This is the first year I’ve ever kept my greenhouse running all winter and I have regrets. 

The lake is freezing over really well. You’re a rad pit until April now.

65 in June with a wind up Paugus Bay when Guilford is 85.

We really haven't had many cutters ( or any for that matter ). They could be what resets the pattern?

The only sign of warmth coming from biker exhaust and urine on the banana plants.

Need more precip for sure. We’ll see if the cold sticks around long or close enough to matter.

Picked up 4-5” of fluff last night on the hill.

Very fake.

Why has Ray checked out?

This is just a wild guess....but probably because he has like 8" of snow on the season and nothing interesting to track in the pipeline....

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the ongoing multiyear snow drought...

He is tired of waiting for regression, but maybe this is the regression?

What’s the return rate on that next 72” event?

Same as the 60".

And reported 164" of snow depth with zero settling during the storm. I assume they were just glancing at the snow stake every few hours. If they were taking more frequent measurements, who knows how much snow would have been observed. I'd imagine there were some avalanches up in Tucks from that one.

Interesting battle coming up. Multiple strong arctic fronts with possible clippers riding along it.

There was no "we" involved. We have complained about the size of the domain for the local scale.

Unless the takeover of CAR has begun...

Tip will love this from today's NYT:

On Wednesday, the ground speed of a flight from Las Vegas to London hit 814 m.p.h., close to the subsonic speed record of 835 m.p.h., which was set by a flight from New York to Lisbon last February.

On our Japan trip 9 years ago, it took 8 hours to fly Honolulu-Tokyo, about 3,800 miles.  Coming back, Tokyo-SFO (5,200 miles) took the same 8 hours, with ground speed above 800 at times.
4th straight subzero morning and tomorrow is forecast for #5.

LEts dig that clipper a bit more and have it look more like the 00z GFS.

Feeling it. Impressed with the Arctic front as well. That could be wild.

10 years for the northern Greens, 10,000 years for here.

Cold again next week, hope that clipper develops into something decent.

No storms to track, he loves following systems that may develop, all we have to look forward to is a clipper and maybe something the 2nd.

This is what bothers me more than anything. You can make up a snow deficit very quickly with the right pattern in late January into mid Feb. But in good winters we are consistently tracking 1-2 threats inside 7 days during the late Jan-mid Feb period. If we are looking to the long range for hope in late Jan, no way around it that is bad news. 1 clipper threat and nothing else over the next 10 days doesn’t really move the needle.

It really has been awful. Northern energy doesn’t dig as much as it used to.

Unless you're northern New England the clock will begin ticking rather quickly shortly.
