(over 200% above normal) 10th snowiest February at that location (BDL) since 1949. Normal snowfall total for Bridgeport is 4.5". They have 12.8" This month now ranks 5th for snowfall since I moved to Maine 44 years ago, and it won't take much for a 3rd-place finish.

I know you've been mentioning 1969 lately so thought you'd find this interesting... Mansfield is now #2 highest snow depth for this date, second only to February 1969. I've measured 86" of snowfall at 3,000ft in the first 17 days of this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd_tech Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 So I'm out in the driveway changing wiper blades on my van. Won't take too long, nothing to it, I think. Except I got those universal blades that will fit anything, but you have to figure out all the little attachments and read the instructions and stuff. The van is pretty close to the garage. It's 37 degrees and the sun is bright. I had just figured out what I need to do to get the new blades on. Then it happened, the 6 inch depth of snow on the solar panels avalanches right on me. I was not pleased. I shrugged it off and finished changing the blades. Note to self, pull the van away from garage next time, or play dumb and have the guy at the auto parts store change them.

weatherwiz Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Have to watch for a SSW event towards the end of the month. Could help to establish some blocking depending on the details of its evolution (and if it happens). Also have to think that once the atmosphere responds to the impressive phase 8 MJO wave we should cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Perfect! Looks like the realization of my evil vision for an early spring is almost complete - Funny .. how relative "sensible climatology" is, both unto its self and compared to actual climate. Firstly, climate is in flux; hence the expression Global Warming - notice that doesn't say Global Warmth. We, here, in this rough geographical box of 100W - 70W by 40N - 60N have had a uniquely chilly-charmed go of it over the span of the last five years of yellow, orange, and red NASA yearly inferno warning products: We are verified as one of the only offset blue regions during that same time frame. It's fascinating why that has been so persistent for one digression...who knows? But for another thing altogether, we are forced as a society in that rough regional area, to think/observe outside our collective sand-box to get a truer sensible impression of what GW means. History has proven, time and time again ... that is not something Human Kind does very well. And as such, to us, here... if we were just say, more primitive and less aware of the World at large, we'd have a better excuse - we would think that even if the environment has been warmer than normal, ...all available evidence lends to a conclusion that it's not that big of a deal. But we do not have that excuse. Surprisingly, large numbers of observers are guided by what appears to be primal limitation, where their 'mind-sets' are still constructed too much by the back-yard of eastern the North America experience. I just wonder when the other shoe is going to fall, if it does, for our region. Yes it has been above normal - but that's a obscuring argument that serves to block having to face the fact that it "should have been" a hell of a lot warmer across that five years. Anyone that tries to refute that, really belongs in the same gaggle of myopic nitwits that stand around on the railroad tracks, while the iron begins to whir, arguing about the color shoes they are wearing to the engagement.. That metaphor suffices all of America and probably the Industrial world for that matter, as we toil in the "paramount importance" of functional Industrial society, like this new Trump high treason collateral Russian collusion thing. While all that distraction is delusional and all -consuming, the horn gets steadily more audible. It may very be that the physics of the atmosphere in a warmer world somehow favors a cool node over our region of the Hemisphere. The one nation, under God, with the liberty and power to [possibly] be the greatest advocate for utmost necessitated change in Environmental concern, management, and practice, is being immersed in a GW off-set sense of reality ...that Humans are challenged to think beyond. I find that fascinating - Or, perhaps we have merely been caught up in some repeating local decadal fractal of coin flip randomness - only the appearance of order, biding the proverbial ticking clock of the Darwinian Timebomb. And, when the time is up, the time is up... 110 at Logan some faithful day in July, and a following winter ...or two or three or four, that can't seem to ever descend much below Portland Maine. And all those that ridiculed anyone with the audacity to speak in alarming terms about a reality that may not feature the obsessively coveted "snow" over the years? They just disappear.
