I think the over/under for rev kev hanging from the rafters will be next weekend or more likely perhaps a few days after esp shoud the cold front be pushed off longer.

the good rev only goes 100% . it's either all snow or all torch....and he's mentally prepared now to be going all snow next weekend or def. early next week. should the euro weeklies come to fruition the good rev will be going to desperate lengths to preserve his sanity and snow banks . i wouldn't be shocked should he hose them down and put them out of there misery because he prob. couldn't take the slow torture of seeing them wither away should another torch manifest itself in the forecast for late february.

we saw a glimpse into this behavior with the snow pack retention 0/U thread the panic is just below the surface.

What a huge epic fail if we get yet another dud of a March. Haven't had anything good since 2007.

4 years in a row with an early end would be pretty crazy.

i was thinking the same thing today. if winter really has ended, will this winter be looked at as an epic winter?

Looks like Donny S agrees with the uncertainty in the blocking too.

Euro ensembles aren't all that different from last night. We walk the line with a gradient pattern in then see where this takes us into March.

Time to shift the focus from massive depth to massive seasonal total; what is good about that pattern is that I'll have just about the best opportunity to further build upon mine of anyone else in the region (Sne).

I'm feeling we have a good March - I think the rubber band will snap back.

If not it will be depressing for many because all of our big snows came within a month or so. To have a slow start to winter and then a slow painful finish after being spoiled will be a bit of a let down.

Again, I'm of the opinion a fun pattern bounces back into NE but it's tough to waste the heart of February. The winter becomes more of a N. of the Pike type affair with every passing week. I'll enjoy what's on the ground and assume I have agood chunk left come this time next week.

[/quoteI haven't posted much of late, but you'd be kidding yourself if thought I haven't been pndering this myself; the anser for me is no.....it would be a good winter with an epic stretch, but I don't think that we see another dud of a March.....it prob won't be epic like I though since Jan was, but it should be decent.

i would argue that mike would have a much better opporutnity. BL issues as well as march's strong sun angle will make accumulations during the day diffiucult in general for the CP compared to the deep elevated interior. probably chris to in greenfield with a tad better elevation. and dave may as well in hubbardson but that is more debatable IMO. as far as those on the cp go yes ....or those elevated even around the pike ....most likely. cept for pete's 2k site in beckett, ma.

I said "just about" anyone......and if you follow my musings, I don't consider that area sne, anyway.....their climo is more representative of s VT, than it is sne.

BL issues aren't really a prob until the 3rd week of March, anyway...plenty of time.

Again, we don't need to pick out EVERY single poster......what I meant was that I'll be better off than the vast majority and that is indeed the case.

Ask Will to take out his 2007-08 and 2008-09 snowfall maps and have a gander at how my region fared relative to the majority of the region....nuff said.

I haven't lost any snow cover yet here. Never had as much as you guys, but still holding at my peak level. About 21 inches in the non wind blown areas.

We had a great squall line here today. I have never seen snow that heavy in years. For 10 minutes I was in a blizzzard. LOL About an inch fell.

Interesting that the UK is bracing for another winter blast as we look toward some warming. Same thing was going on in early December.

Latitude starts to become important by mid Feb. not only for smaller snow events but also for tempered warming during "torch" periods.

I actually won't consider a few days in the 40's a torch since we generally expect one or two even in a good winter. The northern Valley tends to hold clouds in these episodes so I'm not really worked up about devastating snow loss and the such. I enjoy a mild winter day.

If we are lucky we freeze up Wednesday night (likely) and Thursday night also which mitigates it. It's only Friday night that could get kinda nasty before the Fropa. Around here and probably in GC - Saturday will be much colder as the cold comes in fast.

I think late Feb will start that... even 10 days or so...

Hope everyone enjoyed winter because it's over according to Pickles via FB.

Perhaps that has the same veracity of him lowering Boston's snow total to 25 about a week before we had a run of 70 inches in 5 weeks. No disrespect intended Christian...I just think you react too fast with these calls.
