December is preferable but March is more likely. And once snow chances end here we have to endure spring. I’m planning to escape to warmth for a week or 2 in March

No. The 18th was kind of a disappointment

I remember it! The first serious dump (widespread 6-12) that year. Then we had some OES and didnt Weymouth get 18-24 total?

Paradise Ranger Station (which I visited in June 1990) begs to differ. To thnk the Cascades don’t get too much snow is to not know the area at all.

Winter is totally useless without snow

Its the near term first system that is a rain event for most in SNE that we can substantially thank.

It may be light but the euro is days and days of snow.

It’s impressive but it far from unprecedented. Remember you have many stations >7k in elevation in the west. Mammoth Mtn had a 31 foot base by late winter 1977-78. Oh and sne did quite well at the same time. Signature 20th century blizzard for Boston to providence.

Or....you’re an uber weenie and can work from anywhere. But there s not much going on for young people in Aroostook County.

NAO positive talk brings relief to some of our NNE posters..

That’s a downeast dumping.

“Shorter of breath, one day closer to death...”

Gfs in deep clown range bringing in the motherlode into the upper Midwest.

Nice cold long walk with temperature of 20 tonight. I see BOS came in with 23 at midnight with room to drop. Feel of winter. Normal for a few weeks from now.

That was a longitude event. I lived a few blocks from wxniss and we met for a walk while it was pounding. After about 45 minutes it was pouring rain but the event got rescued as we went back to snow 2 hours later. I think my current location got around 8 inches.

Latitude

And my recollection is January had periods of major torching but February and March redeemed that winter big time. Either way-looking more and more like I’ll spend some time in key west late winter-probably early to mid March.

Tick tick. Decent snow for many during the day on the front end. Pike region looks good. You can see the nao keeping that press going so the trend is good.

Here’s a delta for 24 hours later for him….

I’m not a met. But to answer your question nothing was ever accurate at d7. In fact, the original gfs had the short range AVN that went out to 72 hours and the longer range MRF to d10 which was (and still is) ultra lala land. Cmc went to d6 mainly available on the shitty graphics environment Canada. The euro was run once daily (12z) with plots in 24 hour increments. And it wasn’t available until around 7pm. Some of the mets had better access but we would wait for unisys output to d6. Later d7. Few had access to eps so one of the mets would describe it but were not allowed to post it. Accuracy through d4/5 is better vs 15+ years ago but there’s so much availability and so much trust that everyone presumes the models sucked. I remember pd2. The euro had the idea but the track was way off until d4 when it locked in. Same for all the biggies.

It’s also highlighting the change from the previous run. The look is actually nice for us.

Iowa the moralist today. Hint-the weather I root for has no effect on verification.

For the better
