Go Time - First Winter Storm Threat for New England 2011/12


Baroclinic Zone

Recommended Posts

I'm actually pretty confident that Kevin will see snow before the weekend is over, whether from the first wave or the second

Me too. I think he'll get some from storm 1...at the least some 33-34F flakes to finish with maybe a chance for a little more.

I'm losing confidence a bit for you and I to see anything other than -SN melting on contact or a dusting.

Thanks for bringing some reality back to the downers and folks not understanding the setup/elevation etc..

I agree. I mean, it's only been this recent model suite, but it's a convincing trend. Like I said though, this is the range when things get shaken up a bit.

For storm 1, I'll probably say 1-2" for southwest and south-central NH, with up to 4" in the Monadnocks

IDK... I can see this creeping back up north giving you snow and me rain to snow as well. Just a lot of time left.

You'll probably be sleeping when the snow hits and not even know whether it snowed or not since there won't be accumulation

Keep an eye on the track/strength of the vortmax...we see models screw up the qpf a lot on these...esp in the 72h time frame. Remember when a lot of models (esp the NAM) would have a qpf max in NYC in overrunning/SWFEs with a vortmax track over LI and the south coast? Something to consider. If the vortmax is weak and diffuse, then it can be suppressed, but if it has any potency at all, then I'd keep an eye on it and be a bit skeptical of the qpf field.

Funny... if things break right we would end up with the greatest snowfall depth on the ground in the northern Hemisphere below 10,000 feet elevation, for the 40-45 latitudes, by next Monday. In fact, one must wonder how deep the snow really is up there where it is dusty cold in the deep polar field... It pixie dusts 24-hours a day in that stuff but that ain't 20 inches worth...

That Pro-AccuWeather service is putting out 18-24" for a large chunk of interior SNE through N PA for the 7-day total. ...I have NO idea if that is a trustworthy source...

It is trustworthy, you can trust it to be way to high.

The s/w on the models seems like it would argue for something closer to the 18z GFS, Pretty big displacement between the surface low and 500 s/w. Might indicate how the low level baroclinic zone is being shoved south and the euro resolution is seeing this, but something to think about.

It is also why the euro has a mid level deformation and frontogenesis zone much farther north than you would think..hence that ribbon of QPF I mentioned earlier.
