On the plus side, it looks like some of our NNE and many of our ski-resort friends will get the synoptic plastering they need to replace the current granular nastiness

EDIT - woohoo some back end pity snow at Hr 72 after 1.5" of rain! Snowman.gif

I wonder if that's snow or if the BL is already shot to hell.

Truth is its been slowly eroding every day by the sun even when its below 32, its was going to be lost pretty quickly with or without rain anyways.

It's amazing what the late-February sun can do: I had 8" of snow the other night, and there's already bare spots showing on south-facing lawns adjacent to streets. The high was like 30F today with a low of 13F.

I'm glad we had our best stretch of winter 12/26-2/2 when it could stay on the ground; this time of year is just depressing as the gradually rising sun angle melts everything faster than it fell.

Just on the front end or prolonged icing event?

It could be prolonged if we got the sfc reflection tracking over SE MA...there's always issues though when the airmass is marginal without a source to replenish it readily availble as the sfc low approaches.

Usually marginal ice events are tough to forecast and not well seen by models until inside of 36h. It could end up as a 34F rain.

You are so right sir...we could not have placed our snowiest six weeks any better if we tried. There is really only about 6 weeks in the northern mid-atlantic/sne when an area could conceivably build a snowpack and that is right between Xmas and very ealry Feb. That is why I have never really been a fan of Feb as a snow month...the snow melts with temps in the mid 20's. I remember the presidents storm of 2003 in Nj...we has 31 inches...the next two days were in the upper 20's and 60%of the snow melted anyway! Sad time of year...you hope for snow...but you know that even if it comes anything under 10 inches will be gone within a day or two.

I'm serious. When I first joined over at Eastern I would explore the different region's threads and was always happy to be a New Englander when I would see what a sh*t show the other threads were.Winter cancel in November, constant pessimism about getting the rain shaft for every storm, all hallmarks of the MA threads but not NE. Now, like a blight, it infiltrates our once noble threads. I spit with contempt for these faux snow lovers.

:weenie:
