tl;dr

Yeah I'm sure it'd be raining at FVE with the low east of the Cape. d16 magic.

C-/D+ so far.

Egg McMuffin?

They aight all things considered. The bigger pile is by the birds. We don’t melt a lot of snow on the north side of the hill. They get pretty high in AN winters.

31/20 and sun. Spring airmass.

4” wouldn’t be too bad. I’ll be able to try out the new blower skids. It looks a lot like last week’s system...just gotta get the QPF to verify.

Gone wild

93 had some pretty deep storms.

Just had about 3 dozen turkeys in the yard. This isn't all of them.

I’m not sure we knew anymore then than we knew now, but I’ll admit my memory of it isn’t perfect.

Wow I totally overlooked that yesterday even though I looked at the HYD obs. I was so focused picking out -30s that I didn't even let my eye peek for -40s. Impressive.

In the fall of 2001 all of the LR guys had 01-02 being an epic winter.

CON ended up with 48.9" in 11-12, but it would've ended up their least snowiest winter on record if they had 0" in October instead of 23.0". But getting an event like that instantly takes the season out of the running for the worst ever. We did better up here, relatively speaking, than CON from that point on as well. 88-89 and 79-80 sucked, but at least they were dry. More CON data... 79-80 DJF-W 1.93" 0.43" 0.78" - 3.14" 88-89 DJF-W 1.05" 0.74" 2.05" - 3.84" 01-02 DJF-W 2.24" 2.01" 1.98" - 6.23" 19-20 DJF-W 5.45" 1.95" 1.55" - 8.95" So if it isn't going to snow, I'd prefer to at least avoid rain. CON has almost 9" of liquid and only 35" of snow to show for it this winter. That's really pathetic. I mean you're pushing a sleet ratio there for the entire season on average. At least 79-80 and 88-89 were closer to 8-9:1. 01-02 was another putrid 5-6:1 type winter with only 34".

Any of you weenies know where I can find a roll of plastic material similar to what they use in these airpot planters? I know there's dimpled drainage products out there. The closest I could find from a box store was from Menards. https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/insulation/foundation-insulation-coatings/superseal-5-0-x-65-6-dimpled-foundation-membrane/sm50150/p-1444444226423.htm Yeah, I'd have to drill my own holes, but I'd save a lot of money and could make the pots whatever size I want. Something with holes already in it would be even better.

It's kinda been like that the entire 2000s though. There's a big +AO there though so north of the arctic circle is pretty much blue and the mid lats orange. I know you know this, but just sayin'.

Had some light drizzly/snizzly precip at home when I left, but we’re getting some big aggregates right now at CON. Haven’t looked at much yet, but just a quick glance at radar makes me think there’s some seeder feeder action. Just a hint of better echoes moving through is flipping it to snow.

Glad to hear you're enjoying winter.

One look at AK tells you all you need to know.

Philly weenies need to appreciate their 0.3" season to date more.

I mean congrats to everyone on the season of winter. But the weather we normally associate with it has been tough to come by.

C'mon...we all know what he means and that it isn't literal. There's no need to put lipstick on a pig. For many in SNE it's been below normal snow and well above normal temps. IOW, a non-existent winter for your standards.

Massabesic Lake near my birth house in S NH hit -43°.

Start low. You can always go lower.
