TauntonBlizzard2013

I was cautiously optimistic this morning thst we may actually be moving toward a halfway decent event, and then of course the euro comes out and looks mediocre. itll nail this after being horrible the past two events

For all my haters out there, here’s a positive for you. Gfs took a big step towards something better with the clipper

The always frigid OBX high pressure. Our biggest snows come from those

Yup. 2010 was the last one here. Im over it, we’ve manufactured ways to fail around this time over the last 15 years. Even Scott I think has managed a couple. Just an epic grinch here

Epic pattern for very northern Maine on most guidance.

False. You do fine for most of the “event” you are elevated, and interior, even though SOP. Just hope it doesn’t warm up anymore, because you’ll be cooked if it does.

Interior NOP looks like a decent spot. Looking like we’ll get our 16th year in a row without a white Christmas here. truly incredible stuff

It definitely does not look good, probably going to want to be interior north of pike. Looks warm right up through the north shore and SE NH. Bring on the 60s. I’d rather that than whatever this nonsense we are tracking is. Nice weather to hang with family and friends

12z gfs looks great for NNE with the clipper on 12/23. Looks warm south of pike and most of eastern ma

What’s there to be positive about? The pattern looks like dog shit, especially south of the pike. I don’t like to pin my snow on a hope and prayer. We need to get very lucky, and that’s a bad spot to be.

Was I wrong? A clipper going near or north of us with a marginal airmass isn’t a recipe for snow. Did you even look? I’m not sure why so many people on this forum are adverse to facts and truths.

Almost 60 degrees. Love it

Cutting across the region or even north of here isn’t going to get it done. Id feel good in NNE

Looks kind of warm to me

Like shooting fish in a Home Depot bucket

Yeah, everyone’s 1.5” from the clipper will be long gone

Yeah it’s gone here, completely. 12/14/25-12/17/25. What a winter run

I think we all want snow, but some people like to cover their ears when discussion of the overall pattern is not favorable. we certainly don’t know about individual threats, but generally, we have an idea about the overall pattern structure. And those clues give us an idea of how difficult it will be to achieve winter weather. Reading some of the posts here and some long range “expert” articles, I’m pretty pessimistic on the rest of winter. I think it’s going to be very hostile on the whole, and if you aren’t a snow stake at 3k on stow mountain, I think there’s going to be a lot of outside looking in. This isn’t to say we couldn’t get an event during this period, but you have to do some actual calculating as opposed to dismissing bad outcomes because they are in the extended.

2” of snow that’s already evaporated. Get the party poppers out

Higher odds of me suiting up at fullback on Sunday night for the pats than a below normal January.

Theres only so many ways a turd can be polished

I’d prefer that to the constantly dangling carrot that we can never reach. Like 2011-12 was great because we knew it was awful. And by March, it was full blown spring.

Definitely a grinch within a week of Christmas.

Nobody knows what’s going to happen, that I agree with. But when the models come Out with several cutters, why can’t we just say it? Why do we have to try to explain it away? We can have a discussion about what models actually show, but when we start talking about potential, and what they could show, that’s where I get lost, because that’s not what is currently being advertised. Nobody wants a white Christmas more than me. This is going to be 16 years without one here, this year. Last was 2010

Yeah, I’m not going to argue anymore, but is 100% the truth. There would be posts talking about how it fits the pattern, etc. I mean, let’s just be honest about what’s really happening. People don’t want to discuss the potential negative outcomes, it’s as simple as that.
