FRWEATHA Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Been a lurker here for a few years. Thought I would create an account to give some obs for the upcoming event. Just got back from the Lexington area this AM from a work trip. Was nice to see some snow otg. Hope to see some on s.coast tomorrow nite. Thanks to all those who do the great analysis for us non-mets who are too busy to try to figure out wx maps, but have the same interest in wx.

jamesnichols1989 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Timing looks to be 18z Tuesday through 18z Wednesday, maybe even 00z Thursday for the CC and Islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Deep frontogenetical circulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I agree...I think it has a good banding look away from highest QPF. Looks like this won't be one of those CJs where the heavy snows don't progress nw of thr oe bands....like Jan 2-3. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Here @RaleighWx: 9z SREF probability of 12+ in of snow in 24-hr. thru 7am Wed for NEt. >50% in Philly area. http://t.co/lt5ktfusWL http://t.co/jGU6jgBzJW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbutts Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Guess it's time to take notice in CNE SREF's going with a nice compact range of outcomes, 0-34" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Not in this one they aren't. People need to remember ncep products potentially too extreme but let's see what the euro does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorEastermass128 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Looks like this won't be one of those CJs where the heavy snows don't progress nw of thr oe bands....like Jan 2-3. Nice. I'd go 3-6" right now for us. Hedge toward the lower amounts now too. If the EURO trends NW at 12z, look out! Hopefully my little Hyundai can handle snow covered Rt. 93N tomorrow night after the first day of classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 the banding signal is from ~philly - nyc - bos This one could make KU status if the banding is really situated that exquisitely over the I95 populous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold214 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Guess it's time to take notice in CNE SREF's going with a nice compact range of outcomes, 0-34" those really go nuts with the ratios in an arctic airmass...probably 30-35:1 so overdone but i'm taking a little bit of interest.

jamesnichols1989 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I agree a solid 15:1 or 20:1 ratios, that means to one inch of liquid 15-20" of snow is possible. Cape Cod, MA has seen only several 20"+ snowstorms in the past 20 years, a 24"(Feb 1999) snowstorm and a 35"(Jan 2005) snowstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Def interested to see how BOX goes with their afternoon output... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 There is isn't a shred of guidance left that backs up BOX's current snowfall forecast That was issued at 4:05 AM, well before the guidance shifted unanimously in the direction of a more substantial hit. BOX will often temper their current thinking on a given forecast with the previous package, which helps create consistency from package to package. This concept appears lost on many. Anyhow, I have no doubt in my mind that a midday or -- at the very latest -- afternoon update from BOX will have watches if not warning for much of the forecast area and a substantially adjusted accumulation forecast map. Have patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 There is isn't a shred of guidance left that backs up BOX's current snowfall forecast Right, but this is a preemptive approach to maintain some small semblance of continuity should the EURO hold serve, and the American suite cave tonight. I don't expect that, but it wouldn't be the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have patience. I understand all of what you say. My problem with it is the general public goes and checks the website now and say-"OK, not too bad, I can keep my plans for tomorrow" Why do they have to wait for the afternoon package---isn't it more important to get the word out ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Have actually seen the opposite occur this year more often than not. Right, but they can not take that chance. Can't risk the los of credibility that bouncing from a 1-3" forecast, to a 6-10", back to a 2-4" forecast would entail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect that, but it wouldn't be the first time. The euro has been too little too late in every one of these events this year. It will come back nw this run and increase the snow.
