40/70 Benchmark

@michsnowfreak31.3" in 1995-1996? Holy $hit....I had 127.5"....that must be the only time in recorded history, and likely ever, that Philly received more in one event than you did for the season. Although 2009-2010 was closer in the Baltimore area...

8.75". Been a microcosm of the last 8 years for me...I'm always too far in one direction or another, and/or too close/far from the ocean. Infuriating.

That was a record ridge, though....didn't see anyone forecast that magnitude.

No argument here.

Def. somewhat less snowfall than I expected to this point....was referencing the pattern.

Absolutely. You've done a good job this month.

Get that mid-month signal into the weekend and I'll start writing.

No, you won't. One warning event in February and a big early March coastal. Only thing NOT going for me is my snow total so far....about the same as you.

Thanks, man...will probably reference this in the February preview to buttress my pre-season work.

Precisely as planned AFAIC....only wrinkle so far has been the huge -WPO ridge making December even colder than thought.

I have noticed ice on certain surfaces even just above freezing at certain points this season given all of the cold that has been around....

It was pretty icy in my area...28 and raining moderately when I left. 2 hour delay for school. My side street was slippery, but main roads fine. Snow is now encased. 29.8 now.

1000mb mean pressure at this range is actually pretty significant.
