What is really cool is how linear that cutoff line is. we watched the radar which was non linear but man.. I enhanced the pic, wow on the Hunch Back screw job though, possibly feet away, lol

Look at the northeast tip of that snow stirpe....that is Wachusett Reservoir in West Boylston. Even bigger screwjob for our friend Chocksett Chief in Sterling. Prob went from like 5" or 6" to 2" within 3 miles. The southwest side of the reservoir has snow and the northeast side looks lacking a bit.

We had a large event in late January I believe which flipped the pattern back to cold (you might recall it was actually pretty warm in late December and early January after the Dec '92 bomb). Feb 1993 was a lot of advisory type events and a very very cold month (like -6 or -7 departure or something)...I think we had a 6" storm in there too but nothing huge except if you were on the Cape or far SE MA which got the Feb 19, 1993 norlun event. CHH got like 20" in that. A nice system for them since they were on the wrong side of the gradient most of the rest of that winter.

Then March '93 had a parade of storms. March 4-5, 1993 had a very big storm which gave BOS-ORH and northward a lot of snow (about 9-15"). further south was rain or sleet. Then a smaller event on March 8th. Then the Superstorm. But we still weren;t done with 2 more systems including a busted surprise 8" for Boston on 3/24/93.

Yeah its coming back to me now, I remember taking pictures of a house I was appraising in Wilbraham and the snow was up to my waist, deepest snow cover I can remember.

The detail in the 250M pic is stunning, check out the turbulence around Boston Harbor Cape Cod waters, snow to the coast in Jersey, you can see the breaches in LI, Jersey coast. First time I have looked at high res Modis since Sandy and just stunning changes. I have seen the close up aerials but to see it as one picture with snow cover is amazing. I downloaded and saved this one.

Looks like Pete does have snow cover, hi res version here for the rest of the pic, great shot by the way

http://ge.ssec.wisc....resolution=250m

From that pic, his site in 2k def has snow cover...in the southern Berks. Looks nearly gone though once you are out of the southern Berkshries except a thin stripe still intact on the spine.

The TOL-ORH band shows up amazing on that satellite image though.
