This has been an objectively good winter so far. Need to keep it going.

Nothing says epic like 7” across 360 hours in peak winter. Going to be boring 2+ weeks

What ever makes you feel better but since you said 360

Uhoh he’s posting. Wolfie we’re just having fun. It’s been cold and very wintry. 

I’m good bro. It’s funny I agree. Love the terminator clips .

Agree. Zero complaints here. Second half about to begin…let’s finish strong.  40” on Feb 1st for season to date…that’s not a bad place to be…when your yearly average is 50”.

Now for my favorite game of “what if we used 1961-1990 normals” 

Station | Jan ‘26 temps | 1991-2020 norms | 1961-1990 norms
CON | 20.3° | -2.0° | +1.7°
PWM | 21.2° | -2.8° | +0.4°
BOS | 28.0° | -1.9° | -0.6°
ORH | 21.8° | -2.9° | -1.0°
PVD | 27.4° | -2.8° | -0.5°
BDL | 24.0° | -3.1° | -0.6°
BDR | 28.7° | -2.7° | -0.2°

Yeah that stretch I alluded to muted the monthlys. The combo with Dec has been solid overall though

You know ..philosophically, all luck is, is just not knowing why things occurred.  

If we look at a system, and assume all inputs into that system, then ... "air apparent" ( puns always on purpose to annoy - ) something unexpected occurs, we tend to call that luck - something unpredictable must have been introduced that was not a part of those inputs.    

SO, it begs the question ... if one was able to predict, thus reduce the unpredictable quotient to zero, does that remove luck?      It seems the answer to this question is rather academic - there is no luck. There is just knowing, or not knowing.  So the term luck is really just a semantic dance around the notion that we are limited in our outlooks - limited by the fact that we are not clever enough to predict all inputs into the system.   

This is why I wonder if Quantum Mechanics, which deals ultimately in probabilities of location in time and space, ... in fact, all probabilities, is just really a limitation of human perception - 

  

Well, you, nor anyone else, has reduced it to zero...so there is luck as far as we know...I think we are aways off from getting there.

Depends what happens from here on out in terms or snow...I'm still about 2' shy of average snowfall, so plenty left to be desired from my perspective if the balance of the season dissapoints in that respect.

So even less at 384 lol. Thanks for proving my point

Snowing at the rate of 3"/week....Feb 2015 and Jan 2011.

I actually see the value of the Feb 2015 analog, but my gag-reflex kicks in when people compare the snowfall.

Ya, Don and I have done well in central CT..so we’re in a good spot.  You average more than we do, so it’s a less of a good spot for you at this moment.

That output is worse there for you agreed. But its better back this way. If that happens like that shows the next 2weeks…I’ll have just about hit my yearly average snowfall.  
 

But the odds of that playing out like that are low obviously. That too will change for better or worse. So it’s all relative.

Yes. We’re only part of the way there. I’m pleased that we’re not talking about numerous blown opportunities, a blowtorch, or ratter in sight on Feb 1. God knows the last decade has had plenty of that.

But it’s 100% true that we still have a long way to go. Climo is still in the distance for many. 

Still thinking Feb is cold and near climo with snow and a possible SSW gives us a clear path to a cold and potentially snowy first 2/3 of March. No early spring this year.

The early spring idea was a common thought back in late October, and November.  But that has since looked to go by the wayside. Which is good to see. Let’s all do well this upcoming second half.

Thats a brutal airmass next weekend on the gfs. 20s in CAR while its 0F, blowing 40mph in SNE. 

[CoastalWx]

Looks like we buckle up for a cutter on the gfs and euro. 

[Torch Tiger]

you know it's bad when people are posting Kuchies with 4" of snow over 14 days and calling it good

[Damage In Tolland]

Won’t be any cutting with that block . Zero chance

And again... These models will change dramatically. As we saw with previous storm potentials... We can get a dramatic change within a 3-5 day range. We've been lucky there hasn't been a cutter in a while .. maybe we need that to give this pattern a boost.

Another snowy weekend in Mattapoisett.  A little shy of an inch so far as far as I can tell.  Strong winds blowing snow pretty good.

 

SN and 18”.  Typical south coast winter continues.

1045 mb high against a 975 mb low is a bit stronger in CAA gusts than 40 mph.. .. heh.   Just sayin'    

that's a damaging CAA event there.   Probably b.s. tho

Ridge flex as cold breaks down. Definitely possible.

12z euro AI looked decent for the winter crew.

12z Euro hits eastern Maine hard next weekend

[Ginx snewx]

We had a 2 foot plus snow  storm and now they bust my balls because I said buckle up. Shit half these mofos think we are NNE and have no clue what climo is. Trolls gonna troll I guess because they sure as hell whine like 6 year olds over frozen water. Paybacks a bitch
