Now we need Brady Tkachuk to be OK. This is gonna be crazy. i think your definition of "somewhat OT" is different than mine. you know that there is a banter thread, right? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When has it ever been correct. It usually follows the large big guys like the GFS or Euro, but I would never use the icon as something to look forward to. I think it’s just another tool in the toolbox. It rarely ever leads. In my tropical tracking, it led the way with Beryl’s landfall zone but that’s about it.

weatherwiz Posted Tuesday at 06:45 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:45 PM I am desperately ready for warmer weather now. This has gotten ridiculous. The ice too in the driveway and at the bottom is absolutely wild. Spent 2+ hours last night working on it. Had to be a good 4" think. Had to go to the dentist this morning and thankfully I was able to get out of the driveway...road here though is a disaster. It was slipping and sliding until I was able to get to the main road. Getting into the driveway...almost didn't happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can live with 2-4, 3-5” events every few days that build on the current glacier. Although reaching climo is probably lost to some of us, I don’t think wintry events are done in SNE. most besides the absolute die-hards have checked out. Snow outside of solar min is pointless unless you're way way inland or skiing /doing something with/in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For years my pack in bridgton has been orders of magnitude greater than Portland suburbs. Not the case this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting into the driveway...almost didn't happen. It becomes .. or 'might' become, particularly more intolerable during these sunny afternoons of latter February. I mean, it'll be hard pressed to find a sky that pure in the warm season around here, so in some respects the actual photo-ocular effectiveness of the sun's "shining" is going to be even more triggering then a day in May. So then you walk out there and your stunned by the cold - that's the intolerable thing. Your mind was trying to associate that brilliance and so conjures unresolvable nostalgia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted Tuesday at 07:58 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:58 PM 15 minutes ago, ORH_wxman said: Yeah the GEFs was actually even more aggressive with a new -EPO in the first week of March, and the EPS appears to be collapsing. Two days ago this was not there in either, and it's now dominating the spatial layout out of nowhere. Can't say it's a bad outlook... Persistence alone may force hands. So, for winter/cold enthusiasts, that's a good sign for more near misses because of poisonous speed flow footing. The WPO remains neutral or even modestly positive so... hopefully for spring/warm enthusiasts, that will abase the GEFS/EPS and go on to verify at least a nominal temperature theme.

I know there have been packs like this in the past but this is the first I've recorded 20" for PWM (4th season). Like NW_GYX said, it's usually his area that has deep pack, not us. Looking at CoCoRAHS, it is odd to see the coast with a deeper pack than inland. We're only talking 4-6" difference but still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted Tuesday at 08:48 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:48 PM I'd say 3-7" here. But even solar Phil can't break this glacier for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there will be an Archambault event in the Feb 26th-Mar 10th timeframe. The pattern grows much more amplified on the models, and this time there isn’t any blocking which is a good thing. Blocking sucks! I’m sick of the south getting all the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the plotted values I posted are human obs. Dryslot posted the satellite derived ones that estimate depth via water content. Human obs of depth and s.w.e. are factored in, but I’m not sure how many data points there are. It’s possible for me to have say 20” and Tip has 14”, but Tip could have more water content due to rain, melt, wet snows, etc. If it’s using the same ratio for both of us it would see my pack as being less than his. I think this has gotten a lot better though since cocorahs became popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted Tuesday at 09:52 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:52 PM I have about 7.5-8" so the satellite-derived one isn't far that off here, but its def slightly high overall which isn't a surprise because of the water content. The pack in ORH was about 11-12" on winter hill. I think I have about 3 inches of water in the pack...it's ridiculous. I should cut a biscuit and melt it and see what it actually is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
