What happened to the man up grab balls and push the weak aside Ditty from yesterday?

At what point do we entertain the real possibility of futility?  I mean the pattern is good but the we're in a serious slump.  Sometimes slumps are season long.

More like half a decade at this point.

Meh, still better than day trading.

Besides 2015, I feel like it is always the GFS that caves in these less than 5 day battles.....hopefully it's the GFSs turn

Not sure if it’s still the case, but GFS always sucked at east coast cyclogenesis. Badly missed Feb ‘13 right up to go time. Of course, the Euro isn’t what it once was and the GFS is much improved. Does the Euro still have a penchant for holding energy back in the SW? Perhaps that could be playing a role?

This isn't Feb 2013. I get a Jan 2011 vibe a bit with that precip distribution and temps...but that was more nrn stream I believe.

I would take a repeat of either or those in a heartbeat. I’d only ask that the heaviest snow fall during the day, but that doesn’t appear to be on the table here

Ray is all in on a Jan 2015 redux.

Can we make it Feb 2013 instead? 2015 wasn't that great in these parts.

I get the feeling this system, or non-system, is going to be the meteorological equivalent of Ramsay Bolton torturing Theon in Game of Thrones. This thing just feels like it will be a COC tease followed by castration.

So basically all my seasonal snowfall of the 2020s to date. Where do I sign?

Another 50 miles for southern CT.  Just moved 250 miles since 00z run .. we will see

We can hope.

Anyone see that line of lights rising upward (my west).  Weird.

I honestly believe that a sub 10” snowfall season is possible in SNE as a hypothetical bottom. 

Been there, done that two years ago. And nearly last year if not for a last minute stick save.

Meh, par for the course at this point.

Yeah but you’ve always been negative.

Seriously, if I ever saw him post something positive, I'd probably call in a wellness check.

A very intense low near Long Island 03-01-1914 was near 950. NYC's lowest SLP.

 

All very high impact situations. 

... and also full moon, tidal surge potential.

Interesting that you brought this system up. Way back in 1914, one of the clubs at Fishers Island had its clubhouse built right over South Beach. The March '14 nor'easter washed it completely away and the club's officers prudently decided to rebuild it well away from the water (although the '38 hurricane did a number on that structure as well). Anyway, every so often to this day, the old clubhouse stone footers get exposed after a big storm.

Let’s break Mt Washington’s wind record. Why the hell not?

Holy fook what a run that was. This is the porn I come here for.

You wonder how bad it is has to get before it gets better. You think rock bottom was hit until you hit something lower…then you see an epic pattern that makes the best Brooklyn animations and but quickly realize he was sent down my mother nature to simply perform another cosmic COC tease dancing on your lifeless body.  

Expect nothing, and if you get a flurry you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Feb 2010 still hurts. We were so close to something beyond even Jan 2011. Especially for the "Snowicane" being in Danbury for that I could smell the rain/snow line.

That winter was a brutal kick in the nards in general, but that storm in particular still hurts. And yet I'd take the 2010 season over the last several any day.

Yeah that was an impressive month. CT was ground zero but we all had our own jackpots I feel like. Ground zero started in CT but then it moved northeast it felt like….CT jackpotted in the 1/12 HECS and the norlun on 1/7-8. 

Your area jackpotted in the sneaky clipper/redeveloper on 1/21/11 and did well in the front ender on 1/18/11…then of course there was 1/27 which destroyed eastern half of SNE and you did really well again in the 2/1-2/2 storm. 

My second favorite winter period after '15. The norlun and HECS in close proximity was amazing.

Just now, WxWatcher007 said:

Benchmark please but I’m not picky. 

At this point covering the grass would feel like a HECS.

I can't remember which one it was...maybe it was 2013? But I remember getting royally screwed in West Hartford...I mean I think I still got around a foot or so but a far cry from the 18-24'' expected. I remember alot of pissed off people that night because the radar was just so bandy...it was like looking at a tropical system. 

Boxing Day? March '18? I have PTSD from both.

Those 940s are all tropical too. 

January 2018 is probably the most prominent in my mind (949 I believe), but I don't have a steel trap for dates and events like Will. My brain is more of a wet paper bag these days.

1938 cane around 938 at landfall I believe. Sandy around 940, but that was obviously Jersey. 2018 has gotta be at the top for winter systems.

We desperately need it for morale. Haven't seen a proper double digit nor'easter in our area since Feb 21. 

It has been an exceedingly rough stretch. I really hope we can pull off a good one next month.

Man, I'm salivating over this pattern and stoked to see fantasy storms showing up. Hopefully we can convert one or two into something tangible.
