not so sure about the 79-80 claim. according to co-op data from bedford (closest to where i reside):

nov 79=0

dec 79= 2.7

jan 80 (up to 1/10): 0 (0.8 for entire month)

so far this year, id say the oct storm gave us about 4". plus maybe 0.2 today. 4.2 > 2.7

I'm not in Bedford. BOS was much higher in 79-80 and we didn't get much in October. Thankfully I didn't experience that winter as I was in LA but I suffered 1994-95, 2001-02, 2006-07, and this. And #2 for tutility in 1972-73...yep...I was here.

ah ok. i wasnt here in 79-80 either. i was in virginia and only two years old. having spent most of my life in the south, im used to nearly snowless winters. :)

Hopefully this will give you more than 0.4" between Thursday and Friday

All the discussion yesterday morning about how this was the first storm that actually looked like it had room to trend colder and deliver snow to much of interior SNE. And the net result is basically the same as it's been bookended by some ice on front and back..

Those of us not plagued by IMBYism and multiple personality disorder can recognize that this storm has very much trended colder - classic CAD shown on the 12Z NAM ... as we get closer to the event. That essentially hasn't occurred this winter.

Won't snow a flake where I am, but it is still fun to have a winter storm to track!

My gut def says dendrite to SW ME is the jackpot in this coming storm. But I think icing might be a significant issue in the ORH hills here after some front end snow. We'll have to wait and see. The modeling this winter has been pretty bad, so I have less confidence than usual. Even pattern recognition here is a bit iffy...we have things arguing for a colder solution with the great high location and CAD, but the putrid antecedent air mass before the storm offsets that a bit.

Somebody as modeled could have decent icing in nrn CT and srn Berks into ORH county. But the risk is that it could still bump north.

I know we've mentioned it before, but that is where that slightly elevated CAD signature comes into play. The coldest air is actually residing at 1000-1500 ft, and hangs onto it the longest. So even if the boundary layer climbs above freezing, you can still see a decent ice event at elevation.

I see Arnold browsing. Looks like GYX added the dreaded IP with the snow into the point-click. I wouldn't be shocked if it happened.

I think even the colder guidance verbatim right now still shows a period of IP for the interior coastal plain. I'm about to dive in and look a little closer at soundings, cross sections, etc., but the usual east of 1P1 to IZG to WVL look like the place to be.

Just a few days ago, most thought this would be a cutter shuffling off to Buffalo...

Agree, Fri looks sweet. Long term has flip flopped daily, I give up on that.
