OKpowdah Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Anyone have snow depth data for the Northern Hemisphere? Anyone? That would be very interesting to look at right now considering portions of the region may have some of the highest snow depths in the northwest quadrant of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Picked up 6" total from this rare storm. Only about 30 mins of rain before the snow kicked in yesterday afternoon, but a 4 hour rain/ sleet change over in the middle of it all last night killed the chances of getting higher amounts. Good advance calls by the mets and enthusiests alike for this tricky once in a lifetime event. Hats off to all. I was right within my low end that was called by many (6-12), or in the middle of some other ranges called out (4-6), or even the high end of some others (3-6"). I will throw some photos up later. Phew just made it, you got more than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Guys OT, but what are the rough predictions from all of you for this winter? Are we heading into another good winter, average winter? Snowy? Ending early again or finally a full winter? LOL...kind of tough to say now that we had our first shot 45 days early.

OKpowdah Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 IMO and again I'm not political at all on this issue, but this is how I see global warming playing out. Adds more fuel to the fire so we can have these incredibly dynamic situations which in turn can produce out of season type events. I think we're entering a period of continued extreme weather events. I fully expect we are going to see a blizzard of 1888 proportions that when measured nowadays with the dense grid of observers will dwarf anything seen previously. There was fuel to the fire here because it was an anomalous trough digging south upstream of a well positioned 50/50 low which had ushered in a fresh cold airmass which clashed epically with the conveyor belt of warm moist air from the Atlantic as the low developed. Sorry, but I really cannot associate individual storms with unique circumstances to global climate change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp went back up to about 37F Phew just made it, you got more than me. lol. You beat me on the the Thursday snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Wow Foxboro 6.5" Brockton 3". Not bad for south of the city. I used to live in Stoughton, and that whole Stoughton/ Brockton area seems to be in a good spot for certain snow storms. Topography? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That helps, and also it's nicely tucked in away from the water. Also CF and OES contribute too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I really cannot associate individual storms with unique circumstances to global climate change. OT but I'm not relating it to individual storms. Look at the last x years, we've had more huge events coast wide and nationwide than at any time in modern recorded history. Again could be sunspot activity, ocean currents, coincidence etc, but I tend to doubt it. Seasonal volatility would be what I expect in a changing pattern, what causes it who knows. We'll see in the next xx years. I will bump my thread check it out Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All but gone now. I fully expected this though. That cf meant business. I was stuck in that 39/40f range for hours. I think the gfs verified better imby than any other guidance.

I think the gfs verified better imby than any other guidance. I think it went as planned. The lower levels were just too warm. Even the euro showed that. It has the lower 1000' pretty darn warm.
