It would be entirely stupid to write off a winter in SNE.  You can pull a bomb to lift a winter out of ratter territory even in April.

It always shocks me how many folks do that and there will be  a widespread 12-24” on March 14th or something.... and all the sudden many folks are 17” higher in their snowfall total and reaching normal snow on the season.

It's a hostile look going forward. If anything March may be mild. So for me, it doesn't seem like much effort is needed to track anything. We all know shit can pop up, but I don't see really anything hopeful going forward.

That's typically how we get crap seasons....we miss a lot of the advisory type events that tend to add up....

 

ORH got smoked too but has had very little since then....ORH had over 27 inches in December, but 6 inches since then, lol.

 

HubbDave did get more in the Dec event...I think he had over 21 or 22 inches. His area also got a few inches on some of these front enders when ORH got like 0.5" or something. So it added up to his area being around 52-53 inches.

I would think it’s Hard to hold 1k airport to 6” total over approximately 6 weeks in heart of winter

I’ve seen you guys pull big storms out of your asses for the past like 7 years.  If you can do it in 15-16, you can do it in any winter.  

I’m sorry, didn’t want to disrupt your pity party lol.  The chances are always small but SNE would have the highest chances of anyone given the climate frequency of these big storms lately.

1980 had 0.8 inches between new years and mid February. Lol.

2007 was pretty bad too until Vday. 1989 was putrid and never got better. 1955 was really bad too...that was the all time lowest snowfall season on record.

 

But yeah, it's not easy.

The chances are small and certainly given the look going forward so it’s a long shot .

I’m sure us believing in fairly tales would be better than the current downer environment so you can enjoy your new foot of  snow .  I’ll enjoy the 36f rain pounding my head on Feb 10 that reminds me of the abortion that was last season.

We’ll remember this if you guys get smoked with a rogue storm for sure.  

I’m with Ray, SNE isn’t done.

I'm going on a hunch...I agree that the pattern looks horrible. When I make my seasonal calls, I incorporate more than just the anticipated H5 evolutions. I also take out the Kocin book and search for any of the analog years, which contributes to my slected date ranges for larger events.

There is a good deal of noise involved in the sensible appeal over the course of a given seasonal evolution, so you have to attempt to account for that by referencing the past...its like a cook book with a myriad of ingredients.

There are two ways to look at it. 1) aren't done, as in it will probably snow again  2) Not worth wasting time with a crap pattern.

I am option 2. There are really no good things at all going forward. I've moved on from the winter, it clearly just isn't working out..and not worth the time. For those who do...I salute you. You can convince me all you want until you turn blue in the face, but eventually....you stop fooling yourself in these types of winters.

On the face of it, if there was ever a candidate to end very early, its this season....but given the manner in which it began, seasons of this ilk have demonstrated a proclicity to deliver parting gifts as a homeage to the early returns back in December..this belies the ostensibly deplorable H5 evolution, but it is what it is.

Why bother saying the same thing over and over. It's like you want to convince yourself.  I would think you would banter and just stop trolling people in this or storm threads. If you think Its over then move on.

The perennial solar min ends today ...  so it begins Kevin's favorite time of the year when sunny days warm the interior of cars almost immediately more noticeable. And if there were a snow pack the eat back factor kicks into higher gear. 

For me this is more symbolic of the beginning of transition season .. tho obviously seldom does the winter give up without a fight .. and some years that protracts deep into March. You just have to accept inevitability on a dwindlng hope curve of ever lower probability. Probability is never 0% ... in 100 years you get 1977, May.  In 1,000 yrs (say) perhaps you'll even get one in June. 20 yrs for post St Patty's Day  Aprils  etc... - so people wisely or stupidly set their expectations accordingly..

Those are virtuals to make the point.  And the given year's tenor certainly plays into human woe-is-me factor too
