lolz.  What did you do/ say to get the tag?  I missed it.

 

lol. Dating yourself with that one, but I remember it well.

Pretty sure I was bantering in the model discussion thread and then a mod said he should just issue a weenie tag and then I said I didn't care cuz I was a weenie and then I had a weenie tag......

TBH I didn't even know what it meant.....

It's better than a BANNED tag at least.

Is there any indication March and winter in general is going to end abruptly or do we ride out the next 6 weeks or so with avg temps and precip?

No real indication yet. Although I will say the pattern looks like it could favor the Plains again...but too early to tell. No blocking means cutter risk.

CT, while being a small state, has quite a few Micro-climates within it's borders.   My area seems to be in a decent spot in that we tend to do well with both Miller A's and Miller B's. While I'm considered Western CT, I'm not that far west of the River, but still far enough away to not be in that Death Valley shadow either.  Miller B's might be even a lil more prolific though...but we've done quite decently in Miller A's also.   While my town does sit in a valley for the most part, it's an elevated valley where the lowest spots are still 200ft above sea level, and the higher spots in town are 400-600 ft.  We do well in SWFE too.  And I'm plenty far enough away from the shore so as not to get in on a lot of their Taint, but storms that graze south many times will hit us with something(Jan 2016, the Mid Atlantic Blizzard, we picked up about 9 inches..while places just north of here had 1-2 inches.)   However if it's an elevation dependent set up that's where that hurts my town.

BDR averages more than 4.5" in February. NYC gets almost 10" in February on average.

What at your thoughts for Feb 26- Mor. 15th?

Def looks like a return to more favorable pattern...but as usual, be leery of the cutter because we won't have any blocking on the Atlantic side...though if the AO tries to go more negative up near the pole, then that will help some and the Euro is trying to hint at that.

Yea, true about Southington.

The wife and I will be house hunting this spring, we have to move east a bit to be closer to her mom in WeHa, she likes Southington, but I am pointing her up the map into true weenieville haha.

You should move to SE MA, where it snows.

geez 9 inches in last year's mid atlantic bomb...I wonder what my old stomping grounds in Bristol had

when I lived in Bristol, Southington made out better by at least half a foot in the 96 blizzard and a few other more southern tracking events but I also remember a coastal hugger in Feb 1988 that produced 5-6 inches in Southington but ten inches in Bristol

Overall though a very good location in interior ct, both of them really
