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.

OT but Christmas Eve too into early Xmas day. Shows how good patterns can whiff and bad patterns can produce.

I’ll take the 1-3 I get from gfs at this point.

No shame. Anthony you’re better than this

Channeling Dylan’s narrative in the song the Hurricane “wait a minute boys, this one’s not dead”

Certainly depicts a nice dump SE of BOS near the canal and a small tick away from nailing Boston and metro west.

Markedly different at the surface vs 12z

I’m thinking 18z NAM may well deliver nicely.

Well if you just look at Boston and metro west, 1993-94 was a major all timer. Certainly in my top 3 experienced as is 2014-15 and probably 1960-61. 1995-96 goes to #4 due to the spectacular melts-lasting for weeks.

Yes but tbf everyone in the business is looking for clicks. That’s the business.

Cranky is a hack. Lots of beer and edibles in here today.

I thought NAM was chasing convection off of the SE coast possibly messing up this run.

This. Also I want to add that rural living people have worse health outcomes primarily due to the lack of access to care. It is much more common for doctors to stay in the city or suburbs. So while rural living may be healthier in many ways, people have less access to healthy food, poorer internet connectivity, poor access to doctors. This country needs to prioritize equalizing broadband for everyone-it is a necessity. We also should be giving incentives for medical providers to care for rural based patients. Honestly whenever I think of moving seriously rural I run into the conundrum of how to care for my wife and I as we get older and older. So we stay put.

I turned 64 ahead of a great winter stretch. Time flies. I thought having more free time in semi retirement would slow it down but it feels like it’s speeding up!

It’s somewhat quacky. I’ve come to realize that the main driver of longevity is luck. But I had an old friend nearing 100 in good shape who always said that people with a sunny disposition who can manage the inevitable crises of life live longer. Attia makes some good points but a lot of it is just common sense. I’m 78 and fine and frankly convinced that it’s mainly due to luck plus privilege plus the determination to ignore people’s advice and power through aches and pains. Prioritize strength training, walking at least 5 miles per day, omnivore eating, and fiber. I’ve prioritized fiber now for 50 years based on readings when I was in my late 20s. The worst is processed foods and sugar. Also statins for many of us are wonder drugs.

What value does that have for you?

Honestly by d5 that’s not even noteworthy.

Through 12/16: BOS: -2.1 ORH: -1.7 PVD: -3.0 BDL: -0.6 * The takeaway is the cold didn’t make the month snowy. Some got snow on weird ways but the biggest qpf events were rain.

For day 15?

He missed 2014-15 I think. That stings

"Shorter of breath, one day closer to death...."

Euro will determine dead or alive as the tie breaker.
