Feb/Mar was pretty crappy in SE areas in 2011...after the Feb 2nd storm, most of the events were N of pike type events.
-
Yes, it's actually an explosive look....Ukie did that at 00z which is why it slammed all the way back to western NE.
-
Yeah SE MA was porked pretty bad late in the 2010-2011 season and then at the start of the 2012-2013 (with the horrific 2011-2012 season sandwiched in between) so it was a 2 year slump for that area.
-
84h NAM...but it looks pretty good at 12z.
-
I wouldn't call that on life support given it's still 4.5 days out...there's several members that give at least advisory snows (I counted about 15 out of 50 that do, so that is 30%) and it's a little better looking than 00z. So the trend is in the right direction. We do need an improvement though at 12z or I would call it on life support.
-
06z eps gives tepid support. Would like to see a good bump NW on the 12z suite
-
It’s definitely getting a bit more interesting. Just sharpen up that trough just a tad and it’s a legit storm.
-
We're going March 1956 this year to throw the entire breadth of prognosticators on tilt.
-
That's a much better looking shortwave, but it gets screwed because of the 2/13-14 system being a bit too close....if the spacing was slightly better, the 2/15 shortwave would go nuts into a good Miller B.
-
The storm is still possible, but it will take some significantly better changes. The fact that we are trending in a worse direction at D5 is a pretty big negative...you'd at least like to see the status quo at D5 and not trend worse. GGEM actually liked a totally different system behind the 2/13-14 system...tries to get a Miller B going for 2/15....but GFS and Ukie weren't biting.
-
925 looks like it had a decent easterly component to it last night....here's the 03z and 06z plots:
-
I got 180.8 by arithmetic...used the 3 N Foster totals plus your 40.2 YTD total (since N Foster doesn't have data past December yet this year)....that is 180.8".
-
GGEM and Ukie are duds too....this one is in the ICU.
-
Done....I moved it over there. Agreed on thread title...not very accurate at the moment....doesn't look like a miller B either (though things can always change)
-
I posted in George's thread....I wouldn't have started a thread that early, but it already exists so might as well use it.
-
I thought you were using N Foster coop? If you aren't then you have received woefully less than them which makes me question you averaging the same that they do northeast of you and a bit higher up.
-
Because the Haverhill and Lawrence coops suck ass. Lowell used to be ok, but they stopped reporting consistently a few years ago. Groveland coop is probably the best one in his area.
-
-
Fwiw, the 06z EPS trended worse than the 00z EPS which looked interesting.
-
Even where I am, I frequently have snow pack in the first couple weeks of March. It's more common to have pack here in early March than it is for most of December. It definitely changes after the first couple weeks.
-
We're excluding 2017-2018 Anyways, I calculated Ginxy's % of normal if we included 2021-2022 like Ray did....the number will rise as we get more snow in 2021-22. Total snow is 180.8 which is 73% of average. For me, I'm at 77% of average since 2018-19.
-
I can still walk on top of my pack...this storm basically did nothing at all to it. Sheet of ice on the driveway. Got up to 36F briefly yesterday afternoon and then it dropped to just above freezing the rest of the event.
-
Most coop stations are too low because the observer probably just measures once per day regardless of when the storm ends. There are no reliable ones near you best I can tell. The old Ashfield coop was good but they stopped reporting a while back and they are also higher up at 1300 feet.
-
You average more than him....he's going on just the last 30 years. Best I can see is that Reading is about 65-66" in the last 30 years but that is trying to guesstimate with some missing data in key years like 1995-1996 and 2002-2003.
-
It has tepid support...it's not dead, but it's gonna need some better trends today though.
