I wouldn't sweat the clipper grinding to a pulp yet either. Sometimes you can call the bluff on the GFS, but I have no idea what bias it has.

 

 

To expand....I wouldn't sweat a single storm system yet...even the clipper is 7 days out.

 

Anyone who gets hopes up for a system that far out and then melts down if it disappears can blame only themselves for being a sucker.

 

The clipper is the first semi-interesting system out of the late January pattern...but it also has the most uphill battle I'd think.

Well we are sweating anafrontal systems now 4 days out..lol. Agree though, good medicine to take.

Damn, why does this always happen to us on the Outer Cape?  Its not fair.  We have had one winter where we received no snow and that was 97-98 in my life, this is a close second.  I hate rain, I think its the most useless thing ever in the winter time, where the grass does not benefit from it at all, so what's the point.  Anyways, radar picking up precipitation developing over Nantucket and moving NNW.  Inverted trough looks more west based on the precipitation developing and where its moving.

Being surrounded by 10000000s of cubic miles of warm water will do that to an area

There is a decent chance, that what this winter is remembered for, is alot of Cold(impressive Cold), with NO Snow.  Wouldn't be a surprise at this point.  Sure hope that doesn't become the legacy that we look back on Come April  :cry:

 

Ignore Dec 2003 and that describes 11 yr ago - still my driest (and coldest) January here, though only 3rd least snowy thanks to '13 and '14.

I don't think that was a cold winter. You might be thinking of 1980-1981

Oh, yeah. Christmas 1980...so 1980-1981.  Was it a low snow winter (I seem to remember it like that, but I could be blending the 2)

 

 

edit : 22.3" in 1980-1981   Cold and pretty snowless, but not the worst.  2 back to back dreadful years though

My famous early 80s feminine snowsuit pic in Dec '81 I posted on here.

For the record.  The Blizzard of 1888 was anafrontal. They do work out.  There is just not much room for error

 

 

Probably the most notable one for people on here is 3/8/05.

They definitely are not very common though.

Didn't realize 1888 was anafrontal. I was away in Florida for 3/8/05. I will always be kicking myself for missing that one because from how it was described it sounded pretty awesome.

March 8, 2005 was a very dynamic storm. The day started mild with rain and by late morning the temperature crashed into the 20s with heavy snow and gusty winds. Many were caught off guard by the rapidly deteriorating road conditions caused by a flash freeze.
