I wasn't the one conveying certainty, you were. It could be a ratter, but I was asking where you got the extreme confidence form that it would be.

I just enjoying effing with you. My honest opinion is not a ratter. I have nothing to point to a ratter or snower, just my gut and some educational guessing.

powderfreak Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Some just never call for a mundane forecast. Never say just below normal or even normal. It has to be a full ratter or the deepest winter ever. No middle ground because what’s the fun in that? Those are sometimes the only two options for certain folks lol.

40/70 Benchmark Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 @ORH_wxman Best I can gather is that my current spot probably had around 80" in 2007-08. Groveland, which is just se of Haverhill and seems like a reliable station, had 77.4". Jive with your map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prob put you closer to mid/high 80s that winter, or possibly even cracking 90" if you are being a weenie about every squall. As we know, if the coop isn't a very meticulous snow observer, then it could easily be on the low side even if they are still following the minimal guidelines. Also you are west of them so you were prob on the W side of the CF in some events where they weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I have told you in the past that I figured around 90" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noted since moving here two years ago that the CF often stops at Haverhill, so that makes sense, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazey Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 That small window near Halloween bares watching for something wintery. It’s been on and off guidance for a few days now. Long ways out but could offer a shot. Then of course the winter goes to hell after (if the myth is true) #NovaScotiaStrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Yeah it's way out there, but there's some potential for somethign wintry around 10/30-10/31....low probability of course this time of the year, but there's some very cold ar lurking and a good high is present on most current guidance. Fwiw, the Euro OP cuts the system to our west, so anything is possible at this range. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noted since moving here two years ago that the CF often stops at Haverhill, so that makes sense, actually. Depending on the winter there can be a sharp gradient across the area. Haverhill is a very large city, nearly 36 square miles and it is the largest city in Essex county. The central part and NW parts of Haverhill are best for snow. The area closer to North Andover is more prone to mixing and/or changing to plain rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
