40/70 Benchmark

I think you are the one being overly sensitive...I was serious. There isn't a poster on this forum whom I haven't learned from...hell, even Kev has taught me the value of the ignore function.

Cool. You should do a short outlook next year...maybe we can all learn something.

It sucked up this way...better south of the pike.

I don't think it was obvious beforehand. If you are that good, write it out next time. I only know of one individual (met or hobbyist) who articulated his work and was reasonably accurate...lots of Monday QB, hindsight warriors who knew it all along.

39.4 at home...not bad.

If that PNA actually verifies and the ridge is further east than it has been....at this point, I just need to actually see it to believe it. Everything on paper says that we should see one, but I'm done telling people its coming and looking like an ass. Just have to wait and see.

My guess is that it will end up being some boring 3-6" overrunning deal. I don't think we are going big this season....nothing to block things up. Yes, I know Kevin is fine with that and no one else likes them but me. Got it-

Higher. The average for my area going back to the late 50s incorporating Reading coop data is like 63".

Through me off, too.

Reading has always been my trusted go-to.

Careful, it may be starting to shrivel at this point...be gentle....very, very gentile..

Will has been posting for like 10 minutes...probably updating the seasonal snowfall average chart.

This next event may be one of the more frustrating gradients of the season for me. I look like and inch or less, while like 20mi my north has 6".

I did well in this one...had 1-3" remaining ice near 495...actually ended up being more like 128, but decent call.

Yea...those are low.

Even the EURO gave me an inch...I could see a bit of snow on the front end up here.

That Lowell number is a good 10" too low. ORH is about 4" low...

+3" 31"

3" final with a bit of a crust on top....25.9

All snow in Methuen, obviously....okay growth at the moment...not great. Looks like moderate. 1" 23.4

.5" 23.7 S-

Doesn't look like much in the way of low level WAA yet...ominous.

Interesting...well, that explains alot. Tricky proposition forecasting sensible weather outcomes with blatant disregard for upper air patterns. I don't think I'll venture to try that.

I look forward to listening to a Sox broadcast out on my deck during a sweltering summer evening amid reports that somewhere in the deepest recesses of a rubber room in Brooklyn, snow88 is still endlessly refreshing wxbell while staring at an MJO chart muttering incoherently.

I started researching my winter outlook not long after I got back from my honeymoon in August, dude.. AUGUST. I was fantasizing about this winter while sitting on a beach in Maui. All that work, anticipation....for this? A 3 month long cold-rain-cold shuffle so adroit in the art of evading snowfall and engineering dissapointment among winter enthusiasts that its just inconceivable that its anything other than a conscious effort....an endless cespool of 2-3" rusty coat hangers that lead us chasing our tails in search of pots of gold over the rainbow that just frankly didn't exist. Hey, at least we have answered the riddle of just how much precipitation we can muster at nearly 43* latitude in the absence of a positive temp anomaly and still challenge record snowfall minima. What a three-month enema that will leave me walking sideways for years to come.
