weathafella Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Meh, the pattern flipped and we had another 12" to show for it. Scott, 12 inches now sounds like last year vs what we've experienced to date. I doubt we get that much in this flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 2nd wave on Fri looks like it drops 1-3 ..maybe 2-4 for many of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Maybe...kind of close to the coast. Weren't you talking about ASH, Merrimack, NH? We iced up well in Dec. '08 and I think ice made it nearly to the coast in NH then, didn't it? It's nearly impossible to predict an ice event, but I think the possibility exists with this complex system.

dryslot Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Surprised no one's mentioned the short wave that the NAM shows rotating through on Friday...

weathafella Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 not so sure about the 79-80 claim. according to co-op data from bedford (closest to where i reside): nov 79=0 dec 79= 2.7 jan 80 (up to 1/10): 0 (0.8 for entire month) so far this year, id say the oct storm gave us about 4". plus maybe 0.2 today. 4.2 > 2.7 I'm not in Bedford. BOS was much higher in 79-80 and we didn't get much in October. Thankfully I didn't experience that winter as I was in LA but I suffered 1994-95, 2001-02, 2006-07, and this. And #2 for tutility in 1972-73...yep...I was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 1.00-1.25" qpf up here on the Nam.. that should get you about 4 inches according to Forky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 that should get you about 4 inches according to Forky lol, Not hardly, Even at 6-7:1 its around 6-8", I think its a little better then that probably 8-9:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 All the discussion yesterday morning about how this was the first storm that actually looked like it had room to trend colder and deliver snow to much of interior SNE.

And the net result is basically the same as it's been bookended by some ice on front and back.. Those of us not plagued by IMBYism and multiple personality disorder can recognize that this storm has very much trended colder - classic CAD shown on the 12Z NAM ... as we get closer to the event. That essentially hasn't occurred this winter. Won't snow a flake where I am, but it is still fun to have a winter storm to track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 My gut def says dendrite to SW ME is the jackpot in this coming storm. But I think icing might be a significant issue in the ORH hills here after some front end snow. We'll have to wait and see. The modeling this winter has been pretty bad, so I have less confidence than usual. Even pattern recognition here is a bit iffy...we have things arguing for a colder solution with the great high location and CAD, but the putrid antecedent air mass before the storm offsets that a bit. Somebody as modeled could have decent icing in nrn CT and srn Berks into ORH county. But the risk is that it could still bump north. I know we've mentioned it before, but that is where that slightly elevated CAD signature comes into play. The coldest air is actually residing at 1000-1500 ft, and hangs onto it the longest. So even if the boundary layer climbs above freezing, you can still see a decent ice event at elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I see Arnold browsing. Looks like GYX added the dreaded IP with the snow into the point-click. I wouldn't be shocked if it happened. I think even the colder guidance verbatim right now still shows a period of IP for the interior coastal plain. I'm about to dive in and look a little closer at soundings, cross sections, etc., but the usual east of 1P1 to IZG to WVL look like the place to be.
