It could..we don't know and it is obviously way early in the game, but we have possibly two nice factors on our side. That doesn't necessarily dictate an epic winter at all, but I wouldn't scoff at it either.

You know we're in the doldrums if we are talking about winter '11/'12.

I really like how the descending easterly QBO wave is getting organized. ENSO also looks good with a weak Niña/neutral being favored. The Newfoundland cold pool/Greenland warm pool is holding up well in the North Atlantic. Global temperatures are about as low as 2008. I think everything points to a decent season next year...

I know, looks like I brought some of the ct river valley screw zone back from school.

Just wait till next year ;)

Oh I'm sure. Even in this less then impressive year for you, you still have plenty events that you win out in. 2/25, 3/21, and 4/1 you got around double my total in each of; although they were less significant events then 12/26 and 1/27.

edit: The reason you beat me in those later events is they were more elevation dependent type events. The 12/26 and 1/27 were because the better banding was south of you.

Also, thanks Will. Looks like I measured a bit high.

They could have measured slightly low, they are lowest total around them which is usually rare for that site. They are the only sub-80" measurement around there.

Wow...ASH really does blow....I thought that it was just because you measured low.

I know they are in a valley screw hole, but didn't think it was that bad.

They did get near 100" in '07-'08. I did notice this year that the snow in Megan's area was a bit more impressive than when we would drive up to Nashua...and it was only like a 7 mile difference.

No need to depress yourself by dreading the inevitable down turn after that incredible 15 yr period; I like to leave things open ended......who knows, maybe we are seeing a regime shift due to subtle climate changes...I mean, what "long term" mean are you weighing so heavily, a 100 year sample size...that is crap.

Still a bitter pill to swallow..I had the lead all winter on Will and in the end he takes the prize by 2 inches.

Goes to show..it's a marathon..not a sprint

You were pretty much toast when we went into March and your lead was only 3" or so. Sometimes you get lucky like '05-'06, but usually you want to have a lead of at least 5-6". Too big of a chance at an electrical bath event like Mar 31-Apr 1 this year for you.

I know that, but if he can't rack up an impressive total in that type of year, it's time escort the microwave to the tub.

To me that event didn't bother me at all. It was April ,so even though I got less than what we all thought..it didn't bother me. If it had been mid winter..I would certainly have driven off the Charter Oak Bridge and into the CT River.

If it had been rain..or you had gotten 7 inches and I got nothing that would have been different too..like that MLK storm last winter..That one REALLY bothered me

I probably had no business getting the amount of snow that I got with tracks along and just east of the canal. That just doesn't happen.

Even I should have had some trouble....other season that featured a great deal of huggers also had a large gradient betwn Will and I.

CF was really only an issue for me once all winter...that is ridiculous.

It was a fun winter regardless. My metric for success revolves around frequency of storms and max depth. Although it would have been nice to get an obscene 24" plus storm total.

Tight compact bombs we kept seeing. The thermal gradients were impressive. The snowfall gradient in SE MA will reflect that too.

Yeah...I want the CF to set up near 495 or just a hair east of it. Never happened this winter.

The only storm where the CF was west of me for a significant portion of the event was during 1/11-1/12. I was ripping 33F S+ thanks to cold temps aloft. But that's crazy. Virtually all the more significant events this year had the CF near Weymouth. Even areas just south of the CF rocked...until you got to PYM or so.

104.9" here and I feel exactly the same way. I got hit hard with deform snows from Boxing Day and 1/12 while that AFN-ASH zone got relatively screwed. Then I was able to catch up to and surpass a lot of you guys starting in late Feb beginning with the foot on 2/25.
