Epic winter signal continues to beam, part VI

Thanks for checking that. Good man! I still think we book an xtra 6+ but Harv giving me pause....

He's being conservative for now until the midnight models come in. That's a smart move on his part. With all the model waffeling, he wants to make sure he doesn't get backed into a corner like other mets.

Does Rapid Refresh do a good job with snow/ice/rain? 9am tomorrow.

Be a good test of the HRRR. It was okay with the last storm inside of 12 but was a tick too cold at the start.

You see how the departing round 1 is trying to form a bridge to round 2. Gangbusters in the wee hours is my call. The snow down vs pl is the question and I still hold with some others that suggest the Pike is the battle gound. No way is this going into S NH.

That'll be the key, get the precip in here and let it go to town 4 to 7 here, 5 to 9 or 10 where you are and we all win.

Boston was on the 2-4/4-6 line.

That seems VERY reasonable to me IMO right at this moment. Gun to head I'd put my area in the coating to 2" range, south shore up to boston 2-5"

Checking the soundings in a bit more detail for GFS 18z, it looks like all snow through hr 21 with some really heavy precip and the flip around 24 is right when it's winding down. Perhaps it's dynamics ftw? So even the torchy GFS gives us some good front end snow, good sign imo.

Here's the 21z sounding which is 15Z wednesday - 10 am??

Storm really scoots out pretty fast

Even at 24Z it's pretty close to isothermal at 0C but it's clearly dried out in the snow zone (Green line for those who don't read these things much is dewpoint)

Those are for BOS?

Yesterday someone joked that BOS may get more in the 1st round than the 2nd round...

Looks like we got 6"+ in the metro region Tues.

Still think copious qpf before a mix will produce Wednesday midnight-10am, even if a mix happens by 10am and Messenger wins his dinner.

I agree, thinking 6-9" for much of the area with possibly lower right immediately on the coast or at the airport due to warming low level temps. Hoping we get 90% snow before any ugliness.

The fact that Phil stayed ZR today has me thinking we stay below freezing.

Channel 7 interviewed one of the horses. Hoofie said there was a loud bang and then the roof fell on his mane. Hoofie said he had a headache and may have chipped a tooth but most of the other horses were fine aside of Black Beauty which broke free and was last seen running towards the glue factory.

I hope the horses are okay, those are one expensive animal to keep.

I'm good with that. Nice dinner and plenty of snow.

Im Thinking of trying to fall asleep by 9pm and get up around 4-5am. Im fine missing some but it should be fun to track.

5-9" is my call here. If we somehow stay snow up till 11am or noon...9"...if it sleets around 8-9 am...5".

I'm doing the same I believe

Been out shoveling for the past two hours and thread expanded 8 pages so not sure if it was posted but the 18z GFS sounding is ugly here tomorrow

The precip is pretty much out of there by then...hence the dry slot above H7 in the sounding. Find the closest 21hr sounding you can to HFD.

I wonder if some of these 3-6" amounts will make schools think they can open? IDK, its confusing if your not following it. WHDH has a map out for 8-12, but I think its for both events. If it is their only expecting 2-4/5 more. Then NECN has 9 additional and 12-18 additional north of nh border :arrowhead:.

BOX I noticed is actually pretty bullish, they have 5-11".

Well with less amounts, that means ice. More likely to shut down the entire state. There will be an epic amount of closings tomorrow.

Oops...didn't even realize that :lol:

Went to twisterdata and tried to get a plot as close as I could...the line between ZR and IP is just going to be so fine I doubt we'll really know for sure until the AM...you can see the sfc is warm enough for rain but not sure if I buy that just yet

Wow!! back to light to moderate snow here... look at that band that is forming in SNH, SVT and ENY.. headed right for me.. Dom, maybe we can pick up another 1-2 inches here quick.... if thats the case, I think we'll reach 20" for a total for tomorrow

EDIT: Messenger, what are you talking about with you can't measure 7.75" on the next page?????

A standard ruler has the .25 line the .5 line and the .75 line in between the single digit inch numbers...

7.75 is realistic....

7.70 is not however...

Weather people in Taunton saw the Euro today and are concerned that it is colder. Only thing giving them hesitation is the GFS 18Z because of its slightly warmer solution for storm #2 but the NAM and EURO say colder solution. Which would you go with? HMMMMMM.......:snowman:
