What a frickin day today... near perfect spring skiing, albeit not spring.

A smorgasboard for the chickens

I was on the runway at Chicago Midway and snow came in pretty hard. We sat there for 45 mins or so and it looked like 1-2 accumulated on grass in that time

it's hard to fathom the misery that a pre-AGW climate would cause in here

This morning's half inch pushed us past Feb 2020 to 2.5" for the month. Still have a chance to add to it next weekend, but no guarantee, and curtains for the month thereafter. Not sure if we've ever had a snowless February here, but I kind of doubt it. Also had a 0" for December. Willing to bet we've had a completely snowless December before but not in a while. 2018 I recorded a grand total of a quarter inch.

Berks and S Greens are probably running greater deficits than just about anybody. That solution would help. edit- or not if we're looking at QPE I guess

jelly The winds were roaring at the Beast, straight up the mountain. One lift was running but with frequent stops as the seats of the chairs were getting blown upright as the chair descended. Most of the 2-3" that fell was blown to hell, but there were a few nice pockets where it collected in protected spots and was subsequently pretty deep... always an interesting transition from wind buffered hardpack to that stuff. Great thing about eastern skiing is it's always different... day to day, and even on the same day, same mountain, same trail.

I've seen much better

That cannot be right...

1.5" was the final here

Not a single flake on the ground in Amherst/Noho. Even driving from Btown was a bit of a shock. 15" in WeHa is sick

Back edge not far away, but we've had a reasonably snowy couple hours. Grass almost not poking through. Congrats to the CT valley peeps south of the border.

BOX weirdly left W Hampshire and W Franklin Co out of the watches.

01/02 sucked. Christmas 02 was good, but even better out in ENY.

tough call for the downer crew whether this will piss rain or be a clean whiff

Keep it south til the Nam gets into range

Verbatim isn't important right now.. let's just avoid consensus rain

25" settled in BTown. Top 3 storm IMBY in the last 20 years so love any reference to it. That said it was really a 2 parter, with a substantial time gap between the WAA hit and then a squeeze underneath with training echoes that just hammered overnight.

enjoy the thunderstorms/heavy rain later

bump shortwaves all get washed out in l/r ens means... no worries about cold and dry yet...

5" for 2/15. But checking my records there were just a ton of 2-5" events that somehow got us to 92.5" for the winter with a huge pack lasting into March. Edit- calling the 2/9 storm quite meh probably isn't fair. Meh compared to 30" totals in spots perhaps, but not bad in a vacuum.

Of the big 3 storms in 2015, the Superbowl storm was the only good one here. The Jan storm was like 8" IMBY but falling off quickly to the west and tainted by the bust factor. And follow up Feb storm (#3) was quite meh.

2.5"

About an inch here
