I’m sure you have seen worse from this forum.

Why can’t I ever get dendrites like this in an actual snowstorm?

Up to .50” already. Fluffy

Moderate snow in Greenfield, solid coating already. 22F

I mean, it has certainly given me the most fantasy snow over the years so yeah!

So N MA got more this past Thursday than it will from Mon/Tue system? I'm skeptical but that would be quite a remarkable turn of events if it happened.

It also give me 2" of snow tonight. Tossed.

That is crazy.

It could still end up the biggest storm of the year for some so there’s that. At least this winter will help cure weenies of their obsession with -NAO wrt to snow. Doesn’t always work out, hey?

Last week’s abnormal warmth and then single digits overnight is definitely not the best thing for fruit trees.

Well, let’s hope we get some more snow chances because for a two weeks of March definitely don’t look warm.

Nice informative write-up as usual!

8° Gonna’ be a chilly Saturday.

There hasn’t really been much sign of that yet though.

There are a lot of CT posters who would gladly take that much. Anything over 4" snowfall and I'll be happy because my kid and his friends have had very short sledding windows. Now we have the ice base and some snow on top would be awesome. I'll track storms a week out but I generally don't get too invested until inside of 72 hours. If this ends up being pedestrian it's by no means a bust, to me, because the big potential, still needed a lot of moving parts to come together. To me "busts" only occur inside of 48 hours.

I just saw that someone is trying to turn the old “Whately ballet” into a topless cannabis dispensary! https://www.thebluntness.com/posts/topless-dancers-and-bottomless-buds-massachusetts-strip-club-signals-desire-to-open-a-dispensary-inside-its-club-01gsx05nbzah/amp

The big gusts are lifting sheets of ice off of buildings in downtown Greenfield. Pedestrians beware.

Sort of a hybrid SWFE? The trends we wouldn’t want to see is a weaker wave that speeds up. The “initial thump is what we are relying on and sometimes those are over quicker than modeled. This could surprise still end up being an 8”-12” for a lot of folks or we might be shaving 20% off that. When my kid asked me this morning how much snow we are getting I realistically told him 4”-6” because, I would rather him be surprised than disappointed.

I don’t think he wants the snow.

We have already had a soil temperature post, next I need a sun angle post for the bingo card.

However, snow can still conduct cold through it. If ponds get an inch of ice on them in December and then several inches of snow, it doesn’t mean they will only have an inch of ice on them until the snow melts and we get more cold. That were the case even NNE would have some terrible ice fishing season.

I’ve done that trip more times than I can count.

Temperature at home went from 28° an hour or so ago up to 31° now. Wasn’t expecting that.

I had 2.5” in the driveway but it actually cleared pretty well with the snow blower. It was still soft enough underneath that they were no problems.

28/27 with light sleet and rain. Greenfield DPW we’re late out of the gate this morning so roads were terrible.
