ORH_wxman Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I was just parsing Alaska climo, brutal Nov in 56. Our Jan 57 was 23.2 in Boston, wow cold. What was the snow total in ORH 56/57 65.6" but tight gradient. Ashburnham MA had 92". BOS had 52.0". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 65.6" but tight gradient. Ashburnham MA had 92". BOS had 52.0". Thanks, that was a cold month of Jan, close to some of the coldest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Thanks, that was a cold month of Jan, close to some of the coldest. Dec 1956 was a torch but it still had pretty good snow with over 18" in ORH and over 15" in BOS. We managed to get several snow events in a bad pattern, so we can always hope the same happens this early December should this pattern come to fruition. The only thing is it didn't have that horrific vortex over AK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowNH Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 It looks like the NAM is going to show a weenie solution here after seeing the 12hr panel. The vort is a lot stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 No suprise the nam is coming around, this will be a suprise to many, late afternoon early evening snow bomb for a couple hours, enough to coat all the way to the coast, temps crashing.

Deep cold and snow should promote excellent radiant cold highs to build up there. Let's limp through the next couple of weeks or so and take one for the team so we get the goods when we really want it. Still so very early.

The only thing i a smoke is usually a good cuban cigar, The GFS and Euro both had some flakes here with the Nam being the outlier, Even then we were not talking a whole lot other then a dusting if we got real lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah BL temps have to cool even after the mid-levels get cold enough...again, my call is probably a slushy coating in the hills. WeatherMA might get a few slush balls to stick to the car windshield while I get a coating on the mulch. Maybe WaWa can pick up a half inch or an inch.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 NAM is awful for any snow tomorrow night. It actually looks like Phil has the best shot at seeing flakes. Yep everyone will look at the 18z maps and think it's good to go but it's too warm down low. By the time it cools enough the only ones with meaningful precip are down here and our lower layers will make it tough. I fully expect we will see decent falling snow down here but not accumulating if the NAM came to fruition. I could see a windshield and woodchip coverer occuring down here. Nam is much improved from 18z That's like saying the economy is better now than in 2008. It's all relative and the NAM is still mostly nothing with little time left.

The NAM is not much of anything in terms of snow, totally agree. We'll see what the others bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The 12z Nam has already failed qpf wise up here as it had me a .10" I am at .25" so far more in line with the 12z GFS.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there are still some piles. They were extremely impressive right after the storm. The piles looked they usually do mid-winter after a few storms in a row.

CoastalWx Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 This is probably going to be a lot of 34-35F snow at the end. Sometimes these have a good burst and you can get more, but I wouldn't really throw around accumulations of greater than an inch. If anything, it's probably more of a bigger deal for se areas that really haven't seen the snow that areas n&w have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
