Again.. you said 2+ feet!!! The vast majority of the "Northeast" did not get 2+ feet... Pretty obvious on the graphic below...

The "whole Northeast" is a non-starter! The nature / structure of Northeast winter storms makes that almost impossible!!! Region-wide 2+ snowfalls are literally impossible to pull off...

Road closures across Fairfield County in CT causing delay issues with some districts...

First step to recovery is admitting you have problem... Good first step... Lol

After a burst of early afternoon snow and sleet, freezing rain has been ongoing since 2 pm in the high elevations of Burlington, CT... 1,100+ ft. driveway a sleet of ice; icicles handing from the mailbox... 31 degrees

Looks a bit breezy. lol

9.5" here in Burlington, CT... 1,140'... Some 2' drifts.

I have it up and auto refreshing on one of my monitors. By the Walt emailed me this morning to let me know banding page was back on...

Thanks for the detailed analysis...

Shows you the negative tilt / mindset of some posters... Lol... Who wants good news... It's more fun complaining...

crap... thanks Wiz... if GFS is close to right that banding signature would be glowing on that product...

Quick question... are the NAM banding products still available? My url takes me to March 2023???

coated the ground in Norfolk, CT... light dusting here...

I think you have it actually right... Like so many big qpf producers we have seen over the past several months, the potential for heavy rates is certainly enhanced given the setup; this time snow, not flooding rains! While the banding signal looks good, this might be a situation where the banding max zone is wider than we might normally expect? Still time to tinker with trends, but goal posts are narrowing...

This setup is going to be very noisy for at least another 24 hours... The variety of ENS member solutions are probably related to the differences in speed and or intensity of the 2 short waves. Folks are going to go crazy trying to figure out what is a true trend or just blip...

Basically on the same page... I think some folks a dismissing the possible -NAO impacts on 1/10 storm; given the time range I would be careful that wintery impacts won't occur further south into parts of interior SNE...

Just looking for a bit of clarification as to your thinking... I might be completely wrong (good chance), and assume you are talking about the entire NA upper level construct having a La Nina vibe. But in terms of storm tracks, isn't this system's snow / rain layout pretty typical of El Nino winters? I've always thought El Nino winters favored some big interior Mid Atlantic / SNE events with the typical coastal plain precip type issues. The Pacific sst anomaly is clearly in El Nino mode but there appears to be a disconnect with some of the more typical El Nino atmospheric features / indexes? But in terms of East Coast action this kind of fits the mode... Am I wrong about that???

Second paragraph is perfect! That's exactly what I am expecting, and something that is fairly common. Of course, it is going to produce an outcry of "I was screwed" or "another meh storm" from folks sitting just north of the east/northeast hvy snow axis. Barring any over amped short wave trends, the large scale flow should limit the northward extent of the best snows.

Another aggrieved 30+ or 40+ guy complaining about how bad life is!!! Lol. Give me a break...

https://weather.gc.ca/ensemble/naefs/index_e.html Here is the link but don 't see the black on white anomaly plot. I used to use that all the time...

Ok; now we are getting somewhere; this should be easy for you; Just state which ones fit your ranking of A/A+. I'm sure you've had so many during your life so far, they should be on the tip of your tongue... lol

Wow; lol... I need to know which winter seasons you would grade as an A; better yet which ones that you lived through would you give an A+...

How would you classify 2014 - 2015?

That's because it's used differently by different folks. If the snow drought continues, some call it persistence regardless of large scale pattern changes. Most mets, including myself, tend to look at the pattern changes, not the outcome when talking about persistence.
