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

What a morning.  It’s still snowing nicely too.

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

So West Hartford had 15 inches but Bradley airport notes 1 inch-what a cutoff!

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.

Wasn’t there a big one for W MA in 2002?  I was not out here then but that year popped  in my head for some reason.  
 

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

It’s a good start for the SoP crowd but a bad one pike north.

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

That one was a fine start to snow season.

17” in Greenfield.  Sort of my last “big dog” storm.

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.

4th biggie kind of missed you too on 2/15

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

Mostly pingers up here.  Occasional catspaws.

I was out on the ice at several places the last few days, but it wasn't skatable.  Couldn't find a pond that was still open when it snowed.  Maybe the Oxbow might have been good.

the op GFS idea of a ULL nuking in the GOA day 8/9 seems a lot more typical nino than rotting over central AK or something per the EPS and euro op.  Granted, this hasn't been the most typical nino so far.

CEF hit 1 for the low.  Coldest of the season.
