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

I think Sam Lillo reran that pattern and found it was like a 1:1,000,000 chance occurrence for BOS.

Sam made some of the best snow maps when he was just starting out as a pro forecaster back in the day..............:lol:

Euro continues to dig the northern stream more and more. Actually produces 1-2” over SNE because of it. What a kick in the nuts…even a little more southern stream and this could’ve been big.

It was truly incredible. Every time Kevin cracked open an IPA, BOS got another 18".

Every effing s/w queef produced 2-4"   I mentioned last week I think how you could just never bet against that period. I was never more happily proven wrong than on the day Logan broke the record.

I knew that N stream would end up aggressive...this is why I talked it up when it looked like the s stream would play ball at like day 3-4 prior to phase.

This is like viewing the Mansfield stake at 3300 feet…except it was BOS. What a 6 week stretch. You even had these little refreshers too mixed in with the big dogs.

BOS does not average a daily snowfall of 12" per season, it's something less than 1 per season. But if you accounted for snowfall splitting midnight, it's probably around 1 per season.

Never had BOS had more than 2 daily snowfalls of 12" in a season (at that time it was just 60-61 and 77-78, 17-18 has now joined that list). 2015 had 4!

It literally makes me sick. Don’t worry though, the models will make it up by being unanimously unwavering on the D10 cutter.

I dunno, the excitement of seeing the low shift from Buffalo to Detroit might keep us on the edge of our seats. We know all the weenies in Detroit and Milwaukee are dueling it out.

I still get this overwhelming feeling that can't be described when talking or thinking back to that season. I know I will never see that again. 

The crazy part about that pattern is we left a couple events on the table too. That’s how favorable they setup was. We had that 1-2” event on 1/31 that was trying to blow up and give us 6-10/8-12 briefly on some guidance…ended up destroying downeast Maine instead…and some of the second half of February stuff didn’t quite amplify but it was there for the taking. Not that we could ever complain about it’s amazing how many shortwaves just wanted to produce. 

The craziest one is still the 2/7-2/9 event…I remember a bit over a week out we were all saying “could be a brief milder period with a bit of thawing before we reload”…and yeah, like 90% of the country did torch for a few days but that arctic boundary draped SE from Canada over New England and we ran those ripples of low pressure under it and we stayed cold. I remember the first day or two of that event it was like 70F just south of DC and well into the 60s in S NJ. Crazy how it broke in our favor….now we’re paying for it.

Definitely won't see thay combo again. Temps were overshadowed by the snow. It was as consistently cold as it gets. Set monthly and maybe a couple all time monthly records? 

NNE had plenty of -30s, but for SNE no cold shot was all that extradinary, just consistent way BN cold for weeks.

ORH and BDL set their all time monthly cold records. BOS would have if the station was Logan airport the whole time but they narrowly missed out on the old station record which was inland a bit.
