Second Winter Storm Threat - Oct 29/30


Baroclinic Zone

Recommended Posts

I've never seen an October profile so cold for a coastal like this....ever. It looks like December except the SSts are like upper 50s.

WIll do you think I would do better with a GFS solution or something more like the NAM? I have the longitude to get away with the GFS I guess but seeing it that close makes me think I'd struggle since my elevation is kind of mediocre. I suppose middle ground like the ECM could be ideal.

GFS all the way baby.

Still having trouble believing it, the what can go wrongs keep falling by the wayside, hour by hour, run by run. I agree with you, best comma head snows Pete to Hunchie to Dryslut

Not much can go wrong this close in...maybe coastal area get too warm but its going to be historic for someone one way or the other.

Following models dating back to the AOL days and dialup, I can never recall anything even close to this. Pretty astounding.

I've been removed from most of the festivities of the last two winters. Time and time again the improbably is happening. So it's possible and apparently quite probable.

I think the GFS/GEFS are on drugs. Until the Euro goes the other way, the GFS is our Joe Biden.

I cannot either. This looks like a December storm on the models. I've never seen anything close to this good on the models before that. For October this is likely a once in a lifetime event for most of us....to see this is amazing. Even the Cape...without the snow threat...has a huge threat of 50-60 kt winds. Could be gusts to hurricane force with the warm SSTs helping mix down the winds.

What's weird Will is the depth of the cold. It's going to be colder throughout most of the storm even down here aloft to snow. Just too early in the season with 50s so close.

I wonder what is going on with the volatility. Like I said this is how I envision global warming but that's OT....increased volatility especially with regard to the changing seasons. Winters seem to be coming earlier, exiting earlier the last x or xx years.

I assume you're doing the euro run down?

It's 10/28 and I'm up watching models (while working) when at best I get some snizzle at the end, gotta love it. Just hoping it can come together for foxboro, will go stay up there during the height of it.

Yeah I'll do the Euro...for likely the biggest October snowstorm on record for most sites in SNE, I cannot avoid it.

I wonder if the fact that we do have such a warm ocean right along the shoreline (not just out in the Gulf Stream as if this was Dec/Jan) would put the best thermal boundary closer in and make this hug the coast more. Though I'm sure that's simplistic and the position of the trough, vort etc. are big players.

Cool thanks. Yep, this is one for the ages. Living on the water I'm accustomed to following from afar. I just like the history of the whole thing most of the time. Can we really be on the verage of a 1' snowstorm in October? Trick or treating with snow shovels...that's cool.

Beats me Rick. I don't think anyone can wrap their head around it. I saw Kevin L on Fox 25, he had the r/s line up by about Easton/Sharon for storm 2. He did not have it tucking into SE MA. Good call? Pending the new Euro probably because we had a hard time getting cold air penetration tonight on albeit weak dynamics into SE MA.

Actually it happened in ENY right around this date three years ago, though all confined to above about 750 ft elevation. Very dynamic wrapped low and 9" here at 1k feet with 26" the top amount in the Catskills.

Lol, wasn't it not too long ago I posted the 10/4/87 totals after you said October was a throw away month? :whistle:
