Tracking either the biggest storm to affect at a regional scale since perhaps 2013 ... or, a complete whiff. Pick-em'

Sorry, I know my area well. We've had many storms many years where BDL has basically nada, and we're plowing roads over the ridge 

Simsbury is not averaging more than Kevin. That’s my point. It’s lower and is not getting the moisture from coastals like they do. Kevin also does better in SWFE.

No need to look at a model when Kev gets up in 3 hours...just see 3 pages on whether Simbury or Tolland shaft is wider and then log off.

Looks great at h5 though.

Of all the patterns over the years, this is the worst by an order of magnitude. I’m being dead serious too.

The precision it takes to smoke Dallas, Atlanta, the upper south, central Plains, Ohio Valley (Cincinnati), western NY, DC, most of Virginia, the Mid-Atlantic coast, and northern NJ (in December) while simultaneously porking virtually all of non elevated New England is truly extraordinary. 

I’m as optimistic in life as one can be, but a cleared eyed assessment of this situation cannot lead me to any other conclusion than this was our chance, and a rat is likely to prevail imby as a result of our increasingly apparent failure.

My average is 69" so I win.

But have you had a raging blizzard with sustains winds of 45 and gusts to 80 for 20 hours plus. Cape cod can do that. 32” I’d take that over a 60+ avg season any day

Well, I can drive an hour, experience it and come home to a cozy roof, power and 62" average.

I disagree. I've seen many times over the years where from BDL east get shut out in marginal storms, even at some elevation. If you look at a topo map, there's a ridge on the extreme east side of town. That's a big dividing line in most storms, even non marginal ones

That little ridge on the east flank does nothing for simsbury:

It actually does... What's with all the strange denials about the area? OK so say it isn't 65, but it isn't 55. I mean,  isn't BDL around 50-55? We're ALWAYS above them, sometimes quite a bit 

[ineedsnow]

shes coming back tomorrow if not the next day.. right? right?

Yea. I wasn’t saying the climo is the same as bdl just that it’s not as snowy as hills to the east of death valley like Tolland.

This the worst start to a season for me snowfall wise through mid January since 2006. Think about that...the -NAO can fuc( RIGHT off. Even some of these recent seasons, as horrible was they were, kept slinging enough precipitation my way that I would end up with respectable, albeit well below average snowfall. This season is quickly challenging 2009-2010 for most skillful, rabbit-out-of-hat way of engineering the least snow imaginable at each and every turn. I never seen anything like that, but it's a page right out of the 1979 playbook. Even 2006 had an abysmal pattern throughout the first half....but this...you can't teach an atmosphere to violate me in ways this bitch has. Unspeakable, unprecedented, unparalleled act of atmospheric sodomy.

Anyone want to track wild fires in CA until it snows again?

[40/70 Benchmark]

I keep thinking that it can't get any worse and then....it does.  I'm not sure what to even hope for anymore....I've been fuc(ed in every position under the sun with every index mode and ENSO phase known to man, and have rolled snake-eyes.....phase 1, 2, 3 5, 7, 8....fu(k 'em all because there isn't shit that will make it snow in Methuen. You just need to resign yourself to being perpetually tea bagged by Mother Nature or find a new hobby....I don't know, what the hell...I'll start collecting fu(king stamps or some shit.
