Question for the Mets.  In big storms like this there is usually a secondary maximum in the deformation areas well NW of the center.  Why do models not pick up on this.  Seems the QPF amounts just slowly fall off as you go N and W from the path.

 

See that image that Brian posted.  In this storm, the big NW deform band looks to be somewhere in central New England down into western SNE.  I could see it arcing from like Dryslot to Dendrite and down into CT. 

 

There probably won't be some jackpot band going from like BML to MPV to GFL in this one.

With yesterday, this event, and possible bonus on Friday, the winter's trying to pull itself up from a D grade toward a B-.

I just started the snowblower for the first time since Thanksgiving, thankfully it worked. For sh*ts and giggles, fired up the John Deere, too. Was shocked the battery survived the cool temps we've had this season.

Only 40 minutes to go until the King.

27.9/9

To some extent the models underestimate the banding...it's mesoscale. The higher res models can sniff it out though.

Another thing is that the QPF can be less, but the ratios are sky high in those bands with deep saturation and strong lift in the max dendritic growth zone. So although the QPF may drop off...the ratios and amounts climb. We won't have the winds that they'll have closer to the center and along the coast so there will be less crystal destruction via BLSN/DRSN too.
