Jan 2-3 Big Snow Threat , Part 3

There is the issue, it's not a dry slot in the standard approach more two different processes in a developing storm, someone who benefits from no lull will get smoked.

 

That's probably a better way of phrasing it, it's not a dry slot in the sense of a SWFE of something like that. It's a lull in precip (due to forcing aloft). You aren't in the WAA/frontogenesis snowfall, nor has the low started to develop precip around its circulation.

I just posted in the NYC thread that anyone who gets under that dry area for more than a few hours may have freezing drizzle problems, could make the roads a complete crap show.

I agree, the lull won't be an end all be all really either. The WAA snows are focused up north, coastal south. It's more of just a break as I see it.

No big deal

Actually he's not. Look on his twitter. He's going 4-8".

Don't like him and never will but he's only going 12+ for east coast of ma

He is good Met Joe Bastardi............. He says NYC. Weather 4,8 or 16(and this could dump 1-2 feet-ratio) Rarely is the kind of wind and cold while snowing seen in these areas

I think we even lull up here for a little bit late Thursday afternoon as the WAA shuts off. I'm gonna up to 3-6'' during the day Thursday and 4-7'' Thursday night into Friday and I think that's fair. Hopefully the Euro isn't as paltry as 00z because that gives me some pause as to how potent Thursday night will be here away from the best snow.

That area has looked good to me, or from Attlehole out to Scituate or Duxbury

When it gets right down to go-time, the model with the greatest resolution is your own, in-house climo model.

The models construct the situation, and we can apply that to are own internal databases of past experiences.

 

Attleboro is a little too removed from the ocean....Situate is right on the ocean, and therefore unable to reap the benefits of that slight incline that is representative of the s shore topography.

I like the S Weymouth, Holbrook, Avon, Stoughton, Brockton, Abington, Whitman, Rockland circle for jack pot potential.

Positioned optimally to maximize fetch of the Atl, yet avail of the very same orographic phenomenon that the TUG does in LE events, though on a much smaller scale.

 

On the N shore, the topography is a non issue, so the KBEV, Peabody, Danvers, Salem circle is likely to prevail in the battle for local supremacy.

I suspect the reason being is that further out on the peninsula, the Manchester-by-the-sea, Gloucester, Rockport contigent is just a little too exposed to maximize the oceanic contributions, and further n, up toward Rowley, Ipswich, Newbury, Newburyport,, and Salisbury etc, they don't have quite as efficient a fetch off of the ocean due to the angle of the Maine coastline.

 

In and around the immediate Boston metro portion of the coast line, from Lynn, down through the n half of Braintree, I suspect the angle of the fetch to not be optimal, however that is admittedly speculative on my part.

 

Just some arbitrary analysis derived from my own experience of which precise spots should be favored in cold events, with oes contributions.

 

Ultimately time will tell and I shall adjust accordingly for future considerations.

I don't think that will happen in SNE...maybe further south. The 900mb range looks too cold to support FZDZ....we might actually be able to form dendrites in the low levels with shallow lift because of how cold the BL is...maybe along the south coast it gets more marginal.

Not sure it ever shuts off completely, but definitely looks disorganized as the low starts to consolidate to the south.
