Remember to always take the over in spring on sunny days and no vegetation 

What about Uconn players livin' it up too much in Vegas prior to game time this week?

Yeah, it's climo.  First day of spring here.  Grabbed this shot just after 7pm (sunset now after 7!) on our way to get groceries at Shaws.

Would be very fun if the Mansfield Stake tops 100" of depth after worries in beginning of February that winter may have peaked or been done.  Not going to lie, it was looking bleak there. Been a fun stretch to be honest.  If it continues for another few weeks somehow, this would be a great comeback winter.

One more large QPF rich snow event would do it.  Not a gloat; we know not many actually care on the forum.  Don't blame anyone either, all we can do is just give observations of our own local areas.

Might be some potential coming up.  Maybe not, but it seems CNE/NNE is in the game.  Maybe it lucks out underneath and SNE gets some wound up blue bomb instead.  It is cut-off season.

Honest post.

Great pic.

Tons…but remember, “snow is not a team sport”

Indeed.  I apparently did not work as hard for my snow as Dendrite did for his.  I need to get back to basic skills, and technique training prior to next winter.

I mean, if it were to be a legit event, sure...but odds are it would be another marginal lube job that would leave the majority trying to sneak a peak through the crack of altitudes bedroom door.

The Pope did a great job with his forecasts this winter, I have to give credit where it’s due. Analogs and the long range models are good tools but the Pope correctly assessed that the presence of geese in November was a red flag. Animals have no sense of the calendar, the way they tell the seasons are changing is based off the present weather, the landscape, etc. Being able to accurately prepare for the change of seasons is literally a matter of life and death for animals, as they are forced to endure a level of exposure to the elements that we have the luxury of avoiding. They are far more in tune with the elements than we are, so I do think seasonal forecasters would benefit from incorporating analysis of animal behavior into their forecasts. Yeah it’s a strange method yeah, but if it works it works. I thought it was dumb at first too,  but throughout the winter it became more and more clear that I was being too closed minded. Instead of just discounting something because it seems dumb, strange, or is telling us something we don’t want to hear, it’s good to keep an open mind. 

Agreed,  F.uck technology, it's a burden and more of an eyesore than geese.

We've seen a great improvement thanks to technological enhancements and fine-tuning the theory. Not even debatable. My basis is we're stagnating here, and it's not because of the former; but an over-reliance on it. And some take this further with an arrogance to ignore everything else, "we know everything, that's relevant to weather forecasting". No, we don't. 

In mathematical terms, we've hit a forecasting asymptote. More effort of staring at models is not creating more accurate forecasts.

Thanks.

Forecast verification. Could have been better the gradient was much tighter, nearly a razors edge and elevation oriented. NW CT was slightly too low and NE CT a bit too high. All things considered i don't think it was too bad. From what i saw we were one of the lowest out there, especially for southern half of CT. We issued a short-fused update after the storm was underway and snow already falling in NW CT which was much better with the gradient but i'm only using the final call for verification. 

Grade: C+

Can you put a circle of white in the Killingly/ Dayville area to indicate the 0.0 that I received.

Thanks in advance for your continued recording of this disaster of a season.

My 0.10" brings my total up to 11" on the season also.

Congrats, brothers in futility we are.

Pretty nice with all the paste . Most likely last of season now . Disappointing season, but Morch has been ok 

Looks nice. I will live vicariously through you and the rest of new England who received snow. 

My total was somewhere between 0.0 and 0.00, either way, well below the warning criteria that was issued.

Of all of the winter storms to produce worthless results this one was indeed the King Queen.  Queen Brenda was the one futile storm to rule all futile storms. The futility was so on-point with the rest of the season.  I actually shed a tear this morning as I looked back in delight, recalling how this storm slowly began to rage, ultimately building into a perfect crescendo of nothing.  At it's wet, white teasing peak this final blast of winter brilliantly failed me one last time.  And it did so in grand fashion...a wonderfully precise, in-tune orchestration of wind, and cold rain, ultimately ending as a fervor of white rain...again...one more time, kicking a beaten man while down. 

I don't think I will ever witness such a LeBron James type flop in my lifetime.   

I will admit, I was scared as I thought I would indeed limp up to 12" for the season (a mark that I have been trying to avoid).  The forecast called for anywhere from 4"-8", but lucky for me I stuck to my guns, and this goal was ultimately thwarted, and I am happy to report that I am still at 11" for the season. 

Congrats to those who received anywhere from .5" - 36"

At least there's a reason for a snowplow in your hood.
