here where big storms often underproduce #1, 3,4,and 5 are what we think of when we think jackpot time

a) define storm b) precip != snow

I get that warmer air can hold more water content, but I don't think that necessarily translates to more 6"+ snows, because you also can lose some with bad ratios, more front end/back end rain, etc. IMO the increasing 6" number is more likely associated with storm track... fewer dry fast moving active N stream storms producing light snow, more offshore systems, for whatever reason... possibly more blocking, bigger ridges out west, warmer oceans? Maybe somebody has some real research that looks at both sides of the warmer=snowier equation (water content v accum loss) and tried to correct for track differences, not sure.

That GFS run is pure comedy. I mean, eff it. Let's take the snowstakes right down to zero. Let's long duration east flow right off the water. Get it all out. We need this catharsis.

wonderful pics A+ I also woke up but we had some light low level ground fog unfortunately. Was still very bright and hard to sleep with the moon shining in the window like that.

to an extent... certainly colder on the whole... the millennium snow got the interior, particularly the elevated interior, but Boston proper may have taken a goose egg for the month IIRC, and I think there was at least one other big rainstorm.

it's not a perfect match but there are a few similarities to our last 3rd year nina Jan. I'll accept the ing in advance.

Lets wait and see on the bold. We've had some very good skiing and skating in December. No doubt it's been a rough 7 days and we'll be drawing down the balance we banked, but we're not deeply in the red just yet as far as winter activities go.

Coming down hard, we measurable

Snowed pretty hard for 20 mins but flips back in the lull as was expected. Hopefully that surface low cranks.

tried testing out a multimedia post, but it didn't work as intended so nvm suffice to say that wxbell map is nice, if a bit bullish

JanuBURIED part deux

Try cutting out the advil and see if it helps with the sweating. Hope you feel better soon.

We remember when you'd have been reeling this thing right back in for us. Here's to a better 2023

What a blast today. Taste of spring.

An older gentleman there said it was the smoothest he's ever seen Wyola. 3-6" of black ice. I heard portions of Fitzgerald Lake in Noho is also good.

Lake Wyola just about perfection

Word is that certain local ponds might be ready to go tomorrow with smooth black ice. Be safe but take advantage if you can. Doesn't usually last long.

Absolutely. You take your chances with an active pattern up there in Jan every time. If it were balls cold and looked great for coastal SNE you get the feeling he wouldn't cancel, and that could be potentially terrible up in NNE

Almost 3" just along and N of Rt 202 through S Hadley/Granby/Btown. Maybe a little channeling S of the east/west running Holyoke range? Only 1.5" at my house, with the streamer slowly sinking south.

Heavy snow. Band is low to the ground too. https://emmy7.casa.umass.edu/umaxx/

Yeah. We covered but I dunno if it'll last. Maybe enough to spin it at least. May not be done though.

We counting the high ground of the berks as CNE? fair if so.

was a bit of a disappointment today. They blew huge whales but didn't spread em out, and actually lost open terrain from Sunday even after 3 days closed for snowmaking. With that said, we got into the woods in SNE before Christmas, and that is certainly no guarantee in any given year. So +1 there.

Berkshire East has been closed and blowing snow for 3 days after being in very good shape already on Sunday. Magic also reopening at 100%. Get it tomorrow folks.
