Favorable odds there…like betting on the Pats over 29.5 pts.

Always good to get the first fantasy map out of your system. When you hit up GGEM we know you are all in.

When I was a kid I always though Dec 5 was the realistic start of snow season, where I live anyway, you're earlier than me.

15th here and 22nd when I lived in SRI

When I was a kid growing up in CNJ in the 80s, winter started on 12/26 and ended on 1/31.

1717 is that you?

Lol I mean you can’t get more encompassing than that.

That’s some Dec 2003… 18”+ in BTV and Weymouth.  Just everyone seems to win.

Need to take advantage of it at 200 hours out before TauntonBlizz debbie’s a suppression jackpot.  But maybe all those inches received from b*tching only applied to rain during Stein.

When I was growing up in NNJ in the 1950s, I expected a snowstorm in early December-it occurred pretty much every year (culminating in the 1960 blizzard) for awhile which colored my thinking.

I think this was the one when the Pats played and the stands were full of snow and they were throwing snow up to the sound of the music.

1957 through 1963 was a pretty good period for early December snow in NNJ. Pretty anomalous in the historical record.

I had some of the most insane mesoscale stuff I’ve ever seen in that. We had about 6” of snow before a flip to rain during Saturday. That night flipped to a 34F paste at my house on west side of Marshfield. Was not really accumulating yet. Went to ex GF who lived at the beach and it was driving rain. However, the walls were shaking with 70mph winds so that was cool lol. 
It flipped to snow that night with a few inches there. Got to my parents 5 miles away to trees down and about 10” otg.  6 miles NW in Rockland they had 20”. Insane difference in about 8-10 miles.

Patriots had snow games in back to back weeks that season. The December 14, 2003 storm was a solid front ender that got them during game time. 
 

Then of course the AFC championship game against the Colts was in light snow. A week earlier was like 0F in the divisional round against the Titans. January 2004 cold snaps were epic. 
 

Then the next year another snowstorm during the divisional round game against the Colts again. I remember Corey Dillon running all over them in the snow that game.

Haha yeah it was like a 4-5” event iirc but a great game.

They had some epic games in snow and cold in the early 2000's, I think it was pretty cold for that Colts game in the snow too.

Timing is everything.  But to a young weenie confirmation bias can last a long time.

[bwt3650]

88-93 was a terrible stretch in NNJ.    The 93 storm seemed like the start of some much better winters.

Oh for sure. There’s a reason me/Ray/Scooter’s generation used to think 3-6” was an amazing snow event. We grew up in dogshit winters during our formative years. Esp that crucial age 8-12 period.

8-12 is the age at which a boy's weenie(ism) comes to life.

I miss those maps. I used to love it when Kocin would come on and say “I think we need to take the numbers up for Hartford”. 

It feels like Region wide obliterations are hard to come by these days.

That’s exactly why many of us expect winter to start in late Nov . Growing up more often than not Nov and Dec had snow . In this current climate it basically can’t happen . It’s mindset and trying to pull away from what we once knew. Not easy to do.

That event was a monster up north too.

It was my first year at UVM, and BTV picked up like 55” that month of December, with 100”+ at the ski area summits.

December 5-6, then 14-15 were both widespread 18-24”+.  Then there was another one right before Christmas with double digit thunder snow paste job.

I assumed that was just how it was up there, ha.  My first winter month in N.VT and the atmosphere was just taking dumps on us.

How naive I was, ha. Then in later years like 2004-05 I found out what suppression was .

Here was the 12/14-15/03 event.

I’m with you… the Weather Channel forecast maps back in the day were the holy grail.  Seeing that 12”+ color was as invigorating as anything lol.  Then wait for the Local on the 8’s to see the huge snowflake with his little buddy and just the word “Snow” under it.  Like a drug in middle school back then… just wait another 10 minutes to get the next hit when the Local on the 8’s starts up again.

[Ginx snewx]

Just watched this on my TV. Stream it on your Firestick Roku. Unreal long fetch through many tide cycles on dunes severely damaged by Ian. Anyone who has driven on Daytona Beach  can relate.

I used to like Don Kents map with the snowflakes he made on the chalkboard or whatever kind of   board it was.

Gotchya. I’m in a wait and see mode this season. I don’t have a lean. The only take I’m certain of so far is the pope choking on the eucharist.
