Tracking either the biggest storm to affect at a regional scale since perhaps 2013 ... or, a complete whiff. Pick-em'

Is it reasonable to say what we're seeing in the evolution could be chalked up to largely a timing issue?  I'm assuming there are other mechanics at play impacting that timing but for the storm to follow a desired path to provide snow in New England, it needs to get captured as you mentioned it sent on up to our doorstep.  

That pretty much it in a nutshell, Of course we have to contend with the block as well but yes, It comes down to timing on getting a Full, Partial or no Phase.

At what point do we entertain the real possibility of futility?  I mean the pattern is good but the we're in a serious slump.  Sometimes slumps are season long.

I mean I guess you could consider it at any time.  But on January 7th…. I don’t think that’s a reasonable idea. If it was Feb 27 th I’d be right with you. But that’s just me. 
 

You did well on 12/20, when that was waffling back and forth to the very last second.  So I mean this is 4.5 days out still. There will be more changes to come on this.

Even though it was like 9F warmer....I had more snow last year to this point. Sitting here cold as f*ck and just over and 1.4" or so to show for it.

Damn, thought you had a bit more. I'm at 1.7". like the saddest d**k measuring contest ever

Ok. I would still say if we're  skunked in late February and the weeklies show a Torch incoming then futility would be real possibility. 

 

I hope to God that's not a real thing since this place would be less fun than a wake.

Just keep beaming that good juju - there is still a chance!

Ill definitely check out tonights runs to see if we can scrap together a 2-4" er but seems like the big dog is gone. I rained in those big dog solutions yesterday so whatever

For you a scraper may be perfect…may just work out for you.

Being it’s Tuesday and this system is Saturday pm…there sure is.

Our CON observer just called for the 18z report and it had been so long since she needed to report snow she forgot if it was 1 pm or 2 pm.

I don't see Boston doing it, but I have a better shot.

Definitely the epicenter over the past couple of years there. Sitting at 2.5" here this year, which is around 10% of normal to date, brutal.

Unless you can pile something up by 1/20, futility is quite doable for YBY.  Harder at BOS given a dinkleshit system passing well SE could give a few inches sometimes.

[ROOSTA]

I'm at 0.00. 
Think I'm going to stay there. In fact over the past 10yrs it's (guess) zero point zero, zero.
I'm going to move to Montana. Start over, maybe raise some dental floss. Seriously probably North Carolina.
Major financial distress (truth)

DELETE this triviality.

Definitely on futility watch if I make it out of January with 2".

What a terrible read scrolling thru here this afternoon . Absolutely demoralizing

Still garbage on the EPS.

I always base it off of noon. 5hrs diff for ST and 4hrs for DST. So 12 is 17z. Of course that doesn’t help if you don’t have the 5/4 memorized.

Did she really have to call in for a trace with a 9sm flake at the ASOS?

Still have hope of a 1-3 “ or 2-4” type deal. Nothing wrong with that
