So by that definition, the last snowstorm we had up here last April and the first one we had this year on Thanksgiving we’re back to back as well. 

Yes now you’re getting it! Good work

Ah, the great high pressure of Feb 13, 1981. The event that truly got me into weather.

Nothing like the vibe in this place when there’s legit hope. 

No arguments, no wolf attacks..all because computer simulations give us a chance. 

We’re like dogs tapping our way to the kitchen when there’s food on the counter…

As long as there weren’t any rain or snow events in between .. yes that’d be back to back and belly to belly 

Those are reserved for two Miller A's that start in Jamaica.

She’ll be back soon with another hot summer.

this is honestly the KU progression we’ve been waiting for. west based block retrogrades and rots over the Davis Strait with confluence in place. both waves are easily visible 

And the block doesn’t overwhelm so everybody parties

Even the early Jan 2018 “bomb cyclone” was like 950ish I think. 

I was living in Dover NH briefly during that one. It was a blizzard.

The upcoming stretch is our best legit snow pattern in a while.  Let's hope we at least get one region-wide warning event for SNE. I like that period from 5th or 6th through mid-month.  The weenies need this!

[Snowcrazed71]

I'll tell you what, with the sentiment being what it is in here, it's it has inspired me to look up past snowstorms for the whole region. It's been awhile since I sat here and just looked up past storms for any given winter in our area. Brings back a lot of memories.

Will will remember synoptic class and Colucci saying that high pressure can be sexy too.

I’d prefer something in the 980’s. Any lower (hell even in the 980’s this could become a concern) you start to worry about precip shield becoming more banded…which has screwed us in the past. Really hoping this period around the 10th works. 
 

edit 70’s to 80’s

What's wrong with increased banding? Is it just that it isolates high totals to localized areas?

If precipitation becomes too banded then you're dealing with too many subsidence zones. There were a few big ones I think this happened with in the early 2010's. Areas that got into the subsidence zones got screwed mightily.

If you’re on the wrong side of those bands you risk getting some serious (subsidence) exhaust. Enough to put a weenie to sleep.

Do you mean gravity waves?

energy digging further southwest through 144 in regards to setting up the storm on the 6th

[weatherwiz]

I can't remember which one it was...maybe it was 2013? But I remember getting royally screwed in West Hartford...I mean I think I still got around a foot or so but a far cry from the 18-24'' expected. I remember alot of pissed off people that night because the radar was just so bandy...it was like looking at a tropical system.

The coast actually was close to jacking here. It was more from marshfield south that had some issues. I think Logan had at least 17”. Had almost 20 here.  The tides were the biggest issue. Pretty much unprecedented flooding, surge higher than blizzard of 78. Luckily we didn’t have the wave action otherwise the coast would have been devastated. 
 

Unfortunately the real devastation happened two months later. One of the most powerful nor’easters I’ve witnessed. Was mostly rain though.

Referring to the March 7 2018 storm? That was way more painful for me than it should have been. I still believed in dynamic cooling then…

Gfs looks alot better with January 6-7 storm. Better confluence.
