lol...must be talking about BTV, as they are the only station below normal east of the mighty Mississippi. I wish we were only 5" below, but doesn't matter at this point, mountain is in good shape. Average max depth at the COOP is 88" on Mansfield, we are at 62", hopefully this is the start of a run to get us up there to the upper 80s.

this statement confused me, 88 being later in March I assume

Good synopsis by BOX

WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY... WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFFSHORE BY WEDNESDAY

MORNING...

I'm sure there is some logical reason for it, but the nws all-caps thing really drives me nuts sometimes. So much harder to read, they would get more readership if they typed like regular human beings.

Does anyone know why they use all caps?

Well I never said I was enjoying it and there isn't anything wrong when picking NNE as looking the best, when both climo and models suggest it. I never said we weren't having any snow chances. In fact, the day 8-10 deal is something to watch. All I said is that you sort of take a different approach to snow chances after mid month. I'm not sure what else to say and I think most agree. The pattern does support late season chances, but support an actuality aren't the same as we all know.

 

 

I've liked NNE for days on this threat....even back when some were worried about suppression.

 

We need to hope that PNA ridge trends a bit stronger or the ptype issues could extend even up there. Its an interesting storm though because even solutions like the Euro flash froze SNE into a brief blizzard....I'd like to see that high press further south though before the storm comes in, which is a trend that has been going the wrong direction the past 24 hours.

Maybe so people pay more attention?

 

I think the actual reason is that it is an artifact from the difax era.  Teletype and all that crap.  They just haven't changed stuff up, because unfortunately government change moves at the speed of continental drift.  I tell you what though, the NWS guys I know despise it as much as everyone else.

Morning, looking more like NNE storm right now eh? 495 belt could be interesting, although, looks more wet and white right now. but, this is all going to change one way or another. I will just take the hit right now.

Welcome to the board!  Certainly looks like a nailbiter for us Northcentral MA people.

 

I've noticed that this storm looks a lot like the mid-feb Miller A that jogged west in the models.  Anybody else feeling it?

SnowMan has been taunting the sne posters especially us on the cp. I never root for anyone to get rain but when he does angrily putting out his cigar Thursday morning as he contemplates a 3 hour commute to work I won't be terribly upset.

I think if nothing changes today the writing is getting set on this one. We need this to originate further south, Not worth much but the nam is snowy (12Z/9).

Yeah the suppression idea certainly wasn't holding a candle to the last event once I saw that lobe rotate north in ern Canada, Entirely different beast.  This is an interesting storm as you said. The arctic air is collapsing south even in some of the warmer solutions which would flip many to an abrupt S+ ground blizzard. I guess we'll see. I certainly would feel better north of I-90 for some wintry wx, but it's early.

Eh, some of the interior folks are babies. Many aren't, but I don't recall that behavior from some SE MA people if they smoke cirrus and Messenger gets buried.

LOL...Snowman represents interior posters about as well as Logan Airport represents metro Boston for snowfall. :lol:

 

He thought he averaged 82" per year, and is convinced he won't get any rain 96 hours before a storm....not exactly the posterchild of objectivity.

It's from the old TeleType days. All official government communications were written that way. Military, state department, etc. Bureaucratic habits are hard to change.

I know...but many who whine from this region live well inland. 

 

In any case, the clown range NAM looked like it literally smoked along and north of I-90..lol.

The more hi res models show quite a thermal gradient at 850mb which makes sense. This probably will have a narrow transition zone thanks to temps aloft, because srfc temp difference might not be all that large at first. The real gradients are a few thousand feet up.

Hey mods/admins.  Just a fyi the timestamps on the posts are an hour off,  don't know who can fix that.  Just posting this here cause its the busiest thread.  Just delete this once you pass it on to someone who can fix it.  Thanks

12z GFS coming in warmer, but it looks to be more dynamic...I actually like the trend in the better PNA ridge out west...more energy is in the base of the trough.

 

This could be a snow to rain to flash-freeze snow scenario in parts of SNE while its all snow up to the north.
