Bob Chill Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Earthlight saying 12z Euro is a weenie wet dream in the NYC subforum. Oh Christ, I can see it already. Historic northern MA and SNE Oct snow and we get 3 flakes as the rain tapers off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Oh Christ, I can see it already. Historic northern MA and SNE Oct snow and we get 3 flakes as the rain tapers off. It's possible, but everyone's going to have boundary layer temp issues. Hence elevation will help and those of us in the lowlands need some big dynamics (which a bombing storm can provide) to help. Just recall that the PSU Hoffman storm last year had similar concerns right up until gametime. Yes I realize that was late January instead of later October, but we were expecting that to be a highly elevation dependent storm up until about 24hrs out. Temps were still a bit above freezing in the lowest couple hundred feet for the entire snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 09-10.....they had 10-11......i don't want them having 11-12. If it's not going to be good here then I hope it's not good up there either.

I think that's true but north of us has a better chance to get accumulations since they start out colder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was talking about the DC-BOS corridor specifically, and I think all the major I-95 cities are going to have similar issues, except maybe BOS.

mattie g Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 This is kind of cool actually Very cool. But it doesn't snow in October, and snow doesn't stick if the ground is warm or the sun is high or the birds wizz in it, so there's no reason to really follow it.

WxUSAF Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Just a "There's Always a First Time" anecdote... When I lived in central TX a few years ago, the MM5 was calling for 4-5" of snow for the upcoming Sunday on a Friday morning. This was in early April (Easter weekend). That would not only have shattered the latest measurable snowfall on record, but would also be one of the largest snowfalls in the area in over a decade. We all had a good laugh at work that Friday. Sunday morning there was 4" of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that snowfall in TX, temps were in the 70s a couple days before. We hadn't had a sub-freezing temperature in weeks. If the atmosphere is suitable for snowfall, than it can snow. If it snows steadily enough to cool down the immediate surface rapidly, then it will accumulate. Doesn't matter if it's June or January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I feel like I'm learning a lot by following this thing. The folks drawing comparisons to other storms is really helping me get my head around things, as is the breakdown of models, discussion about soundings, etc. Doesn't make me any less of a weenie, though.

PhineasC Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 The models really seem set on this being a legit event, albeit minor and sloppy. We'd be excited for this marginal setup in the middle of January. It feels like winter on the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
