Lightning accompanying downpour in Tewksbury

Man I miss the days of tracking a nice widespread event. Not even a HECS, just an easy warning event. It’s been so long.

Maybe that’s what he meant by wild times?

Do you think CC is playing a roll there

Almost happened last winter until the models pulled the rug 3 days out.

I’m so glad I got old enough to not give a damn if all the snow melts or not or even if it doesn’t snow.  Seems like some are bleeding out….

I'll double up on this sentiment, ... knowing that posting the way I do has eroded popularity to the point where I'm on people's probation and/or ignore list at this point. Ha!  

I'm "slightly" younger than you but I've been there now for ... shit, 10 years probably.  Seeing 100" in 10 minutes in 2015 was like dad making you smoke a whole carton of cigarettes - it might actually work. LOL.  But, I think the real reason for escaping the d-drip addiction is the repeating bad years since.   Just unrelenting, and being that way regardless of all intents and purposes between the Joe D'aleo's, the NCEPs  ... Bastardi 'n' cokes, Rays of sun reflecting of snow pack, or Death sentence to snowstorms just get Margrave to post anything about it.  No matter who or what is predicted, ...god, just find something, anything better than doing these winters.  I realize there's been a-b-c month here and there but using that clouds the reality of abuse. It'd be like Tina Turner's relationship with Ike.    

I still enjoy anticipating interesting Meteorology - but that's the entire spectrum of weather -related subject matter. I'm in the minority in the summer in here. I get it.  But when I say I think it would be spectacular to see the complete shock-and-awe ( which is possible as CC continues gaining momentum, just a matter of time - ) retraction of the polar boundary and sustaining green lawn warmth in winter months, that's just the amazement of nature talking.   There's 0 give a shitness for snow anymore over here.   When and if there is an interesting weather event that is freezing or frozen in nature, that's just academic to me.

Not a frigid look but the coldest anomalies are in the right place and not all bottled up on the other side of the globe and no shortage of sw’s traversing the continent. I don’t want to see big blocking combined with a -epo that shunts systems south. Later in the period you see the scandi block retrograde which would support more region wide systems. Really good run and the teleconnections support it. 

Yeah, I don't mind some blocking but we get screwed on strong ones here.

The blocking that has been consistently depicted isn't really the type that backs warmth down into the Maritime and Maine if it helps.   

This is clearly favoring the eastern limb of the NAO domain. In that regime, if anything, you're likely to be in a mean WNW to at times N flow around the Maritime train-wreck low that is sourced by intermediate polar air over midriff Canadian Shield..

I think that works back this way too

Long range finally looks more serviceable after the NY. Before that it’s more of the thread the needle and timing of the shortwave nonsense. It doesn’t mean nothing will happen, but it ain’t that pretty. Speaking of the EPS.

Indeed.

Wild storm here. Definitely overperformed; the wind was crazy, and we had power outages all over the area. Just got my internet back an hour ago. Pack down to 5" in my yard, but you drive a mile down the road and it's been wiped out completely. Back to snow now at 34F
