Baroclinic Zone Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 honestly, i'd be somewhat surprised if there are widespread reports of >3". hopefully SE MA or the Cape can top those numbers (for my own personal satisfaction) but i'm not even too confident in that right now given some of the things that could go wrong. I was thinking 3-4" tops for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see a narrow area in between Bob and the canal maybe doing it...maybe cstl pym county a little later as temp drops and some weak OE stuff tries to come in. Winds aloft briefly turn ne too. I'm glad you agree. Kevin is hellbent on believing I'm trying to dumb it down, but as mets...we see some things that kind of make us pause. I'm not sure why it's so hurtful to talk about that. There are a few positives too, that we talked about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Best post of this thread. This is true Mixing is through the roof on Sunday and with some decent CAA...could see widespread wind gusts of 45-55 mph possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropopause_Fold Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I was thinking 3-4" tops for me. yeah i think 3-4" for your area is good...certainly the potential for a bit more if things break right. the way last night's euro continued to handled this whole thing kind of concerns me but given everything else available those numbers are fair.

Even though the last BOX map said 4-6 for RI/SE Mass the AFD around 10am makes it a more 2-4 event, and they left the door open for a sudden shift or some good banding in SE Mass. But if you want to be a weenie Margusity is still calling for his 6-12 in S RI/ SE mass lol, throwing Sh_T at a wall to see if it sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Just ran over to 7-11, town trucks plows on and ready to go, putting the brine down on the roadways, love the closing hours leading into a snow event, just getting the first cirrus showing up on the sw horizon.

SouthCoastMA Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I think 2-5" for SE MA is a safe range at this point..with jackpots to 6" possible. Nowcasting is going to be fun with this storm, given the fact that models haven't quite pinpointed the exact location/path of the low pressure. Will it be closer to the convection from the southern vortmax or will it tuck a bit northwestward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I could see a narrow area in between Bob and the canal maybe doing it...maybe cstl pym county a little later as temp drops and some weak OE stuff tries to come in.

I'm not sure why it's so hurtful to talk about that. There are a few positives too, that we talked about. Honestly,Scooter..not at all. I guess I just see more positives than negatives with this. I don't see it being a miss..or just flurries and light snows..We're only off by a couple inches between our calls. This is going to have some surprises with it,,and I think the models(esp the meso models) are showing that fairly clearly. As usual there are going to be some lucky areas that get under some decent bands(wherever the norlun sets up) and some folks that might get screwed with an inch.. Again just MO and I know that's not worth much on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I see so many ranges of 2-5'' out there...that's such a high range. Almost hard to NOT be wrong with something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've gotten 25" or so BUF...woefully below normal. Thanks, guys. It's not perfect...I'd rather get a NWS career job...but it's a hell of a lot better than living with my parents being a pharmacy tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Can't see the UKMET surface maps? Aloft pretty similar to the GFS but maybe the GFS a bit more robust with moisture - guessing based on RH in the upper fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friedmators Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 LOL. Connecticut is incredible. All that prep for 2"? The dusting we got down here in CNJ the other day was a real mess in the morning. Amazing what some below freezing temps and a little bit of snow can do to the less travelled and untreated roads. More likely their budget is almost unused for the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 My boss called me this morning regarding tomorrow to let me know that the school I work at is the ONLY one that is on for the morning. I asked him how much snow does it take for them to cancel basketball and he said it all depends...he knows I'm into the weather and asked me what I thought so hopefully they aren't listening to the 5-10'' snowfall forecasts and the more conservative forecasts b/c I don't want to lose 9.5 hours of work.

I'm not sure why it's so hurtful to talk about that. There are a few positives too, that we talked about. yeah it just is what it is. as progged, there's just not a whole lot of forcing over central and western areas and the air mass is marginal. it's not like 1/21 when we had that frigid air mass that responded nicely to very modest WAA (away from the south coast) and squeezed out some "ok" snows. it's certainly possible that most are able to pick up a couple/several inches if things fall into place...that said, if i had to wager whether things are going to bust one way or the other, i'd be expecting a bust low vs high for a good chunk of real estate.

All that prep for 2"? it is pretty funny...if it were a school day they'd all be closed with a 2 hr delay the following day....silly stuff for New England although this year I am sure the road crews are anxious to get out and have some fun....
