Big downplay of the potential disaster that might occur somewhere IMO ya i agree they did the same with last storm.. snowfall rates up to 1"/ hr with there graphic.. and most saw 3-5" per hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd probably need like 10"...especially since today's snow was pretty light and easily compactable. Definitely highest snow pack since March 2001 here though. If we can over perform later this morning and then get a nice hit on Sat night here, then we might pass Mar '01. You're 4.5" ahead because of that pounding rain I got a couple of weeks ago, which comacted it....trade off is that I have a more sold base, though.

Yeah probably, though the base here is pretty glacial, lol. During that rain you got, it was freezing rain here so that is in the snow pack as ice.

wxsniss Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Is it true MM5 does not handle heights well during SWFE's? 850mb 0C line is a virtual tracing of the Mass turnpike at it's worst, cooler than the NAM and RUC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 BTW not sure anyone else caught this...BOX updated their snow totals on their climo site through this year http://www.erh.noaa.gov/box/AveragesTotals.shtml Still some incomplete data in there for all stations, but at least there's something to look at past 2002.

TalcottWx Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ruc has seemed to have a nw bias this winter, mm5 has had a cold bias, nmm and arw have handled some precip events well while othertimes it hasnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For BOS, I caught the Dec 2007 error we mentioned back during that season...they had 27.7" and not 26.9" that month...for a 52.0" seasonal total...and the '02-'03 total was actually 71.3" and not 67.7", but regardless, nice to see at least updated and maybe they can work out the kinks later.
