powderfreak Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 He could be sitting in the crosshairs of a golden shovel jackpot and would still be negative LOL I don't look at it as negative but more objective analysis of what could go wrong. Its not the worst approach, though it irks some snow lovers who want to enjoy the orgy of a storm, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Winter ends in 30 days. C+ winter so far and that is okay. 40" by Feb 1st is average, if that? Averaging 75". The cold has been fairly remarkable. C+..I agree, but almost ready to drop to C. I think its about to get good again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a discussion of paste bombs instead of fluff bombs and what is preferred, The pattern going forward looks to favor paste with these next couple potential systems anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I will take the mash potatoes any day over the high fluff bombs, At least the next system looks to deliver just that, Climo really starts to become a factor here on out I like the fluff bombs for skiing... nothing better than snow washing over your head as you dive into 2 feet of champagne powder. And honestly, I'm in no position right now to be picky about snow type, lol. I'll take anything that wants to come out of the sky. In a perfect world, the synoptic storms would be dense snow, and then we'd have a bunch of currier and ives meso-scale snow and clippers in between. If you already have snow, there's something really relaxing about a steady light snow all day and 3-5" of fluff. Picturesque stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yeah go back and read some of the threads from January last winter and then get back to us, haha. Prior to the Feb blizz, you had the rope tied to the Tobin, getting ready to slip off into a deep sleep That's not even a good comparison...that is light years different than this year. It's just something I noticed. I understand NNE's frustration...I am referring to ern MA interior folks. There has been a lot of frustration from missing that one storm, but you'd think the whole winter screwed them. Again..the folks out by CEF and up in NNE are a different story.

CoastalWx Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Scott, I'm just having some fun. Like you are when you mention that you see more CJs ahead. I'm over it and looking ahead, but nothing wrong with having some laughs. You've been a bit more defensive of late. I am having fun too...but I honestly don't understand the frustration some have. That's the truth. I know you haven't looked at a model...but you should look ahead. I've liked this period coming up for a long time. Deep down I think this is N of I-90 favored...but this should be a fun time as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. We still need some fluff for lubrication, That's the big difference from this year and last year, We had a lot of fluff bombs blizzard included that got wiped out by cutters and we retained no snow pack whatsoever, So we were ahead on snow at this time last year then now, The difference this year, Is we had a couple paste bombs then followed up by a couple icing events and a couple fluff bombs, Then we had 3 cutters and just 1 nickel dime event and a couple trace storms since Jan 3rd, But i still have a 9" snow pack, Not enough to ride on, But 1 storm of even 3-6" and its back to game on, The base is concrete and has been bullet proof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh I thought you said western Mass earlier...TBH I didn't know it was so bad relative to the rest of SNE out by Ryan's area north up the CT Valley until I read some of the totals so far near like codfish and that area.

A lot of people forget the Cape got porked a bit in 2010-2011. Messenger and points east had a lot of rain while it was pounding snow 10 miles to the NW. Climo always wins. This is why Tolland doesn't always jackpot in every storm, nor the Cape always get rain and 20" of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
