If I remember correctly, they were forecasting that storm to miss to our south at first, ended up going to far west for the good stuff in the end but I think that was the theme for that year.

yeah ..there may be a few interpretations.   all i know is we got 13" with some sleet on top in acton ma.  by late afternoon the next day, we were driving around town like normal.

There’s a couple of decent storm signals on the EPS. That time on the ninth through 11th especially.

I don’t mind what I see so far.

Just your typical -12F dew for Miami on the goofus. Lots of beer that run on South Beach. 

Florida could use a good freeze to kill off the invasive snakes and give people a chance to knock down the iguana invasive population.  Couple days of that would take a bite.

We still got hammered pretty good in ORH. Prob was helped a bit by orographics and the strong BL flow but we had about 20 inches in that one. We never truly flipped to IP either…maybe almost a rimey mix of sleet and snow once the dryslot punched in but it wasn’t like further east where it went to pellets and ZR (and straight RA on the coast) before the dryslot. 
 

But yeah, it could’ve been 3 feet if it tracked better.

Has the 1/6 storm too…you can see a mix of primary lows and secondary lows on the ensembles. That one def looks kind of like a SWFE/redeveloper…I think the higher end coastal potential is def in the timeframe you say…like between 1/8-1/12

[WxWatcher007]

Yeah we are nitpicking @dendrite and I think the March aspect for ‘93 adds to its greatness as a storm, but I think the extent and intensity of the cold combined with the snows in the east make 1899 stand out as a broader scale event.

I like the setup for the 6-7th, miller b potential

Yeah i liked seeing the coastal looks in there as the SWFE looks were a bit warm. Hopefully we can fire up a secondary quicker.

PF would like to see that member with 975 over Narr Bay.

Well, that third of an inch of rain coupled with the 42F temp. didn't kill the pack too much.  Still a good 3" with no grass showing anywhere.  But I expect it will be all gone by the first of the week. 

Yeah I have close to that.  We were on the way back from Falmouth Monday afternoon and stopped at the big Wegmans in Westwood.  Definitely near the jackpot based on snow otg.

We need to break the FL state record of -2°. Some new weenie site in the far northern panhandle will do it someday.

Would not mind a repeat of Feb-Mar 1899; Farmington co-op totaled 66" for those 2 months.

Borrowing this from the Southeast Forum, that has got to be the furthest south I have ever seen an ens accumulating mean... Hell even Jacksonville is shaded

One of my favorite snow trivia came in that period.  New Jersey's greatest snowfall (34") came in its southernmost town.  Cape May's average annual snow is the state's lowest; that 1899 dump was 2 years' usual production.

On that same line of thinking, a brutal stretch of cold wouldn’t be bad here to knock down the ticks.

Would that kill them if it got below freezing for a day or two?

Cold blooded, that would freeze them

An FTS Warning(Freeze The Snakes) for FLA possible.

Fwiw, Eps weeklies colder today for every week vs yesterday’s run.

If pythons are exposed they will.  Snakes burrow down there, so they may make it if they can get underground and it doesn’t freeze hard  enough.  They need to be culled and nothing like a hard freeze to do the job.  A few hard freezes throughout the winter would work wonders.

Weeklies come out every day? I thought it was twice a week…?

What do you there? Eat a lobster roll and stare at the ice floating down the Kennebec?

More or less.  Also painting my bedroom, shoveling the driveway and making sure it’s still here.

No AN temps through Feb 9th. If right, that’s a real window. None of that bullshit 1 week of opportunity sandwiched between +4 to +5 AN temps.

Right now this winter is attempting to follow 80-81 which was really the last case of a cold neutral winter following a decently strong Nino.  It also peaked at Nina status very late, more in Jan than the usual Oct-Dec.  The snow totals were awful though and 2/10 onward was a raging torch.  December by modern day warming matched decently well too in many areas, the Xmas cold outbreak skewed 80 too.

Feb ‘81 is the warmest February on record in a lot of northern New England sites. Absolute furnace of the month after one of the coldest Januarys on record.
