ski MRG Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 As a Bills fan, I understand you know all about dodging reality, but I asked you before when you were leaving for AK, are you going to miss the snow? I'll probably be reclining at some random gate at BDL staring at a monitor of cancelled flights for 12hrs. Bad timing. Hoping it's rain down there and snow here.

bboughton Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'd like to have Boston be in the "Historic snow" camp and not the "rain" camp. Can we make that happen? Hope everything works out Pete, enjoy your trip!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'll probably be reclining at some random gate at BDL scratching me man parts and missing Kevin for 12hrs. Bad timing. Hoping it's not all sweaty down there and snow in Alaska. Sounds like a blast Whole family going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here-- that's one hell of a gradient. According to something I read.... the Euro is like April 1997 but expanded about 100 miles further south.

Damage In Tolland Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Man Dick Tolleris has some big big balls slapping against the wall with that map..but in this kind of storm/setup you have to..You either go big or you go home. There's no pussyfooting around with this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hope everything works out Pete, enjoy your trip!! Me too. It'll be awesome. Can't wait. Always takes a day or two to recalibrate for the BIG mountains. You'd think that skiing tight steep trees all Winter would be preparation enough but when you get out on vast snowfields without any trees it messes with your depth perception. What looks like a 10-20' drop can in reality be a 40+ drop when you get to it. Geronimo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 DT's snow map looks good, but to match April 1997 is a heck of a feat. This storm will not come close in metro Boston... back here it could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 DT's snow map looks good, but to match April 1997 is a heck of a feat. Spots W of ORH would have a chance to match it, because they generally got less than 20" in that storm outside of the Berkshires which got about 2 feet. But from ORH county through metro Boston it would be extremely difficult to match since there were a lot of 30"+ amounts. Also north of the NH/MA border by about 10 miles it could easily match or exceed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Will you be keeping us updated with your Alaska exploits or will you be completely off the grid? When I'm in Anchorage I"ll probably drop a line or two. Much of the time however we'll be flying, skiing and camping out in the mountains. Kev would love it, no ammenities.

simpsonsbuff Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Woof on DT back here in KLEB... Not thinking that much yet, but it's definitely in the cards. It's interesting to note how GYX is still calling for a shot of mixing here, while BOX is all snow in EEN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have written a little bit more in my post, yeah I don't think this can be up there for Boston areas or areas on their radius. What I do think it will be like a bit, for the Berkshires maybe 30+ amounts? Areas like Savory and Florida can rake it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold214 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 How much you want to bet the 00z nam goes batsh*t crazy and is all amped up and gives 128 corridor 2.5" qpf (only to back off again later). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 1997 won't happen for 200 years... or Friday Absolutely buried in Foxboro on that one, so yes, unlikely. This storm definitely has the potential to be historic for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 18z GFS BUFKIT is fine for ORH...blitzes them with 2.08" QPF as all snow...most of which falls with temps near freezing. Even BED gets blitzed for awhile before the change over...then ends as light to moderate snow for some hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 TOL probably had about 16" or so. Union had 18". I remember my mom's house had some white pines snapped from that one... I hope this is a 31-32 paster and not a 27-28 degree powder bomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will probably have one of those hyper-meso-lows that track over the Cape, but its so compact and wrapped up it keeps the CCB over E MA and dumps like 2-3 feet of snow. It had a run like that before the Boxing day storm. I think it was the 18z run on Christmas Eve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this is a 31-32 paster and not a 27-28 degree powder bomb I could see this being like 1997 in terms of it starting as a 31F paste and then the hills gradually cool into the upper 20s and it turns more powdery. The first foot or so was wet in 1997 and then the next 20" were actually a lot more powdery. I don't mind that because the trees are still caked from the snow early in the storm.
