ORH_wxman Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 MBY How do we know what the all time record low in your backyard is though...if you are basing 19.9" off Reading, shouldn't we use them? I guess it doesn't matter too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsnowstorm628 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thank you...standby for a slew of smug stats. IMO even here in vt I'm ready for a big azz blizzard or gtfo with this 4" otg crap. It's miserable. After this season of only 50" nickel and dime crap here where we avg 94", give me big snow or give me summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The sad thing of it is ..if we just had a decent negative NAO ....maybe one of those s/w's on the GFS would be a snowstorm. Haha...suppression city followed by 3 cutters in the LR. What a joke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Very well....use Reading. As long as they aren't missing any data, we'll use them. They did miss a couple snow events in the past 3 years. Most notably in 2008-2009 I think. But they are generally extremely reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 But if you're at 50" now...then your pace isn't going to fall too far from that 94" normal. After all plenty of snow falls from Feb. 15th to April 30th in northeast VT. IMO even here in vt I'm ready for a big azz blizzard or gtfo with this 4" otg crap. It's miserable.

Unless we see a big synoptic event like last march, I doubt we see 75". Makes up for the killer yr we had last year with 160" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKpowdah Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 This weekend's "storm" is not going to happen. Leave it be. AFTER that storm, and AFTER the cold shot, things get interesting. A lot of energy is going to be moving into North America by next week, driven significantly by the MJO wave I'm guessing. The pattern over eastern North America and the Atlantic is clearly unstable at that time. Not really sure which way it's going, but it means that the long wave pattern breaks down, and the flow across the continent weakens, perturbing more readily. Snow or no snow, we're heading into a stormier period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctsnowstorm628 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I like you more and more. Just recently I've really come to realize that it's a sheet yr for snow everywhere in NE and I'm ready to move on. Besides, I'm in fort myers 2/19-2/27 so when I'm back it's almost spring.

Probably your best event on this board...obviously Jan 12 last year was more prolific, but that Dec 21, 2008 event was a really localized band of 12" that smoked your area up into Essex county and Rockingham county NH. In terms of a jackpot storm that dropped a foot or more, def the best event there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The Jan 12 event not only saw more in other spots, but it was a powdery 20"+.....wet is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 My first year on the boards (ne.weather) was 1994-95 ....incidentally a very poor winter ...except one snowstorm in the interior in Feb. It was my 2nd month on the boards....I didn't even know what ENSO stood for yet. Obviously it's a poor bet to make....I'm not stupid, but if any year could do it, this is it. I'll bet you a beer.

ORH_wxman Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'll be honest with you, that event and Dec 16, 2007 are my favorite events on this board. I really liked 12/16/07...def my top 3 events on this board...the other two are 12/9/05 and 12/12/08 ice storm. 1/12/11, 10/29/11, and 1/27/11 are up there but i don't think they make the top 3 for me in terms of excitement...the October storm should, but for some reason being up for the 12/16/07 bust as it was happening was more fun for me. As a side note, when I pulled up Reading coop data just now...they got absolutely smoked in the Dec 2003 storm. You really got a screw job in that one when Reading just to your ESE got destroyed.

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 We need another wet, heavy, sloppy event like Dec 1992, March 2001 or April 1997....I'd go nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

March '01 was pretty much powder in the interior, but I know in your area it was more of a paste job. There was actually a good CF at about 900mb in that event, not so much at the sfc...kind of weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Who knows if it will happen this winter...but at some point, climo is going to pay us back big time in the month of March after our recent string of terrible Marches. We finally got paid back in the negative direction this year for our obscene string of prolific Decembers recently....March will be coming at some point. I do miss some of those monster big March bombs we saw in the 1990s and early 2000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 True that. Reading averages a 20" March about once every 5 years in its record...but they have just 1 in the last 11 years and that was 2005...and they barely made it at 20.6"...definitely overdue for a big March.

I do miss some of those monster big March bombs we saw in the 1990s and early 2000s. I see a big March coming for the midwest/lakes/northeast. No, its not the same as a big January being locked in with cold/snowcover, but Im sure for many it will be the best time of this winter season. During an outstanding run of winters in recent years, we have had (outside of 2008) uneventful Marches. I just said yesterday in one of our threads, if there are two things that climo karma dictates that Detroit is due for, its a low-snowfall DJF and a snowy March. And the same could be applied to NE. While not as below normal as some, we are certainly seeing a crappy DJF so far..lets see if Mar follows suit. Plus short-term memory is applied to many snowlovers, those who dont look at decades of climate data may not realize just how wintry March can be in the north. Im not sure about ORH, but I can tell you that chances of a snowy March or big March snowstorm skyrocket at DTW after a very mild winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 No question it's been awhile since we had a big March region-wide in the Northeast. Last year we did get a foot of snow in early March here in Upstate NY, but SNE got mostly rain I think. I see a big March coming for the midwest/lakes/northeast.
