But even this one is “weird”. How often does E RI get more snowfall than E MA when it’s not a scraper? The east/west snowfall gradient is an unusual (but not unheard of) one.

Boy the NAM has been consistently bullish on this event for many runs now. Interesting to see if it wins this one...

Looks to already have disappeared. The Keyser Soze of emoji…

Well that forced me to use thumbs down for the first time. Didn’t take long… Speak for yourself man. You start a “blizzard” thread and then you want it to rain? Now that’s gonna get you nodded at some point… and usually I enjoy the bullish perspective of your posts.

Had about 1” here before it lightened up. Nice to see it snowing at 20 degrees, very Feb 2015-ish lol…

It’s not looking terrible! Most promise for us coastal plainer’s since December. I’ll take it as at least it’s of interest to track the next few days.

Oh come on it’s been a Torch Tiger winter let the snow enthusiasts enjoy one south of the pike… even if it implodes on 2/27!

It’s been a while since Mr. Zeroateightfifty went for a relaxing cruise in the North Atlantic during a storm.

Too good to be true! EDIT: Not the 18z my apologies. But still looking good at 12z.

My va-vo (Portuguese Great-Grandmother) used to say a cold snowy winter killed the germs and bugs in the ground. Since it's been such a warm mostly snow-less winter, chlorine rain might get the job done instead!

Pingers coming down at time mixed with rain. Wind picking up… USDW+ 37 degrees.

I think your mistake there is “always”. Nothing with the weather is “always”, it’s chaos and more chaos, and sometimes the chaos provides more persistent results. Other changes are underway so the SE ridge persistence may break at some point soon.

Great, as long as Ortiz and Mueller are not on deck!

He took it in stride. Did his business then went right for the door to get back in the house!

Well that wasn’t enjoyable… lol…

Ugh dog is barking to go outside... guess he doesn't care it's -3/-24 out...

I'm surprised at the number of people giving up and selling (ie "not invested"). Canada continues to look cold the next 5-6 weeks. Threading the needle has moved from a sewing needle to a knitting needle. Sure, it's gonna be AN at times with the SE ridge, but, at the same time, there could easily be a couple of moderate to strong storms that develop between the cold air to our north, the ridge to the south, and the +3 to +5C SST's in the Atlantic near us. That ridge isn't going to be maxing at all times throughout Feb, and the despite the some of the maps shown recently, the ensembles show the southeast and the mid-atlantic warming the most, not us. Given our luck, it could all go to shit, but, if you want to see a little more snow this season south of the pike, there's definitely some hope. Can't call the rat just yet...

Get a sixer for the weekend...

Sorry, meant 0" of snow (as in the Euro map recently posted at 240 hrs). Maps of the GFS showing 20-30" of snow were weenied immensely last week, if I'm not mistaken. Both are probably wrong, that was more of my point...

So we jump on 10 day forecasts when they forecast 0, and dismiss the ones that had 30” of snow? LOL… let’s call it a rat when it’s done. I remain optimistic even with a SE ridge. There will be snow in Feb and March for all of New England, including S and SE areas.

Congrats on the baby. Nice to see someone else on the board interested in Fantasy Baseball as well, which is the real fantasy sport IMO. The snow will come when we're least expecting it or paying attention. That's how it works. I think Feb and March will be better than Dec and Jan, not because we're due, but because there is a pattern change going on that could work in our favor much more so than what we've been seeing the last two months...

Queue the Blizzard of 2023 on Feb 17th, or whenever your trip begins. LOL!

I’m still optimistic we get some snow between now and April 1. All the lovely maps that show the west cold show cold in Canada as well. That’s a definite pattern shift. We fight the SE ridge in mid Feb but it seems to cool down afterwards heading into March. We shall see.

Head Meteorologist Vernon Wermer with the forecasted final snowfall totals for Southern RI and SE MA for tomorrow:

We don’t need anything from Siberia, they can keep their cold. All we really need is for Canada to stop averaging +10-20 anomalies for weeks at a time. The air masses in place every time we get an event have literally been hot garbage. There’s nothing to tap into to generate snow… Siberia and Canada can be cold at the same time, it doesn’t have to be an either/or scenario.
