Remember his "innocuous" post the other day.." Hey guys , what date did we have a T last week, I forgot to log it". Then he puts it down as a half inch. Lol. Gotta make sure we include all dustings

LOL!!!

I don't remember seeing that post but reading just now from you had me busting a gut for a good few seconds.

Sorta looks 10:1 euro.

It was a blend of the nam, sref, gfs, euro, hpc qpf and rfc qpf with around a 10:1 ratio where there was snow in the wx grids (we slammed the BL temps down to 32-33 when the strong uvv's arrived). It will probably be a bit conservative in some areas. I think a few folks will see 6 inches in 3 hours.

Is that warning criteria for you folks?

yes, it's generally 6+ inches in 12 hours or less (or a minimum range of 4-8")...but in order to verify you need to have 6" more over half of any given zone. I wouldnt be suprised if some get it depending on how the bl temps shake out...some qpf will probably be wasted for a short time at the beginning. But i could see a warning eventually needing to be hoisted.

It can happen... latitude matters.

 

Growing up in this region, what happens at the airport happens in Hartford.  Once in a while, latitude may do something- but I'd forget about it for the most part. Bradley/Hartford/Springfield are one and the same.

I thought you had a 7" threshold.

 

What's your take for p-type up in Bath?  Might they hold on to all snow?

I disagree with that. BDL averages nearly 10" more of snow per season than HFD. There are many times BDL is hanging on to snow while HFD has flipped. That said Brainard Field isn't exactly representative of must of suburban Hartford... it's near sea level and on the far southeastern corner of the city.

it's 6 inches in 12 hours, 9 inches in 24. Advisory is 4 inches. As for bath they should do ok once the uvv's kick in unless the coastal front wants to snuggle up to you for awhile. Our forecast there is probably a bit low but confidence today was pretty low.

NAM looks way out to lunch. Toss it. 21z SREFs look much closer to what the GFS has been showing.

there is a very good consensus right now that disputes the nam. We'll see how the rest of the suite lines up. Tricky situation to say the least.

Thanks--I'll post conditions as I can.
