only thing I found was 12/3/07 and it was limited to the Capital Region around Albany.

Well here are some comparisons: On St. Patrick's Day the Euro has 4C 850s and the GFS has -5C. On 3/21 the Euro has 6C 850s while the GFS has -9C. Granted, that is partially due to frontal timing differences but still. Then they both agree on a slightly below normal day on the 22nd with 850s of -3 to -5C. Then in clown range (not that it matters) the GFS keeps us seasonably warm with highs in the low to mid 50s but the Euro insists on mid and upper 60s mostly. EDIT: Oh, and the GFS tries for the late season miracle snowstorm at the end of the run on 3/27 lol.

Euro and GFS are worlds apart in the LR. Euro is a blowtorch and GFS freezes us out. Does anyone know if maybe the GFS has credence because the SSW?

I don't understand this graph...I thought we always ran too warm? Why would the mean error be negative?

Yep, that's what Matt from Norton was doing yesterday. Him FTW.

Per my supervisor. I do observing at BDL.

Yeah, you were right. Just spoke to Tom from ALY and he directed me to that site and we were both checking and there's nothing except some light snowfall reports for the ALY area on the 18th. Sucks...my last hope is NCEI but I doubt they'll have anything.

FWIW, the seasonal total at BDL should be 22.3" I guess one of our observers reported something incorrectly or BOX made a mistake.

06z GFS looks awfully ...concerning

Booooooo...maybe I'll call ALY and see if they got any paper copies of old PNS reports

Ok? I wouldn't qualify 65 as "not even close" to 70 but, whatever

I mean, it got to 65. I predicted 68 but the southerly wind held the temp at 64 for hours.

I believe it was 11/16/02: Ice Storm Of November 2002 – Hartford Courant

I meant how far back for ZR?

Wow, I'm glad you never hired me that's too much work lol. I believe I had 72" in '04-'05...which is my second highest total since I started tracking in 2000-01. Idk, I was surprised how many and how close together there were a bunch of like 5-9" events. That's pretty solid as opposed to the stupid 1-3" crap of this winter. I understand what you mean though. When it happens that late in the season you're battling sun angle and it feels less wintry with Tip warm car seat season setting in. I didn't realize what a bust that storm was for us. I knew it was better out east but yeah, that looks like disjointed crap. I saw your ice storm archive that's a cool addition. How far back do you think you'll go? I'm hoping you add the Novie '02 storm. That's my siggy icing event. We lost power for like 4 or 5 days because we were on the extreme southern end of so they tended to us last lol.

7? I think you meant 9 lol

Yeah still 64 here at BDL...been stuck at it for like 2 hours. I figured the south winds would cut down on the torch potential. Looks like Kev's 70 will have to wait.

Yeah, I'm like an Alzheimer's patient. I noticed I asked you about Feb 2015 several years ago and then asked about it again this year It still stings though. I was weenieing out and looking at your seasonal snowfall maps and all the individual events. That looks like it was a ton of work. I think 2/5/01 should be added to the historic storm list. I also questioned the Thomaston total on several occasions but I can't remember for which storms. I think your total for my area is too high for '09-'10. Granted I lived in Danbury part of the time but I still think I'm pretty sure we didn't crack 40". It was crazy to see how many years they totally cashed in from eastern CT to eastern MA. They had 100"+ several times. I've never even come close, most I had was 82" in '02-'03. I didn't realize how good '04-'05 was though comparatively not that great when looking at the totals out on the Cape lol. It had a string of solid moderate events in February and March.

Sensors back up and running 64/26

Did you get screwed in December '20?

Lol...just part part time usually one or two shifts per week. Great pay though.

FYI it's a "fake" reading. Just got to work a half hour ago and found out they're doing sensor maintenance so we're just pulling temp data from a wunderground station and dew point data from HFD lol.

Wow, Jan '22 was noose worthy for western CT. Looks like eastern sections cashed in...thanks for all the info. '19-'20 and '22-'23 are the only winters I missed so it's kinda funny they were two of the worst ever.

Meanwhile, the GFS is an absolute blow torch in the LR. Euro somewhat warm as well but GFS at 18z spit out a 75 burger lol. Euro lost it's rogue cold snap for the Equinox.
