Ugh, all the heavy returns have washed out before getting here and we're stuck with just light to moderate snow. Think I might start a download of Sarah McLachlan's Greatest Hits.

This reminds me of you the night me and the other Ryan (from Atkison) were worried about whether school would be cancelled on the 4/1/11 storm...you told us to throw out the calculators...were getting creamed with a foot...I agreed. We got about 4"'of paste and school went on as planned lol. A lot of meltdowns and disaster posts that night too.

Haha that was a disaster. Got barely any sleep that night and even a cup of Dunks coffee with a turbo shot couldn't do the trick.

Was it 4/1/11 or like Feb. something/11 because 4/1/11 went as planned as far as I remember.

Yeah I got like 4 hours of sleep and went to school in a terrible mood after taking pics of the 3-4" of paste. I had a chem test which made everything that much worse. Terrible day.

2/2/11 was the storm with all the weenie 15-20" totals where Scott (coastalwx) and I were trying to fight off getting slammed by weenies for saying those totals were out to lunch because it was a classic WCB SWFE with a very obvious dryslot that would work in after 6 hours. But the models were obsessed with printing out 2" of qpf. It was one of those few times where it was easy to throw out the model qpf. Still a very good storm, but a lot of expectations in CNE were unreasonable.

Hate to say this storm can f*ck off so early but I don't know. The 12-18'' from BOX always seemed high but at this point I'm wondering if I'll hit 5.

No offense to BOX, but like we said...ain't happening.

I might be high for Will and def Ray. There were some red flags. It will work out for the Rev though. I think you still need to see what the stuff south of LI does. That still needs to work in.

0z hrrr prints out max precip in east slope of n orh hills over 4 inches qpf also for the western monads wow. paints the spine of the greens with 2.5 to 3 inches qpf up thru mansfield. with a few weenie spots (like near ryan/killington 3.5 qpf) n whites do well. and foothills nw of portland 3 inches qpf over large swath lol wow, SORRY to even post that garbage not that i believe it, it just serves to show upslope spots a bit better and where max qpf will be in general

i find the BTV 4km WRF to be pretty accurate on qpf totals wrt some events powder freak has shown on upslope snows.

here a more realistic weenie band of 1.5 to 1.75 over killington peak area and another peak over by wildcat mtn from upslope type snows.

look at 128 corridor boston North somewhat concerning to me, my gf's basement floods like a mother and it's printing out 3-3.5 qpf come on ? i hope not wow!

Yeah I'm pretty sure I remember the NAM printing out like 1.5'' of snow like the night of the storm which led to obvious disappointment.

Anyway it's SN here for the time being at least. Gonna need as much help as possible at this point it seems.

There was zero support for a 18-24 area. That was just ridiculous.

That was the 2 part storm where part 1 trended into a nice all day 1'"/hour 6-9" event. And the morning of 2/2 was a snow/sleet /slop/rain 2-4" mess.
