I just think there are more concerns for lower elevation areas than areas that are far enough east but have elevation...maybe even Foster, RI would be better.

weathafella Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I think BOX so far has handled this very nicely. I wouldn't want to be paid to forecast but if I was with my limited weenie knowledge, I'd put out snow or mix, possibly rain in some areas. Could be plowable and we'll get details hopefully by late tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the get go this was a ENE storm threat but let's see what the Euro says. I was speaking more about Ryan's area and the western SNE areas where folks have been more meh. Good luck, Steve. Hopefully this works out like you think it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 is it me or are the 12z gefs pretty damn close QPF wise to the 0z euro ens (at least for E 1/2 of SNE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsnowstorm628 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I can envision this being a 33F paste/mix in BOS while ORH dumps at 27F. Coastal regions and SE MASS have to be wary of issues. No ways around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 With all the talks of GGEM being a big hit, that model shows why just ripping QPF values may not be the smartest move. That's like a 36 hour event, though it does get a couple 6 hour periods of 0.25< to BOS-PVD with one period where possibly 0.5"< gets into SE MA. That still looks like it would be a solid 6-12 inch snowfall in SE MA but it would probably all accumulate in like a 12 hour burst, bookended by hours and hours of light rain or light snow at like 34-35F. Could see why CT mets are cautious as even the "big hit GGEM" never has a 6-hour QPF value over 0.1-0.25" in that area. The "slow burn" method of accumulating snow.

Obviously best spot in CT looks to be NE hills up at 800ft+... like you're spot, my family's place on the hill on the Woodstock/Union border up to Will... that'll have the best chance of accumulating normally.

South Shore Slop Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I think we are going to get snained on. You might see flakes out the window but there will be puddles forming on the ground. We had about 5 hours of snain a few weeks ago... On 3/5/2013 at 5:49 PM, FSUIZZY said: Wow Channel 7 called for no snow in the 128 corridor. Actually no snow up and down eastern Mass.

ORH_wxman Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Euro looks almost dead on with 00z through 36h. Not expecting big changes this run. Its actually a bit north with QPF in the M.A. region in NJ/PHL area, but that might not mean anything. Trying to multi-task at the moment too.

Yeah I thought it was escaping but it's a nice hit it appears at least looking at 48 hours. Definitely better being in the eastern half of NE.
