Well tbf the model puts out qpf, not snow totals.

You should catch up pretty quickly once that cf drops south. Fingers crossed on the goods due south of us.

Moderate snow, starting to pile up. I can easily see 4 or more given 1.5 already down, current radar presentation and elimination of the milder conditions earlier.

We fatty...and i don't mean lunch....

Steady light to moderate snow. CF sagged SE of me and I'm accumulating more efficiently on paved surfaces with an increasing snow intensity. I'm happy.

Been snowing all morning. Beautiful tree caking and everything covered-looks like about an inch so far? All OES so far and hopefully we get into the meat later coming up from the south.

It actually had 0.5 qpf for you. It certainly was improved vs yesterday. Brett, I know it’s been a tough year for you but sometimes the glass IS half full. Happy Holidays.

Gfs pretty robust. Time for bed. Hopefully 1-3 as a floor here.

Yeah just got by from Logan-a few flakes here.

I remember going to a game in the 1970s in December. It was sunny but highs were in the 20s. The only thing I remember about the game was mini Mac Herron running back a punt for 76 yards and a TD. After the game it must have taken us 2 hours before we could move our legs…lol.

CMC looks decent for EMA actually.

I jack on that map. I’m good at jacking in dinkleshit events.

I came back from shopping which had the NAM open to 9 hours when I got in the car. Meanwhile I had peeked at srefs (wtf is wrong with me!) and noted the bump. By the time I got home I saw the NAM and started laughing. I am taking my daughter to the airport for a 6am flight. We’ll leave around 4:15am. I probably could get her there in time to make the flight if I leave at 4:30. I’m staying up until I get back home. Probably asleep by 6, hopefully sleep until around 1. Should hopefully be snowing when I get up for good. I trained last night by staying up for the 6z NAM and getting into bed at 4:15am.

Good times! Youth and snow and fun. Happy Holidays John!

John, I grew up in NNJ during some epic times featuring March of 1956, February and March of 1958, March of 1960 and of course the trifecta of 1960-61. However, leaving for LA in November of 1976 returning in July 1991 cost me 78-a bitter pill I will take to my grave. You’re in a great spot now with enough elevation to add plenty to the sea level climo. Where did you grow up?

I don’t anyone has a choice but 2012-13 high snow but mild winter is ideal for me. 2/8/13 began with marginal temperatures but who wouldn’t take 2-3 feet again? Same for 3/8/13 but snow more like 18-24

Ahh-I thought you meant what has fallen vs climo normal for the season.

I think officially it’s over 99% to go.

We’re probably close age. I remember as a hungry snow weenie around age 11 waiting for the forecast which included 2 additional days and when you listened and heard “the outlook for Saturday and Sunday is sunny and cold Saturday. Increasing cloudiness and continued cold Sunday indicating a chance. That was good enough back then. But then again the internet opened us up to a world that revealed so many just like us. Before the net we had this “weird obsession with weather”

This system is already exhausting me——for a freaking inch of snow I’m already snapping at people. Sorry everyone.

NAM is the only half credible model out. Call it on an island in 2 hours if that’s the turnout. Seriously.

Also aren’t srefs run off of NAM initialization? So 21z would be off of 18z NAM?

That’s 3-5 here. Upping the ante some.

I do remember during severe obsession days checking off first the dgex aka defect, then the srefs a few hours later, then NAM etc. back in the early 2000s euro only ran a 12z suite, few had access to anything other than course maps in 24 hour intervals. You weenies have no idea how hard it will be for you to get sober!

There seems to be persistent cj signaling with the Friday system extending residence time for the snow.
