[CoastalWx]

That was one of the reasons I stayed bullish when the 00z Mar 7 run got a bit SE on qpf...I didn't really get it because it was still showing a huge firehose going into SE NH and southward. That run scared me a bit, but the models often do funky things with QPF...esp in anomalous setups.

That was there..I probably should have said that to you..but yeah a good signal I remember. Still needed to work out other things locally, but that was a good signal for at least the hills.

 

BTW, euro 925mb temps were maybe -0.5 to -1C for the DC bust. Red Flag.

Any analogs to this storm? Or post-event comparisons?   4/97?

With this storm? I cannot think of one in terms of how a second s/w caught up and help pulled the moisture back west. Basically a 1000 mile long firehose. In terms of storms with deep layer easterly flow, 12/92 and 4/97 come to mind.

They were assuming a 3:1 ratio?! http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/03/08/why-did-we-get-so-much-more-snow-than-expected/

We need Drag back up here, miss those detailed AFDs that laid it all out.

I couldn't have done a better job expressing my thoughts! Ditto!

CIPS had Feb '81 as it top. 10-20" dumpage with almost identical setup. Was going to post it but some funky gremlin for some reason is making it a pain to post so instead of closing re-opening the browser I just moved on to captivated reading, play by play with Will and Scott disecting. I don't know about anyone else but I'm already sleep deprived. Bad weekend to move the clocks ahead. 

[Amped]

So what is this storm. Miller B? Hook and Ladder? Norlun? The Great Atlantic Low 2?

 

It tracked well SE of The Benchmark  so it wasn't a usuall hit.

12" Amounts or Greater in the December 29th Bombogenisis Storm, Blizzard of 2013, and the RI Super Screw Snowstorm of 2013. I will derive a Lot of info from this, but wanted to post it before I cut it up so people can see what they got. Only 5 times in History in my area did I get 3 12" storms in 1 season. 2002-2003 and 2004-2005 were not one of them. 2010-2011 was. Blizzard of 2013  CONNECTICUT ...HARTFORD COUNTY...

Crazy to think areas just to my south have had two >= 2' snowstorms this winter.

[CoastalWx]

Kevin what did you get?

[HoarfrostHubb]

Dylan Dryer hugs the Euro...but not always (they reran the NBC story)

I think I believe the Quincy total. Parts of Quincy are hilly. Wonder where the report was from

That's a big difference for an area mostly less than 200' in elevation, but it does reaffirm my guess what I got, but I'm not gonna inflate. Plus they are slightly east of me with some more marine influence.

Best prediction of the entire storm was an angry Mayor Menino.  He's saying they couldn't call it off because the predictions were so bad they hadn't called off and because of working families they don't like to call off at 5am.

 

I actually respect that...

he's an a$$. why can't they call off school in the morning? every school district does it, regardless if the families work. got the call at 5:15 am here. it is extremely rare to get the call the night before

Man Ryan won't like this..he was adamant that it wasn't shadowing and he also said he knew BOX would use that as the excuse . And it certainly wasn't shadowing in RI

LOL..and mild temps was the other excuse in Ri..Umm   no.......it's called dryslot due to reasons being researched

final from NWS

[CoastalWx]

Kevin how come you always have more than Coventry?

[Ginx snewx]

Kevin how come you always have more than Coventry?

Staffordville beat him though

[Cold Miser]

Not sure where that "Brooklyn, CT" measurement is taken to get 11.5 from the NWS, but I am in the higher spot in town, and measured 13 for the 2 days.

[Cold Miser]

I'm assuming this storm won't have a name given to it, since it wasn't a true noreaster or such?  Another reason the winter storm naming systme is moronic.
