People who aren't weather enthusiasts/winter weather lovers like we are, think we're absolutely Nuts lol. My girlfriend thinks I'm an idiot when storms are possible/approaching and just laughs at how childish she thinks I am with this. Glad to hear others get the same reaction lol

Yeah, when I talk about ripping dendrites and excellent snow growth, 12z this, negative tilt that, my family shakes their collective head like I've got water on the brain. Maybe I do, but it's of the frozen variety. Weather weenie-ism is a chronic, lifelong disorder.

1978..not 1888..

 

1888 was a totally different setup with a stalled warfmront up into New England

 

I'm just kiddin btw. I was just making a reference to an epic snowstorm. I actually haven't studied or looked at the synoptic setup for 1888 so I have no idea what it looked like. Outside of pictures of New York and 45" totals at HVN I don't know much about it.

My god! 

This trough is so powerful both spatially and in amplitude that's it's almost like it's just one big protracted 9 day storm, with three separate pulse blizzards defining.  

 

It's like a hemispheric event in this Euro run.  The Earth's great spot, only because of our size it plays out over a week or more, and not hundreds of years like on a gas giant.  

 

Interesting... On a philisophical level, there's probably something to that -

Whatever falls isn't going anywhere either. Wow. Unreal

 

Yeah, I was just talking to a Meteorologist buddy of mine on the phone, and we were ruminating about the greatest snow pack depth we've ever experienced, and our personal sort of secret interest in breaking that record.  

 

I have never lived really above 400' of elevation over eastern Ma, and currently live in Ayer, which is almost the nadir of Nashoba Valley.  Between Lowell, Winchester, Acton and here, pretty much all the same ... I have seen 36" on the level once, and 35" on the level once, and 32" on the level twice, in the 30 years I've lived in eastern Massachusetts.  That 35" year was recent, too ...I think it was 2012 when we got 45 days of snow storms every 72 hours...  We melted between events though ... which is why the 35" seemed to be the ceiling depth that year.

 

But this!?  Jesus h christian!   6" today... and if the bevvy of solutions in the average verify, 24" after limited melting, then, prospecting deep blue cold with two additional, and what I consider to be veracious threats into early February... we'd be talking exceeding 36" by a considerable margin to put it gently....
