Don’t think anyone would have forecast Seattle to have more snowfall than Boston by February 4th.

At 12:00 PM PST, Seatac [King Co, WA] OFFICIAL NWS OBS reports SNOW of 2.50 INCH. MEASURED BY THE SEATAC OBSERVER. TOTAL 1 INCH THROUGH MIDNIGHT AND 1.5 INCHES SINCE MIDNIGHT FOR A STORM TOTAL OF 2.5 INCH

Keeping track of winter to date and what we need to get to Normal by winter's end.   Hopefully the last column goes positive quickly.   However, projecting to day 40, we could be at +4.6, -3.7---worst case.

Day #     Degs. +/-     Winter td .     ToNormal

32.             +097             +3.0                 -1.7

33.            +102              +3.1                 -1.8

34.           +108              +3.2                 -1.9

35.           +116              +3.3                 -2.1

36.          +127               +3.5                 -2.4

37.          +134               +3.6                -2.5            CFS is 16AN   14BN on the next 30 days.

38.          +131              +3.4                 -2.5           CFS is  20AN   10BN on the next 30 days.

39.          +138              +3.5                 -2.7

40.          +146              +3.7                -2.9

41.         +145              +3.5                 -3.0             CFS is 20BN   10AN on the next 30 days.   Nice improvement.

42          +139             +3.3                  -2.9

Estimating a +2.8 for the first half of the winter ie. by Day 46.

43.         +135            +3.1                 -2 8

44.         +132            +3.0                 -2.9

48.         +126            +2.6                 -3.0 

49.         +128           +2.6                  -3.1

50.         +131          +2.6                  -3.3        CFS is 20BN  10AN on the next 30 days.    Snow to date is 7.1", probably should be 11.5" by Jan. 19th.

51.         +127          +2.5                  -3.3

52.        +104           +2.0.                -2.7

60.       +126          +2.1                   -4.2

61.       +114         +1.9                    -3.9     

Feb. has its work cut out for it (a little easier after today is assimilated here) to get us to Normal T/Snow.      We are at 7.5" snow as Jan. ends----already 7.5" BN and now add 9" for Feb. itself and we need to see 16"/17" during Feb.

62.       +090          +1.5                  -3.2

63.       +073          +1.2                  -2.7

64.       +065         +1.0                   -2.5

65.       +075         +1.2.                  -3.0

66.       +092.        +1.4.                  -3.8

67.       +109         +1.6                   -4.7

68.       +116         +1.7                   -5.3

69.       +128         +1.9                   -6.1

70.       +138         +2.0                   -6.9

Payback for the 14-15 winter lol

Not only BOS.  That's one of my favorite winter's.  2 foot snow pack the second week of March with layers from about a dozen storms going back to January.  Two separate events with sub-zero.  Long Island Sound mostly frozen over.  Sorry for the guys in urban NJ that didn't like it, but 2014-15 was a great winter here.

I just wanted to jump into this thread to say: this winter sucks, so hard. So very, very hard. I would take the wall-to-wall warmth of 2011-2012 over this. Even with the cold snaps, it ranks up there with the banal dullness of 1991-1992. The sidewalks are disgusting with grime and salt from last week's Squallpocalpyse and Polar Vortex Death Freeze. We need an Old Testament-style flooding rain to cleanse the city like the filthy hellhole it is.

Can we just hurry up and get to the inevitable cool, damp spring?

Carry on.
