Pattern change on our doorstep - will it deliver the goods? General Discussion/ banter

[CoastalWx]

Sort of. There's those that look for things that could go wrong, and place more emphasis on that and others who look for the good in things and are generally happy

Or approach it with a lack of weenieism...same thing.

South and west of EMA? sorry, I am halfway to climo Jan 17th, 75% of my climo snow comes from Jan 15th on, looking good. 

 

WINDEX event in progress up here... under 1/4sm visibility +SN with arctic front.  Squall line is regenerating... dumping.  We'll pick up more in 90 minutes here than we did all day yesterday.

 

 

 

Ginxy special... very low visibility in half-dollar dendrites now with high winds.

It reeks of suppression in the next 7-8 days until the PV lifts out.

i know you were saying you were not enthused about yesterday on Sunday but sometimes these things pop. Keep the cold over in Eastern Canada and I like our chances. People were touting the 22nd as the period, probably like the too quick to change models that period is more like the 25-28th for a major storm. but before that with that cold around, never discount impulses flying around, maybe a clipper, maybe a Miller B, certainly at the least squalls from dying LES.Possibly snow is in the air tomorrow, maybe Sunday again with the second Arctic impulse.

Normal and abnormal.Sort of. There's those that look for things that could go wrong, and place more emphasis on that and others who look for the good in things and are generally happy

I think there are people who are even keeled and then people who are bipolar

SWEEEET,

WINDEX event in VT. Not boring.

[40/70 Benchmark]

I'm ready for higher sun angles, longer days, and baseball....however, should we happen to grab a KU or 3 at convenient times, then I'd be all for it.

lol... hey its something.  I gotta grab it while I can cause the next 7-10 days looks on the slow side as far as excitement goes.

 

ASOS at 1/4sm and gusting over 30. 

 

Release the arctic hounds.

IMBYism. Are your 6 weeks up yet? maybe that is the problem lol

[Baroclinic Zone]

This winter blows.

 

Thus far I'd grade it a C-.

Bustin balls.

The point I have made in all of my posts is that the pattern looks decent for snow chances over the next 2 weeks..however I see some possible reasons not be on the epic train. I've said that for days and feel pretty good. This doesn't look epic to me.

Agree.

LOL me too,  its better than last year thats all that really matters, said at the beginning of the year I expected climo snow, any luck I will go over. When this much cold is setting in our neck of the woods for a while, based on my experience, good things happen and winter is extended. When Eastern Canada is torched for a month, well you get last March.

I am above climo, had an awesome 11 inch storm, had solid cover for two weeks, back to cover, so b-, only because of the warmth. FYI This winter blows was Scooters line Tues when he thought he was going to get snuffed on Wednesdays snow .

Sometimes those who use winter for sport and those who do not have different objectives for their winter.

That's right you did get that 11" in one system.  I think I'd have to go back to Jan 2011 when I last saw an event that big.

[Damage In Tolland]

B+ for me so far with 35 inches of snow and a snowy Nov and late Dec. only thing not making it an A was the first 3 weeks of Dec blew and losing snowcover on Monday

Yeah, you send tweets out about how blizzard option is on the table.

They think because we have had a sh*tty winter that somehow it clouds our judgement. I've mentioned flags for days....it never had an epic look to me and may feature a lousy few days after next week...but it offers some chances I think.

Yeah, you should have zero complaints,  Your ahead of Will and Ray in the snow title.

[ChrisM]

Just the opposite.

I've had a lot go on over the course of the past several months, and my priorities have changed.....I'm all for watching a big one unfold, if I do not have to commute in it.

are you pregnant?

I think there are people who are even keeled and then people who are bipolar

Don't forget the heavily medicated and armchair shrinks.

I'd give this winter a C so far. We had ice for four days and we will have some cold.

[ScituateWX]

D- here it is what it is, go just inland and its been a different story!  It is a love hate with the ocean

Haha touché.

I lump you with the bipolar.

[ChrisM]

This winter's a C+ so far I guess.  Maybe a B- because we've had constant snowcover since the pre Christmas storm...but this part of CT should have more than 27" of snow by now.  We're just a little over a third of the way to climo.

I was never too enthusiastic about the 22nd but I think later in the week something pops...
