Damage In Tolland Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 How in heaven's name is this weekend likened to 78? 78 had the huge 1050 HP draining cold air into a clipper that exploded off HSE. WTF? Isn't this weekend event a Miller A type of deal? He didn't say that Jerry. Birvine made it up. He is however talking about a very warm 2nd half of the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 For those S coasters worried about radar it is filling in nicely in that area and throughout S CT as well as areas north now. Started here as some grauple now over to moderate with good flakes 1/4 down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Nah, it will be overcome. Besides, your bread and butter is tomorrow. I think there will be some surprise patches today and that "general swfe snowfall distribution" rule may be busted a bit. We'll see, I wasn't talking about imby, (actually in any posts really) I find those type annoying. Referring to SNE in general. Having said that, ratios may compensate to bring totals up to par too.

weathafella Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Maxon This weekend is 93ish? How so? JB 2nd half of Feb warmth may be right. Rubber band breaks. 2/4/61 brought 2 feet of snow and the curtain down on an epic winter. I'm hopeful that we can go another month at least.

jconsor Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Bastardi surely can't be likening the weekend storm to '78 when he's saying this on Twitter: Weekend storm should change to rain on east coast. In spite of all the cold now, Feb in east nothing like last year snow wise How in heaven's name is this weekend likened to 78? 78 had the huge 1050 HP draining cold air into a clipper that exploded off HSE.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Everything here covered that first batch was pretty good snows, roads are ugly. Waiting on batch two hoping to get a few inches before it mixes 11-12 late am. Hoping for 2-4 today. Second one down here is dud for my area. Thinking little or no snow from it coating to 2". Boundary is now so close to the coast even though the low redevelops it does so over snj then moves over cape cod. Any snow is good snow but the warming exhibited the last few runs makes me think this one is mostly a goner down my way. I noticed the total snow graphic shows 7.2 here...the cape cod 50% rule brings it home at around 3-4" is my guess two day total. Will enjoy the snows this am though!

Damage In Tolland Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Noyes likes the weekend FB4cast: Snow lovers delight. Snow haters, I'm sorry. Here's the deal: Snow continues today, 6" on average south, 4" north, less South Coast. Break overnight until 3-5AM when it comes back. Mix with sleet/freezing rain/rain south of Route 2 . Plowable snow again for many Saturday. More next Tue/Wed. Seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally winters like this are full of false warmups and pretty much continue unabated from wire to wire. 93-94 was like that and so was 2000-2001..We kept seeing models advertise warmups and they never came Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The p-type algorithm for a lot of the 3z SREF members are getting the sleet line very far north, but I think it may be overdone. 3z SREFs are very juicy up north... definitely ticked warmer and wetter. Good sign especially with the GFS and NAM ticking more moisture northward at 06z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eamp Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Why do mets poo poo this bufkit data that is shown http://www.meteor.ia...b/cobb_help.pdf The snow totals are in error. The table computes snow totals by adding hourly snowfall together. That is like taking a clean snowboard, measuring the snow after one hour... and then sweeping the snowboard clean... and repeating that 24 times in one day. This is not how snow is measured. When measuring snow totals observers are not allowed to measure snowfall more that 4 times in one day. Snow settles, so the summing with 24 snow measurements in one day will greatly overestimate the snow accumulation actually measured. The Iowa State meteograms and the Bufkit tool fixed this error in 2010. You can see the this page for how big the impact can be: http://www.meteor.iastate.edu/~ckarsten/bufkit/compaction.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
