It’s just too warm. You are correct that the pattern changed, but it wasn’t until like a week ago. 

the pattern didn't fail because it was too warm. it's way more than cold enough

it's because of crappy little nuances that are impossible to forecast more than 10 days out, like the positioning of the TPV, the exact height of the western ridge, and the interplay between shortwaves

It's been decent for a chunk of the area anyways. I've definitely had worse, but came up short so far. 

ORH has over 20" for the month to date....and obviously some points over the interior toward Ray and up into CNE have over 20" on the month as well. Coastline and SE MA and back to the south coast has def been screwed though.

Today is a perfect example of missing on a very favorable longwave look. You have a ridge out west, you have a decaying NAO block over Hudson Bay, you have very cold air in place and low heights out to the 50/50 region....but we whiffed because the 50/50 low didn't separate enough from the PV lobe dropping into the midwest. If it had, you'd be talking a major snowstorm and the rhetoric in here would be totally different.

a favorable pattern does not guarantee favorable results. it just increases the odds. how many times does this need to be said? it's so disingenuous to imply that those that forecasted a favorable pattern were wrong. that's BS

I was not wrong when I, and many others, said that the pattern would be favorable. it was, and we got fucked. that's all there is to say, and it's frustrating

Once again, I’ll consider it a favorable pattern when we get 3+ weeks of sustained BN temps. A one week window of opportunity in a sea of shit doesn’t count.

The constant moving of the goalposts and downplaying the warmth is annoying. All you do is post how the pattern is going to be favorable, and you have been wrong every time. It’s been happening for 2 years now.

You seriously need to move away from the water... coastal plain, whatever lol

that's not how that works. read Will's post above since you seem to not want to hear it from me

exactly. it's really frustrating, but everything was in place for a big one and the minute details just didn't line up. the overall pattern was very good, but you still need everything to come together

Yep sucks. Kills me lol, but out of my hands. Just over 7" here this month.

I agree with this, todays threat was legitimately a favorable look and we just got unlucky. The bigger issue though is the fact that we have been AN temps for 5 weeks and BN for one week. It’s without a doubt been better for you guys than me, but how much of that snow you got is on the ground right now?

George, everyone's frustrated. We're all on this forum for the same reasons, well the majority of us lol. Having sustained cold and sustained snow......that's not the reality of our winters. More often than not, the winters are not a sustained cold snowy winter. Snow and cold and then there's going to be periods of milder temperatures with rain. Does it suck that this year is somewhat following last year, yes. But it is better than last year already.

The issue I have with your responses is that you're very upset that we're not getting the snowy pattern and instead of being constructive with others, you're being kind of snappy. Take a chill pill. I'm assuming you're younger than most of us just by your posts. Trust me, there'll be a good winter and it'll take care of all of your ill feelings and all will be forgotten. Also, we're not done with this winter. We do have all of February and even March. The fact that we had one of our biggest blizzards in the history of any storms in March just shows you that it's not over. And as far as what the models are showing now, you know You know better than that. Than to just take what they're saying today and run with it. They're going to flip flop. They're probably not going to be the one extreme or the other extreme they're going to be in the middle. Give it time young man. And treat others with respect when you talk to them. If they're giving you respectful answers, you should be giving them some respect back. But that comes with growing up. I'm sure you'll get there.

Now carry on

I have measured 13" of snow in Brattleboro since moving up here, considering the fact there have only been 7 recorded winter events between Nov.1-Dec.31 (amounts locked behind a $205 paywall, eff that), I got to imagine that most of what we have recorded in this area is the reports I been sending to NWS Albany since the 6th storm... 53af67e98cf593916a845ef73bb08439.jpg

Ok…. You know what? I think we are just focused on different things. It’s not just the lack of snow, it’s the AN temps that are an issue for me. Ok, let’s say things broke right and I got a blizzard today. My weather app has me back into the 40s and 50s next week. That is supported by the cross guidance agreement of a warm up next week. The snow would have just melted away. The constant warmth makes so even when we get there small favorable windows, even if it works out we can’t actually maintain a snowpack. That’s completely fair, if you care about snow more than temps I can’t really argue with that.

What George appears to be demonstrating in his responses is quite common among the plebeian perspectives over ...pretty much anything in reality.

They stop their analysis at whatever is downloaded through their god -given USB ports: sight, sound, hearing, touch or taste. 

It may be an aptitude thing?  It may be an emotional thing clouding judgement...?  But either way, both are commonly found in the commoner ilk of intellectual limitations: they don't do as well with nuanced thinking, particularly if it has to process observed information that they don't even really understand the origin of in the first place.  

So, ...in essence, you're engaged in an non-influence-able discussion with someone incapable of 'getting it'.

1) We are warming so deal with it. Even if our warming is totally accelerated but short term decadal cycles.

2) you aren't in a great pack area. Go to Dave's place if you want that.

This ^

If it's really that important to you George, move.  Move up to NNE, northern VT, Buffalo.....   I suspect you'll be a much happier person in the end.

I don’t disagree with any of this.

Having a different way of grading how good a pattern is makes me dumb? All this talk about the pattern is just dancing around what the real problem is, which is CC. It’s not just bad luck, you even said it yourself. You are the guy who’s always talking about the speed of the flow being a limiting factor, and the role CC plays in it. So patterns that worked in the past no longer work. I’m probably oversimplifying things, but that’s what I got out of your posts. If it makes me stupid to question whether or not we had a favorable pattern when the temp anomalies for the winter are roughly +4 so far makes me stupid, then yeah I guess I’m dumb as shit. I prefer to look at the big picture rather than the smaller details.

I think he's just saying you're expecting too much for where you live.
