In the past there would still be 1 or 2 models showing eye candy at this range, even if ultimately wrong. Now they just all agree on basically OTS. I'm all set hanging my hat on a few ensemble members
Id actually take 2012 over this year. Slightly more total snow this year but all of that came in Nov and early December. That season produced a storm with 11" in late January...so that's the winnah. Not everyone got that storm..so yeah I don't expect anyone to share that sentiment

Same - even if the rest of January is punted to the 1 yard line... we should still be able to manage an average season with nickle and dimers in Feb/March.

Looking back at 1/22/05..i remember reporting depth as my total..as an ignorant youth. 26" OTG was likely 30"-35" for a total.
Around 12-13" depth for this storm. Ended up with around 13.5 -14" total
2010/2011 was prob my most frustrating Winter, just based on how close the rain/snow line was to mby.
I vaguely remember 3/2001 - but I do recall solid OES during the 2nd half of the storm.
The model bust around 3/17 was a disappointment..I remember a bunch of models temporarily (maybe 2 or 3 cycles) showing a huge hit for eastern mass...then it completely evaporated within 48 hours.
I don't recall much of the cape changing over at all, so I wouldn't be surprised in the 15+" amounts. If anything, they were fighting a dry slot vs rain/mix.
