ctsnowstorm628 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 The northern s/w is a little slower vs 12z, but it just gives us the confluent middle finger. Yeah I was just saying in general it's just too fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 This storm is going to be like watching a train wreck evolve over about 48 hours. One year in the 80s I literally sat on the Beach at Misquamicut RI and watched it snow hard on Block Island, think they ended up with 8 inches while I sat in the sun 6 miles north. sharp cutoff. great week POS and OTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 This storm is going to be like watching a train wreck evolve over about 48 hours. Like 2/6/10 all over again? The worst, most agonizing part of that one was watching wave after wave of heavy snow get eaten up by dry air, and then seeing a huge band set up literally 10 miles south of me. Maybe this one can set up further south so it's not quite as agonizing. I think though that our area still has a shot, although it diminishes big time if the 0z and 12z suites tomorrow don't show a big turnaround. If they still show these sheared out solutions I'll toss the towel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot even begin to explain it. Even when the apparent pattern isn't horrific there are things that conspire/timeout against us.

weatherMA Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Meh, I'd love it to snow but unlike Ray I enjoy tracking the storm even if its in the mid Atlantic. I'd rather the mid Atlantic get crushed rather than the storm go ots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah people do not believe it but it is true, it snows where it wants to snow, over and over and over. I bet my house Eastern Romania does not see 15 feet of snow in one month next year. Some years it just wants to snow even in the worst shi t pattern possible , other years total blah. I am just glad this did not fizzle at hour 24, long lead OTS mucho better on the soul.

danstorm Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We will always have Halloweenie That storm caused me 3-4K in roof damage to my car (range because I have not repaired it) ... so it goes down as a pretty awful storm in my book. When my mind thinks back to it, I don't think of snow as much as I do 1) Uberfreak Event, 2) Massive Power Outages, 3) Fight with GF for dragging her from NYC to Ridgefield for it, 4) having 15" reported in my hometown by a friend but never measuring more than 9.5 myself, 5) having to smack snow off the Japanese Maples every hour so they wouldn't croak, and 6) ... did I mention my poor Honda Accord???

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'd argue their winter has sucked a bit worse than ours. Not sure it's worse than the Boston area's. I avg about 62.5" and I have 15". This threat is on life support....if the 00z suite doesn't budge, then I give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxsniss Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 some thoughts: (1) my own inexperience: I just can't believe with such potent southern stream energy emerging off NC/VA, a +NAO, a poorly positioned high pressure and weak-appearing confluence, and at least 3 pieces of energy to interact with in the northern stream, that this wouldn't track even further NW than the bomb GFS runs... I expected the Euro to flip further NW when it eventually would catch on to a phase, and I was wrong. (2)That said, I'm still holding out hope. With so many northern stream pieces of energy, we still have a slight chance at a phase to bring home a bomb. Models can shift dramatically with 48hrs to go. And as always, give me futility, or give me blockbuster. (3) the suckiness of this winter feels inescapabe: Astonishing to look back at the euphoria and confidence that most had here, including many Pros / Mets (no need to list names, but the posts are all there), Tues PM-Wed AM. This seemed to be the best signal we've had, if not one of the best synoptic setups, for a SNE snowstorm. The mood was this would be different from all the previous miraculous fails we've had, including Feb 11. Yet another miraculous fail: northern stream energy was too fast to phase, slow enough to push away the southern stream energy. (4) neweathereye = SnowNH (with an eye infection) (5) big props to Messenger, WxWatcher91, ORH, CoastalWx, TT, Snowgoose69, Ginx, Dendrite, Earthlight, CapeCodWeather and others... totally awesome analyses throughout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
