yhbrooklyn Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'm actually a little confused by the scale. Isn't it a Northeast scale? Why is a midwest blizzard counted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'm actually a little confused by the scale. Isn't it a Northeast scale? Why is a midwest blizzard counted? Not to mention, why are snowfall totals that occur in the midwest and plains counted for east coast snowstorms also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Humidity Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Not to mention, why are snowfall totals that occur in the midwest and plains counted for east coast snowstorms also? If you slice the lower 48 in 1/4 's, the vast majority of that storm is in the NE quadrant of CONUS. Ohh, and its the first NESIS map I've ever seen that gives more snow the we actually received, No one in the lower 2/3rds on NJ saw 1 - 3" snow or sleet.

WestMichigan Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Isn't that map a little fishy. Portions of Central Ohio go from 4 - 10 to 0 and parts of Oklahoma go from 10 - 20 to 0 with no gradient in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, you're driving from Cincinnati to Columbus and it goes from nothing to 4" magically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolai Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 This was most definitely not a Cat 3, as others have said. It gave barely any snow from NYC south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yhbrooklyn Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Wonder if the 1/26-27 storm will eventually be on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yeah, what's up with the map in Minnesota as well? Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Wonder if the 1/26-27 storm will eventually be on the list. I was wondering about that too-- that was the most widespread east coast snowstorm this year, you'd think it would have been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Its wonderful how they chose to incorporate the JFK horrendous mismeasurement. 4-10" lmao Im sure JM, Ace and a few others will chime in on this also. Its funny the cat is so low, since it was the only corridor wide snowstorm this winter, but thats probably because there werent any >20" official totals.

superjames1992 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 The 1/26-27 map is a bit sketchy, too. The foothills and northern Piedmont in North Carolina did not pick up 1-4" of snow. Some of those areas saw a few flakes and/or a dusting, but not 1-4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yhbrooklyn Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Did they just add that? I typed in 2011 in the sort box on the NESIS site and it wasn't there a few hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Did they just add that? I typed in 2011 in the sort box on the NESIS site and it wasn't there a few hours ago. That ranking seems aweful low... I mean, everyone Philly north essentially had 10-20 and it only is ranked cat 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, what's up with the map in Minnesota as well? Weird. These maps seem to be data-starved around the edges... it looks like much wider areas of terrain were covered by the low end totals (and in Ohio's case, apparently by the mid-range totals too) than reality would indicate. Keep in mind that these maps are preliminary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdwx Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 That ranking seems aweful low... I mean, everyone Philly north essentially had 10-20 and it only is ranked cat 1? Actually Baltimore north. I had 11in here and the most thunder snow from 1 system I've ever experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 That ranking seems aweful low... I mean, everyone Philly north essentially had 10-20 and it only is ranked cat 1? Its like Feb '67 (cat 2) but with even lower coverage of 10"+...so once you see the Feb '67 map, it makes a bit more sense...here's the two maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
