it is the 6.5" of really thick meaty snowpack up here that makes this tolerable. But if we don't get at least 6" of powder on top of this in the next week or 10 days, it will become a PITA. Up here we are on the edge but still optimistic. Deep winter look outside this morning on the walk.

I was ready to cancel on Xmas last year when my 28.5 inches melted off in 7 days.

3 or 4 degrees above normal is a torch in the 50s? I'm probably misinterpreting the map.

We like the cold air source nearby especially when there is a SE ridge that pushes he storm track up our way. You don’t like where you sit in that gradient? It’s not a Miller A party but that is swfe and Miller b city

To me that looks good and would that not produce regular snowfall events across New England so perhaps not large ones unless we get something to dig in phase Miller b

But with blocking don’t we see a trend south or something towards redevelopment along the coast that helps out many or at least some?

Love that you did that. Brian and I live above 600 ft which makes a real difference to even the level at 93 along the river. He’s a few miles north of me though so he usually has slightly more snow but I think there’s a good 6 inches on the ground and it is definitely meaty. I’m hoping the week will be additive and then will get a big storm at some point

On my ride back home. Graupelly light snow here in SW CT at 36 degrees

It’s generally good, although when we have a full PNA and a strong 50-50 we get screwed over. But you’re right in this situation we have a nice wintery landscape and maybe a great base if we don’t haw too much

And another 1-2 tonight? A bit more mixed Thursday? And then a question mark but probably at least somewhat frozen as the new year starts? That’s a solid pack that one 6-10 inch storm makes very nice

I think 12/17/08 Give me about 5 inches, followed by about 12 inches on the 19th and another 14 inches on the 21st

From WPC overnight: A blocky and amplified ridge/upper high anchored over the northern Pacific should finally begin to break down and weaken next weekend. Before that though, renewed troughing (and chilly weather) will continue across the Western U.S., including a southern stream closed low near southern California Thursday-Friday. An initial northern stream shortwave will send one system across the Great Lakes/Northeast late this week, but by the weekend a stronger system (and northern Pacific ridge weakening) should finally allow for a pattern shift as amplified troughing shifts into the central U.S. and the East

And HRRR maybe 2. Not much of anything in the zones though but these are 18z

Wow if that happens that would be great! I would really hate to come home to the condition of my driveway and walkway looks like right now. Do you really think we might get a few inches overnight? I haven’t seen any forecast of that but I would trust what you have to say more than most.Wow if that happens that would be great!

I think we can make a distinction between a Direct cause and a relevant factor. Certainly climate change by itself isn’t causing any particular winter weather event or not. But there are thousands and millions of factors and forces that create the weather and climate changes influencing those, so why there’s no direct causation there’s certainly an influence on our weather all the time when conditions are changing. It doesn’t need to be an either or a conversation I shouldn’t be in my opinion

Radar looks like nothing but a few showers

In the end, a net addition, an awful driveway, and a stronger pack. And another day helping the pond ice thicken. We’ll see about Wednesday Thursday , maybe too warm, but after Jan 1 we get a good stretch to build on this bullet proof pack.

This should be saved into the emoticons.

Looks like mostly sleet still at mi casa on the cam but patio is coated with something

Looks like an 07-08 map

My home cam looks like maybe some flakes mixing in but I can hear the sounds of sleet. There’s a lot of precipitation still out to the west so if it flips to snow it could be much nicer to return home to everything covered up as opposed to just ice

The Eagle is frozen, but I’m in Baldymore
