turtlehurricane Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The precip edge has been steadily expanding northwest, now it's all the way back into Iowa and a bit of Minnesota. This bodes well for several more hours of good snowfall. 0.33" liquid so far, roads are a slushy mess, snow accumulating on other surfaces since it started but haven't measured.

harrisale Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 On the 401 at Bayview right now. Coming down harder than I expected this early. Looks like maybe a 30 Dbz band I'm going through right now according to King City radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosaints Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Really the EURO is only MECS. The EURO delivers about 2.8 QPF to boston. Verbatim thats 3 feet The NAM is really putting itself on the line with the east coast. It has a HECS while the Ops are more MECS(and that is for SNE only) If it fails, I am sure we will hear about "upgrades" coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I've noticed the models continue to slow the exit of the snow tomorrow afternoon here. It almost looks like the northern stream snow melds into the defo zone of the coast and pivots a bit. In fact 18z NAM kinda has a trowal signature. I'm wondering if a foot plus is more likely than not. I've been thinking the same thing since I noticed it yesterday on the models. If that's legit...you're really golden.

WestMichigan Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The 1900 RUC run is forecasting an additional 9 or 10 inches on top of the nearly 4 we have received already. This seems a little aggressive, but hopefully it is on to something. I know, it is the RUC but that would be amazing if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
