The way this winter has run, it wouldn't surprise me if any "torch" is not long lasting, or quite muted

Surprisingly healthy looking radar for this little event. I was expecting flurries, but it's dumping pretty good.

Yeah man, some good rates actually

Not only have we made Winter Great Again, do we have a new king in the GFS? Time will tell if it owns the EURO again with this, it's been awfully consistent on a good hit Monday.

The GFS has done a good job at having the best idea from the medium range into the short range before making a little jump toward other guidance near go time.

I thought the GFS was just about flawless throughout the modeling evolution of the blizzard, despite having the rug pulled out on me last moment.....it needs to be judged within the context of what it was designed to do and it was exceptional in that regard.

Put the vaunted EURO to shame.

I've still been porked, but at least I have finally had normal to above average snowfall for the first time since 2018...however, once again, I'm one of the lower spots around relative to average.

64"...good season, but could easily be in the 80s right now.

agree, just over 71 here but a lot left on the table of what could have been... imagine if those two that went ots had hit, it'd be historic here.

Sure. I think both of our posts are true. 

But it played major catch up the other day too. It was just consistently on the most northern side of guidance.

Yes, both true, absolutely....trust me, I know all too well after seeing 30" turn into 10".

Solid...just passing seasonal average with hopefully a decent amount to go.

It blows my mind you only ended with 10, when we had 8 in Westfield. Now that's getting the shaft! I'll tell you, this stuff is the most like sand I've seen snow in years, you'd think the snowblower was moving 16 inches

Will see what 12z does to see if 6z trend  real or fake, but I’m not feeling Thursday night doing much of anything

Re the blizzard, it in fact made a late adjustment toward reality. It was just slightly too far NW of what actually transpired the day-ish before, and then made a 'within error expectation' bump - which is obfuscated by the fact that there was theoretical room for NW adjustments prior to that.  It was a bit of journey, the total error of which - to me - was irrelevant really ...  I guess I'm saying that late bump was a no fault - considering that the other global models were pretty bad until just 60 hours or even 48 hours out, comparatively.

Not accounting for the rest of the winter/other events.. .just the blizzard.  I was rollin' eyes and annoyed when the bump back SE triggered street trash.

6z Euro looked like it would have been good next week
