I'm savoring this one-a throwback to my youth. The deep winter cold laying down the foundation with perfect timing. The classic cirrus gathering in the SW sky, the excitement of a big snow on the way. I grew up in the 1950s and early 60s. The 1950s were not so kind to snow lovers until the latter half of the decade. But my early years taught me to appreciate every aspect of the storm including the prodromal high paint brush cirrus. When i was 9 years old, I read a book entitled "All About the Weather" by ivan Ray Tannehill. He described a gathering storm similar to what we're hopefully about to experience. I'm quoting but entirely from memory: "It may be a clear cold day in winter whn you notice wispy high clouds in the sky to the west." I remember the line-"the wind whistles in the pines and roars in the eaves". Some of you older posters wil probably remember the same experience as me reading and validating what I was feeling......excitement...it was going to snow! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Ray_Tannehill -

The way I do it is watch in my 4 season porch with huge windows and wide open visible. Then I take a quick walk at halftime and after the game until the NFC contest. -

For sure. But uncle showed less qpf from Luke down through nyc which is what I was referring to. I think the orographic assist should be enhanced if we do Monday properly. -

I agree. Event fatigue has set in. I’ll be leaving 2/1 so this is likely my event of the year. Though I should be back the first week of March so who knows… -

They match 10:1 pretty closely this time. Match the qpf. The dark blue is 15”, the mauve is 18”, redder 21”. There’s a 2” qpf stripe that matches that frim BOS to part of the south shore. -
