Worst back to back seasons or close to it. 

Seems like the new normal. I’m starting to get used to these mild, meh snowfall winters. I know we’ll eventually get ours, but I’m less annoyed this winter vs. last.

Rusty coat hanger since December 2022.

Only at 9” on the season here too. We regress. We move on. 

The moon is shining through the overcast here. Not expecting anything overnight. 

Pulling for CNE and NNE on this one. I’m all set with a messy slop fest personally, if I had my choice. Ten years ago, sure, slop was good. Now, it’s more of a nuisance to daily life that isn’t wanted. 
 

Now, if the boundary can slip far enough south of us to give SNE mostly snow, let’s go. We’d need a break though. HP slipping E doesn’t fill me with tons of confidence. 

This cold snap achieved one thing. SSTs dropped 2-3F in the past week. Every degree matters on the coast.  Good Harbor (Gloucester) is down to 41F.

Snowfall to date in CT. I'm going to attempt to make a SNE map for the first time for this as well. We'll see how that goes. Reports are from here, cocorahs and official climo sites. 

Next to it is where we were last year at this time, 8 days later to be exact. 

Eerily similar.

Next week looks like has mid atlantic written all over it.

Only thing better than a toaster is watching mid atlantic take SNE weenie's snow. 

 

Thanks…heading to the store to load up on bread, milk, and booze now. 

Happy 19th anniversary of one of the good ones that helped shaped me into being the weather weenie I am today.

Does Friday clear out and shoot to 55F+. Half day of work and hoping to enjoy it. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em I guess.

So a warm cold rain instead of just plain warm rain.  

For this reason, this got me. Nearly spit out my coffee.

We got slammed here in Buffalo 70-85” this week in hardest hit areas, 76” here 

Looks like Feb 2015 here. Those were the days.

Can’t wait for the PNA spike to spike a rusty coat hanger  into my bum with more rain. 

If you’re current on your tetanus shots, just enjoy it.  Maybe we catch a break. I’m traveling Feb 4-9, so let’s get it in before then.

Just for fun. A last second shortwave dives out of Canada and builds HP behind it

Only 10 more days to go!  Tip has been honking about a 1/30 signal. 

When I hear ice storm from DIT, my eyes glaze over in the same manner as when I hear about severe from Wiz during the warm season.

Yeah, he’s pretty much nailed it to this point. I’m also not sure I’d call a 5-10 day window a “pattern change”, more like a transient favorable period. And of course, without fail, and predictably, we managed to get the most mundane outcome out of said period.

I’ve had gas last longer than 5-10 days. Nothing a match or two couldn’t fix. 
 

Let’s see if we can score a point or two with the clock running out in a less than favorable look. 

All of a sudden I have a hankering for Chinese.

28F and dim sun here too.

Nah, its great conversation and interesting food for thought. Will be interestig to see if the multi decedal signal flips back in the coming years, as it has in the past.

We’ll be telling our grandkids about living through the lean snow years of the 2020s…

the last time we collectively melted down it led to a disappearing Pope and snow on snow in a lot of New England.  What will the next 2 weeks bring?  

A GOA low and Baringer running in to punt Feb?!

I’m approaching the point of the season where I was at Week 6 with the 2023 NE Patriots. Might as well tank it and hope for draft picks. Add another regression deposit to the bank. 

Ha, I booked Rochester, NY. 

Looks like we took a step back overnight. And man, the end of the 6z GFS looks like a springtime map. CONUS on fire with New England the only cold (and dry) spot. 
 

Perhaps a sneaky DD or two next week while we straddle the boundary with temps shooting into the 50s for those potential DD days. That’s about as much as we can hope for at this point. 

Fire up the February 2024 thread!  We’re done here.

12”+ from Central  Connecticut to Central Maine with lollis to 20”

 

 

And no coastal taint. I don’t think I’ve had an all snow event of 4+ in at least a few years.

Ops will op. The key will be to keep this look and not see a trend north. Ensembles are all over 

Agree. I’d feel better from Dendrite land on north.  We will see how this shakes out. Eventually things will need to break in our favor to balance out. 

I know we’re all jaded, but that 18z GFS run was pure winter for SNE north. Snowy overrunning system Wed. More snow Friday. Another pulse late weekend/Mon. Then the Arctic hounds are unleashed. I don’t know how the GEFS look…but that was a nice OP run.

"some bitch about the whiners which just adds to the whining."

Why can't folks see this?

They’re the same folks that reply all to yell at the people who previously replied all. Despicable if you ask me.
