Certainly spent a lot of time doing so and it's what I focused on yesterday. To be honest once we thought lower qpf would be the rule yesterday afternoon we shrunk the 3-6 zone to cover less area. LOL I have said a million times you guys are the best in CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Spent some time at Wachusett with my daughter (and son) for her first ski lesson. Off and on drizzle became steadier drizzle after her lesson finished and we headed to the car. Back home we had some very light drizzle turn into parachutes for a few minutes. Has everyone congratulated Blizz for sticking with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was nice. Pretty much in tune with Ryan's morning forecast yesterday. Almost 2 feet for us so far and it's only mid-January. Can't complain about that, but I will complain about any rain that we've had since Christmas because that's what I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Around 2" final up here... Now the forecast has heavy upslope snow squalls in it late tonight and tomorrow morning. Hopefully we can double today's snowfall with the arctic front. Could end up with 3-6" for a 24 hour total here around 10-11am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radarman Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 On 1/16/2013 at 7:19 PM, OceanStWx said: This is the battle we as meteorologists wage. It wasn't billed as a big storm because it isn't a big storm. It's a sandard advisory type snow event, nothing really all that special about it. If we were to play up the significance of the storm we run into problems when a big nor'easter really tracks up the coast. That's how you end up with tornado emergencies and the like, "no this time we really mean it." On 1/16/2013 at 7:19 PM, dendrite said: We all lead busy lives now. Rush rush rush. There's not enough time in the morning to allow yourself an extra 20-30 mins to get to where you need to go. People get perturbed when they can't drive 80mph. On 1/16/2013 at 7:23 PM, CoastalWx said: NWS can't fix stupid. If people want to drive 80mph on snow covered roads....no warning or advisory will fix it. On 1/16/2013 at 7:24 PM, ORH_wxman said: Snowing at 1-2 inches per hour during rush hour during an advisory event might as well be a 12" snowstorm...that's what we had this morning. Bad timing creates havoc since people often just see that they are only supposed to get 4" of snow and don't look at when it might fall or how intense. On 1/16/2013 at 7:28 PM, Ginxy said: impact based warnings in the future? advisory is to warning like Ball Park is to Stadium, seems so mellow. I remember very well the travelers advisory, I knew I was fuked for heavy snow. Good discussion. 12/13/07 was similar in that a rush hour was affected, albeit with higher totals and heavier impact. Some days no matter how well you communicate with transportations chiefs and EMs there just can't be enough crews out there to keep things orderly. On days like that state gov might consider offering incentives to employers to encourage telecommuting. Also, I wonder if in the winter months the FOs would consider a traffic discussion, similar to the aviation discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the nice things around here when the roads are snow-covered is that all the f*cking potholes are filled in (VT's state roads are in pretty sorry shape away from the population centers). Oh-so-much smoother of a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
