Had a couple hours of wet snow here in Plymouth, VT between 4 and 6ish. Weather says we may get rain/sleet/freezing rain by morning. Hope they're wrong!

Damn.

Nor'Easter now forecasted to be much weaker and wetter. Just 2-4" for the Worcester Hills, 1-3" in the Monadnocks, nothing north of those, and rain south and east.

....suggesting everyone on AZ send me $20, which I'll make sure to get to Ullr. He's out West at the moment, so I'll have to fly out but I'm sure there will be some extra money in my bucket of $20's..... :lol:

They reported 2-3 inches at MRG this morning, followed by some light rain. We're supposed to get a couple more tonight. It sounds like a net gain, but--ehem--not quite the 30+ inches (too much to measure) that the MRG weather page was predicting a few days ago.

It looks like the warm weather is extending into February as well.

I know weather people have been crapped on for years about the inaccuracy of their predictions, but man, this year has been the worst!!! The models they're using seem to be terribly more off this year than any other I can remember. Is this evidence that perhaps climate change is real? I mean, even during the summer, it seemed as though nobody really had a good understanding of just what was going on.

The atmosphere has been doing weird things (warm ocean waters mean more power for hurricanes), big snows in late october in NE... Things like that.

The computer models have never before seen these anomolies and thus don't know how to forecast them, that is why there has been so much incongruence in forecasts.

Everything is forecasted to stay frozen throughout the storm in the Worcester Hills with 2-4" of accumulation.

Most of the scientific community and many ordinary schmoes like you and me has seen the evidence for years. Not from the lack of snow and warmer temps in New England this winter but from the worldwide glacier meltdown. Interesting article about that in the Sunday paper about that.

I suppose only god and Bode know for sure. :lol:
