ski MRG Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Yeah but who cares? What good does snow OTG do me here? Long as they have it in the sparsely inhabited nether regions of the mountains where I can go ski/snowmobile/snowshoe and then go home I'm happy as is 99.9% of the population. I've already done the initial woodchipping, started trimming back last years growth and am getting ready to prune the shrubs. All this why the neighborhood kids are having a blast outdoors. The town already swept the streets so there isn't any sand on them opening up roller blading, scooters etc for the kids (including street hockey games ongoing right now).... I certainly respect the fact that you enjoy being snowed in but give me sun and warm weather. Just did a rough departure thinging for Boston..I think about .6 above normal, providence closer to 1 degree. Total snow in Providence so far for March .8" hartford 1" and some trace amounts. Boston .7" and some traces. So let's be realistic, your call for a stark return to winter in the major cities was wrong. It may have been fine where you are and up north, but where a huge portion of the SNE'ers live, it never happened in terms of the snow. Sure it's "brutal" out there or would be minus the late March sun. It's cold, dewpoints are in the single digits but we have near 100% sunshine so it's not that bad. I'd care about my snowpack if I owned a ski resort in my front yard. I understand why everyone else appreciates it more, but for me...long as the slopes have it I'm happy. Exactly! In the end we're all just along for the ride. You know Scott, I kid around alot but it doesn't always come across in the written form. Basically, I think there are great reasons to live in any part of New England,N,S,E and West. If I had the ability to write the script Feb/Mar would have been better.lol Still though, it's been an awesome Winter here and I would argue for nearly all of SNE. I need a bit more Winter before I acquiesce to the coming of true Spring. Then I'll enjoy the warm season with an eye to a Winter that will be fast approaching. As for me calling for a return to winter in the Major cities, I'm quite sure I made no such declaration. I've intentionally spoken in the vaguest of terms.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 But you are in great shape at 64 ..so the actuarial data would say you are around a few more decades anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 But doesn't that also look like so many GFS depictions when it cannot wind up the good intense low because it has so much junk going on, feedback as JB always says ...While the Euro nails it for days leading up.... We''ll see what the 12Z Euro says. BTW....JB goes PP view on the 1st. I'm not paying for him this late in the season....yeah probably subscribe in the Fall. setting up somewhat by 102 hours...but it'll be a day or three before we see whether or not this is a real threat or just more missed opportunity. I remember when John was describing this a few days ago and all the potential he was talking about the lack of so many s/w in the flow. We had one bowling ball. We're kind of heading towards the "mess" we've had for a month and a half per this map if correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 But you are in great shape at 64 ..so the actuarial data would say you are around a few more decades anyway. But then there's what happened to your Dad....or the simple fact that degenerative diseases and cancers are far more prevalent with age. All good....my theory is as long as I'm waiting for the 4 foot blizzard I'll have something to live for...lol.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 GFS OTS with both lows, but I don't think that's going to pan out in this pattern. It's pretty clear models are struggling with the s/w's. I'm still skeptical of that first wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Man the models seem really confused as to what s/w is going to be the player. GFS seems a little more stronger with the first wave. I think tis probably good its offshore right now. I don't like seeing those BUF-cutters on the GFS usually. Ensembles FTW though at this time range.

weatherMA Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 6z gfs takes the low over detroit, buffalo, and Canada. Spring is almost here! GFS OTS with both lows, but I don't think that's going to pan out in this pattern. It's pretty clear models are struggling with the s/w's. I'm still skeptical of that first wave.

dendrite Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Well the NOGAPs is a coastal hugger so there's more evidence against the GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'm more worried about an all rain event then suppression. I think it ends up a rain/snow combo imby but how much is rain and how much is snow is just a minor detail. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Well the NOGAPs is a coastal hugger so there's more evidence against the GFS. Ensembles still brush se areas with the first low, with the second low near HSE at hr 120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Slows down when it gets near our latitude as well. The flow is really meridional even on the ensembles which means this storm is more likely to happen than not. I'd be more scared of a cutter to the west than a strung out wave SE.

ski MRG Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 It is a little nippy. Up to 30.4/4 at 12:10. Top gust at 8' was 21mph. Sap running cancel. That notwithstanding, out t take down a couple trees. First of the season. lol. You're as bad with the trees as Kevin is with the Chipmunks.
