Oh well...enjoy this run because it's only downhill from here. i don't know if you caught my post earlier but doesn't that hearken to late Dec 1993 there ? does to me anywho - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of developed on an arctic shortwave....I remember it really got cold behind it. It has the same classic high pressure position just N of Maine but the shortwave to me is different...not a classic overrunning, but more pure coastal cyclogenesis (albeit cold thicknesses...not the more moderate ones we are used to in a typical coastal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 heh .. i offered to fire off a thread for this thing three days ago but feared bundom and refrained... i think at d4 it's probably okay - sh!t i've started 'general awareness' sort of thematic threads for teleconnector suggestions that were 10 days out... this is a unique sort of deal though. we're still dealing with a screaming fast pattern. the only reason why this thing take 24 or 30 hours to complete is pretty stupid lucky really ... in that it's headlong going the longest possible spatial course it can to complete traversing the ov-ne regions. plus the leading gentle upglide that could start it off way ahead also prolongs. anyway, this is not really obviously tied to any tele signals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES! that's the one damn.. i was just thinking internally, 'maybe it was also the next one..' heh that winter was a real pepper job as i recall it. people think of 1995-1996 as a nickle and dimer but the 1993-1994 winter definitely fits that characteristic just as well in my memory. i don't thing seasonal totals bear that out, the oes contamination over eastern zones. very Boston centric year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paper goes into the mechanics well, but it's fascinating. Synoptic sleet, but then low level flow from the NE off the water with temps around -10 to -12C in the BL producing mesoscale heavy ocean effect snow.

I'm thinking of firing my snow guy and doing it myself manually but at 70 it may be unwise. I ordered a Toro corded electric from Home Depot. 15 amp, 18 inches wide, will do about 10 inches of depth at a time. It will mean multiple passes when we get the big ones, but it is compact and lightweight. Driveway is long, but not that wide, so I'm hoping this will do the trick.
