Snowcrazed71

My other half those french pretty well, me not so much lol. My mom is a Canadian citizen, so I can put in for dual citizenship. It really is a thought, but we're not going anywhere for at least the next 12 years. Who knows, by that point Quebec City may be more like New York City with the weather haha

That's so funny! You should say that. My husband and I originally were thinking that we'd be retiring down in South America or the Caribbean, now......We're actually thinking about retiring up in Quebec City. That will make me a very happy man lol

And Torch Tiger you're one of the few that loves to taunt people and not a nice way. Doesn't bother me, but just know that you could use a class on proper etiquacy.

It surely does suck. It would be nice that just once things would stay consistent a week out. So normal to feel this way, and I happily admit that I feel disappointed to, and I will again. But one of these will stick ( and when it does we're all going to be on the roof like little kids, getting ready to go sled riding after a big snowstorm with all our friends ). That's why we all keep coming back. Glutton for punishment lol

No, MJO812 is right. Even the meteorologists in Connecticut talked about the possibility of a big nor'easter and snow being likely the end of next week. So of course everyone was going to get excited. It just looked like a pattern that would be locked. So in all fairness, give him a break.. you don't always have to feel the need to correct somebody. I think a lot of us were excited.

What sucks is Winter is truly my favorite season. What initially looked like a December to remember is disappointing to say the least, but I remind myself that we have January, February, and March. It sucks to see people either want to give up on this Winter ( I'm sorry..late fall ), or others thriving over taunting others for there own benefit. But .. the way of the world I guess. I posted something and then deleted it as I wrote it with my emotions, not with my head. Im still very excited for what the rest of the Winter will bring, and like last year, when we did get that period into February where many of us were happy, the same will probably happen this year.

I have a question for you. Can you honestly say that what the models are showing last night and early today are the final outcome for next Thursday, Friday? Did you just join this thread? Lol In all seriousness, things are bound to change from what they're showing today. From all of the model runs. Maybe you enjoy getting a rise out of people, but if you were smart, you would take these runs with a grain of salt and see where we fall as we get towards Sunday Monday. There are lots of things changing in the atmosphere. And we have the coldest air that we've seen so far coming down to the US heading towards the east the end of next week. Give it some time to get all of these things ingested into the computers to see where it's going to fall

You know, I have to agree. The storm next week may be the actual one that sets us up for the next one the following week. If it cuts in, there is so much cold air behind it that will have all that cold air to hit the next one. I really really would love a white Christmas. But I really don't want it on Christmas Eve. That's a big day for my whole family, and we finally have everybody here this year to get together. It doesn't happen on Christmas Eve itself. I would rather take rain, sorry guys. ( And I'm the biggest snow weenie on here )

Ya know... I swear you love to focus the negatative. Lol

Now I do wonder, if it is a hugger, we do have a lot more cold air behind the storm that we didn't have with the one today. I'm wondering if that actually could help things a little bit. If the storm strengthens a lot, can really wrap that cold air in. Just a thought

It's great having these discussions on what could happen next Thursday and Friday. But again, looking back at the model runs from last night and this morning, it's not like 75% of them are showing a horrible outcome. There are more outcomes in our favor than not. And of course things are going to change over the next several days. Why are some of us saying it's a done deal and it's over. We go through this every single time. Let's give it some time guys. Let's give it some time.

Same goes for me man. Until we actually have a legitimate snowstorm to follow. Funny thing is, if we get something 2 days later that becomes a major snowstorm you know will be on here like nothing ever happened lol

Conversely.. look at all the member off shore. It's to early to worry. Have a beer and relax ;-)

The models are going to show so many different scenarios. The mere fact that there's a storm on the models, and some really good cold air around are all encouraging signs. Yesterday they showed blockbuster storm but it takes a lot to get that kind of storm in December. I just hope we do get some snow, even if it's just two to four inches. That way we'll have a nice festive Christmas

Looking at all 3 most recent runs ( GFS, Euro, GEM )... Not sure what you mean about cuttery? All show the storm of the coast ( yes... Closer into the coast on 2 and a little further out on another ). Still a great look and signal for next week.

That's odd. It's 33 here. Raining from what I see, but surprised it's down to 33?

I could swear there is are some wet flakes mixing in here.

Since we're waiting a bit. If we look back on some of our larger storms in the past. If we had similar output 7 days prior to the actual date of the storm? It a very good amount of agreement with several of the models. Definitely not something we see often. And we are one week out from it, so definitely more substance to what we're seeing today.

Ya know you're on the hook now! But.. that's ok .... We've got your back!

If I get a little surprise late Friday night to coat up the ground.. that would be great. But I'm super hopeful for the storm next week.

It's definitely a done deal here. I thought maybe we'd see some accumulating snow at least on the back end. But it's elevation dependent for sure. Even at my elevation of 550 is not going to work where I'm at.

I thought I'd have a chance on rattlesnake mountain, but I'm only up about 550 ft. I'm going to have to wait till next week and hope we get something towards the end of that week. That's okay though. We got a lot of winter left to go, doesn't even officially start till next week

Ryan.. I'm west of Hartford about 12 miles. Will we see this small accumulation at the end when it flips to snow.. or the beginning ( or a little of both ).

I'm right on the Farmington line in Plainville. I'm also up about 550'. These trends are definitely my friend here. But, I'm going in cautiously. I'd rather be surprised on the flip to snow Friday and not disappointed if it does not flip over. I do love these scenarios though... Kind of keeps us in suspense ( not that I don't like knowing we are getting 2' as an absolute ). We shall see. There is plenty more Winter to come over the next months.

Although seeing a change in Friday, looks like this rain will flip back to snow which is a bit of a change from yesterday for us in inland Connecticut
