Is we back? February discussion thread

[SouthCoastMA]

We've recently seen the EPS be on in island in the 96-120 hr range, and it didn't end up well.

12z GEPS are also kind amped, which I hadn't looked at. Still much doubt on this one until more OPs get on the board, and the AIs.

Longitude obv plays a role too. New England is unique in that it sticks out into the Atlantic. So eastern areas have easier access to a large moisture source to their south and east. But latitude def matters too. But I’d agree in the monsters that longitude might be more important. 

In the 14-15 season, and in the January ‘22 storm it was all longitudinal.  Latitude can and does matter in marginal situations for sure, but for those set ups as you agreed, it was longitude. 
 

I mean in the past 4-5 sucky years we’ve done better here with several systems that sucked out east…so it has its ups and downs as does anywhere.

You guys have the December 00s and the March 17s to boost you. Those just kill this area.

Dont forget your favorite storm, Feb 2021.

However, neither of those two you listed were historic (18"+) for S/SW CT, like you guys get consistently with Jan 22, Jan 15, Feb 15 etc with those crazy 18-30+ numbers. 

Both those storms may have sucked in E MA but they werent historic level storms either around here.

Best one was the blizzard of 96 (27) followed by NEMO (22) and then February 2006 (20.5).

The only 3 20 plus snowstorms in my life.

Yes, We’ve had our good breaks compared to SEMA on some of these 12 to 16 inches which of course is no complaint but I would much rather be in their shoes where those memorable snows that, we’d tell our grandchildren about, happen more frequently.

January 2011 was nuts here in central CT…those didn’t bury you. Nemo(Feb ‘13) wasn’t more than that there?(33” here)   Dam…no wonder you’re always putting the sad face emoji.
