cpickett79 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Im sure the difference is amazing, we have another week or so and by then everything but the piles will be gone, however, a month ago the snowpack was historical down this way, all good things come to an end, and for those outside NNE and the mountains, our luck may have run out. nah CNE and the elevated interior got plenty left....prop even the southern CP has another storm or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I haven't seen the Euro, but on the GFS a lot of serious cold dumping over the pole into North American and we have numerous storm threats. I feel bullish that at least one of them brings a good dump of March snow. Last year March was just devoid of arctic air as I recall. Anyway this week looks fine to keep the snow intact after tomorrow's brief warm up. Deal with the 168 hour threat later I guess because a lot can change. Well you will have a better chance in a pattern like this. There is some serious cold in Canada, but with a continued troughing out west..we will always run the risk of a cutter or taint job. The GFS looked good in the longer range, but unfortunately the euro ensembles are the warmest it seems. Hopefully the 12z euro ensembles look better. It's close to a great pattern, so lets hope we can get the PV to help push some of these storms east, but can't say that I'm thrilled right now. We'll just have to see.

Damage In Tolland Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Looks like an AWT for ice tonight in the central and western zones. I'm hoping we can avoid the true warm sector tomorrow...Maybe just a few hours into the low-mid 40's.. I'm just enjoying that hope ..it's the only hope I've got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 This could be a pretty good icing event for a brief time over nrn orh county. I think what will happen is that these nrnly winds in ctrl and eastern mass will become more ne to e as the night goes on. That should help bank the cold into the higher elevations, in those areas. Also the bottom 1500 or 2000' looks cold, so droplets may have a better time freezing to objects. It won't be all day, but looks icy for some. Even further east towards Sterling, Townsend..etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 18z nam more juiced compared to 12z. 1-1.25 for the region rather then .5 -1. Sneaky ice event? Most tv mets say "brief mixed precip/icing to rain". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much cold air sneaking around the ground this time...24.8F/23F attm This could be one of those things, that ends up starting out as a better ice event, but will end up warmer than Friday.

Damage In Tolland Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 This mets quotes in Ji's thread are awesome. I feel like i typed them I definitely do have the reverse SAD.....I dislike the sun and longer days that come with the warmer months. I much prefer a low cloud overcast. Days and days of sunny weather make me quite irritable and I often need to have the curtains drawn in that type of weather. Warm weather too....I do not adapt to warm weather (above 80) and much prefer below zero. There those of us out there.....a few I have met. It's fortunate I was able to move north....I couldnt stand the weather where I grew up in Kentucky. No winter to speak of....always about 50 miles south of the rain/snow line it seemed which ran often near the Ohio River, and 4 months of the 3H weather. What is so odd, but so true is that I go through a period of almost depression like feeling in the spring time when things get green and leaves come out. Once it occurs my mind if you will can get used to, but going from our snowcover right to greenup is not a fun time of the for me. Everyone else is jubilant, and no one understands why I feel the need to shut the blinds and hit the A/C. Takes all kinds... The best day for me is a High of 5 below with a wind chill of 30 below and light snow. Worst day sunshine...south wind at 30 mph and 90 degrees. Worse yet having 3 or 4 days in a row of sunshine with little cloud cover in between. That is why I couldnt live in the desert southwest......

Congrats, my thoughts on the Euro is that it would not take much imagination for that day 6/7 closed ULL to be further south and east. Watching that one intently. Phil has been all over it.

CoastalWx Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Euro ensembles are interesting for next week. They bring that front through with rain on the weekend, but seems like a wave or just overrunning potential next Monday. Then a follow up low potentially, but that may be another mixed mess. At least it looks active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it looks active. good to hear the qpf being signalled by the models is pretty impressive/ridiculously insane, wherever that BZ setsup i would lean SE, why not. btw, not that it matters too much for those in SNE, but this current storm is quickly progressing from an amped up st lawrence low to a flatter wave passing from ohio thorugh central new england perhaps....will have to watch how that convection in the MW plays out. amazing that it was supposed to be a lake huron to james bay cutter only a few days ago.
