We wait, we watch.

I remember that winter and MIT had ice sailers out on the river basin.

I’m more interested in Thurs/Fri model runs for this one.

Maybe an NYC South deal.

You probably had a little more than that. I measured it about 5:30 AM before any sleet mixed in.

2” here in Greenfield with -SN in this last batch. Everything is plastered.

The high Greens in VT and the AT between Rangely and Katahdin are also sneaky dangerous if taken for granted.

See through, clear black ice is the best! 3”+ thick you could drive a car on.

Wait, I thought @CoastalWx was the designated slap down, weenie deflator?

If nothing else, at least it’s a separate storm focused thread, where us non-Mets can continue to learn little pieces of information, about atmospheric dynamics,

To me, the Doors and The Velvet Underground, are bands that I have to be in the mood for and then can appreciate small doses. Kind of like August humidity,

Minimal snow cover with deep anomalous negative temperatures is essential for tick control. Anomalous dry weather from April to June will also get it done. I’m a tick obsessive weather weenie.

Well, winter vibe is always special because you never know how short of a trip it will be.

Nice snow shower. Solid coating on everything.

“To determine freezing degree days and how fast your favourite lake will build up ice, start by taking the average temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) over the past 24 hours. So, let’s say that the daytime high yesterday was 30 F and the night time low was 20 F. This means the average temperature was 25 F. Now, subtract the average temperature (25 F) from the freezing point of water (32 F) and we get 7 freezing degree days. If the day time high was 20 F, on the other hand, and the night time low was 0 F, the average temperature would have been 10 F, giving us 22 freezing degree days (32 F – 10 F = 22 FDDs). See how simple it is? Now, based on the studies that have been done, once a thin sheet of ice has formed on a lake, it will typically increase at the rate of one inch / 15 freezing degree days (FDDS). So, if we go back to our examples, this means that on the relatively warm day, when there were 7 FDDs, the lake made about one half-an-inch of ice over the 24-hour period. But, on the much colder day, when we experienced 22 FDDs, the lake made about 1.5-inches.” https://myfishingpartner.com/how-fast-does-your-lake-make-ice/

So I see this is going well…

Of course no snowflakes but plenty of cloud cover to keep the day dark and dismal. Cold, high of 25° so far. Really hoping next week can deliver a little something Wintery to keep the vibe alive.

12”+ from Central Connecticut to Central Maine with lollis to 20”

Honestly with just a quick glance in the models I think it’s game on for the interior next week.

Apples to oranges, it’s one of several reasons I don’t live in the south.

I just plan on it every year. I’m still optimistic we can salvage an OK winter, at least out this way.

Be nice to just get even .25” here to freshen the landscape.

Feb ‘13 was 24” in Greenfield, my best storm since we moved here in 07/08. January 2005 was 30”+ in parts of Cambridge and Somerville. Most I’ve ever recorded (32”) a top 3 storm for me.

Prayer? That’s basically communion wafer crumbs.

Probably had a little more than that, stuff really settled.
