powderfreak Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Yeah winter has been the worst of all of our lives hands down. I will recall this as the worst ever Will this be the lowest snowfall season you've ever lived through? You still have 2 full months left though.

OKpowdah Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 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 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 1979-80 and 1988-89 were really poor winters. One good sized 12" or so snowstorm is all it takes to beat those abysmal years. Will this be the lowest snowfall season you've ever lived through? You still have 2 full months left though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 LOL maybe that's why we've done alright since mid December...we only had a coating in October. Could be, I have nickel and dimed it to 42", But we have virtually no snow pack so its a moot point as far as i am concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 This is one of my favorite winters. Green grass, flowering bushes...wide open clean roads.....

ChrisM Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Violently agree, which leaves most people around 10-20% of there seasonal snowfall to date. That storm will possibly skew what this WINTER was really like when people look back at totals years from now. That one storm brought me like 1/3rd of my average seasonal snowfall lol. I got 22". wtf. I'd guess my home location is around 30" for the year so far this year. Ick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 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. psssstt.... 1979...lol Actually, in the local Walmart parking lot (Gardner), some of the October snow remains under some of the more recent stuff. Maybe not, but it was there right before Jan 12, and now there is a big pile on top of the small, older pile. Skiing tonight was A+ Some of the best this year somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorEastermass128 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hmmm...00z NAM doesn't look terrible. Still a little bit of confluence over our area with the low approaching from the lower OH Valley. Maybe a quasi-SWFE evolving post 84hr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Haha small typo on my part One of the points I have been harping on is the Convective feedback of the MJO that will help enhance the subtropical ridging in the Central pacific. You can see here that the 250 hPa temperature anomalies are +3-4 sigma thanks to the blossoming convection of the MJO, which is completely overwhelming the La Nina signal which would normally produce cooler than normal temperature anomalies aloft in the central and eastern Pacific due to suppressed convection. The La Nina signal was present most of January (as evidence in the 1-17-12 GFS analysis image which shows widespread -1.0 sigma temperature anomalies seen above) when the MJO was diffuse and weak, but now that its kicking up and getting into phase 7, it will help to pump the subtropical ridge over the Central Pacific, which will in turn tighten up the polar jet b/w 30-40N across the central Pacific. As the MJO progresses, so to will this jet streak, and so to will the left exit region of the jet, which will enhance storminess across the east Pacific due to increased upper level divergence. A shift in the development region of mid-latitude cyclones will also shift the trough/ridge configuration that we have seen for a large portion of the season. Where a mid-latitude cyclone develops, there must be a downstream response of ridging in order to support baroclinic development. This ridging will now occur across the west coast of North America which should support a +PNA due to this enhanced ridging. This is why generally MJO's that enter phase 8 and beyond typically lead to a cold signal in the eastern united states, because of the tropical signal forcing a shift in the development region of mid-latitude cyclones. That is also why the GFS and its ensembles have been supporting PNA ridging starting in the 5-7 day range. toss anything the euro sends out past 5 days this year....11-15 day ens disasters really don't bother me lets keep the MJO amplitute strong into phase 8 ...

Chalk off another week to boring. Brings us to Feb 10. IDK pickles Euro ENS do a swan dive in P8 into the circle of death MJO wise. Could be signaling an epic continuation of crap winter with transient cold blah un phased sh it storms. Leery, wary and weary describes my feelings.

I gave up this morning, put in the triple a guys, sure we score some runs but it's a blow out. Save the starters for next season. Winter is in Maine, will go to it. Oh well.
