NorEastermass128 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 well i wouldn't be expecting much on the coastal plain. you'll definitely want elevation and latitude overall. Latitude check...elevation uncheck. I am on a hill though. About 150' elevation IMBY. Although coastalwx did say that Ray's area could be in a spot for a surprise couple inches. I'm not too far away.

weatherMA Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I can't ever remember a "snowstorm" where we had 50s and rain showers the day before. 50s and sunny,sure. But I can never remember having 50-55, overcast, and showery the day before snow falling. But, I'm pretty young so it might have happened multiple times.

Tropopause_Fold Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Latitude check...elevation uncheck. I am on a hill though. About 150' elevation IMBY. well by latitude...i mean more like C/NNE. lol. i wouldn't be expecting some huge event anywhere in SNE - but given this looked like strong southerlies and 60F+ possible a few days ago...big change. and i wouldn't be surprised if combo of snow/sleet/ice is enough to warrant an advisory for parts of the higher terrain of C and W MA.

Tropopause_Fold Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 there is a sneaky warm layer on the GFS that races in around 800 mb. so if you really wanted to dig into details (only bothering because this is the most boring winter ever) on this model run...by 12z >.25" of precip has fallen in W MA and a good chunk of C and W CT, but not all of that would be snow. some would be sleet.

It eventually gets almost all the way to Mt Washington - the warm layer. RGEM does the same, torching VT but sparing upper NH and Maine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 RGEM/GFS want to get the mix way north before it all collapses after 36 hours. Not a big front end thump at all on the RGEM way north, but it looks like it does well on the flip. Not that exciting. NAM is totally the other way about 300 miles further south with the cold air.

dryslot Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm afraid to even look at the euro, but given the fact that it only had .10-.15 last night I think it would be difficult to be worse today at 12z....I think Yes, It was nothing to do cart wheels over as far as qpf, Looks like we caught in the transistion of primary to secondary transfer up here..

It looks to me that all the meaningful qpf falls as snow on the gfs for the MA/NH border N. It might get warm enough for rain, but there's only like .1 or so that falls as rain. I would be surprised if MA/NH border north didn't see advisories and even northern ORH is borderline being that this falls during commute time.

Dude where the hell are you getting these distances? 150-200 miles? 300 miles? The CT coast to the Canadian border is only 250 miles... so you're saying the RGEM has the 850 to Montreal?

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 You are going north. How can you not be happy to have fresh snow OTG??? I don't think the RGEM is as promising as most of you, same with the GFS. Bretton Woods would be fine, Plymouth NH going to be tight. Front end thump is dying as it moves north, will need to rely on the redevelopment. Dude where the hell are you getting these distances? 150-200 miles? 300 miles?

Analyzing it and saying its warmer then we are saying it is is one thing, but saying its a 300 mile difference is a little bit of an exaggeration. It was supposed to be 200 miles. I'm deeply sorry I missed a digit. By the afternoon Friday the GFS has the 1000-850cts into Canada along the VT/NY border. The NAM is down around Hudson NY. Massena to Hudson is about 200 miles...and Massena ain't Canada. Beyond about 18-24 hours the NAM is useless, unless the Euro agrees with it, toss it. Most of the snow has already fallen at that point, the big difference is if the NAM is right it's going to fall further south in terms of the max amounts. GFS keeps the primary going and a bit stronger driving the warm air further north, it doesn't get much further though than CNH....even on the GFS.

There is a huge difference in sensible outcome. For instance, nam bufkit has 7.7" for MHT and 3.6" for ORH, even .7" for BOS. I highly doubt that happens. GFS bufkit isn't out yet but I bet it will be like 4-5" for MHT, 2" for ORH, and nothing for BOS, probably a much more reasonable outcome. Even that may be too high though.

I really did screw up the number 3 v 2, sorry about that. In reality it doesn't matter "much" ...but obvioiusly if the NAM is way too cold it'll have the best forcing way too far south which is I think the likely case right now...waiting on the Euro which will ultimately tell the tale I think.

weatherMA Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Must be a sneaky warm layer, because gfs bufkit has 1.3" for ORH but nothing for MHT. It shows 4 straight hours of RA/SN mix from 11z to 15z with no accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Bos will get nothing,i would be surprised if we even see any flakes. I could see a lot of RASN or even a 34F snow for a bit. GFS/NAM blend seems to argue for 1-2 at ORH and then 3-4 near the NH border. We'll see what the euro says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 This euro run kinda blows. Looks like even weaker forcing than 00z at quick glance on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
