Best winter since 2014-2015 here. March is always hit or miss in this area, so I'm not going to deduct major points for it. It was cold, it was snowy, and Christmas wasn't ruined by some cutter that brings 55 degree temps on Christmas Eve/Day (even though there wasn't any snow otg here). You take what you can get. A

Euro weeklies show above average temps the first 10 days of April... back end of that could be wet though.

0.01 is the numerical indicator for “trace” on the spreadsheet. You can’t enter trace on a spreadsheet without it breaking the auto-sum functionality…

I don't remember saying anything, but according to my table I'm at 64.9 for the season in Bristol, RI https://newenglandsnowfallrecords.blogspot.com/

925 mb temps are about 40-45 degrees, so doubtful.

Your area will eventually jackpot again - this one wasn't just in the cards. Your overall seasonal forecast was pretty good with what the generalized weather ended up being for our area. It's almost fantasy baseball season. Enjoy the other things in life! My dynasty league is hitting season 20 this year...

Spring is in the air. The yard stick was at 36" after the storm, and we are down to 14". Lots of sun and melting last few days...

I've been converting the radar loops from GIF to MP4 files using Handbrake. It's free. You set the GIF file as the "Source" and then I use the preset "Social 25 MB 5 Minutes 360p60". Seems to take the largest GIF's and get them below my rather low attachment limit size. You can play around with the presets to see which one works best for what you want to post. GIF's are very inefficient for showing motion graphics, they just happen to be an open standard that's been around forever, so if you don't have a file size to worry about they work, especially since it's easy to take one still image and make it a frame in a GIF.

It's nice to not be in the snow hole for some of these bigger storms.

Haven’t left my street yet. No downed trees in my immediate neighborhood.

Updated Public Information Statement with Snowfall Totals and Wind Gusts is up: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=box&issuedby=BOX&product=pns Heh - gusted to 65 MPH here as well in the AM. Looks like my 30 burger holds up to the spotters in my area. Amazing.

To paraphrase Jim Morrison - just broke on through to the other side. Going with 31”. Hard to gauge but measured a few spots and subtracted some pack.

Cleanup commencing. Above my waste.

Another 30-35 dbz band incoming here... insanity...

I'll be honest, I'm only judging based on whats close to the house. Sometimes that's denser because it melts a little from the heat leaking out and making it settle. I'm actually hopeful it's more powdery so I can try and cut through it with my very undersized snow thrower if I chop it down appropriately.

RI State of Emergency extended for another 24 hours (at least).

Could build an addition out of this stuff, eskimo style.

Yes pretty sure my shitty "Snow Joe" electric snow thrower is not going to handle this well, lol.

Just does not want to end here… jeez…

It’s dense and sticky. Not sure what I’m going to do to tackle this. That’s snow stuck to the frame of the door when I opened it.
