We develop a defacto west based -NAO though shortly after Xmas, so I wouldn't be shocked to see some blocky/wacky solutions between now and then.

 

Here's today's Euro between D8-11....you can see all those higher heights up in Canada expanding into the NAO domain....its not your classic NAO ridge back building from the Atlantic, but it may still offer some chances for storms provided the colder airmass gets trapped a bit underneath it

Oh ok Will...wonder if the EPS agrees? Also, the GFS is showing the first part of the long duration event beginning at D6-7 before the ridge gets into the NAO domain. I'm thinking the airmass under the block won't be very good but I'm sure Pike north could still get a decent event if something like the GFS would come to fruition.

He’s probably away from the river or at a somewhat higher elevation. The difference is between 300 feet and 600 feet and less than a mile or pretty spectacular in the Merrimack Valley.

yes, up and in as our friend DIT likes to say.

my office is right across the river from MHT maybe 50' higher than the actual airport, and has gotten at least 3". I am NW of there and higher up

Well if you just look at Boston and metro west, 1993-94 was a major all timer.  Certainly in my top 3 experienced as is 2014-15 and probably 1960-61.   1995-96 goes to #4 due to the spectacular melts-lasting for weeks.

93-94 was 3rd snowiest of my 13 winters in Gardiner but had by far the best pack, plus the coldest January.
Top 5:
1. 1960-61 (NNJ):  100"+, 3 storms 18-24", NJ record depths.
2. 1983-84 (Fort Kent):  Biggest pack I've seen, most strong storms, 26.5" March dump, biggest snowfall.
3a.  1976-77 (Fort Kent:  186.7", 2nd tallest pack
3b.  1981-82 (Fort Kent):  185.8", coldest WCI [1/18/82], April blizzard (vies with 2/3-4/61 for most impactful snowstorm - NYC schools reopened on 2/13).
5.  2007-08 (New Sharon):  142.3", huge SDDs. 2 storms/week much of Dec-Feb.

Honorable mentions:  1957-58 (NNJ):  18" Feb blizzard, 24" paste bomb on the equinox;  2016-17 (New Sharon):  127.5", 2 storms of 21" plus 15.5" in the Pi Day blizzard.

92-93, 93-94 and 95-96 were all good, I was in western Mass at that time and I remember trudging through waist deep snow to look at houses.

Only stretch on record where ORH managed 3 winters of 100”+ in 4 seasons. (We came close to repeating that between 2000-01 and 2004-05 when we did 3 out of 5)

Ya 92-93 got going nice..that was a good one too. 

I moved to Vermont in late August of 92 so that was my first winter here.  It snowed the evening of Sept 30.

92-93 was the first winter since a short period in '88 where we had snow,  and lots of it. IDK what BDL had that December,  but in Granby did really well.  That early December storm... the 6th i think, closed down a Christmas tree farm in Riverton CT. 2 plus feet fell along with nice drifting

Oh I can understand that…was just responding to Rays post about 93-94.  93-94 and 95-96 were historic record breaking here. 14-15 was not record breaking here(it was very good), but not historic by a good margin. That one was eastern SNE- BOSTON’s record breaker. 

I had an undergrad seminar 1x/week on Wednesday evenings in 95-96.  12 for the entire semester.  5 of them were cancelled due to snow.   Everyone (within reason) got an A.  That's one of the reasons I'm here today.

95-96 was epic across the entire region. I wish we could get a region wide winter like that again.

34.1/31.6  Light to moderate rain and big parachutes.  It keeps flipping.

Been a surprisingly mild stretch.  More snow melted in this period than from the 2” rainstorm.

In the valley we’ve wet-bulbed down to a 33-34F wet snow (white rain, just a very minor slushy coating) at 1.5-2.0 sm visibility.  The ASOS gets the vibe right. We all know that snow… not accumulating well, if at all.

Up the road at 1500ft is getting caked white.

Gee, that's too bad. Any pics?
