skierinvermont Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 A little late to be looking at models I know but I thought that large differences between the 6hr GFS and NAM were fascinating. Look at the differences in the Mid-Atlantic. NAM has a big stripe of .75+ from BWI to northern NJ. GFS has .75+ stuff from south of MTK up to ORH and has .1-.3" qpf where the NAM had .75-1+. I'd say the truth was somewhere between these two. Also look how the NAM tries to hold back the surface low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannae Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Man thats rough Poor Burbank and Gutner I think he means WBZ radio (1030). They use Accuweather, I've always thought their forecasts sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonWX Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I could have an additional 2 from being on the good side of the cf. OES getting going around 9:30-10 last night helped. Yeah I agree the CF detracted 2-3 from my total, but that band from hell with 3 instances of thunder snow may have bridged the gap to 1ish or maybe less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAM's resolution caught the surface low back further to the southwest and associated dynamics, it seems, while the GFS was too far northeast with the main surface low and too far northeast with the banding over that 6 hour period from 00-06z. The NAM was absolutely atrocious last night, though..so I guess what this is telling us is that we can trust it's 6 hour forecasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Heart of the deform rolling right over me, but it's really progressive and the best dynamics were blown sw....prob get 10-12" on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the NAM definitely held back the dynamics for the Mid-Atlantic - NYC a little too much. CT/RI/eastern LI definitely got much a bit more than that in that period. Better than the GFS for sure though. Westerly had .55" vs the NAM's .25" and the NAM is usually wet. MTP had .71" vs .35" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Probably going to fall just shy of a foot here but it's going to be real close...still coming down at about an inch per hour it seems.

Cannae Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 WBZ4 is known as accuweather They use Accuweather for radar and stuff, but employ their own meteorologists. WBZ radio, for a very long time, has had Accuweather mets do their forecasts - "I'm Accuweather meteorologist -blank blank-." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Earthlight has 20-21" 2007-2008...I hope he sees this too...climo is a b*tch....that way he cannot complain the next time you see 8" and he sees rain and 33F during the next 12/16/07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Oh my god.. probably some of the most epic video and pictures ive gotten. albeit horrible quality. I got to the top of dorchester heights and i will guesstimate gusts at and above 50mph. I thought my face was going to fall off. Heaviest snow I may have ever seen in my life and possibly lowest vis. It was down to 15-20 yds at best at points. Most of neighborhood hasn't been plowed in an hour. Snow is deep and up to the tires in the streets. Only plowed street was Broadway on my walk.

TalcottWx Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Will, I have a horrible memory. (short term memory disability diagnosed) I can usually barely remember the dates and amounts in events next week. This is one of those memories I won't forget for a long time. It's going to be in my mind with shoveling out April 97' and Getting plastered in Jan 05'. The conditions out there were intense. Call me a weenie but what an awesome 45 minutes that was.

weatherwiz Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Back edge of the precip shield getting very close...luckily it looks like it will be at least moderate snow until just about the very end. This will be my second 10'' snowfall this season...after going nearly 5 years without seeing ONE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
