Snowfall Forecast for Quick Hitting Sunday Night Snows Largely Successful Minor Forecast Discrepancies Here is the Final Call for last night's fast moving winter storm (right) versus what actually transpired (left) in terms of total snowfall accumulations. While the forecast overall was fairly representative, the most persistent banding ended up being over the Berkshires into southern Vermont, as opposed to northern Worcester country into southern New Hampshire. Additionally, slightly less snowfall fell versus the expectation over the eastern half of the region due to the slower arrival of the colder air relative to modeling, thus 4-7" would have been more appropriate versus the 5-8" range that was utilized. Final Grade: B

One thing I have noticed about you is that you are prone to losing sight of the forest through the trees.

The eastward position of the trough certainly doesn't help.

Right, but it can't be ignored, either.

The 5-8 range incorporates that...I'm satisfied with it.

5" Final...that decaying deform band coming through added 1.5" after 2am, so I limped to the low end of my forecast range.

Deformation snows just arrived here....hopefully get another inch. Off to bed...

Except that season actually snowed in New England....nothing like it in terms of snowfall.

We are usually comparable, but you are trouncing me this season.

I'm at 9" on the season right now....need another inch. I'd say 50/50.

3.5" Probably crawl up to 4" with that band to the west.

2.5" as of 11pm 28.2 S

Finally pouring snow.

Dendrite will get like 8-9"...probably about the jack.

Yea, finally....probably get about 4".

Congrats...took you 50 minutes to pass my 4 hours of snowfall.

Well, the has fared pretty well this decade.

You never know....still-born snow storms may grow on me with time.

Well, at least there is something else in the pipeline....spring.

Ready to declare a bust here.

1"

Shocker.

This isn't the type of system where you are going to see bands stationary, but the storm is moving so quickly that getting caught in one or two of those is what separates the haves from the have nots.

This area is prone to that, but its been especially bad these past several years...aside from 1-7-2024.
