Ginx snewx Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Jerry tell me about March 58 again. I can not believe the analog list for the 8-14 day period. Goal now is for Will to break the all timer. Look at that Blue Hill top ten list , 2013 just walked in your door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To pretend that this was completely unexpected when many models picked up on the trend is just disgraceful. Talk about uncertainty, talk about the logic and climo that went into the thinking, and then say we screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 The wind direction argument is crap. Models had NNE winds..even Phil and I said that would be good to lock in cold near the coast....esp BOS. You have a low that far south with a high to the north..winds aren't going to be 060...we don't have geostrophic winds at the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a low that far south with a high to the north..winds aren't going to be 060...we don't have geostrophic winds at the surface. Is 3 to 1 even possible? That's pretty much what's floating around in ponds after it snows lol. The wind argument is ridiculous. I remember poking you over it snowing in the coastal plain on NE winds. You had legitimate concerns over snowfall rates not providing the cooling. This wind stuff is nonsense unless these guys are far more clueless than we think. But thinking about it Scott it would explain the cracked out accumulation maps that had snow west of highway 24 (ha). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Looking at the 200 image loop it appears there was some midlevel dry inflow out of the SE that perpetually flowed into RI Anyone have last nights OKX 0Z balloon launch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a low that far south with a high to the north..winds aren't going to be 060...we don't have geostrophic winds at the surface. The forecast busted because most mets didn't believe we'd get the qpf the Euro was showing...figured probably 2/3rds of it and spread out enough to keep precip light enough to make it hard to accumulate at the coast. Just my guess there...otherwise there really isn't a valid explanation. BOS was a hard forecast...I was pretty iffy on them too...but I think the interior forecasts were too light from the get-go. NWS BOX first guess was one of the better ones but then they backed off a bit for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWS BOX first guess was one of the better ones but then they backed off a bit for some reason.they backed off a ton. Some of the watch area went to 2-4. Brockton got 24" in that 2-4 zone.I think you're 100% right. The wind nonsense is really only valid in interior se ma. Ie west Plymouth carver etc. the difference there would have been a few inches versus 10+ that fell. I snowed pretty much the entire storm it was just moosh until 2am last night. Anyway nice work Will. This was a fun one. Not often do we see 30" wet snows in march around Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Proably buried in the thread, but was this BOS's biggest March event? And was it ORH's single biggest March event? (3/31/97 - 4/1/97 were in 2 months) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
