CoastalWx Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Or, something later on period. Considering that it's only 2/29, you never know what March, April or even early May will bring. Just enjoy the weather that you have...it's the only weather that you have. Yeah I hinted at that earlier. They'll always be a chance, but the writing is on the wall for the season after this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWolf Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 It all came down in that quick burst... was snowing for most of the day but not accumulating. Was only when sun went down and intensity picked up that it really started to accumulate. Then by 7-8 PM it was basically done. What blizzard is that guy talking about? Is he talking about last year? Because there wasn't any blizzard on Feb 8 this year in SNE. We did have a snow event that day here, but it was hardly a blizzard lol..I got just under 6 inches in that system. I wish he would have said the year he was speaking of..unless he thinks that system on Feb 8th this year was a blizzard??? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nevertheless, I stand corrected on that. And no need to be snarky, I'm well aware of weather outside of CT. I just didn't remember due to it being a sub-par event as far as new england blizzards go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being snarky...like dendrite alluded to, people view events as a whole by how they perform in their backyard,which doesn't always lead to an accurate assessment. I don't doubt it was meh in your backyard..... But it was pretty high impact in a good portion of the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastonSN+ Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I posted this in the NYK thread: This to me looks a bit like February 22 2008.

JC-CT Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'll bet you get 11" this go around. We all get that you've checked out, but please don't harass any poster who acknowledges that this could adjust west a couple hundred miles given that it is 120 hours out. We've actually seen it happen several times this year. The fact that there is a good likelihood for disappointment doesn't mean that it isn't still worth it to watch until we get a little closer, and some of us are still emotionally capable of handling an unfavorable outcome.

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I honestly thought we could grab another event with this pattern. We still might get a hill town blue bomb or something that isn't modeled well until a few days out, but just a lousy set of circumstances to prevent anything wintry around here. Although, I suppose it's too early to write off "something" for end of this week. You were right. It should of...I just had a bad feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was definitely referring to the February 8th blizzard of this year. In my post, I stated that I had traveled to the SNE coastal areas of Plymouth and Marshfield, respectively, to document the event. As someone who has now documented the last 5 East Coast blizzards (3/26/14, 1/27/15, 2/14/15, 1/22-23/16, and 2/8/16), I can assure you that I have a fairly good understanding of what a genuine NE blizzard looks like (albeit not the experience of many on this board). I'm certainly not suggesting that the 2/8/16 blizzard was a repeat of 2/8/78...but it also wasn't remotely close to a "weak sauce" event for the SNE coastline from Marshfield SEwd to Cape Cod. In fact, blizzard conditions verified all throughout this area. It was a fairly short duration blizzard that was only accompanied by 8-11" snowfall totals, but it was intense while it lasted...especially at Plymouth harbor where I filmed this storm, and out on the Cape! Moreover, there was major storm surge flooding in Marshfield following the late morning high tide that engulfed some homes, businesses, and vehicles. Have all of this documented on tape that I will eventually get around to posting online in the near future. Might try to at least post a short clip of "raw footage" by this weekend, to share what it was like in the aforementioned areas. Being that blizzard conditions weren't experienced in your locale and seeing that my home location is in SE NC, I could see where you might've presumed I didn't know what a true SNE blizzard looks like.

It had faded away from the big hits the last couple runs, but bringing it at back today does give me a little interest...we'll see if the European Twins trend closer or not.
