Major pool disaster. Due to my knee replacement I was unable to clear snow from my pool. Today the shit hit the fan. The 2 to 3 feet of extremely wet snow forced the pool liner thru the skimmer wall. I counted my shovels over 120 each one very heavy about 20 lbs. Over a ton. Extremely exhausted and sitting here wrapped in ice. Can't win ready for warmth.

Dude, I would have done that for you if we were a bit closer. Sorry, Steve.

It's been a solid winter but I'm still about 16" - 18" off average so Greenfield needs a few snow events in the next month or so.

It’s been a good winter in a lot of respects.  Would love a good coastal though…with winds etc.  that’s really the only thing that’s been missing

Agreed. Hopefully we can pick one up over the next 4-5 weeks.

Even if I don't hit 60" a few decent advisory events would be nice.  Just don't want to go out with a whimper.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. Sucks to have things happen because of physical limitations. I’ve been dealing with some newly diagnosed heart problems (AFib), it sucks not to be able to do the things you want/need to do. But hey, it can always be worse.

Jeez keep that on ice Steve. Totally forgot about your knee replacement.

12z had 2
18z much better. Enjoy

That must drop the whole PV nipple north of ME into the southern wave with absolute surgical aplomb.

I'm at 47.6 (seasonal 56.5), so still down -8.9". However considering I initially called for 80% seasonal in my preseason forecast (45.2), I'm actually up on my expectation.

I went 60-70" here and I'm at 49.5" currently.

It drops a stripe of 3-4" up the entire CTRV (me and Hippy wouldn't complain) and drops over 4" precip on you

First day above 40 since the mild up in early January.  Still above freezing at 10:45pm.  Currently 34 IMBY.  The melting continues.

Tell it to join the club.

What a waste

[Snowcrazed71]

Did the GFS come out already?

[Diggiebot]

Theme of the winter now you see it now you don’t. It’s all IVT and OE other than the one big storm

Queue the it’s coming posts after the next run showing a scrape

It was pretty clear this was never coming. The setup was a thread the needle act given the rossby wave configuration, widespread synoptic support was never there for such a coup. Models provided a little excitement but the ensembles stood pretty firm. Next!

Potential blocky gradient look at the end of next week. Playing with fire a bit but I'll take it for now

Much needed too! I’m at about my wits end with trying to slowly break up some of the ice on the roof. It was cool as hell though seeing a huge flock of robins drinking from a few tiny melted drops the other day on the shingles. They must be so desperate right now for any unfrozen sources they can get their claws on!

Now is akin to the "summer's back is broken" time we have every August.

The steady march to spring picks up speed.

6z ICON bumped north but still south.. Icon EPS has some hits FWIW ... seems like this storm is all or nothing

[ineedsnow]

Actually a big shift on the ICON EPS

It’s over and we slowly melt. Winter is winding down.

Winter looks done

[UnitedWx]

I don't think we're "done" however, no epicosy for February for sure.  Will March have a stretch that that dash hopes of an early spring for Torchy the Tiger... stay tuned
