I dunno...maybe it doesn't verify because it's 11-15 days?

I think that's pretty baked into these posts unless one is a total newbie here. 

I already mentioned it may verify a bit further west if there's a compromise between it and the GEFS. 

The better response to that is ... now - now is what can go wrong.

It can't go more wrong than right now ;)

In other words, any other reality, if change is afoot, is going to be more right - so his statement is logically baseless... in addition to being purely rooted some weird resentment that it's not summer ( we guess... ); or in this case, resenting that appeal being discussed.

Luke, honest question-what are the biggest storms and frequency on your area?

Just going by when I moved to WCT from CNJ... Dec 10, Jan 11, Oct 11, Feb 13 (was down in NC for that one) and that’s really it when you talk about 16+ events. Several close calls and a good amount of 10-16” events.

Of course I say “that’s it”...it is still a great frequency. If you spread those out over my 10 years, would be better.

Ha, yea I can see that. Upper echelon athletes a have a certain level of it. Did you ever go up against him?

Couple times as a teenager. You can probably guess how that went lol.  I mean, the guy made the Olympic team at 15. He was an absolutely unique freak of nature.

That has to be way more frequent vs long term climo!

It’s tough for me because I grew up in CNJ so I really I only had 87, 96, 03, and 10 there. Creepy 7 yr gap between the last 3. I’d expect an increase moving NE into SNE so 1/3 is probably above climo but it kinda doesn’t feel like it...especially when you folks out east are around 1/1.

Expecations have increased two-fold since the mid-90's and probably more since 05.  My entire childhood we had maybe three decent snowstorms, mostly 1983 which I barely recall.  none blockbusters, or biggies like...03, 05, 15, 11, etc...or even 96, 97 etc.

Eastern MA has far exceeded its climo.  We hope for continued

The timing isn't all the dissimilar from up here.  I think there's definitely something to the patterns that seem to bring several year stretches of more inland storms vs. true eastern coastal plain storms from like the ORH/Tolland Hills eastward.  Each year can have variance but they do seem to come in clusters.

Hey freak-what’s that mountain most prominent that you can see from UVM?  We’ve been here today and the view is spectacular.

That's Mount Mansfield.  It's why it's such a talked about mountain too.  It's right in the view of BTV and associated suburbs.

East side view today.

Thanks!  Really nice.  Winter appeal here for sure!  I love it here-could easily see ending up here but I also am happy where I’m at.

Yeah in SW CT last 16 plus was 2013, however we failed to reach climo only 5 years this century. Pretty good as well.

Last 16+ in far SW CT is really 2016. This is my #1 over the past 5 years. Perfect storm in all aspects. Only thing better would be to take those numbers and X2 em.
