That low was still SE of us, I believe. It just pumped warm air aloft over our heads.

I don't think so. The cutters on the models have all trended weak and SE over time since the Grinch. That was the last time I had any liquid precip here of note (maybe some freezing drizzle a couple times).

Definitely that aspect. I have a couple protected spots on the north side of the house to compare better to him but he really has a great location for measuring up near the ice gulch path where the land kinda dips downwards almost into a shady bowl.

Yep, snowpack and retention has been great since the New Year holiday. Based on those averages, it would seem some years trade-off with more snowfall but also more melting. Ending up at the same place.

I’m at 1550 and he is at 1750. I haven’t noticed any major differences in our totals since the start of real winter, aside from he takes better measurements and doesn’t have it thrown off by settling. In the three big synoptic events, I was right along with with him with my unscientific measurements. I think a bigger discrepancy will emerge when things start to get really marginal and that extra 200 feet might mean wet snow versus white rain. Maybe this weekend I will take a core sample and melt it to see what I have.

I don't want to sound like a whiner. This has been the greatest winter of my life and it isn't event close. Part of how I interact with this board is through whining and trolling, though. I have nearly 25,000 posts so I have been here a while and I go back to the WWBB days. @ORH_wxman and @dendrite know that. This first winter here has been amazing for me and the NE crew has been incredibly welcoming. The best subforum here by far. @HoarfrostHubb @dryslot @Lava Rock @Damage In Tolland @CoastalWx @40/70 Benchmark @weathafella @powderfreak @J.Spin @Ginx snewx and many others have been great. I just want one more 10" storm with some wind and then I am ready for spring and my place at the beach with heat, haze, and humidity. Yes, this is a melt.

Last June was super hot though. I think I brought a minor curse on NNE by moving here from a snow hellhole, but my one year penance is already nearly up! Regular climo will return soon. I held off on buying a snowmobile this year and that helped keep us from having a 2015-2016 repeat.

I am hoping for a big March period that hits @dryslot and @Lava Rock too while giving heavy rain to SE Mass. LOL

The snowpack has definitely been awesome since mid January. It has barely budged for weeks. No issues there. I am just craving a big wound-up system with some wind, I think. Doesn't need to be more than 10".

Thanks as always. Usually after a J. Spin pep talk it starts snowing well here within a few days.

Does George have a book too?

I think a couple days of upslope to freshen it all back up will help a lot.

It hasn't been that bad of course, but things have been quite active this February with synoptic events outside NNE. Been basically every week in SNE it seems. We have missed most of those in terms of anything meaningful. Aside from the early-month event, it has been rather boring. Flakes in the air are cool, but the upslope was better in January. Hoping for a grand finale period in March to push me to 130" or so.

Looks like some grinch BS with snow pushing into northern Alabama.

Yeah, trying to tell myself March is a winter month there. By March 15th winter is really on it's deathbed in MD (if it ever lived in the first place) but records say Randolph is good through early April.

That was an ugly run. Misses and cutters. Even the cutters have been trending SE and weak to the point they miss. The storm today started out as a warm rainer and turned into a weak turd. So far, every time I have had a melt I have received 15"+ within a week, so perhaps it will work a 4th time.

It's the sense of what could have been and also the many, many near misses on the models. It's incredibly easy to get feet of digital snow here given the climate. Every slug of moisture seems to fizzle by the time it gets here, however. It would be nice to have one of these stretches with a couple decent SWFEs verify. Been modeled all winter. Also, my area is beating every other spot in NH because I cashed in on the three big synoptic storms (early December, mid January, early February). Places that underperformed on those events are have a crappy winter because it's been kinda dead for long periods between those events. Like Alex, for example.

112” actually. below average is what it is no matter the location.

4-6 in SNE. 12+ in Jersey.

This is probably the peak of how it will look. All downhill from here.

So easy to toss. Models have shown that same precip distribution several times this winter and it has never even come close.

Big surprise that the best banding ended up over fringe land! That never happens!

More woodchipper action up here.

Amp the damn thing up here, please.
