Damage In Tolland Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Well a certain someone is finding every tweet with the word in it. I'm not sure of what to make of significant snowstorms that only have moderate impacts, lol. But hype isn't hype unless there's a word in there that gets people to go "oh my gosh we better panic!" I don't see anyone hyping anything. I don't think my call of 8+ regionwide in SNE is outlandish by any means. Sorry you're not jackpotting this time.Let us have some fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonWX Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Not unreasonable by any stretch. As every year this is probably one of the couple times where you want to be in eastern and southeast ma area lol I like my spot for at least 7. I can't see any less unless if I miss some of the initial WAA snows to the north, but even then 6 should be doable. The south shore looks great though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 No. A storm could be significant, but not rare. Rare = Historic / Epic Signicant = large snowstorm greater than 8+ inches... Maybe SNE sees a large area of 8+, but I also don't think it will fall in a short enough period to really disrupt things in a significant sense.

BostonWX Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I could too. I feel like I may right on the edge of it..but hoping some OES reaches this far Maybe some subsidence from ocean enhancement in RI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Boston people, we are in a good spot for this event. Scooter may get big totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Scooter's area is ground zero for this one. His OES fetish will finally be whetted. You could see that little area there with some 12-15 inch totals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 My concern back this way is missing out on the Thursday day stuff and playing catchup on Thursday night as the snow fills back in. I think this does look better for the Pike and better still for eastern mass with ocean enhancement. I'm going to roll with 6-10 for the early shows this evening but right now I'm leaning toward 3-6 or 4-7. Yeah I can see that. If 18z and 00z start to ramp up the Thu night stuff, then you can stick a bit more bullish, but if not, then back down to lower amounts on the late shows. The overrunning stuff isn't an easy forecast either...they can bust pretty good in either direction. Its definitely trended north today, but I remember 12/14 did that before coming back south a bit in the final 36...a bit different setup obviously, but an example.

SnowMan Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I am looking forward to basically living in a snow globe for a couple days...while not accumulating quickly, it will be nice to have a long duration snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subdude Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Not enthused about this storm to be honest - starting to think it could be quite meh for many. in for a 30hr 4" monster that will clean out with a leaf blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the taunton area we may miss out on some WAA snow, but should do fine thurs day night. What are your thoughts for my my area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your thoughts for my my area? Probably in the same 7-11 inch range, but the jackpot has gotta be the climo favored areas 3-7 miles inland on the SS like Hingham So Weymouth and se from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yeah Scooter's area is ground zero for this one. His OES fetish will finally be whetted. You could see that little area there with some 12-15 inch totals Ha. Well it's not a fetish, but this area to PYM does get enhancement in cold storms. I'm a hair NW of the best area for OES usually, but should do ok. I'm unsure how this will go. I don't want the WAA stuff going north and relying on Messengers favorite snow.

SouthCoastMA Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I think my area does better on NNE winds rather than NE..northern Bristol does well with a NE trajectory..but I'll need a more northerly component to push the bands a bit further south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually at the very NW end with some slight enhancement. Its really Hingham and the lower end of RT 18 in Weymouth points SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see that little area there with some 12-15 inch totals Messenger will clean up also. And Phil and James will do well particularly if they can get the full monty for the overrunning initial burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the bust potential is pretty high on the low side. If we miss the initial snows, and then the storm gets going late, we may really suffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Not unreasonable by any stretch. As every year this is probably one of the couple times where you want to be in eastern and southeast ma area lol Sit back and enjoy it. This won't be a blockbuster by any means but a solid snowstorm for us. We may get in on the ocean enhancement back this way. Still think 6-10" is likely. As has been discussed, maybe we get an uptick in the system as we get closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I can picture you with your bathroom window open at night , head stuck out the window shining your flashlight off twds the NE,,,watching the OES snow fly in Clown lol. Hey it's a real thing. Normally a storm under 30F at the least busts a couple of inches better than most think. It's basic thermodynamics. Added moisture. But it can be very mesoscale so I am very careful not to go too deep with this. I really hope the weenie WAA stuff stays as modeled and of course an actual CCB is most wanted. I'll be checking in from time to time. Out and about for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 During 1993-94, we had numerous events just like this. Just moderate event after moderate event adding up to huge depths. A lot of KU weenies were probably disappointed but I loved it particularly in my location with enhancements frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Co. lol It looks like we do alright out this way. Overrunning snows Thursday and another burst from coastal. Maybe 6" or a little more for you is my guess as we stand right now. Mitch the Met from Lenox can better answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
