dryslot Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 It's about as good a setup as I've seen. PJ and STJ look like they want to phase. 50/50 low in place. Ridging up in Greenland. This is the time frame we are keying in on for a storm. But hey, what do I know. Just doing a little venting today, The next 2 weeks does look pretty good, Will it produce or not, Time will tell, But we are not far away from starting to go the other way so the hour glass is half way from empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 When the guys getting snow are melting down you know it's an awful winter. It is an awful winter Jerry, The problem has been when we get it, We are not retaining it so my feelings are i would rather not have it at all i have no use for bare ground heading into Februray, If was not for the last couple of storms i might as well be in boston, But my 5" snowpack is still useless for my purposes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorcycles out cruising again, hot chicks in spandex walking their dogs at the park today convinced me to give it up. Hair is gone, goatee is gone.

NorEastermass128 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 18z GFS offers a new possibility and it remains very progressive with regards to storm 2. It now has it cutting from KC to LOU to RIC. Maybe snows into the northern MA (Congrats Baltimore?) I don't think we've seen the final solution on that one yet. I like the more progressive nature that this 18z showed...It wouldn't take much for that thing to bend north. Maybe we can salvage a moderate event out of it when all is said and done come SB SUN-MON. Maybe I'm being too much of an optimist and should just give up on this threat.

dryslot Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 NO!!!! lol, I don't want to see another october snow in my lifetime, Not suppose to be related with what happens the rest of the winter but look back at the last time we had big october snow what the outcome on the rest of the winter was..

OKpowdah Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I still think the October KU salvages the winter. An extremely anomalous event like that ...once in a lifetime experience. We'll see what happens. Maybe we get a shot in March or early April. Otherwise, as has been my message for over a month now: BRING ON SPRING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston and within 20 miles had minimal to pedestrian. BDL did well with their slant stick and all but far southern NE also got very little. So it was not worth it and I remain convinced that there is a correlation between October snows and dead ratter winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only use Boston, it "works", but there's only been 4 measurable snowfalls in October since 1950 at BOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Yes...but it's here so let's just chalk this one up and understand the odds are much better next year. I posted in June that we had never gone so many years in a row AOA normal for snow without a dud. Statistics ftw. This. Mother Nature loves her averages. The fact is the past 12 years have averaged a decent amount over the 50-100 year climo at a lot of the New England climo sites. That can't sustain itself. We may be due for duds 3 out of the next 5 years to move closer to long term climo...who knows? But last year was historic in a good way so this year historic in a bad way. not sure I agree the odds are for a great year next season but likely better than this. Pretty rough for everyone this season relative to their climate norms but October skews it a bit in some areas. Pete could easily still get 80"+ this season as he's over 50 right now. All I know is I'm glad I grew up in the Banana Valley south of Albany in the 90's because even a below normal winter up here seems very snowy relative to that...its all about perception.

Damage In Tolland Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I was right in the middle of the October dream storm and it by no means makes this winter salvageable . It was in the middle of autumn and IMO shouldn't be counted in seasonal totals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only use Boston, it "works", but there's only been 4 measurable snowfalls in October since 1950 at BOS. I think it works for Boston and not ORH simply because it's far more common at ORH and not necessarily indicative of a killer pattern that could never last into winter while on the cp it's a different story. Who knows? 4 is a small sample size but the evidence seems compelling even if anecdotal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That storm will possibly skew what this WINTER was really like when people look back at totals years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
