Great Snow 1717

Likely because they are trying to sneak Cam Newton in for a tryout...

Going Duran on us???...."no mas no mas"

Long overdue for a new approach to developing weather models. Perhaps an approach similar to that of the chess super program Alpha Zero.

Does anyone know when DT will be issuing a new "Sideways Warning" ????

As I have mentioned, at this point it is best to wait to see if a storm develops, track it for a few days. No sense to fall for model(s) fantasy depictions....Doing so will only guarantee a fast and furious sideways path to disappointment...

I do not think of it as being a victim of bad luck.

Lets hope not because the winter of 21-22 was a grade F- winter

No surprise there. Persistence has won out.

For some odd reason I am betting on the cat being right...

It is OK to mention Kyrie Irving by name..

Ads have become a problem..

You sure will ...

been going on for at least a month in my neighborhood. Driest I have ever seen it. I've mowed the lawn once since the end of june.

Well it's been 37 days and the only thing going sideways is...

Nah, he's working on his winter forecast for the northeast instead of cold and snowy he is going snowy and cold for the northeast..

..it's along the same lines of men flipping through the SI Swimsuit issue and thinking "future wife"...

Have you noticed how much the climate of Methuen has changed since you moved to Methuen???

The models couldn't even get the forecast "right" for SNE today...despite the "event" being only a few hours away. Let's face it for the most part the models do a poor job of forecasting but especially so once past a few days. Considering how quiet it has been it is best to wait until something develops then track it for a few days. I am not sure why anyone puts any credence in a model(s) depiction that is 10-14 days away.

Maple Leaf fans figured out where you live...

It was difficult but there was a large open field at the cemetery so that made it somewhat easier to get a measurement. Hourly snowfall measurements certainly would have added up to a higher total.

I do not think they are crap at all. I measured 27.5 in Lawrence in an open field at the cemetery. And keep in mind that measurement took place Tuesday(Feb 7th) afternoon. Friends and I were on the way to the Reservoir in Lawrence to go sledding. To get there we had to walk by the cemetery. We took a yard stick with us to measure the snow. I recall it like it was yesterday lol

Hell no....at least 28-30 inches of snow. Huge drifts. Whiteout conditions for hours. Everything was closed for days. Transportation was halted. You had to be alive and of a certain age to truly understand the impact the Blizzard of 78 had on the Merrimack Valley area. Most of the streets in Lawrence and Methuen looked similar to the one below. And keep in mind that the picture was likely taken a couple of days after the blizzard had ended. My car was completely buried by snow and blowing snow. I could only see part of the antennae.

It sure was epic.
