ORH_wxman Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 I still have to talk to you about the extreme snowhole during the Freezard of Jan. 2-3. Where every report around me was 8"-9" including my home town and i couldn't find anything over 5"-5.5" meaning 6" max. That never happens to me with snow, and it's been happening a lot recently, though nothing like that storm. My house usually gets the NWS attention for being too High, and now I don't even report in some storms cause it's usually lower than the other NWS in town. You think I can hold snow until 2pm? Only chance of getting this 10" you speak of on the EURO. oh yes, I meant to call you back then totally forgot....sorry about that. I will get you back. I'll take a look at that one. I think you will hold snow until 2pm tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcard Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 In the couple years I've been doing some light learning and reading during the winter, not sure I remember seeing so much positivity on the final big (gfs or euro) runs on the eve of a snow storm. Pretty cool to see more excitement then stools and nooses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSnowman Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 oh yes, I meant to call you back then totally forgot....sorry about that. I will get you back. I'll take a look at that one. I think you will hold snow until 2pm tomorrow. Cool and Thanks. I know you're a busy one. On the bright side, my 7" compact base has not lost a flake in like 10 days. Been awesome though I have not been out to sled at all as I've been too busy on career. If the NAM has 6-8 out front and the EURO has 10-12 my 6-12 that I've had since Monday is what i'm sticking with. TWC's 1-3 5 miles south of me is ALWAYS a good sign. I always kill it when they do their conservative old fashioned TWC crap. They've really been more on the bullish side since they';ve gone Mainstream..... and ya know.... started destroying our winters..... with naming storms ans stuff.... "Cory do you remember a snowstorm about 10 years back that was..." "OH the Blizzard of 2013 ya!..." "No no Cory... ahhh OH NEMO, YES NEMO you remember Nemo?"

TheSnowman Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I can't stand the naming of winter storms either. They Are Not 1 System! A Tropical System is a CLEARLY defined system. When they interact the Whole world watches because it's so rare (Fujiwawa actually haha) and even still they are separate storms. To have 1 eat another is VERY rare. Winter Storms? They're elongated, they break up, they create new parts like a stemming virus, they... we could go on and on. It's just making the Stupider NOT have to learn anything new and stay stupid and what I just posted.... is my BIGGEST fear. Ya know the fear that I'm going to kill someone in that discussion after they remember a storm by its name when it was a 5 day 32 Low Pressure Total system that had a name of the highest level of respect to us - Naming it after a holiday or putting the B word before it and attaching a year.

TheSnowman Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Washington DC Getting Pounded and the Southern states that were in the 10-15 zones got 2" and are ready to do Weenie Suicide. The culprit? They seemed to complain a lot about the EURO being Way too far West a day to a day and a half out. Interesting. I was quick reading but that, and them waiting for this uber band to develop in NC tomorrow morning seemed to be the main pieces of news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattb65 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Everyone, kinda expecting a meh low end event in Boston today. Nothing is cancelled. I'm thinking there could be big problems if the Euro is right. It would really catch people off guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The new NAM has a great CCB for the western half of SNE and ENY after midnight to dawn. Upped my qpf near ALB to 1.3". Berkshires 1.75 virtually all snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 BOS already 31. A few miles west it's 26 here. 5 miles west of me low 20s. Harvey ftw? I wonder if my neighbors are annoyed at the number of times I flash the floodlights on and off...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 BOX has tempered it's enthusiasm for high jackpots. I was hoping some (including me of course) might score a 20-spot. Since I'm only seeing NAM/GFS totals and me staying all snow, I think some areas could still do that.

N. OF PIKE Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 My buddy teaching in Ashland has dismissal @1145, brain dead call. Lets send buses out when it will be POUNDING Snow. Honestly the politics if cancellations should be overthrown. Cxl school and tell moronic parents who call crying that conditions arent forecast to be safe at early dismissal time.

S&P Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 sons school in pvd cancelled last night, tough call for them . kids attend from all over the state and mass. they depend on local busing in some cases which is difficult to coordinate when some school districts cancel and others are on 1 hr delay. logistical nightmare so they punt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 is there anything better than a snow storm that starts first thing in the morning? enjoying my coffee, surfing and getting ready to take the dog out.

Prob smart...could still be absolutely ripping around 2-3pm...when schools normalyl get out. Even if it flips by then, it will have not been for very long so things will still be a mess.

Even if it flips by then, it will have not been for very long so things will still be a mess. That's how I felt as well. It was a no-win situation. We knew the AM commute was not going to all that bad but the afternoon one was going to be a bear. Also with ~5000 students in the schools, I think it easier to make that call.

That is a dumb time to send them home. I discussed that with our admin this week wrt timing. Early dismissals are so hairy.
