Ginx snewx Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Good good. Just spoke with my wife she says its coming down hard and piling up. 10-14" is a done deal. Glad Chris is having fun you can't go wrong at the beast. Lol the guys I'm riding up with just turned this into the K-1 ganjala. Mt snow has a foot new too, nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Just an aside - apart from the Boston Metro, this storm was/is not a bust at all. Good totals along I-90 and back into the Cats/S Dacks... Greens/Whites/S ME all going to do fine. If Will is indeed at 7.5", he'll crack 10" which verifies at the high end (or higher) of most projections. Yeah I wouldn't call it that. I think most areas are getting about what most snowfall ranges had for them. I think for this area, it's more of a disappointment. However, if I can pull of an inch or two..it will fall into my lower expected ranges which is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 7-8 inches at Sugarloaf. Its coming down hard and has been since 5am. Awesome super light fluff. If anything it is snowing harder and harder. Hope with the way the radar is filling in we see double this up here in the mountains. Glad you're getting raked. My 6-ish guess for you was underdone ... better that than the other way around for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The GFS stuff is laughable. If you guys believe sincerely believe it was the best model for this storm..I think you may be in the wrong profession almost time to put you on ignore.

Yea the Beantown guys got screwed and so did Central CT from BDL West Hartford south but all in all pretty much what I expected. I can make one guaranteed statement, no hacky sack for WXWATCHER this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 it was those transition zones that were highlighted that were always the big question mark. though i really thought BOS up into NE MA would get hit harder. I feel the same way. I didn't expect 7-8" or anything, but I thought it would be a little better than this. It didn't help starting this off in a mini dryslot either. I know we mention the transition zone separating nudity from a toaster bath, but it was more of a meh deal for areas just north of the city. I guess 4-5" isn't all that bad though, considering they may pick up another 2" or so. The cold is slowly seeping south, probably on my doorstep at work right now.

Good point - which is why a bust in a highly populated area has such major ramifications for the public psyche. Here in NYC, a storm can miss by 10 miles and clip the Bronx but for the vast majority of the public, it's as if it never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctsnowstorm628 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Snow growth is absolutely horrendous up here right now.

dryslot Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 GYX latest thoughts......They threw kev a weenie NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... 1015AM UPDATE: HAVE LOWERED TEMPS OVER SRN AREAS 5-8 DEGS AS COLD AIR DAMMING CONTS. HEAVY SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA AT THIS TIME WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE FA IN BANDS. LATEST NAM COMING MORE INLINE WITH OTHER PREV MODELS WITH A FURTHERN N LOCATION OF MID/UPR LEVEL LOW AND ALSO IN GENERATING MORE QPF. LOOKING AT LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY/ENHANCED IR SHOWS A NICE ELONGATED BAND OF COOLING TOPS (POSSIBLE COMMA HEAD PATTERN) BECOMING ORGANIZED IN AN ELONGATED FASHION ABOUT 1-2 DEGS N OF WHERE THE MID/UPR LEVEL TROF AXIS EXISTS AND ALONG WHERE THE EWD TRACK OF MID LEVEL LOW WILL OCCUR. THIS WILL BE OUR FOCUS FOR THE AFTN INTO THIS EVNG WHERE A PERIOD OF HVY SNWS WILL ONCE AGAIN SPREAD ACRS THE AREA ESP FURTHER N AND OVER ERN AREAS. SEEMS THE OVERNIGHT EURO HAS A GOOD HANDLE ON SCENARIO FOR TNGT. SNOWFALL TOTALS IN THE MTNS MAY BE LOW BUT WILL LEAVE AS IS FOR NOW. ALL WSWARNINGS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AS IS ALTHOUGH TIMING MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED OVER ERN AREAS. STG LOW/MID LEVEL MOIST ELY FLOW OVER THE WATERS BEING LIFTED OVER THE COLD DOME WILL ALSO HELP ENHANCE SNOWFALL AMTS ALG CSTL AREAS THRU THE DAY ESP WITHIN THE 20 MILE CORRIDOR WEST OF THE COASTAL FRONT WHICH IS NOW WELL ESTABLISHED OFFSHORE AND SHOULD REMAIN STATIONARY. WILL MONITOR THE COASTAL AREAS FOR TOTAL SNOWFALLS AS WELL. OF NOTE: THE LATEST RADAR LOOPS SHOWING SOME LOW LEVEL GENERATION OF SNOW MOVING WNW INTO COASTAL AREAS. WINDS REMAINING MOSTLY IN THE 10-20 MPH RANGE WITH SOME GUSTS INTO THE 20S WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO CAUSE BLOWING AND DRIFINTG OF THE FLUFFY SNOW THROUGH THE AFTN AND EVENING.

Mr Torchey Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I still think metro boston sees *accumulating snow* later today as the ull moves east and we see a surface reflection south of the city, should be plenty to pull down some marginally cold air. That combined with some ocean enhancement hopefully leads to 1-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in NYC, a storm can miss by 10 miles and clip the Bronx but for the vast majority of the public, it's as if it never happened. It's been a good storm. It didn't help that the ocean is warm..that few degrees may have made the difference between Boston being 33 and snow vs 36 and slop. The banding of these storms is frustrating. This is yet another sheared event...we're actually ending up with 3 impulses with hopefully...fingers crossed a more robust redevelopment off the Cape Cod coast later today. By hook or crook it'd be great to cash in right at the end, we have the benefit of it coming in as the sun sets etc, temps cooling. Overal it's a low impact event and I think that's why some up north are saying it's boring. It's a protracted steady snow in most areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always am amazed when snow actually sticks in that concrete jungle, sh it even my little town center of Moosup with 15 buildings and sidewalks gets less snow than the surrounding country side.

Logan11 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The March 1st sun is a problem. Yesterday we had colder low levels, but today even at 1k feet here it's hovering near 32/32.5 and moderate snow is barely making any gains as it fights compression of the 9 inches of wet snow. This is one of those deals where I might end up reporting 11", but never have more than 9" depth which feels sort of like cheating, but those are the rules. Doesn't seem to bode too well for people to my east in northern Mass, etc... who don't have elevation. I'm sure Pete and MPM will gain some more. Snow growth is absolutely horrendous up here right now. Solid light snow has been falling all morning and if its amounted to more than an additional half inch in the last 3 hrs i'd be surprised... looks like 2.5" hoping to get 4" to get into my forecast range of 4-6" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
