OKpowdah Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Taunton ... THINKING A FEW PLACES COULD SEE 3 INCHES OF SNOW...WHICH WOULD TRIGGER A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN MA...CT OR RI. LOL 3" would trigger an advisory? They seriously have gone soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorEastermass128 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Taunton ... LOL 3" would trigger an advisory? They seriously have gone soft. 2-4" is the minimum for an advisory (for just snow) here in SNE. Right now this is a nuisance 1-3" with the potential to deliver 2-4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Taunton ... LOL 3" would trigger an advisory? They seriously have gone soft. They really have. 3" of fluffy snow...you can get that from some snow showers. I love when you see BOX put out advisories for 2-4" or warnings for 4-7". Then you see ALB issuing Advisories for 4-8" lol. I understand the criteria is lower but it's almost insulting to New Englanders who should be hardy and very used to snow. Especially SNE where some of the country's worst winter storms hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 2-4" is the minimum for an advisory (for just snow) here in SNE. Right now this is a nuisance 1-3" with the potential to deliver 2-4" They even said "a few places" not like widespread 3"+ amounts. After that advisory statement that said 1-2" of snow earlier this winter I wouldn't doubt widespread advisories are issued for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It may be moving too quick to deliver those 4-5" amounts, but here is a playout of what to expect. You can see by 00z we start to bring the snow into the area. There may be some weenie light snows ahead of the main band. By 03z the lift is getting going and probably widespread light to mdt snow at this point. Look at 06z, just east of BOS. At some point, this may develop one or two bands of mdt snow..maybe briefly heavy as this comes by. It's moving along pretty quickly so I think a general 1-3" should do it with maybe spot higher amounts of 3"+. This should have good ratios.

powderfreak Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yeah given the speed someone will need to be ripping +SN for 2-3hrs to get to 4-5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKpowdah Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 An advisory is >3" averaged over a zone in CT,RI,MA. But I don't remember them ever springing advisories for 2-4" of fluffy snow. 3-5" sure. But that widespread 3-5" is NOT happening. It'll be 1-3" with the usual suspects racking up 5" of 20:1 fluff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be 1-3" with the usual suspects racking up 5" of 20:1 fluff I think I've seen BOX do advisories for 2-4" several times. The impact is just so low though with fluffy snow. Cars clear the roads just by driving by. I could see maybe if they were expecting widespread 3-4" with a couple hours of 1-2" rates during rush hour but this event is not worth it. The public goes apesh*t thinking a snowstorm is coming only to get 1.75" of broom snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This snow will accumulate on roads easily, but like you said, cars whip this fluff off the roads as they drive by. It's pretty cool driving behind someone leading through fresh fluff ... you can see eddies of snow trailing long behind the tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Unfortunately Nam looks kind of meh for tomorrow night. Still looks like a decent band will move through with 1-2"+, but I'd be worried if I made a 4-5" call, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
