Start as snow here?

Well there was Christmas 2002 ....huge one for us out here.... Another very big Noreaster a few weeks later in January 2003.

I thought it might have been the Christmas one. I had used the storm as a reason not to travel to Marblehead. To this day, my wife holds it against me as the year without a Christmas. She and I along at home. Me looking at the models/Eastern wondering when the hell the snow would start. I keep reminding her that we ended up with 18" of snow and it's a good thing we didnt' make the trip. Still in the doghouse.

Apparently this area got 30 inches on Xmas 2002.... I got 18" below ALB were I still resided at the time.

Initially the 7H low sets up rather far west and that offers us our best shot of good snow, but not a great position for snow in SNE in the early going. Then as it bombs off the coast the whole show shifts to NE and overnight I'd assume is when everyone over there can flip to good snow. By then we are west of the best action, but maybe still getting in on some lesser banding.

Yeah I agree with that. I think you guys will do OK.

Morning Y'all....just got into work here at the Bow Power Plant...noticed on my drive in from Manchester most of the trees still have all their leaves....should be interesting...any changes for Southern NH in the overnight?

coffee and reading the overnight thread....still think we do well.dendrite says 5-8 for him, nws says 6-12. nothing radical has changed....cold here! 26 now. the question for us s whether we can into the good band

I'm not so sure it will be wet. I'm concerned for areas like Ray and even up here at work...down into the 128 area. That area will have a much wetter snow.

I'm thinking that while we might not have fine powder here that the ratios wil pretty 'ordinary'. I "think( it's going to be a good run of the mill snowstorm for up here.

As I'm typing this, the sun just broke the horizon. I just realized how far south it's rising these days. I have a pretty far vantage point from here. We have high cirrus overhead. Looks pretty clear to the east and broken overcast to the SE. South west looks solid overcast. Given start times, I imagine these will b efilling in pretty dar quickly.

29.8/27

I wonder if we will see blizzard warnings somewhere in se nh, s me or ne mass. GYX has a great discussion this am (Arnold?) and they basically say that the wet nature of the snow will not lower visibility enough despite the fact that winds will meet criterial in some spots. I think at the peak of the storm it is quite possible that it will be a drier more powdery snow and in fact there will be blizzard conditions. I would think these areas would be those areas that are close enough to the coasts to get frequent gusts of 30 but enough inland to have drier snow.

I also like their forecast of a general 6-12 with locally higher amounts. This is with 9 or 10:1 ratios. In the mega deform band won't ratios be a good bit higher given temps in the snow growth zone? Seems that some of those locally higher amounts will be 18+
