You got to know when to hold ‘em

Know when to fold ‘em

Know when to walk away

Know when to run

You never measure snowfall 

When you’re lookin’ at a model

They’ll be time enough for measurin’

When the storm is done

Good luck tonight, everyone.

I can tell you don't settle for 90% or even 99%! Get into totality as it is a different world! I will be in Texas for this one. In 2017 I was on the centerline in South Carolina.

Absolutely. Totality or bust.

Well, look ....  both storms happened. Not sure what to say. The threads were not ultimately wrong.

Unfortunately, there's no way to tell someone in Rutland VT versus Rye NH vs Hartford CT ...who is going to eat cake and who is going to eat shit, with any sort of assurance.

I was planning on starting a thread for it - but if y'all really feel some voodoo like it matters who does.

In my defense, I have seen more threads started that had NO storm result comparatively - just sayn

 

Glad we had cake this week rather than gagging on the alternative to the brink of unconsciousness. 

High res probably gone wild but making me sit up a little for tomorrow’s system.

Snow growth is better despite radar. Coating outside and below 32°.

Yeah -SN here at 32. Nothing impressive.

Good luck. Let’s keep amping up the moisture.

Trending maybe…let’s do this. 

I’m wary of the Euro but as Will said the synoptic look is close. At this point it’s clear we need luck for any opportunity to produce so we just watch and hope for snow on snow.

Euro getting a little more interesting for Saturday in southern zones. 

Low looks a touch stronger and perhaps a tick north on this run. Not far from being more meaningful in southern CT.

Fantastic storm that enveloped a large part of the country-- where was it ranked on NESIS? It makes you wonder what it would be like for such an extremely cold blizzard to hit such a large area today.  It was a two day storm with a high of 11 and a low of 4 over that two day span!

I don’t see it actually ranked on the site but an older article says it would’ve been category 4. 

Interestingly, December 13-20, 2022 is ranked 4th. If you’re wondering what storm that was…I did too    

1899 is criminally underrated. It’s gotta be top 3 nationally and probably 4th or 5th all time in CT.

My top 5

1. Great Blizzard of 1888

2. Blizzard of 1978

3. Great Blizzard of 2013

4. February 1899 Blizzard 

5. October 2011 Blizzard

Even with the far SE shift, SE CT always manages a way to get screwed ~3" for coastal new london county

I was surprised to see that. Maybe far lower ratios? They’re such a snow pit it’s hard to watch. 

It feels so good to finally be in a jackpot zone.  

Nothing else to say other than…this just feels right.

Hopefully we can get a region wide crusher before this season is over.

SkiSheep! LOL. He was a character.

He’s great haha. Moved to Utah a few years ago. He keeps me from being too aggressive which usually works but this time he convinced me to move our 6-12 zone just east of Ryan.

You work for a weather vendor?

No it’s just a hobby. A group of guys—one of whom used to be SkiSheep around here and another that’s a met do forecasting on social media covering CT under the Southern Connecticut Weather banner. I’ve been doing it since 2015 and I’m the lead forecaster/writer these days. 

It feels like a full time job at times lol. 

Beautiful and efficient. High ratio stuff in the morning was clutch. I wish I knew how to do a core sample.

Final total of 13.0” on the board (9.4”/3.6”). Compaction happening fast after a peak depth a little over 13” earlier. 

This storm represented 95% of my entire snowfall last year, is only my second 12+ storm since moving back in 2018, and is tied with 12/16/20 for my largest recorded event here. For my snow hole location and given where we were last night I’m overjoyed. 

I’m also incredibly proud that we held our snowfall map and high impact forecast when the models tried to pull the rug here. 

Enjoy CT folks. We’ve seen these days don’t come easy or often. 

Getting close to the end here.

My lord so sweet

For my snow hole hell yes

Absolutely incredible. Another 2.5 in the last hour. 11.9” officially (using snowboard and 6hr clearing method) with the unofficial 12-13” of depth in my backyard. This is fukkin glorious.
