Don't even REMIND me of Dec. 25-26, 2002. The first year I really got into weather and started compiling my statistical data for my research. Those were the days I didn't stay up. It was heavy snow on the way home from my grandparents house, Tons on the highway, went to bed immediately when there was 4" of powder, woke up to a wet skylight, and...... 4" still...... except of Glop. Probably hit 5" and then rain rain rain. Still to this day -

The most Disappointing storm of my weather racking life. Mainly because I wasn't aware of the high percentage of changeover.

The Winter of course ended up being My Favorite of all time to this day though.

You are gonna rake there. Hvy hvy generator use.

If it repeats that Feb 2009 bomb, I'll be mainly powdery, as it was a bit closer to the coast - LEW/AUG/Ellsworth - that got 10-15" paste with 100K+ losing power. GFS has been showing mid-upper 20s at 2m during heaviest precip and little/no inversion, so I think our trees survive this one.

Edit, for Jerry: How about the Bridgton/Shawnee Peak area? They're going to get whacked bigtime, and Bridgton's a pretty town plus ski areas usually have some nightl;ife (especially since Shawnee has night skiing.)

CT river valley doing its dirty work keeping the due north wind component and draining those cold dews south...This is gonna be my first true marginal event out of sw CT so I am interested to see how it plays out. Any snow I do see will almost certainly be a bonus from if I were down in Central NJ near the coast.

Where are you?

I think that drainage will surprise you.

Not sure how that works for my area in sw CT, but I know all too well the 30-33 -zr/-dz north wind obs at HFD/BDL about 12 hrs after you expected them to change over and torch..Should be quite the battle with how much of a northerly component we see versus the prevailing easterly fetch here in this one...i'm only a mile north of 95 so it should be close

Box getting some religion:

MADE MINOR CHANGES TO THE FORECAST PACKAGE TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT

TRENDS. LEANED MORE TOWARDS THE GFS AS THE NAM SEEMS TO INITIALIZE POORLY.

WITH THE COLDER SOLUTION IN PLACE SNOW TOTALS HAVE INCREASED

SOMEWHAT AND LOOKING AT EXPANDING HEADLINES.

now 4-6 in andover so moving in right direction.

Snow sky now, just noticed some good very low level scuds cruising in from the northeast, would not be surprised to see some weenie snows down here before the main band gets in.
