Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I started archiving runs of the GFS a few days prior to this so it should be interesting to review. I'm still not convinced that the NAM or ECMWF "nailed" this. The axis of max precip was off but a lot of the dynamics were correct so I guess it's how you weigh everything. It's all just guidance. Yeah lot of snow those models had for this area busted. Euro shifted the stall point 200 miles in the last few runs. Look at gyx radar. Shift that 200 miles sw and the actual weather is a lot different. Gfs probably had that more right but failed with not pushing axis far enough NW. The euro never really picked up on the banding in li and ct, i mean it "did" but I doubt anyone would have forecast 40" from it. The nam lol. It gave boston and Worcester 70" a day or so ago and NJ not much less even 18-24 hours ago. HRRR was only okay. 4km nam was probably the best inside of 24 as it turns out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianW Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Been listening to the police scanner. Wallingford just requested National Guard assistance. Requesting pay loaders and any heavy equipment available. The plow trucks can't get out. The town is completely shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick-02540 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 How much did you end up with? Impossible to tell. Looks like a solid 9 inches of fluff on top of 6 inches of now-frozen mud. Lots of drifts over 18 inches. What did you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomNH Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Good to hear. Was wondering where we were at So probably will end up around 2 feet if measuring correctly since it's still bordering heavy snow. I was wrong and kind of wish I didn't go to bed cause it must've absolutely ripped after midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 There was not one that had the track of the low right, This storm tracked further west then modled Clearly model guidance focused too much on the surface low pressure and tied the upper levels to that. It was very evident from satellite and radar that upper levels were farther west than modeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
