While I know the psychiatric approach, I will still wonder exactly what changed in my brain that made weed go from a must-have life enhancer to something that is extremely dysphoric and sends me straight to psychosis.

Yes. I’ve been anxious to cash in on my 48 inches

12z isn’t exactly ruling out E CT here. On target for 3 inches but yeah tonight and tomorrow are important

Did you know they changed the name from 100,000 dollar bar to 100 Grand?

I’m on the western edge of the best risk

I’ve been to Albany. I accessed it by traveling up parallel to that the Hudson River with its majestic cliffs on the opposite side. it’s a weird area despite its beauty. It seems so far away from the world

No because I’m December 2009 I was in Reno being buried by major snows there. There is a dot over the spot on the map of the snowfall I was in in CT where totals were greater than 14 inches on Boxing Day. That spot is right over where I was. It’s a page or three back I posted it here

Of note…. Canadian showing a plastering of places like northern TN, KY, places that just got hounded. Really shaping up a big deal for those guys down there

That’s not funny. I have aspergers and am a serious risk factor for CTE from spending my youth slamming my head against furniture for hours at a time. I have serious psych symptoms and require amphetamine and risperidone just to act like a normal human being. but I have a savant memory for weather and a lifelong hobby of following it. It was not 6 inches. It was well over a foot. The map even says so. And who smokes pot. I haven’t smoked in years that sends me straight to paranoid psychosis.

Pull this west by 25 miles

It’s easy to mix up a memory about 15 versus 30 inches. But when You remember massive walls of deep snow, and was a grown adult at the time, you can’t say it was 6 inches when a snowfall report map over your hood backs you up.

The map… and my memory…. Say no less than 15 inches. If you look at that map it shows a very small area right over Coventry of above 14 inches. How can we both be wrong. I get it that the majority of CT got 3-6 inches but we got much much more! Anyway I’m sorry for this distraction how about this week. Are we in for a historical hit!!? One in which a map of snowstorm totals will permanently placed for Google image search?

No it was Boxing Day indeed. I was situated under a localized maximum

Western Coventry hilltops Hannah lane

No I did not. I’m right after all. 14 to 20 inches on the map. Right where I was…. And guarantee it was closer to 20. I remember the forecast leading up to it as well was something on the order of forecasting 10 to 20 inches but most people got screwed evidently

He is married to a woman. Just not the same one.

Why am I so confused. I wonder if this massive storm I am thinking about…. Was not the Boxing Day storm. What was it? I swear there was a multi footer, that Christmas 2010 had all that snow. I was about 25 years old. We’re there multiple storms that week? My recollections are pretty vivid… even what YouTube music videos I watched when I was there. Rihanna what’s my name…. The song Animal by some weird group that nobody remembers.

So perhaps this would be an event where the keepers say “no, Willimantic, this is a mild winter and you’ve already had 2 inches at Christmas so this storm is only for Boston.

Boxing Day slammed my hood on the west side of Coventry Ct with like 30 - 35 inches of snow. My dad was married to a woman and they had a huge house. But strangely I remember the storm taking place before Christmas like the 22nd not the 27th. But my adult memory isn’t as strong as my childhood one

Seems like Willimantic is a pretty good spot for this one. Maybe a risk of some sleet mixing in late.

Humans always like to talk about “averages” and normal and what, and this is true dealing with snowfall and winters. But seriously in most locations, at least now days, averages seem to mean nothing. And in some years, like 2004-2005 you’re getting plastered storm after storm after storm almost the entire winter. Some of them massive blizzards. or you might have a 2019-2020 situation where you get almost nothing at all the entire season. My curiosity for this event we are tracking is the idea of the pattern of a winter flipping from really mild for weeks, to a seriously snowy and brutal winter pattern. Because I don’t know many winters in my memory that do that. Which is why I feel like we are maybe being duped by the models. This has been a “miss” winter for us so far. is it just a matter of patterns tending to stick for more amounts of months than are contained within a season before they have a chance to change?

It might just be the orientation of the flow, the wind… but why THAT happens well it’s just physics And lots of luck predicting that 3-4 days out.

The Nested Grid Model? That’s a throwback even older than the “Lean Back” song. A feature of my teenage years reading what were much more jumbled forecast discussions at the NWS. I consider 2006-2016 even to be fairly modern with forecasting accuracy but the late 1990s thru perhaps 2002 were messy and full of many weird surprises.

I’m not optimistic about this thing at all. especially after falling for the GFS, which refuses to factor in the presence of very dry air. They tried to tell me. I should probably check back on Wednesday night.

That’s right.
