  1. PWM raked in 65.8" in 30 days but still felt like we missed out.
  2. Scooter has pictures taped to his ceiling.
  3. It looks like a tightrope. Could be a bit of a blue bomb into the foothills, but could also be 33 and rain.
  4. I think your namesake will probably be the biggest limiting factor here. Blows through south of the mountains pretty quickly.
  5. The only thing I can think of is they were either so blinded by personal agenda and got caught, or it was intentional to build a profile by being "cancelled".
  6. I've been refreshing your poop every couple of days. Because that shit literally ends up coming north eventually.
  7. In my opinion it's such a weird way to go out. As top scientists they could have steered research towards their preferred solutions. Instead they opted to push out suspect research and slap an official seal on it without approval. I can do my own research here, but I can't slap it on our website under the NWS/NOAA seal without approval first.
  8. I definitely don't take it as a criticism, and actually sometimes I come here because I can't check every P&C for accuracy and consistency. I like to say we're way more akin to a graphic designer than how these guys did things.
  9. You're mostly right. Sometimes it a broad brushed range over a larger area. But BTV does a better job than most at talking about details down to specific areas of the mountains. I'm actually trying to get better at drilling down to those finer geographical points in my discussions, but it's hard to put that kind of detail into the forecast and still have time to get it out. You could spend all day crafting a perfect forecast for Stowe, Bretton Woods, or Newfound Lake, but those are all just one grid point of thousands.
  10. Is that a request? I'm on long term, so I can give you all rain. It's actually surprisingly easy to keep snow in the forecast. Most of our weather type tools allow some snow up to 37 degrees. We're not ready for full automation yet, you have to be pretty intentional about what you're trying to put into the grids to make it to the P&C. The newer folks are still learning that.
  11. Yeah threw a 24" Ariens on the Home Depot card with no interest for 12 months when we moved into our house and paid it off in a year for less than $70 a month.
  12. That was the year you took back all Bryce's Christmas presents.
  13. I don't know the v16 had a little NorLun tickling his fanny at 312 hours yesterday.
  14. I don't know why it's like pulling teeth but it is, even if it's a silly obvious mistake missed in QC like precip getting put in the snow column.
  15. If you never update the obs at NCEI did it ever happen?
  16. That's one way to put it. BDL reported 38 inches on the ground on 1/13 and a T by 1/20 after temps near 60 and and 1-1.5 inches of rain. That's about as good as thaw as you can get.
  17. Sun angle starting to get harsh.
  18. Remember the rule, snow starts sooner than you think but so does the sleet.
  19. That's what happens. If you don't keep up on it your hopes and dreams will end up frozen to the driveway.
  20. Bufkit is spitting out some higher numbers (~3") but it's not the best look from the 12z. Most of the lift is below the DGZ. Even though I think it'll thump for a couple of hours here, that's probably not going to be better than 10:1, so a couple inches and then mixy. Not totally sold on the backside snows either. Good lift in the DGZ, but who knows what the temps will be by then. Interior may be able to score some bonus out of it though.
  21. It's also partly due to the area over which the advisory is in place. It averages the amounts over all the zones, including the CT valley, etc. Southern Coos itself would read a higher average than 3-5 for sure. I probably have your backyard somewhere around 5.5" give or take a grid box.
