Arnold214 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 You said that the Cape will continue to get heavy snow, do you still think that, even when we are tapering to flurries right now? Also given the numerous 12"+ amounts across the outer Cape, I think it is accurate enough to say that 13.5" is a good measurement for Harwich, MA. I don't think it will be as heavy as earlier...but I think it will be more than flurries. Probably like 1 to 3 mile type stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 It goes to show you how nice dendrites can accumulate so efficiently. What a noticeable difference in 30 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 It has 0.10"+ QPF bwtween 3-6z on the srn NH/ME border that doesn't seem like it will verify. The band has already cleared Strafford county. NAM has no clue on this snow band but it may not be totally inaccurate that it ends up somewhere up in NE ma or just west of there. Lighter snow here now. That band is heading right to easton, raynham etc. What the hell is driving it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Could this go down as one of the worst busts for TV Met's in the publics eye in recent years? I think one of the worst busts in the sense that forecasters never caught up. The initial forecasts were maybe 2-3 spot 5 near the canal. Then it went up some, up some, up some but not only that it spread much further than expected. It's snowing like mad where it wasn't supposed to.

Organizing Low Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'm finally up slightly over an inch. are you not gettting into the northern part of this band? it looks as though the band is rotating in and should cross most of the boston metro longitude... i though you were just north of boston?

It's snowing like mad where it wasn't supposed to. I would say no, because it didn't really effect a large metro area like Boston, Worcester, or Hartford.. more people will be talking about the accidents rather than the bust on the cape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 What the hell is driving it? Scott-Coastal posted the SPC mid-level frontogenesis (I forget the level, but I'm assuming H7?).The NAM analysis clearly shows the WAA in the GOM at that level and where the frontogenesis would be setting up over ENE.

TalcottWx Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Well nearly froze my hands off. Back inside, Still pretty much ripping outside even though the band came through already. Looks like its going to calm down.. Will be interesting to see if we do pick up more. I've learned this past week that anything can happen.

It's been VERY rare for them to bust low but even at 5pm there were still 3-6 type forecasts for down here. It's a pleasant surprise but I doubt any forecaster would say this was a job well done. This will be a great learning experience. Traffic was horrendous down here, it took one of our neighbors 1 hour to go 4 exits. a mid level frontogenetic zone that is advecting westward.
