I’m out officially by Sunday. Enjoy what comes fellas. My only lament is Florida looks coolish at least for the first week I’m there. Good luck piling up some snow. I’ll turn the heat down on my way out the door and hopefully save a few bucks. The mid January to mid February bill is $675.

2015 had hints but the 0Z euro at 60 hours had a blizzard seemingly out of nowhere. The rest is history.

For me, snow total is 80% of the grade while retention is 10%, cold 10%. Since retention is dependent on cold it’s kind of 80/20. Overall grade to date is a D.

Wind howling for sure but honestly it’s not like this type of wind doesn’t happen probably 4-6 times a year. My wife and I walked after the flash freeze late last night. We put on our Nano Spikes and it was like walking with no risk. They’re staying on the boots probably this entire week.

Outside of the epic late January through February 2015, 93-94 was my favorite winter. Cold and snow more or less belly to belly (ginxy expression). 95/96 had a bit more snow but the meltdown in January and again later in February takes it down somewhat. But in 95-96 we had snow otg for most of December-February as well as a nice system late in November. 1992-93 was my 2nd winter back from California and it was pretty good. I was in Dallas for superstorm in March but even afterwards snow kept coming. Of course my favorite all time winter was 1960-61.

Now we know. Of all the ineeds, snow wins.

Cory, it was modeled. This is not an elevation event. In fact, elevation in some places was a deterrent. Check out the modeled snow from most sources yesterday. Your latitude hurt you, nothing else had much of an impact.

Everyone in the pike region got 5-6”. Logan measured 5.4” at 7AM today. That was well modeled and you are like 50 miles south of Ray.

Almost made me check but after a long walk in moderate to heavy snow I poured some bourbon so no dice.

2.75” and snowing. Looks like sleet is on the MA/CT border though washing out some furthest east.

lol…all the gloom and doom scared uncle away.

Ala 12/16/07 snowing hard here-been out walking for the past hour. I measured 1.5 on the way out an hour ago so it has to be 2+ now. Depending on how cc looks I’ll either wait until I get up tomorrow around 10 to shovel or consider doing a late night once over.

Yeah I’m looking forward to the warmth.

Well I’m out a week from tomorrow when we leave for Chicago a few days followed by florida until 3/18. So this thread represents my last threat most likely.

Your biggest fear is palpable in your posts…the possibility that EOR gets 8-14 while you get a sandy 3-6. Probably neither happens but your angst is showing.

Well 18z euro sucked unless you’re in Virginia beach.

Occlusion could suppress the warm sector and produce light intermittent snows. When you see a model snowing when it shouldn’t that often what it’s telling you.

I expect Monday to be howling. I didn’t expect the amount of wind last night and today. Once these systems blow up in the maritimes it gets windy.

3k is 12/16/07. Someone may be dumbfounded.

This season is subpar for most but the wintry stretch has made it look and feel like winter. But the lack of anything beyond middling is a big detraction. As of this moment, it is still a ratter.

Always hedge cold in these situations. It’s kind of like when models give you 84 with dews on 5/20 and you’re wondering why you’re rotting at 49.

I’m not sure if that means they actually publish the data but either way it’s news to me! Still/snow maps from all sources are suspect when one compares to verification.

To my knowledge none of the models assign ptype. All vendor driven. I guess the source data presumes that using some tools like a sounding anyone can figure it out.

You didn’t have to worry about pipes freezing for the October event. You do now. Maybe you should review turning off your water so if the power goes you minimize damage to your house.

Why can’t I get those 60s. Damn!
