Oh...is it only coastal plain snows that are called KUs? I thought Valentines Day had a rating of 3 out of 5 on their scale. I didn't know you can't use that term if its an interior bomb.

Your confusing NESIS scale with KU but VD may qualify. That said, if NYC/BOS get 13 inches, PHL/DC 8, its a KU.

If BTV and Bumf*ck mountain each get 29 inches, it's not.

Dude...why are you so insecure? lol

You're built like a brick $hit house.....carry yourself as though you realize that, and they will chase you.

Make it known you're interested...and then dissapear for the most part.

That is how you get them.

LOL you missed my sne coastal girl tip decoded analogy earlier....go back a couple pages :lol:

looks like it's related to initialization for this run.   Every site was 20% to 30% reduced, unilaterally; usually that kind of whole-scale correction means the input data was different.  Not saying wrong, necessarily, but different definitely.   Could see the 00z bounce those number half back up again so I wouldn't hold you breath on these 18z NAM numbers.

Ahhhh that's it. I was thinking NESIS...my bad.

So much animosity towards the mountains and interior over the past month or so from the BOS crowd...can't say I blame ya though lol.

I'm sorry we got off topic lol, what a dysfunctional family.

I thought nw ct got smoked in the 78 bizzard, the minimums were farther east in the ct river valley and even they had 15 to 20 inches

there were some totals in western/nw ct in the feb 03 storm close to two feet, i remember my sister saying she had just under 2 feet in an elevated part of Danbury.

Apologies for the newb post but what does KU stand for?

 

Kocin/Uccellini...the authors of the original east coast snowstorm book (of which there have now been more volumes added). A KU storm refers to the types of storms featured in their book(s). They focus on large snowstorms that hit major east coast cities.

since we are way off topic...boston may be in a slump but they get the kind of dumps that snow lovers dream of...thunder snow and three to four plus inch hr rates and boston has had more 18 inch plus storms than i care to remember with more than enough over two feet and back in the 17 and 1800s probably legit storms over 30 inches esp the way most weenies measure these days..

 

Boston will get buried again and when they do many of us will be watching the radar with envy.
