N. OF PIKE Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Areas west of 93/95 are still in good shape. I'm right on the border of that line right now but I'll be to the east of that line soon enough. . Bl torched alread for bos and imm. Coast. Se NH will have sharp cf but longitude in sne will beat latitude ( within 10 miles of coast) well into ne mass . Somewhere on the western edge of cf in n mass will prob have power issues from heavy mash'd potatoes. Can't wait to see where r/s line sets up in ne mass. Right now I'm sitting at 18f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Yeah I'd be very surprised if salem-atkinson-haverhill only got 1-3". I agree with 5-8. Glad you agree. Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if were talkin bout within 5 miles of coast, I'd say that's accurate. Salem isn't NH coast. Newbury,mass extreme n mass coast is 36/31.5. Not much accum likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinWX Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'll echo the E MA obs...37/29 here in Lynn. Hourly roundup has a lot of the coastal plain 36 or above...yikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apm Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Yeah, we're toast. So much for the suspense; it's already raining in Cambridge. MIT Green Bldg (the tall one right on the Charles with the big radar globe on top): 36.7 / 32, ENE/E winds... thanks to marine influence, we don't need to wait for warm advection aloft it's ovah before it started in Boston metro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 No surprise here, when Nate questioned why mets were so low for BOS...here you go. We know this area. The area from Jerry to 128 could still get some accumulation when the meat of the band comes. The atmosphere will cool, but not much hope here near the water.

Is it the easterly component to the wind that is the killer this go-round? I mean, it does snow in Boston from time to time. And it does not need to be sub-zero to do so.

N. OF PIKE Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Currently the immediate coast seems to be holding cold from about n Hampton,NH north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it does not need to be sub-zero to do so. The airmass sucks a the surface and aloft. It's just not cold enough. You need a good -3C or so at 950. It's barely 0C.

wxsniss Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I know a 12/30/00 when I smell one...lol I had to remind myself... my walking meteorologic memory is not anywhere as good as yours lol Yeah great analogy for eastern SNE... (of course NYC / NJ won't be anywhere close to foot+ totals, and central MA / NH / VT look to get pounded tonight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 This is nothing like 12/30, only that we have east winds. 12/30 destroyed NYC and NNJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 l2/16/07 featured a long duration snow (8 inches before the change) at BOS with an east wind. But the difference is of course in the antecedent airmass. That was probably 2 standard deviations below normal cold. This one was just about normal. You need deep cold for these to work out with late December SST and we don't have that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Always Sunny Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Is it the easterly component to the wind that is the killer this go-round? I mean, it does snow in Boston from time to time. And it does not need to be sub-zero to do so. Usually with clippers BOS gets snow just due to the wind field of it. This was one of those that came from the SW and up the coast with that E wind.

teebrdsfan Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 . Well if were talkin bout within 5 miles of coast, I'd say that's accurate. Salem isn't NH coast. Newbury,mass extreme n mass coast is 36/31.5. Not much accum likely I'm new to the area and still learning like I've said. Is climo really that much different between NE MA where not much snow is forecast and SE NH where away from the coast could get 6-8"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Agree that Ray's area / Wilmington / NE Mass will be a key battleground tonight... potential for busts either way depending on where CF sets up. Good luck to all who are getting snow tonight! Will be fun to watch voyeuristically from Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 This is nothing like 12/30, only that we have east winds. 12/30 destroyed NYC and NNJ. Yes but the east winds may kibosh any front end snow we get this time so in that sense it's similar. Of course it's a different synoptic setup...I'm not an idiot. (actually I am...)

Ryan Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 To be completely honest...I didn't even notice that until I saw it on here. I'm too IMBY central haha. But yeah, that's terrible for the NH/ N MA coast. You aren't getting 1-3". 5-8" is more like it. Who's on tonight? You've talked to most of them, so can't we just call them up and have you do the broadcast instead? Haha! Gutner was on 4, Harv on 5, PB and JR on 7, TK on NECN, not sure of Fox.

It's Always Sunny Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 MUR map for east coast of MA is overdone Boston southwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 And what Scott said w/ lack of cold air in place before system moves in . I mean we ripped S+ on 1/11/11 when BOS was 32-33 but of course the low went SE off of ACK and the airmass aloft was plenty cold. SO, you just need a good antecedent airmass.

Except for eastern Mass, I agree. They obviously aren't focusing on that area though so it should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 MUR map for east coast of MA is overdone Boston southwards. Frankly I think they just ignored that whole area even though it's on the map. Many TV mets do that for areas outside of their viewing area (which is annoying). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx2fish Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 MUR map for east coast of MA is overdone Boston southwards. Their main concern is in NH, I dont think the meant to impy 6-10 for kbos just didnt finish the southern end of the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
