Lulz, my people are coming out! Welcome to the Dark Side, we have candy ;)

I'll welcome Western MA into our forum, they and NNE are probably a better fit here than in New England forum, reading the latest thread hijacks about the insane microclimate atop mysterious Mount Tolland.

That place is a well known snow magnet. Who knew? Pretty sure they're still digging out after today's gully washer,

It used to be that way over on Eastern with posters from Canada/Vermont/NH before they switched to American. Personally I think we fit in better with Ohio and the great lakes section with lake effect and similar climo. We are connected to the same lake as Ohio/NW PA posters but post in different forums.

we have a great forum but it gets heavily weighed towards eastern and southern sections bc that is where most of the folks live so I get that but some of these lucky guys (not all) do not exactly realize what they have been able to experience the last several winters. Many of the posters in southern and eastern sections have seen snowfall rates and depths and number of double digit events frequently to even consecutively that many folks will never see (outside of les favored zones or perhaps the high sierra or rockys or black hills).

 

At some point things have to swing back. I have done ok some seasons but more often than not am on the outside looking in which is part just bad luck and part being in a valley location that just doesn't do well overall with big coastals unless they track inside the benchmark or closer despite rain and mixing issues.

 

I just scratch my head when I see posts from folks who are at normal to above normal for so far this season when to the n and w things go from bad to beyond worse, and many of these folks have experienced winter or winters when they have been 100-300 or more percent above normal etc. Parts of long island are already at 40 inches for the season!!

 

Im glad some of you guys had a nice hit yesterday and overall it looks like there will likely be another in the pipeline at some point not too far away and hopefully that one will get a much larger area right into central and nne as well.

Yeah, last year was just historic for SNE. That was a once in a lifetime type stuff. I frequently lurk your guys board as you have many intelligent mets that are able to provide great information. Good luck the rest of the winter!

Pretty consistent with my estimated snowfall of 12" here 5 mi east of Brockport. Snow depth has since compacted to 13" total.
