Baroclinic Zone Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 ****ty cell phone shot but you get the gist. Heavy snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 1.8" here with pretty good snow growth from the weenie snow...hopefully can get past 2.0" as it looks to go for at least another 90 minutes or so. Nice band in SE MA...hopefully a lot of people can score 3" from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 S+ now. Looks like the ern CT into RI and se ma jackpots are going to happen. I thought maybe there might be a min in between...but pretty uniform or increasing as you go east. That's gonna be 4+" easily in se mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSnowman Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 But you rocked on 98.5! Thanks! I'll be calling in tomorrow. Hopefully they played the new song I gave them this week. So, I'm looking at the radar and the 4" seemed to happen in No more than an hour so either the radars I'm looking at suck, or this was God'd Band.... Help me out guys....

ORH_wxman Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 The models also tried to weaken the big band as it went east, which I didn't buy. I was mentioning to this Scott earlier tonight. It didn't make sense given the increasing inflow and LL convergence...sometimes the models get a bit too married to the upper level stuff and don't look at the low level stuff enough occurring near or just above the BL...they will give some weenie jackpots to the higher terrain, like they did in this case, but I thought E areas in RI and E MA had a better shot at 3" than I did.

This is where the meso models can be helpful, like the RSM. Time to measure. Snows are light now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 This is where the meso models can be helpful, like the RSM. Time to measure. Snows are light now. The RSM seems to do very well in these weird meso setups and windex setups (I remember the RSM absolutely nailed the 1/28/10 windex event)....the NAM is supposed to be a meso model and the best one at that...but it didn't show the intensifying over E MA as the RSM did...it tried to weaken it a bit after it crossed the ORH hills...and then not strengthen it again until it was over the Cape. Often in these setups, common sense and previous knowledge can trump a lot of models...since models are so heavily based on upper air dynamics which drives out wx more than anything..but in these particular instances, the upper air can not "see" some of the low level stuff going on, esp when the flow is weak up there.

The NAM certainly hinted at it with the instability showing up. Based on the 0.23" it looks like ratios were over 15:1 with this. Nice fluff job.

Nice fluff job. Yes it did...that is why we tell people to sometimes stop with the QPF fetish...we saw the instability parameters and thought there could be some pretty heavy bursts. The models can often pick this up, but it does not translate to the qpf...that is why some of us hate the QPF fetish, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
