Are we making this a legit thread? Would be nice. Winter ain't over yet, but the NFL is.

Too much dairy maybe?  Not sure either but either way loose stools will be the result

There is a category in the New England Forum called SnowStorm memories. In it, "the Four Seasons", red-tag, has extensive maps, etc on all New England Storms going back to the mid-90s. What is interesting is that he says:

 

PD II updated maps coming next. Oddly, i just check the list of all historic storms i have on the website right now and theres almost nothing from Feb 15th to the end of Feb other than PD2 and 1999/2010 for big ones. 

Tons in March though.

This is the most important thread of the season, but first I'm going to enjoy the incoming thaw.

Might as well play along with this, here's the 6z Euro AI for the 22nd-23rd

decent lol. Its a hecs compared to what we have had since 2016

[Terpeast]

Based on 500mb vort, euro ai is a thread the needle timing play for next weekend. Will have to wait to see more support from other models by Wednesday

How many times have we seen this map on either the Euro or EuroAI? Crazy. But they have yet to be correct. And no, I  don't consider 1/25 anything close to this map or previous similar ones this year.

Good thing we're so good at threading needles!

This winter has seemed like a lot of it’s a week away threats. Ofc, none of them had high probabilities of hitting but the fact only one of them (and it was the only STJ wave so higher confidence further out) did anything is pretty unlucky.

Earned the right to be snarky for sure, just pointing out that euro ai isn’t gonna be easy to verify

It’s fool’s gold. We see it 8 days out all the time.

"It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for us to get a snowstorm!" 

But seriously, I still kinda have hope for that general period around the 24th. The 12Z GFS looked craptastic for much of its run but even still showed some potential near that time. Earlier runs showed similar hints too. 

[bncho]

if some of that euro AI output is sleet it'll happen. We do sleet very well in the MA.

Be careful with "fools gold". I got into hot water last week with that term!!!!

Consistency counts for something.  This is the second run for AI liking next Sunday/Monday.

What isn’t easy to verify around here. lol

Euro has two events (I think, basing off 2m temps and precip). One for the 23rd (maybe 2-4"?) and one for March 1st-2nd (rain to snow?)
