This was our backyard in Randolph after the last storm.  Our 42" fence is nowhere to be seen back there.  The lower hook for the bird feeder is over 6' above ground.

No photo description available.

Yeah, I mean my neighbors above ground pool was getting buried over. LOL. I'm not gonna pollute this thread with 2015 debates though.

Well gee, Ray ... I'm impressed - 

Yeah, okay - if you wanna play the general appreciator of weather-related anomalies card, absolutely.   We do not, under those auspices, disagree at all.  Folks should know me - if a comet is whizzing by, that takes precedence.  

It's just that in here, this is not an appreciation for weather-related anomalies ... It's a psycho-tropic stimulus addiction ...one that is rooted in the sentiment of snow.    That's the audience I was directing the previous post too - 

I'm being a little sardonic there but seriously, I agree that 2011-2012 has its own quirky charm and fascination.  No disagreement from me.  

I mean, John....ifs not going to snow, I'd prefer that the atmosphere let it be known very clearly, and then proceed to shower me in sensible comfort. Having an ostensibly favorable long wave pattern that meticulously plots to utilize atmospheric chaos as a vehicle for deconstructive interference, as it relates to local snowfall is beyond sadistic. All the while maniacally sinister enough to engineer the "warm" anomalies via a lengthy aggregation of mild nights.

Yea, fu** me, you and every last one of us-

Also 100 miles North of 0Z

Also OP runs 7 days out...?  I know let’s discuss them for sure, but to get all bent out of shape because an op run 7 and  10 days out shows something you don’t like is just silly imo. 
 

Do I think that could happen to us this season...sure. But to get upset a week out is crazy.

All ensembles have also been consistently south. The amped OP runs that try to cut do not bother me in the least.

Generally they are going to show bad or not desired results and you end up angry and pissed off. I’ve just never gotten why folks sacrifice hours of sleep over something they can see in the morning.

I never understood people who sleep through overnight blizzards

Ah -hahahahahahahaha!  

Yeah ...sometimes when in lost fortunes are replaced by frustration in such elegant proportion ... it becomes difficult not to consider the super-agency theory - lol. 

The atmosphere does this, you know?  It's like when it's got it in for a region it just doesn't relent - it hammers ...and when the region is dead and defeated, THEN, its' starts hammering ... Nature is cruel ... like an Orca (this winter) flipping a seal pup ...  ah, we'd be the seal pup in that metaphor

Like 2015 February - it's like Will said ( I think it was ...), we were merely mid way in the month having already shattered every 30 day snow record there is between here and Utqiagvik Alaska ... Yet, we were looking at 4th period blizzard watch, and a D8 high probability for successful verification just beyond..  It goes in both directions.   The Earth makes sure ;) ... And of course, we don't notice it when 80 or 90 some-odd % of the ballast times anomalies actually dole out in equaller proportions. 

In this case...we are being hammered by negatives .. that's just it. In philosophy that's basically it, the unrelenting form of plight.   Question is, does it relent in time ?  

Back in 1956 ('57?), there was a March that racked up some 60+ inches from N. Philly to PWM after a pretty sandy serious of winter months prior.  Seems harder to do that as this new climate paradigm is doing whack-a-doo things with Springs ( separate discussion vector ..lol - ) in general.  But, the point is... it's academic to say, it's January f'um 19 .... 

You know, while on the subject, it occurs to me that all we need is +PNAP even just a little... whole aspect changes.  Obviously we are in 'put up or shut up' scorched attitudes now, but we really are still in a subsume regime...Whenever we see blocking in the 60th N latitudes pearled, that is inherently slowing that W  --> E coordinate relative to the 40 N.  That is an "implied" cyclonic motion...and that's the initial state to get SPV's to crash in and fuse with S /stream features.  We are not seeing that because the flow / PNA et al is just not allowing ANY western heights...so there's nothing to trigger those interactions - bypass prevail.   But you know...?  That's playing with matches there...

One would think the late January partial PNA recovery would be the ultimate smoking gun....but gotta see it to believe it, at this point.

Absolute agreement..1956, BTW...Will and I discussed it this AM. Only big second half on record for a mod or stronger la nina.

A Ray melt is a good start, but in my opinion we still need Scott to throw a full on DEFCON 1 thermonuclear smiting before this winter can rise reborn from the ashes.

I won’t. After the last few seasons, I just make peace with it. I’ll probably mini melt with some wise ass comments from time to time. It’s a bit of a pressure release valve.

January has been interesting. Much warmer than average in the Lowell area. If the ground is frozen, it's only the top inch or so. The temp gradient also seems greater than normal. While it's been warmer than average up north, it's not by much. I'm seeing the typical temp difference of often more than 10 degrees at any given time between Lowell and Thornton which is much higher than usual. I feel for the folks in SNE. This month has sucked!

I feel the exact opposite actually....the temp gradient between NNE and SNE has been very low....hence the +9 to +10 anomalies up north and the +6 to +7 anomalies in ORH and BOS. We've lacked good baroclinicity most of the month.

 

Thought he last 2 or 3 days that hasn't been the case as there was a frontal boundary that cooled off NNE while we were still torching a bit down here.

Holy shit are you kidding ...  +6+ in ORH ... ? 

ho man...  Ray's right.  This is a helluva way to collect any gratification for witnessing interesting phenomenon when it feels shitty outside yet it's that "warm"  - 

Yeah, Neptune is an inferno compared to Pluto - why choke my chicken!  how riveting ...that's deliciously boring.haha making me laugh

I find as I get older I care less and less about these long boring stretches. They used to eat away at me; it felt like a personal affront to not get snow, but now I can rationalize it. Now it takes a large bust inside 24 hours to send me over the edge. We had two events in 2018 that sent me into towering paroxysms of rage, but that was the last time.

Here's the high temps for ORH....the only day that remotel sniffed 50F was the 47F high in the warm sector briefly on Saturday thi past weekend. Otherwise......total snoozefest way to run a torch month.
