February pattern discussion

BOS at 78 now. It would appear the record of 107.6 is within reach given how early it is and the stability of the pattern.

 

 

BOS probably needs to have 90"+ by the end of the month to have a realistic shot. Counting on 20"+ in March is tough...though they did do it in 2013 for the first time since 1993. (1996 and 1997 did it if you count April too)

 

Her'es actually the top 5 Boston snowfall years...and what their totals were at the end of February...and what they got after that:

 

 

Winter........Snow on 2/28...final snowfall...snow after Mar 1

 

1995-1996......83.5..............107.6"...........24.1"

1993-1994......81.5"...............96.3"...........14.8"

1947-1948......77.4"...............89.2"...........11.8"

2004-2005......72.1"...............86.6"...........14.5"

1977-1978......69.0"...............85.1"...........16.1"

 

 

That list suggests that we'll want to be in the 95" range for BOS to have a good shot at breaking the record...though you can obviously see how in the record year itself, there was 2 feet of snow after March 1st.

 

 

Of course, we could always go 1993 on everyone when BOS put up 41.1" after March 1st. :lol:

Jerry, Ray, Will and All:  Do you want more? If so, any limit?

Snowmaggedon tired me out, 35" was historic for me. I was glad when it wasnt' snowing but just for a few weeks. Congrats on your year, not so good so far here, 10".

you drove Jerry and I to lunch in Baltimore and ran a red light, lucky traffic was semi light and you swerved. I was in the suicide seat in your big arse car.

I do remember winning a bet with Huff where I told him I could pull into a parking space and stop within 1" of the car in front of me bumper without first touching it. I did it.

KORH is almost more impressive with the snowfall. They have received a ridiculous amount of snow recently, and so far this season. Should look at those numbers.

I do not recall the near fatal event. Please elaborate.

I think I was driving behind Howard thinking wtf is going on here?

Howard, as crazy as the depth are within an hour of snows end we want more. For me it's a burden because I walk everywhere but driving is worse in some ways. But the incredible snow pack that is only growing every week is spectacular to see in a big urban center like Boston. Boston is used to more snow vs DC but the city is not used to this.....and it's gotten insane. But I'm of the buckle your seat belt ilk and understand I won't see this again so sit back and enjoy the ride.

We obviously have the Sunday event to look forward to, but I think NE could def cash in the overrunning event next Tuesday. Then it looks like the pattern just won't quit as the PNA gets reinforced. Will it continue!?

Yes lol

But it does look sloppier, and not just these pure arctic beasts

Top 5 for ORH:

 

 

Winter........Snow on 2/28...final snowfall...snow after Mar 1

1995-1996......89.1..............132.9"...........43.8"

1992-1993......73.2".............120.1"...........46.9"

2002-2003....103.9".............117.3"...........13.4"

2004-2005......89.7".............114.3"...........24.6"

2012-2013......78.0".............108.9"...........30.9"

 

 

Current ORH snowfall: 92.1"

 

 

We're definitely within striking distance is probably an understatement to say the least. In fact, I think ORH has the most snow on record through 2/10 looking through things really quickly.

I am confused or missing something. It seems as if in the past four weeks we have gone from pessimism due to futility to pessimism due to hitting the winter jackpot. People claim that winter is going to end in the next seven days or that 2/18 is the "final installment". I see literally no major pattern changes and continued storminess on the ensembles. Okay great yeah climo tells you it has to end soon. Climo would have also told you we would have had a warm up and it would have snowed forty less inches in the past few weeks but that hasn't happened has it?

Gosh this pattern is something else! We are getting all sorts of types of storms. That is what strikes me.... Big coastals, a retrograder, a SWFE, pure overrunning, little clipper refreshes. We are only missing a true Miller A classic east coast runner. Maybe we cap the season with a full on Miller A.

counting on a triple phaser
