That was objectively a nice move. Need another one.

Another shift like that and it’s a warning event for Eastern Ma

Oh boy!

[WinterWolf]

Eerily similar to late January 2015 when the predecessor event dropped 1-3 inches of wet glop that Friday night into Saturday morning, and then the big dog came back west on the 0z Euro that night/early morning.   
 

Of course nothing is ever identical, and not saying 2015 is walking in, but has a similar feeling, and similar look.  With an extended look that looks promising as well.  
 

Just some observations that are similar to close to the same timeframe from 11 years ago.  If anything perhaps just a week earlier this go around, compared to the start of 2015.

Just looking at the euro quickly while I was driving looks like it ticked west some.

I got 4-5 inches from the predecessor.  2 inches of glop but 2-3 more on the backside cementing the nascent pack.  It was hard to imagine my grill completely submerged a few weeks later such that I had to wait until early spring to find it.

Ya you guys did a little better in that one(as you did throughout that whole crazy run lol), but here it was 3+ inches of glop as temps were borderline.

Let’s not get to overly confident…has work to do. But it has the time to do it.  Still Not sure it makes it though.

1-3?? Try widespread 4-8+ warning snow. You are misremembering a bit here. It was wet glop,  but a legit storm. I enjoyed this more than that fake blizzard actually. It was a legit costal, check out the sfc animation.

I went to see a Garth Brooks concert that Saturday night and as we got into Boston, the backlash started and temps dropped like 10 degrees. Everything went from sloppy mess to frozen with 3” of powder on top. Was a really wintry scene in town that night. Of course, I was weenieing out the entire time during the concert checking the NAM, then the RGEM, etc as the 00z runs came in and that’s when they turned it into a monster HECS. The 12z runs had already gone into a moderate event.

We only got close to 4” here…we(you and I)were actually in touch that late evening. But it was upper3’s to 4” here in Southington. Not remembering wrong for my house. You did better than I did in that.

OK fair enough but calling it a 1-3 event when the whole state got 4-8 save New london middlsex Co is objectively wrong. The literal only report under 3 was Stonington.  Picked up about 6 here. It was pure paste and a very solid base for the long duration snow pack

I had to go to an event that Saturday night and there was one guy who reads but doesn’t post on the board.  I remember going up to him as the 0Z guidance was rolling in saying “we’re getting buried!” barely containing myself…lol.

I see very very few 8’s on that map in CT.  More 6” amounts not so much 8”.   Again, wasn’t trying to downgrade anything pal, but it wasn’t that great here at my place…barely approached 4”.  I was actually gonna say 2-4”, but being I barely made it to 4”, I went a little lower.   Point is it was the appetizer for the most part.   
 

And yes, that blizzard was a dud for us, as was the whole big blitz was muted for us WOR.  Still very good, but nothing historic out our way here.  
 

Anyway, let’s hope we are about to enter into something decent at the very least.

Can you maybe fight him or arm wrestle it out?

Lol…let’s hope the action comes from the weather and not me and the 4Seasons. It’s all good. My only point, was that this whole thing seems similar to late January of 2015.

I have heard a few people make that comparison...even pattern wise.

Well,  it’s not too hard to see if you remember that time frame…we had a lot of people pretty dam upset about the lack of winter at that time too. Lots of similarities on multiple fronts imo.

And, hence that is why we have a range...4 up to..8. An average of 6 actually makes perfect sense. 

So we went from 1-3 to 3-4 to barely made it to 4...to 4.6"? pretty sure that 4.6" report in Southington is you, but i could be wrong. There is another cocorahs report of 6.6 but i left it out to include yours (or someone else on here)

Anyways its all good, we don't need to drone on about a past event that has nothing to do with this one. I was just a little shocked to see you say 1-3 when ive been over that event 3-4 times and probably have 3-4 iterations of the CT map alone. 

I always appreciate you sending me your reports for Southington, all good wolfie. Lets kick this thing west, i know its coming.

Rags to riches that winter. That Jan 24th event is the one that kicked everything off. Before that it was virtually a rat. Except for the interior lucky few from the Nov 26th, 2014 storm.

At least this season were off to a good start, mostly speaking for us.
