ORH_wxman Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Looks like you'll maintain your hot streak. I think you want top end 4 inches for the 1/26-7 storm. Sounds an awful lot like a poster we banned on eastern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 GFS agrees...looks like we are locking in the pike as the transition from paint peeler to thump....AWT. Now you can understand why 1993-94 was my favorite? I'm just enough north to get mainly snow and still can walk to work...lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattb65 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Meh, I see Boston sucking for this storm. As much as I want 18", i see those numbers reserved for NNE. Too soon to say that. Verbatim right now boston gets pelted with 12"+ of 8:1 ratio tree branch breaking paste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Once again, NWS busting on high temps.....not to blast them and I could see the first day, but how do they not realize that whatever they were doing is NOT working....it's so predictable.....they keep calling for 32-33* highs and it's always like 36 imby. 35.

hooralph Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Anyone want to guess on a snow total amount for Boston/Brookline? Or how about one of these ranges: 0-4 4-8 8-12 12+ And how much IP and/or ZR should I expect? Dude, you gotta lay off on the "how much for Boston?" posts every few hours. People will start making forecasts then there is enough clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Growing up in the Western CT hills, the "elevated" valleys can hold on to the cold air and get pretty icy. DXR's airport for example, besides being a fantastic radiational cooling location, gets pretty icy at times. Yeah they do, but maybe HFD is saved from some sleet. I think further sw looks pretty dam icy. I can't recall a big ice event for that part of CT, it seems like it's usually snow or rain. Did '94 have anything like that??

weathafella Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I love the low level cold and the new pattern of SWFE's.. That combination is often very good for SNE/CNE and even NNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MET has been very good for awhile now. During last summer's heatwaves, it cleaned MAV's clock. However during the most recent extreme cold, MAV won the battle. Maybe the colder biased model does better when the cold is real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 What did you post? I mentioned the GFS had a heck of a gradient near BOS and he got about 14" on the snow maps. I don't like to use exact numbers, because they aren't meant to be taken verbatim in marginal setups. Take it FWIW,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomNH Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Don't buy that. 6"...really....I don't think I have lost that much... Especially because I f***ed up. I was looking at KBOS rather than KGAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like to use exact numbers, because they aren't meant to be taken verbatim in marginal setups. Take it FWIW,. YeaH talking exact snow amounts right now is a fruitless task for the most part. I mean I guess you could throw out very general numbers. Most are probably looking good for 4"+ because of that front runner appetizer...but what happens after that is very uncertain other than there's going to be a crap load of winter precip...the type is what's tough to figure out at this juncture.
