To be honest, I'm not sure what the historical numbers are for this region. I was transplanted here 5 years ago and my lowest has been 39" (2015/16). My lowest number (36 years) living in the mid atlantic region was 7.6" in 1997/98...I guess the buildup to this season + seeing everywhere else get snow + having plenty of cold air + plus a ton of precip all winter (in liquid form) when added to the futility equation ranks this one up pretty high despite the overall snow numbers not being the lowest ever. Maybe a 20+inch storm to bookend this season might help overall? sorry :offtopic:

My lowest snowfall total since I really started to pay attention at my current place was the 2011/2012 season where I got 46".  25" of that came in October (the Octobomb which gave me 22" and an earlier 3" event).

I know there have been worse years, especially where I grew up in Foxboro, MA.  Boston has had some years where they didn't break 10"

We miss out on yet another epic 1 to 4 inches. Lol.

Just looking at all the guidance, they keep cutting back. I do not remember which met stated it but nw flow low humidity equals pitiful event.

It was Pete B. on TV a couple of nights ago.

Very true. I still hold grudges how she left me with my pants down at the altar in Jan 15. 

Worst bust of my lifetime living in Northern NJ. Worse than 3/5/01. Euro still had me getting 24"-36"  18 hours out. Short-range models were backing off but everyone didn't believe it and went with the Euro. Once I saw the heavy bands set-up over Central Southern NE/Suffolk County, NY and not move west. I knew and just went to bed lol

KBOS futility is 9 inches.  My guess is yours is under 17.4.

I was all over that. I was getting roasted by NYC weenies.

Seems there's an undeniable weakening in the overall panache of this, as well as S trend.  Together those facets sort of blend the original Euro flat looks a bit ... regardless of whatever the Euro has come around to over the last 30 hours of runs... it seems those original flat scenarios were not completely without merit - if perhaps just too extreme. 

Anyway, I'm at 27" for the season at mi casa.  Maybe adding a little

I remember. I was one of those that didn't listen to you and didn't believe you BUT I wasn't doing the roasting. That was from some pumped up weenies that couldn't hold back after days and days of the Euro showing the storm of the century there.

I ended up with about 8-9" which was one of the highest in the state only because I lived in extreme NE NJ. There were a lot of pissed off general public people with the local mets after that one.

SW CT isn't in a good spot for this one. Hope for a tickle SW. But the rest of the state looks pretty good along with MA and RI. 

I wonder if perhaps there is an element I am underestimating here. If I do bust low on this that will confirm that there is something I am misinterpreting correctly within these type of set ups and I think it has to do with how I view RH/ice in the SGZ. What values are sufficient enough to where you don’t need to worry about dry air?

My forecasting this year has been spot on when using the model with the least amount of snow....at least with this one we still have 36 hours to go and a slight wiggle south would help with a couple of inches.

KHFD definitely is on the fringe of good snowgrowth on some of these runs. It looks a lot better not too far north and east. 

But even at 10 to 1 I wouldn't be worried about HFD seeing less than 2" I don't think. Not unless we see a tick north.

Gotcha, thanks! 

One of the considerations that went into my map yesterday was whether or not we would get into good enough lift down here to maximize snow growth and the ratios. However, like dendrite stated, the SGZ is quite deep so perhaps this won't be a worry.
