You haven’t hit climo where you are Miser?  I Hit it here. So I’m satisfied with the winter. I said back in late October early November that if I hit normal snow for my hood, I’d be very happy. Can’t complain with a normal snow season in SNE. 

I'm about 15" shy here, which normally is pretty attainable with March to go, but I doubt it this season.

Lowell has been close to average(although I haven't kept a tally), Thornton is probably about 20" below average. I think one area hit hard is around exit 24 southeast towards the lakes region. 

Yea, I am at about normal now, but I expect to fall behind climo the rest of the way.

I thought the models were trending in the right direction with the fast flow issue going away and the pieces of the polar vortex breaking off and delivering cold shots to the east. I know the models don’t show anything but I would rather see a good pattern on the models with no low than a garbage pattern with a low. Get the pattern first and the lows will sometimes pop up sometimes out of nowhere.

About 4 to 8 below for us, he lives near me

12z CMC. Has a big storm going ots. Would be nice to move that one closer

Yep, this run the timing is off, but if we can get just a bit more northern stream interaction that will help with the cold air, increase the strength of the low, and bring it farther west. On this run it’s mostly southern stream until a tiny piece of energy from the northern branch phases in last min. All it takes is a small increase in strength as well as a slightly farther south dig from the northern branch and things get very interesting.

I think I am 5 - 8 inches off.

It's day 9 on one of the worst OP models. Not even worth spending 5 seconds on

I keep wxmodels year round. Softball,Beach and pool weather as well as cane season. Always keep an eye to the sky

Understandable. I usually skate by with Tropicaltidbits for the tropics....don't need the same level of detail that I do for snowfall. Just the general synoptics.

Not for next weekend, but beyond that it looks pretty torchy on GEFS.

Yeah... maybe in the PNA a little - but it's bump out there in the late mid range does in fact not go posiive ..it only kisses neutral and collapses mid month.   

It may also ( lol ) help us not to use "torchy" and "nape" adjectives so liberally.... because they are subjective, and that allows bargainers and deniers room for tactical evasion and spin. ahahaha

Kidding but beyond any hope from the PNA and plausible storm that may fall in that first week of the month ??  hmm ... hard to see where any AO and NAO ( respectively ...) bouncing around on the positive side of 0 SD represents failed napery.

Lets define Nape weather once and for all.  First of all ... who's the asshole that brought that term to the forum - oh ... wait.   heh.  Anyway, I'd say yesterday was about a B/B- nape day. It would have been a A, but we kept sheening milk skies...dimming the sun component - the sun is critical...  together with light wind after ~ Feb 15 ... a cool day feels "faux" warm ... I call it fake days of spring when it does that.  Razor thin parking lot warm layer in light wind and cold atmosphere.. It's an appeal, one that can't happen if sun or wind are outside margins of tolerance... So if we put quantifiable metric say,

44 to 60 F;   post Feb 15;   > 70% sun;  light wind    ... to score an A+  "nape-balm" bomb of a day requires hitting all 4 parts of that test

I think with AO and NAO primarily positive in the GEFs ...and the PNA wildcard still edged negative ( despite the relative rise for that first week - which again...doesn't technically go positive anyway ) the GEF'll probably not only nape by the above criteria... but then what is a torch... hmm.

I wanna say +10 F ...regardless... But, it can be 57 with too much wind and it sucks outside...and be +17 ... so maybe that is not good enough.  Unless "torch" removes the sensible appeal entirely... and is just a numerical aspect.  But I think +15 with > 70% sun and light wind as a baser requirement...
