Ginx snewx Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I actually think there's a reasonable likelihood this storm brings some meaningful precipitation into SE areas as this will be a massive storm diameter-wise. Once the storm occludes and becomes vertically stacked, the precipitation shield will expand to the point where SE New England could be impacted by some of the outer bands, even if the low is well offshore. While I wouldn't expect a major event, it is something to keep an eye on. Precipitation type could also be an issue due to the east winds. In addition, the easterly flow north of the storm could advect enough moisture inland that there could be some easterly upslope along the east side of the Berkshires. Again, this likely wouldn't be significant, but it could mean some accumulating snow for these spots. I keep reading that it can not come North much more but it seems logical to me the massive circulation precip shield would be farther up the coast then modeled as you state. Even a 75 mile North shift on the GFS would put a chunk of SNE in the comma head per 7 H maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Pending the euro tiny tickles north each run nudging us into some possible snow? I think the writing is on the wall for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlantStickers Anonymous Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I think the writing is on the wall for this one I'm not expecting anything colossal or a big deal by any means, but if it gets far north enough some light precip could be doable. Of course it could very well be rain where I am lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the folks below you would have an outside shot, But running into that block will be tough for this one to gain lat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already got a blizzard this season so I won't be driven insane by a miss from this like the M.A folks would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Easterly flow does bring precip into NE almost every run, but its pretty much weenie precip. I wouldn't rule out some light accumulations in the higher elevations even if the main storm stays well south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalWinds Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I think the MA deserves at least one good dumping per winter..more power to 'em. Guess I have a soft spot since that's where I lived ages 6-17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey2002 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I don't think we have much of a shot either. Euro has been fairly consistent with this for the past few days, besides that one hiccup run. Huge precip shield may give some parts of SNE snow/rain showers, but I'm not expecting much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codfishsnowman Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 well i hope march delivers something here bc according to all the local info i can gather including a recent article from 22news spfd avg 52 inches per season so i am still almost a foot below that, would hate to go down well below normal in a winter always remembered for the blizzard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsw Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 1.5 inches of snow here since 7pm...currently 1/2 mile mdt. Nothing as "exciting" as that here in Brattleboro - dusting this morning. We've had the one big storm when we got close to 20 inches, and another smaller one earlier in the year. Other than that, this winter gets a big thumbs down!
