Too much absolutes on social media. Pattern can still go either way after the cold shot. No spiking the ball yet.

I think I found the slant stick ruler to use for this storm?

Nams gone wild, different spots though. 12k gets eastern ct with 4”+ then 3k gets NEmass with 4-8”

Said b4 - this place has gr8 entertainment value. Almost better if there's no real wx happening

Who said there was going to be a torch in Feb? Seems like a straw man.

Lol, thanks for the pro tip! Don't have a toboggan but we have a longer plastic sled I'm gonna try. Also have a couple of the old American Flyers with the metal runners I could sand down and wax up, but I don't think I'd get too far with those. I'm 6'4 and 220 lbs, lol.

19z NBM ticked up again

I think I used a toboggan on this snow covered with ice stuff and flew down the hill, Apply some silicone spray on the bottom and you'll break records, Think Chevy Chase Christmas vacation...

TWC sniffing something out lol. Bet it’s gone in the forecast tomorrow. .

Non melting snow? Now that's a interesting concept....probably a dream come true for some weenies,

You're welcome, Bob. I didn't bring it up. Just think we should be accurate if we're going to claim the forecasts were wrong for that period. We have a lot of weather forecasters and meteorologists on here, and it's bad enough to be slammed for a missed forecast, let alone forecasts that were correct.

Our depths been hovering between 8-9" the last 10 days or so too.

Guy is in the ENSO thread lately...always something out of left field....grain of salt.

Yeah, now that I think about it... I think it's there CDAS or whatever that shows the past anomalies that always seems to show an anomalously cooler area over Lake Superior. But that might be a problem with the lake temperature dataset.

Forgot to post these guys yesterday. Dusk at the park means chow time.

I'm ready for some fresh powder to blow around, but imagine this cold spell with bare ground or a dusting, no thanks. This has been awesome, even exceptional. Hoping for at least one more significant snow, ideally while some of what we have is still on the ground. I am enjoying this winter! I did try sledding earlier, and I either need to lose some weight or get a bigger sled, the sleet layer was settling underneath the sled and slowing me down. If I got up to speed faster it might work. Fun stuff, lol. 23F currently.

What a year for the CT shoreline…And there’s 6.5 weeks left to go…

Amazing cold on the way! WB 0Z HRRR

Shouldn't be that dramatic of a discrepancy though... the 1991-2020 normals are generally ~0.5F, maybe 1F warmer, than the 1981-2010 normals for most places. After all, they share 20 years.
