N. OF PIKE Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Can't get over this cold air, now down to 17.2 and falling still. Unprecedented. Ground and roads are lightly white. 14/-5 at BVY nw winds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlantStickers Anonymous Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Amounts going down for coastal north shore? Nothing huge is changing, as long as you weren't expecting a foot there shouldn't be a need to change totals, don't worry about it. Close enough to the coast and not too far north.

wxmanmitch Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Smoking altostratus here as the sun is still faintly visible through the overcast. Southern sky is noticeably grayer than the northern sky, which has more of a bluish tint. This is a toaster bath event for GC. I'm thinking a coating to maybe an inch north of the Pike, with 1-2" south of the Pike, but that may be optimistic given the new Euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Read and comprehend High variance areal QPF typically occurs in frontogenetic setups like this one. An areal avg of 0.5 will not represent snow totals properly. I think we stated that so many times, but fallen on deaf ears. Some will do awesome, some will be semi-screwed. Just the nature.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hi, I live in Moosup Ct one house away from Sterling Ct about 5 miles from Foster RI. Some light snow falling, this storm reminds me of 12/21/09 , good luck to all. Us southern boys have been on the edge of good snows this winter hopefully we can enjoy a nice band. Deep deep winter as far as the weenie one eye can see. 12/21/09 crossed my mind earlier too. Of course…totals will be roughly half of what we saw from that…but watching the banding creep into S CT is definitely reminiscent of that one. Snow has pretty much stopped here just some flurries now. I'm eagerly awaiting that LI band which I've been watching for the last couple of hours slowly trudge northward, and it's just about on my door step now, so things should pick up here in a bit. Yup…band on my doorstep too. Intensity should pick up any minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close enough to the coast and not too far north.Non dare speak of changes or possibility of downward potential changes , it will be called panic , a debby downer, or other non critical thought statements or crafted in some negative tone, that being said we shall see lol.Band centered hair north of PHL thru NYC and still expanding lifting a tad. Lets see how far NE good lift gets. Im bullish for se ct to ginxy-cold miser and very bearish for HFD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just will never understand it Radar looks good..Heavy band pivoting NW twds southern TOL and Windham counties in CT..Should even be into fairfield within the hour I actually think the NW areas (along I-84 from ORH to DXR) see a bit less while SE areas toward Ginx see more.

ORH_wxman Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Rap is insistent on having the box map verify at least for the Boston area. We'll see... I posted about the RAP a while back...it looks very good for BOS and back toward SE CT and has been fairly consistent in that regard for several runs. The banding will start to tilt more NW later on...so eastern areas should get a piece of it. Probably not as strong as it is to our SW, but pretty good nonetheless. I'm thinking it will be difficult to verify warning amounts outside of 495 in MA and back into the NW half of CT...but we'll track that banding...if it gets a little further NW than the current guidance implies, then all bets are off.

sankaty Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 OKX has moved my area from the 6-8 band to the 8-10 band with their midday update. I think that's optimistic. I'm anticipating 4-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm anticipating 4-6. StormTotalSnowFcst.png Yeah…I was surprised to see them go 10-14" around here when they're usually very conservative. Not a whole lot to support those numbers. But they've been harping on 20:1 ratios on Facebook the past 2 days. I think they should've stuck with what they had. I doubt I sniff 10" here. But will happily eat crow if need be.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Must be snowing nicely aloft. We went from 5-10 DBZ on radar to 20-25 DBZ with no change to intensity. Probably been a good 5-10 minutes. Finally some larger dendrites starting to make their way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Box just tweaked the snowfall map a bit. Narrowed the 10-14 a bit, splits Bristol and Plymouth counties now. But also looks like they expanded the 8-10 and 6-8 some as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 lol. You are a trip. Presumably the reason every single model run this am including the jmA cut back is because the best forcing is further s&e and in some cases weaker. Of course that won't effect accums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Forky in it good, saw some reports of seven already in NJ, MR Windcredible we might see some 3/4 of 09 reports. Looks like a pretty raid expansion of snow is occurring, WST just went to 1/2 mile very quickly. Obviously a now cast event for specific jackpots. I am liking seeing my name referenced although in past years that has been a Jinx, lol. At any rate just enjoying watching it. Lt snowfall right now and looking forward to getting back on the skates skis and sleds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An areal avg of 0.5 will not represent snow totals properly. Everyone knows that. But some of us enjoy watching last minute trends in obs, radar, and *gasp* models to try to zero in on where the jackpots are likely to setup versus who gets relatively screwed. It's called nowcasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn0waddict Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 same here...we have about an inch, going to have to really go to town to get to 10-14. To be fair, the coastal is just starting to take shape, we haven't even begun to feel the actual effects of the storm yet. Should soon though given the radar presentation.

weatherwiz Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Everything aligning for some incredible banding later on. Getting into this stuff will be 2-3''...perhaps isolated 4'' per hour type stuff. I only say isolated 4'' b/c I would think snow growth/size of flakes and the fluff factor definitely support that possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
