Next week looks like shite..not sure if that has been discussed. I'm sure it has

FINAL seasonal total: 12.2" 

Just eeked out last year

ticks I imagine will be at an all-time bad this warm season.  Lack of sustained cold seems to be correlated to all these increasing numbers of critters.  Not just that ... but the whole invading southern species thing.  Either taking advantage of a retreating frost line that no one in here admits while claiming they don't deny climate change ( snark intended - ), or even climate refugee diaspora in the animal kingdom in general, there's weird colored bugs with poky parts everywhere now that I don't recall ever seeing having lived my life along 40 N.

The week after this Thanks Giving, I pulled a tick off my person.  I'm like Dec 2nd?!  We're pullin' f'n ticks off in the winter now I guess. 

I don't see how the last 10 years of statistical changes in the insect population was alleviated by this particular winter's shirking.

Seriously, I was hoping to wait and use the expensive cat/tick meds until spring.but looks like I have to start now. Thanks Greta

I think you can start by looking at 1998-1999 next year....better hope and pray the ACE gets over 200 this summer IMHO.

I'd take that if we could pull off a slightly closer version of Feb 99

CMC gave me a laugh at day 7

I don't expect it to be warm here any time soon with SSTs near 40...maybe if we can eek out a couple days with a westerly or wsw flow, otherwise, misery

I mean .... Dogs being walked have to pee somewhere. 

My dog goes in my backyard. never pees or poops on walks when leashed

Let’s do it. Hoping it’s right at this point. But Just let’s keep it going. Would suck to snap back and get cold and wet in mid March…

0 chance it would keep going.

Very strange looking map for mid Feb 

was actually driving through "interior" Upper Cape today and you can tell the differences in depth. Areas like Forestdale/ South Sandwich/Marston Mills have a few more inches of depth than where I live, closer to the ocean. Those 8"+ reports were legit in those areas. Had about 6" here, but depth is down to 2-3" in shaded areas, and some bare spots where the sun hits

Excellent, let's spice this thread up some. Now I'm invested in the outcome

Although likely snowless, doesn't look that great to me over next couple weeks. If it's not 50s and 60s, I don't want out. I see a couple days of muted warmth at the end of February..meh

GEPS actually looked good to me. Several sub 980s near BM

Thanks man I feel so much better now.

this forum is full of chicken soup for your soul

Any reports out of ACK? 

2022 summer drought was pretty horrific in these parts

light snow and a dusting so far. if I'm lucky maybe I'll be treated to a quarter inch

Might be fighting some dry air further east, so could use another tick N. best is south coast of CT, block island, ACK

That makes me want to drink moonshine.

let e24 verify and then we can move on to spring 

Saturday looks like shite so far at 12z..NAM and that crappy hires FV3 model.vLets see if REGGIE comes back to earth or doubles down 

VDay was tough for some, i get it. no need to lash out

I completely do.. my point was only, do you call for a complete March Torch! Yes or no? 

It could mostly torch for all I care, but hoping we can thread the needle for a HECS. And no one is capable of predicting it will/won't happen.

Except that it has factually per what has actually really modeled to be trending S

Maybe compared to what was modeled several days ago. last few runs of the euro and RGEM have ticked back north a bit. I get it though, this won't affect most in the area.

Seems like a 1-3/2-4” type deal pike south 

If it trends a bit north, possibly

For southern sections of SNE, Saturday still on the table for a couple inches per the RGEM/Euro/EPS. Let's see if it can keep trending north at 12z

Morning of 2/15/15 then 2nd pic is the next day
