Baroclinic Zone Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 12Z ggem is similar to the Euro in that it keeps that southern piece of energy distinct as it rounds the base of the trough. GFS is getting there with this feature but still shears it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 As you stare in the face of what may be your best upslope event of the year, no sympathy here bro, enjoy. Let me set the record straight... I'm not complaining and don't think I've really complained yet this season. And for CTNor, we do not have it as bad as SNE. We are below average but only by like 25% right now thanks to meso-scale processes. We were bound to have a below normal winter but it hasn't been like its been down south, even if we do average more snowfall. BTV is certainly hurting. Anywhere outside of the northern Greens where we have the insurance of mountain effects providing snowfall. Check BTV's stats... snow to date is 26.2" and average is 49" right now. So they are at 50% of normal. Last year at this date they had 80.4"! I'm less than 20 miles as the crow flies from the BTV airfield and have had almost 40" more than them this winter (62-63"). J.Spin is even closer and has had even more snowfall. That's how localized this has been. I'd assume its the same for CTNoreaster, but I grew up in the Hudson Valley just south of Albany. That's a snow hole. I've never complained about a winter since moving up here because for 18 years I suffered through watching everyone east/west/north get more snow (like living in the CT River Valley). Its all relative and this has been a below normal winter so far, but we could easily catch up to normal with a couple well timed storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Nice, wwa up for philly, congrats! HRRR does not look half bad for the south coast. With that radar and the visibility reductions taking place now in PA from the snow... I don't see how you don't get out of this with at least a few hours of weenie snows. I know its forecast to weaken but that northern edge is pretty robust right now all things considered. Some areas are going from 10 mile vis down to 1/2 mile between observation times so it must be coming in like a wall in PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LES has also been awful this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that was well modeled out there, the issue is transfer of energy off the coast too far south and east, it will be interesting to watch this play out, just starting to cloud up down here.

Yeah I see on sat. pics that your area of GC is the one oasis of snow cover surrounded by 100+ miles of brown in all directions. LOL Lost some snow. Only 3 inches fell here while I was away.

ctsnowstorm628 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 LOL on Feb 8th in a spot that can get 50 inch March snows. Not in this pattern. And, personally, after march 1st is getting to the point where I'm ready for warmer wx, so unless its a monster like last 3/6-3/7 I could take it or leave it.

ORH_wxman Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 So close, yet so far on the Euro...I think a 1-2" general snow is probably the most likely outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
