Maybe for you, but it cut back Monday in E MA.  Still had the same output through 12z Monday as did the 18z run.

Peak suite was 12z....been trimming a bit since...CT avoided at 18z, but 00z cut a hair everywhere.

Fun times.

Cape and far se MA has held serve and even ticked up a bit...everyone else, less.

I don’t think he has enough memory of that to count it.  Maybe I’m wrong.  Also, not sure what the Weymouth total was but I was 22”.  I think he beats that.

I know my solid weather memories go back to around age 11. For example I remember PDII far better than March 2001.

I've also seen many younger guys say they can't remember big weather events very well before 10-12.

My first vague memory is March 1984 event...vivid is Dec 11, 1992.

It’s a pretty minimal difference here-like maybe 0.1 less.  Noise

Nice…below zero. Just got home from Maine at 7:30. We left at 11:30 am and when we drove out of the camp driveway, it was still 7 below zero. Got home and it’s not a whole lot warmer.

My first vague weather memory was Hot Saturday.   
next was May 1977.  Then the ‘78 blizzard of course.     I think I somewhat remember Hurricane Belle (1976)

Incredible

Is 0ZNAM has even higher QPF

That’s 6 consecutive model cycles in a row with the QPF growing on every run I’ve seen

Never seen that

Not sure what it means but… Probably a lot of fuckin snow I’m guessin

1.7 for Logan

At 17 to 1 ratio that’s about 26 inches of snow. Probably approaching hypostatic balance before it can that tall; being that fluffy or snow collapses in on itself at a lower weight

… and I’m not sure why this font’s so big

Yep, that tracks. I have faint memories of seeing snow in NYC in like 1994 (which of course was a big year), but the first storm I really remember as a distinct event was January 1996, but it's still a very faint memory.

Vivid for me is anything from 2002 onwards.

I think Jan '22 will retain that belt.

I only have like 2 memory from that .One was walking around in the snow and jumping into a fluffy snowbank. And the other was and tunneling in a massive drift. Trying to build a snowfort

March 3rd 1960 in my Dad's arms looking out of our new house at a snowstorm.

It’s been 800 for many runs now, while 700 and 850 remain below freezing by several degrees.

I always take the under in these set-ups in extreme Southern New England. We're gonna have newfound respect for the NAM tomorrow night when it's plain rain in the fringes of our forecast area. I'm thinking 9 in Bristol and 5 to 6 here in Newport. These accumulation maps are grossly overdone for places like Newport, the outer cape and the islands. Doesn't have much bearing on 90% of the folks in this subforum but if people take the time to produce a snowfall map they should put a little thought into making it as accurate as possible. 

[weathafella]

I actually have the vaguest memory of my dad waking me up to see the heavy snow when I was under age 3.  But my actual vivid memories start with the incredible month of March 1956.

Pats in playoffs + impending major snowstorm…

I'll echo Jerry's and other's sentiments... there's a palpable "night before" electricity we haven't felt for years. And having confidence only accelerate into the event is pretty amazing.

Did grocery shopping tonight... the empty store shelves are honestly kind of silly, but maybe people are anticipating supply chain disruptions down south?

In any case, loading groceries to the car and feeling the unabashed piercing cold on the eve of a huge snowstorm... New England winter is back. Our hobby, with all its rewards, is back.

I know Sunday afternoon I'll be bouncing back and forth like a kid who never outgrew the thrill, relishing in the 2 hobbies.

For those of us who have been yearning for something good in either realm for the past 4 years... finally, it's here.

Unless you’re in the 5% of winter where you have to be 3000 miles away AFTER WAITING 6 YEARS to see 15” of snow.  Ya.  So.

First weather memory: losing power in Hurricane Floyd (started to obsession with weather). First winter memory (still got PTSD anytime heavy ZR is mentioned): 2005 Ice Storm

15 to 20 region wide. Not the first time for Bristol. I grew up in SRI. I know your pain but not this time
