This winter will slowly evolve into next winter at this rate.

personally i like it.... keeps it interesting.

Yet you are the guy who calls all these wishcasts "BUSTS" when they don't come through. If you take them as just conversation and not a forecast that's fine. Too many people see it as written in stone and that's the problem.

40° last month would be warm but you can tell 40s this month is chilly.

1pm temps showing pockets of 30s hanging around but generally in the low 40s across CT. Warm front will come through with some rain and maybe mix at higher elevations in CT.

Wishcasting needs to stop.

I'd personally define it as "speaking with authority about a topic while lacking knowledge about said topic." For example, posting a map and speaking authoritatively while saying that it concludes there's a good chance of X inches of snow, when such a conclusion can't logically be drawn based on the model posted.

Posting a map or picture automatically gives a sense of authority to someone who doesn't know any better. On the same note, posting just a map without a description can also create panic. So it's very important that things are explained in such a way that is on a very fine line: being able to draw a conclusion without actually drawing one.

Well they are busts..... That doesn't mean we don't wanna know about the potential storm

I use the ignore feature. That way I don't have to wade through all the nonsense.

No....they are NOT busts. That's the point! A bust is a forecast from the day or two before that doesn't happen. Not from a week out.

On another note. Half my lawn is still white. Though the mountains of snow around my driveway / mailbox are now foothills.

Wow. I lost my snowpack 3 days ago. Officially just piles still around and shaded snow cover. I was even surprised at the thin snowcover in Litchfield around Route7/New Milford areas but noticed it got thicker higher up you went and under the trees. 10-12 inches was still around on the trails few days ago up about 800 feet. My cousin still has 8-10" in Putnam county NY. Anyone have an updated snow cover map?

March 26 Storm Update:

So this afternoon models remind us about the pattern we been in. Swing and a miss or brushed.

GFS is OTS well south.
Canadian is a disorganized mess with some snow but main storm is too far East in Atlantic
Euro brushes us with some snow and again bombs the storm to 963mb but this update shows it too far East to affect us. I think that's 4 in a row with a sub 980mb low.

Something I read from Uptons Discussion is interesting in my eyes...
