MainePhotog Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 1" of mashed potatoes this morning. GYX has cut back the snow accumulation on the coastal plain, which I expected, due to sleet and freezing rain. But 4"-6" here will still be a net gain. This storm will be fun to watch. I will watch with interest for any trends today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The crickets in this thread are disheartening. Part of me is looking forward to the rain cleaning up the streets/driveways/parking lots a bit. The glacier that will be frozen afterwards will be pretty solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfishsnowman Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 theres a lot more posters down in sne and most are snow lovers, congrats nne and hopefully cne but whats there to post about down this way for the winter geeks....and now the back end snows look less impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomNH Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Quick glance looks like the 6z GFS is a tick or two away from an isothermal snow bomb here and the 6z NAM is already there. We toss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codfishsnowman Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 it be nice if there were more posters up there for obs in case there is tssn, crazy rates, measurements etc.....we have an excellent representation for that down here area wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 1-2ft of snow here on the 6z NAM and GFS. I wonder if any TV mets bite this morning. heading your way either early tomorrow or after lunch thurs. Gunstock or bust. My morning weather update for Gilford included rain, sleet and ice....along with snow. Big change since yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomNH Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Agreed unless the Euro at 12z makes that jump as well but that is highly highly unlikely. I'll be mildly interested if the 12z GFS jumps south again, but I don't think it's going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The 06z southward drop was interesting....it wasn't limited to the NCEP models as the RGEM did it too (though not quite to the extent as GFS/NAM). Just caught up on the 00z Euro which is really ugly pretty far north...might even get sleet at one point to Sunday River/Bethel ME and up through Coos County NH. The difference between a track through LI and SE MA and one over POU over to BOS is a big deal for sensible wx for a lot posters....SNE for sure, but even into most of CNE. Far NNE, it makes zero difference...they aren't missing the good snows regardless of the track within the realistic goal posts right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Wow, just took a quick look at the NAM, GFS and ECMWF. WTF happened since last night??!?! NAM and GFS come south, I get a little excited, even for here in Lowell, but then ECM goes north. What is the Canadian and Ukie showing? Are we looking at a blend? Seems like it's a wash for me and anyone to about Concord, NH, but I think there will be a steep gradient from there up to Dendrite and all snow to the north of there where the ski areas could measure 2' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly makes a difference here in ALB; the 06z NAM gives us 16" lol. It looks like the 06z NAM/GFS were a little less amplified with the shortwave coming out of the anticyclonic wave break over the western US. That causes the phasing to be delayed and farther south than the 00z runs. We'll have to see how today's guidance handles that feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seeing some other guidance go south a bit makes me wonder if we'll see the Euro come back south....that was a pretty solid jump for Euro standards this close in, esp considering the ensemble spread yesterday was low. I guess we'll just have to wait, since there is really no way to tell if the weaker/delayed phasing of the shortwave coming out of the rockies is real.

powderfreak Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The GEFS didn't seem to move too much on the individual solutions. Most were right over NYC to east of BOS it seemed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far NNE, it makes zero difference...they aren't missing the good snows regardless of the track within the realistic goal posts right now. As we have discussed, This is where these 20-75 mile shifts with the track of the surface low will have some bigger impacts for CNE over to here and the folks on the coast, That Euro run was not what i really expected, In fact, I expected it to either hold serve or a tic or 2 south, Seeing some of the others start going in the more southern camp is at least somewhat encouraging, But we will continue to need the pv to press south with some colder air less of a phase out west until it reaches the coast here would help as well as the s/w would take more of a southern track too, But will have to watch if that continues or it was just a blip in the models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Not sure it means anything since the 6z models were cold (and they suck), but the 9z SREFs came in cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Very few posters in the Whites, or Maine away from the coast... too bad... they will get clocked Totally agree about the lack of peeps (and hope the other part is right, too.) Complete silence from the 75% of Maine north of my location. We used to have posters from BGR and the County (and not just Vim Toot), but that part of the state seemed to disappear after Cool Spruce was no longer able to share his wisdom.

Yeah just looked and the surface track may have been a hair SE of 03z but not much, I think we want to see trends colder for this today to help out the cause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're pretty close in for anything much more dramatic (I think). 41.1/33--torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking a few inches of snow on Wednesday, a transition zone Wed eve (maybe even a dry slot?) and then 4-8 after midnight Wednesday into Thursday. That would be a big win in mid March with the snow pack we have. Although I leave Saturday for 3 weeks in Asia, so.... I am a fan of grand finales and a quick break to warmth so maybe when I get home April 4 spring will have sprung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking that but you can't just totally ignore it either, But seeing some of the other models start swinging the opposite way, And just took a closer look at the junk srefs, They did cool quite a bit, The 546 thickness was on my head at 03z and now its right along the immediate coast for the most part, We will see if guidance today follows, That pv may be starting to flex and the models are starting to pick up on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 What a beast, definitely ticked colder on all morning runs. Brian basically tossing models other than the Euro like Lester tossing balls in long catch drills. We know what horse he is riding. Being on the fence for the biggies sucks emotionally, lol. We have a lot more spring training practice for that down here. JMHO Congrats Dendrite,the south tick is real and its spectacular. PS Will, a little sleet in that storm at SR is not a bad thing since we are not there for the bomb. Enjoy NNE, storm of the year in all of NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
