Nothing left to say or not say - this storm has been a pure stinker...
agree or disagree -
"ease up in precipitation" wbcs... did it ever come down hard...

Let hope for some snow tonight... Today has been a stinker

[isobar65]

this whole winter has been a bust.

Doesn't look like more than a coating of snow this evening...if that.

Next storm?

I don't care at this point....I'm drowning my sorrows in hot chocolate!

If you're a snow-lover, you have to be disappointed but I can't say it was a bust.  No one ever said this was a stone-cold lock.  We all knew the caveats and potential spoilers.  The mets were emphatic in their belief that this was a complex system and there were a lot of variables at work, most importantly, where that coastal low developed and its exact track.

At least it's not RAIN!!!
I have abot 5 inches of sleet on the ground
and it's now changing to mod snow witch should add
another 2-3 iches to my total  total accumulations 4-8 more than all winter!!!
And at least the ground is white not brown!!!!

agree what are saying 100% however people kept saying "compex" to deny what was obvious since Sunday early morning - the models all went in one direction against a big snowstorm and what gets me is yesterday I quoted three respected mets Evans, Kasper and Allen and I was personally attacked ... I am over it but the mentality on this one was denying that everything since Sunday 5am has stunk about this non-event.... Maybe something tonight

It's just a disappointing storm to cap off a disappointing winter.  This will probably be our last big snow opportunity which is why it hurts even more.  

[jimjesswill3]

A bust for who?? my totals
were right on!!! Maybe not snow but still on
the money!!!!!!!

[summer]

I still would not write off the winter - March can have huge snowstorms... winter is far from over - in my mind we have until St. Pat's Day to get a good storm...

[summer]

Ok Jim,
Not a bust for you just for almost everyone else :-X

Agree for the most part and the personal attacks aren't necessary.  However, the models did waffle a bit Monday and Tuesday and started trending towards a more easterly solution, which suggested bigger snows...plus, the global models looked pretty good up until yesterday.  Also, the models have been inept this year, so I think that gave people some false hope, thinking that they were wrong again and we'd end up with a lot of snow.

It has been a bust for most places, I agree.  Albany doesn't look to be getting the 20-30 inches that they were supposed to get, it's sleeting over there right now.  There was just too much warm air aloft with this storm and the duration is a huge problem.  This won't even be a 24 hour storm and there were too many dry slots with it.

bust, maybe sow totals are low but its far from a bust.

That I agree with...some stations were saying as much as 20" for Northwest Jersey, which made me scratch my head.

Did anyone even in Ulster county get over a foot out of this?

[rgwp96]
