:lmao:

The rant was funny but its funnier that its true.

He can cherry pick the posts all he wants, but I think many of us said that this next storm was not going to be huge and that next week offers a warmer solution. Of course there will be weenie posts, but claiming winter is over is foolish...even if I don't see another flake..I'd never say that. Climo is another 18-20" or so from Feb 1st, on. If you only get "climo" and think winter is over because you don't expect 60" additional, well sorry for you. I don't see overwhelming evidence that the pattern sux, and to me it looks active. Of course not every low will be snow.

Tuned my skis yesterday and re-glued my skins. Headed out soon.

Nice. We've gone from months of luscious powder skiing to combat skiing. One thing about growing up skiing New England you quickly acquire adaptive ski techniques. I'll welcome anymore snow that falls. Dust on crust is better than plain crust.lol Picked up a little yesterday, hoping for a little more tonight/tomorrow. I really get a kick out of guys like BenchmarkBoy that cancel Winter in February, the beginning of February nonetheless.Wow.lol

That PV is really messing around with things, like we talked about yesterday. It's just not the classic swfe with that thing there. I definitely didn't expect a shift south from yesterday, but it could be true. We'll still have a pretty decent shield of waa snow, so that needs to be watched. Lets see what the 12z runs do. WAA snows sometimes are more widespread, but storms that move out to the ese always screw eastern and northeast mass. That's what I don't want to see.

Monday Morning Snow

Posted on February 20, 2011 by ryanhanrahan| Leave a comment Not a big snowstorm but enough to remind us that it’s still winter. Overnight our computer models cut back on their precipitation forecast a bit but there are still several signals showing a couple inches of snow.

I’m expecting 3″-5″ of snow statewide with the heaviest occurring during the Monday morning commute. Strong warm advection with a tight thermal gradient along with good dendritic growth and a deep, saturated column may deliver snow to liquid ratios in excess of the typical 10:1.

[wow hpc does not give us any love for four inches...looked so snowy last night...well maybe it wont get sheared out as much as forecasted...we certainly have pleny of cold air in place.

Yeah...and to think..I was crucified three days ago for talking about how the next 10 days would pan out because I did not cite any evidence. The evidence is about to present itself. Like I said days ago...

1. this first piece of energy would weaken considerably and get sheard to the point that its totals form the midwest would be halved at least. I said this first event would bring 1-2 inches.

2. Everybody was on here claming how we need to give the second piece of energy time to come north because "that has been the trend" well...that storm will bring snow about as far north as Cape Map NJ...guess that stayed soulth like I said as well.

3. I then went on to talk about the lat week major warm up with a drenching lakes cutter and I was called "stupid" and told that "my time allowed to participate on this forum would be short" Well, late week looks like it get to near 50 in some places with 18 hours of rain and two days of well above normal temps.

As I have said...on this board, withough a meteorology degree, you will get crucified for predicing anything but "big winter" . but if you call for heavy snow and cold...do not worry...no evidence or weather background necessary...just say it over and over and slap a few emoticons on there and you will be fine...may not come true...as it will be seen this week..but you will never b e called "stupid" or a "troll." I am going to see how I fare on these three events and then take it from there.

i think this is the biggest weakness on a otherwise great board. It especially keeps new people from wanting to post. we can sugarcoat it ...but it's true.

regarding your 1-2 inch call.... i wouldn't count my chicken's before they hatch...tommorrow's event isn't a done deal regardless of what hpc forecasts

also and on a separate note i do have to hand it to the rev for being so consistent with both his running this winter and his delusion into thinking his forecasts are consistently accurate

it's still windy and cold as hell out there....

I'll say this, outside of the usual upslope areas in VT it has not been a spectacular winter for NNE ski areas.

The cross country and downhill skiing around here has been much better than a lot of NH and Maine.

Yeah.

Agree.

We'll probably a bump back north with 18 and 00z guidance for you folks up north and east who are getting screwed to some degree. Again for MPM ..don't pay attn to qpf..look at bigger picture

Thanks, Kev. I just don't see this--no dynamics to help things along.

My big picture is hoping that a miracle can happen wiht the second wave and that the late week event can come SE.

Having that meat grinder sitting to our north was always a bit of a concern to me...probably saves me from a changeover but its going to serve as a dynamics killer too.

Who knows though...can't say that guidance hasn't done sudden shifts this season. Lol.

Yeah that was preventing me from thinking a classic swfe shift north, but I did think it would lift north just a little. Who knows though. Probably a nice event for CT anyways. I just don't like situations where the precip shield has that wnw-ese look to it.
