I hear ya... I have so much wind that it is a rare storm that doesn't strip a quarter of my property clean... Meanwhile big drifts elsewhere...out road drifts over enough that they leave a payloader parked up here.

I think the wind is being under modeled, especially in the higher elevations. I'm expecting considerably blowing and drifting; focused on the higher elevations.

I would not sweat over the CMC/RGEM profiles. I've never modified other models guidance based on what the CMC is showing...

1000% agree... I mentioned yesterday how negativity seems to overwhelm even when a good old fashioned storm develops!

This where happiness goes to die... We have been praying for several years for an active deep winter pattern! Now we get one and lots of folks look for any reason to complain... Quite remarkable actually...

Remember it well! Obviously different modeling capabilities back then, but there was high confidence that suppression would keep it south with an almost due east deflection... Hours away from huge SNE hit; forecasts were confident of a miss except on the coastal plain.

Great job on the roads... lol

I had bet on best shot at 4" in northern Litchfield county with my area nudging 3"... Definitely over performed...

Total for the day right now is 5.0; elevation ~1,200'

An additional 3 here in the last 2 hours... puking snow

Your area looked like the best shot for 4" in CT... sitting at 3" in Burlington with moderate snow...

They are... solid in Burlington with 3 on the ground

There's nothing wrong with fantasizing while watching weather porn! At least that's what my therapist says.

There certainly was! It was fine to discuss the potential as long it was it was kept in the perspective of a long range modeling prediction, and not one that was a lock to happen. And yes, 40's, 50's and even a 60 degree highs were chatted about by many folks. Why deny it... It was discussed and now reality appears to be setting that the high end warming was way overdone... Just another reason to take long lead modeling outcomes with many grains of salt. Fun to chat about but taking it verbatim will often get you burned.
