MaineJayhawk Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Deduct 30% NAM QPF output on principle and then deduct another 30% because it's been huffing glue this season. I will keep my 3-5" forecast for the greater Limington metroplex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorEastermass128 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 what does NAM have verbatim for Boston and its suburbs? Verbatim...probably 3-5" of paste. EURO has nothing, so take it fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I haven't bit on advisory snow yet...I'm sticking with 1-3" for now. But as we get closer, I'm becoming a bit more skeptical of the Euro. Agreed. I'm thinking a 1-3 kind of deal. If the 18z GFS ticks juicier I'll be a bit more excited.

NorEastermass128 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 So if this were to happen..it starts snowing like 3::00- 4:00 am and just bangs down from like 5:00-8:00 ish? Who cares? It's NOT going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as we get closer, I'm becoming a bit more skeptical of the Euro. It just looked funny. I wouldn't have been shocked if it had something less than the GFS, but it had virtually nothing through 15z. But even if it's wrong..I wonder if it's smelling out something. On the other hand, there is the NAM and even if that is kooked out..it's a decent thump for your area. For my sake, I hope the GFS or NAM is closer because I mentioned some wintry precip in my TAF. Luckily it was the morning issuance..lol. I'll just save it for the next shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm glad you guys down south are looking at some snowfall.... man look at this thread come alive.

CapturedNature Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'll be driving right past Tolland mid day tomorrow. You could always stop off in Union and visit the famous Traveler's Restaurant is you're hungry and want a free book: http://www.hiddenbos...Restaurant.html Agreed. And even such, the ground has been so warm....the last ice melted off a pond I drive by in Somers every day today - how much can it really stick? There's still frozen ponds in Stafford...one right on Rte 190 by Chelle's. Still, the ground is warm....almost 40° at 4" by my house this morning.

And even such, the ground has been so warm....the last ice melted off a pond I drive by in Somers every day today - how much can it really stick? I always think warm ground before storms is over rated. Given 12 hours of darkness before the storm if it snows in earnest it will stick pretty easily in my opinion.

It just hasn't been below 32 for over 48 hours here - which is extremely uncharacteristic for this time of the year. But hopefully you are correct.

But hopefully you are correct. Warm ground is a zero issue if you get decent snowfall intensity....it might be an issue if you are stuck at 33F light snow for hours...but if you are thumping moderate to heavy snow at 31F, the day before could have been 75F and it really wouldn't matter that much. Hopefully the Euro is too light because then we might have 33F light snow problems...but that in itself means you weren't really missing much anyway.

CoastalWx Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Well we'll see what the GFS does. Hard to shake the euro, though. Even if it is too lean with the QPF, you have to wonder if the WAA precip does get cutoff pretty quick as it slides ne from NY State. I guess that's the part that concerns me. Obviously the NAM does not do this, but you have to wonder. I'd feel better if the GFS didn't cut back at 18z, and the other guidance does argue for something a little more robust, which I can agree with...although not like the NAM.
