Give up on an encore


Typhoon Tip

Recommended Posts

Yes, 09-10/10-11 is the best two winters in a row I've ever witnessed here....68" last year, 66" this year, 5 events over a foot in two winters. We suffered with only 20" or so in 07-08 but 08-09 wasn't bad with 45"...

It's been different, for sure. That's 5 more 12"+ events than IMBY during that time. Last time Farmington had two consecutive winters w/o a one-footer was 96-97 and 97-98. They had a 10" storm each of those winters, but had none last winter and a 10.0" event Feb. 2-3 of this year. (MBY hasn't topped 8.9" this winter, but had 10.7" in Feb 2010, albeit over 4 days and nearly 4" total qpf.)

However, along with my whining, I could see 19" of solid snowpack this morning, so the latitude is still worth something.

Skiing should be quite good! I bet it's more white than wet up there.

That's usually a good bet in the NNE mountains. Skiing in northern VT has been exceptional pretty much all year long, but particularly in the past month or two. Spring skiing season should be epic with the snowpack these mountains are rocking. There is just so much snow, trail signs are barely poking out of the snow in areas.

Even after the ski areas close, we will be earning our turns into May me thinks. I probably will be able to take pics of snow for another two months with a 92" natural snow glacier on the upper mountain. 92" of rock hard snow doesn't melt very quickly. Areas with snowmaking have a lot more than that... some of these piles won't melt until June.

The extended operational Euro is a model run for some planet in the T-2 tentary binary star system compared to the GFS

Its been continuously ramping up the blocking near Hudson Bay for like 4 runs in a row. So its trying to off set the brutal WC trough a bit more. Blocking in that close proximity would be on the few ways to offset the brutal PAC. As noted yesterday, we had a little window to maybe "sneak" something in if the blocking up there was actually real....its looking like a little bit more of a possibility. But I still am not going to hold my breath.

I noticed the GFS ensembles are onto that as well, beyond Day 7. Check out the height fields up there and then the surface progs.

gotta love these days when it looks like its warm...but the only thing warm is the inside of the car.

hopefully someone sees a half inch of rain tomorrow. that should really makes things interesting. LOL. :arrowhead:

I had do to a few errands, but it was one of those frustrating days where it got too warm inside the car with the windows up, however you could only crack them down just a bit before it got too cold. arrowheadsmiley.png

At least it was sunny, and not fog.

It's a mild day here, but a brisk feel when not in the full sunlight. 41F right now....so a 27 degree rise off the low temperature.

better than what's going on right now that's for certain.

Well if that Hudson block is actually for real, then we'll have some chances, but it has to be there...otherwise these will be tracking up Harry's fanny in Michigan.

LOL that storm might bring out 2010 Ray.

Congrats Nate.

What happens verbatim that's congrats to me?

Yeah the block needs to form really close in over Hudson Bay to force storms south of us with that brutal west coast trough. I am wondering how far the initial block in western Canada will actually drift compared to what the 12z runs show as it forms a more classic NAO.
