  1. No, you’re not playing right, you need to constantly be dissatisfied and fretting about the next storm threat.
  2. But you know it will just ride out as months of purgatory, so we may as well hope, the pattern tends towards snowy outcomes for New England.
  3. Luckily, very little snow in Franklin County today so everything should be like glass after the rain. Folks are out on the ice fishing everywhere. I’m might walk out on Barton Cove tomorrow with the chisel to see how much ice there is. Guessing it’s probably 4 to 6 inches. There’s already a few pop-up shanties set up out there.
  4. As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know.
  5. NW MA was a shutout but models all at least agreed on that! No complaints, it’s been full on winter here for two weeks.
  6. That looks like absolute March snow type paste!
  7. After an hour or two of dim sun actually steady light snow for the past half hour. It’s coming from the north though so not sure it’s association with our storm. Just a heavy coating today though, which is what I expected.
  8. Yeah, it’s still wall-to-wall snow pack here. I drove to Chelmsford yesterday and noticed a sharp cut off in snow past Fitchburg. Let me know next time you’re coming through so we can meet for a beer.
  9. Your area was sort of the cutoff. West of the Quabbin is pretty much just a dusting. We had about 30 minutes of light snow in Greenfield earlier but nothing since. Congrats to southern and eastern peeps.
  10. This is going to be a decent hit for the Cape and Islands. Probably a few 6” reports down that way tomorrow.
  11. Gee, I’ve never heard anybody say that before…
  12. Snow on beaches is very cool. I just can't chase to Falmouth this weekend.
  13. This could end up a warning event somewhere between Montauk and Provincetown.
  14. Anything over 48 hours starts to suck more with each passing hour. That's why I don't get why folks wish for these events.
  15. This is a nice synopsis of the 1998 ice event and the meteorology behind it. https://www.weather.gov/btv/25th-Anniversary-of-the-Devastating-1998-Ice-Storm-in-the-Northeast
  16. I’m glad Greenfield was never in play with this. It makes my frustration factor zero. Hoping southern peeps can at least get 1-2”.
  17. It was very elevation dependent. But yes, lots of damage in the hill towns.
  18. Major ice storm set ups are tenuous at best. 1998 had a low stalled out over the lakes and high pressure in just the right place in Quebec. That’s what allowed a good fetch of gulf moisture to ride into the Arctic air for days.,
  19. Mom’s 90th birthday party got moved from Sunday to Saturday so that’s gonna make it a little tougher for me. I’ll see if I can get there around 5-6pm.
