    5.6”  20.5” YTD. Sucks but at least not in the basement.

    That's alright buddy. I got the basement covered for you.

    16.75" for the season so far, and have not touched the snowblower yet this season.

    That's true. My ground is still covered from the last sleet attack.

    I am convinced that my soil has something to with any frozen not sticking around like other places.  My frozen from last week was gone by Saturday.

    Actually no it’s not. It’s snow to ice. Again we don’t live in NYC or on the water 

      
    
Wednesday night and Thursday ...

Parent low enters the Great Lakes while secondary low forms along
the Mid Atlc coast and moves northeast along or near the CT/RI/MA
coastline early Thu before moving offshore Thu afternoon. Column is
initially cold enough to support snow but with mid level low
tracking well NW of southern New England, mid level warm air invades
the region changing snow to a wintry mix inland as secondary low
traps low level cold air.However
along the south coast should be enough low level warming for snow to
rain with temps climbing well into the 40s. Not a major storm by any
means but may have enough snow/wintry mix away from the south coast
for some travel impacts. As of now it looks like the bulk of the
precip occurs after the Wed evening commute and before the Thu
morning rush hour. However given the time range here (72+ hrs out),
the forecast timing will likely change by at least a few hours.

    Lol. That write-up doesn't say snow to ice.  I read that as a small burst of snow with another sh*try low track  to brief sleet to rain.

    Clarification... 

    "Luck" and "chance" are what occurs when the observer doesn't see or get to see, all the subtle forces in real time the effect the emergence of future circumstance/events.  That sounds similar to the plight of weather prognostics - duh! 

    If one could readily quantize/qualify all the Quantum States of every Plank-length virtual or real particle in real time ... with exactness ( something on the order of incalculably large ... Googleplex ... mind you )  then they would know what all possible permutations are available to a given domain space, in a given time; and then "chance" ... "luck" ... whatever we want call or define uncertainty, is no longer uncertain and therefore, ceases to exist.

    Until then?  To get around chance's rearing it's ugly unpropitious influence, or kindly favorable outcomes, would require something like omniscience be available to either the technology, or the artist. 

    Not happening ... 

    In other words, luck in human parlance is purely a function of human limitations.   Just get over it and move on... If you don't know, and things happen in favor, or against ... that is by definition chance working in favor or against... If you don't want to call it luck, when "luck" is defined by chance - than you have issues accepting either the language or the reality...  

    I suspect its the language... because one phenomenon I've noted about dealing with the public over the last decade of on and off involvement with social -media of this nature, is that when people are aggravated and p'ode and annoyed by what they are not getting out of the drama of modeling and/or the realization of the type of weather they want ... they redirect into vapid bickering over how others choose to describe thing.   Ugh - ice pick in the ear socket man...  Let it f'n go!   

     

    "then"

    Not a shadow of a doubt that it will nail that at 4-5 days out, while it missed the mid level warm tongue yesterday from 4-5 hours out.

    F^ck this winter, and the limp a$$, impotent mehdoki that it rode in on.

    Even if it did snow, the easter bunny would break both my legs with a giant dildo so that I couldn't enjoy it.

    Then we all live happily ever -NAO-in-May-brings-five-weeks-of-drizzle after.

    That felt good. Sorry, I’m human. 

    You and I are neck and neck with snow totals right now in our race to winter futility.  The 14.5" that I now have includes November where that one shot, 6" snow has been the biggest of the season so far, as well as the month with the most snow for me.

    Why is that bad?

    seriously...this is a good op for delving deeper into the murky psychology of 'why this crap matters' so much ...

    If it snows 4 or 5" ...then cuts to sleet and freezing rain, that's fine... Or should be - I'm starting to really get a loss to figure out what it is people are after.  I think it's a conditioning issue...

    IF we had endured a steady diet of snowy events... this would be a pleasant diversion?  But, since we have not experienced, ...pretty much any exciting winter of modeling histrionics combined with fruitfully snowing outputs... this is some kind of intolerable asshole event.  :)  ..Funny watching en mass, sheep be herded along by the vicissitudes of modeling AI -

    seems like it... 

    Reality check ...for me anyway.  If it snows 4 or 5" and then we get advisory level icing over top, that's fascinating phenomenon period. 

    People are just looking for a nice, significant snowfall, minus the freezing rain, sleet, or rain.  I am not sure why that is so hard to figure out.  It's been part of what has driven people on this board for years.  Some people want to see an all snow event.  

    It may not be what people will get, but it's what some (at this point SNE people) are looking to have weatherwise in the winter.  This is nothing new, and nothing to shame people about.

    We pretty much knew this last week...the handwriting was on the wall then for most spots.  High elevations in the NW and NE will have a lil ice.

    Yeah, and the snowy solution for next week that was talked about last week will disappoint SNE as well.

    Maybe March will pull through with a 12"+ storm.

    eps is pretty bad..my feeling is next week is close the shades, week of feb11th we start to have some fun.. good thing because my travel starts week of 27th and won't be around the NE much till late March so hopefully I can see some winter before that.

    If that is the same kind of "fun" we were supposed to have the week of 1/19 up until now I'd rather go straight to spring.
