Possible Weekend Snowstorm, Jan 24 2015

snowflakegate?

It's warming up quickly here roads are sweating. 32. Hoping we can squeeze out our biggest snow of the year at 1.6".

I like my QPF at 1.25"

Love the 4 km NAM, I would hit that 8-10 even big sistah and baby Momma are 6

Kind of funny that the NWS says "snow...may be heavy at times after midnight" and then the accumulation is only an inch. Unless that inch of snow falls in 30-45 minutes, it's not heavy. If the NWS has 1-3 inches in a forecast period (12 hours), that should be considered light snow.

Unless there are some short bands of heavy snow which significantly reduce visibility and make driving hazardous.

I was mistaken. The accumulation they have is 2-4 now which is why I deleted the original post. I guess if you can hang 2-4 in the mid-6am period it will be heavy at times.

Nam hasn't had the same solution or even similar run to run in about 10 years.

It occasionally initializes correctly.

All models now showing good front end dumping, I remember somebody telling Snow Goose this wasn't that kind of storm. Good sniff job by him

Models? Look at the radar.

huh?

Looks good to me...

Radarology, not modelology

well not quite nowcast but close

[wxsniss]

That jet means business. Turbulent in clear air at h3. Glad to be home (well still at BOS) and expecting 5.1 imby.

Taking upstream nowcast obs to a new level, I like it

I'm just saying, I've certainly seen worse radar presentations.

Agree. I like the way it looks so far.

He has owned this winter

[snowman21]

Who cares about the radar presentation? If snow is on the way, giddyup!

[NorEastermass128]

Yeah I'm really impressed with his skill for this stuff. Great addition.

Final call of 7.5" IMBY

Down in NY it always looked more front end. As the storm creeped NW that also entered into our picture. If it was further SE it would be more a function of a wrapped up CCB.

[ORH_wxman]

RGEM continues a nice little stinger of a CCB. It looks like it cooled a bit too.

The early returns are a tick cooler which is fine with me.

The storm definitely looks different than it did about 60-72h ago. Much faster now. Originally this thing went into late Sat night and early Sun morning.

Does this hit down here?

Yeah. I have been startled as far as how this thing has sped up. Like Jerry said, this jet means business

Radar looks good. Been a while since I have seen it like that. I really am interested to see where that Ccb sets up

[CoastalWx]

Yeah agree Will. Also the weaker mid level look compared to a few days ago also turns this into a WAA thump too.

[ORH_wxman]

RGEM was drier and colder...but it gives decent snow for SE MA even.

That would be a crowd pleaser
