"Undoubtedly because we live in the age of DISinformation as opposed to the age of science and information... some brain dead subhuman in the mainstream media is going to declare that this 'eye" is actually a "winter hurricane". It's nothing like that but you can rest assured that anyone giving you that information simply has no idea what they are talking about."

No one is going to figure out the mins vs the maxes until it actually happens. Except I can tell you that from here to Pittsburgh, NH to Jackman, ME will be the New England minimum, but that's how these systems go. No biggie. Once south of like a Rutland to Laconia line, it's anyone's game.

I think the dual jackpots makes sense from a climo standpoint, but where will those be? But climo usually says one jack near the best low level forcing (often on the coast) closer to the low, then another where the ML forcing lingers the longest. It makes sense. But where those exact spots are you won't know until game time.

A CF doesnt have to mean it's rain on the other side...sometimes it does, but in this case it isn't. Same deal in Boxing Day and Jan 2011 and many other storms...Feb '78 too. IT just meas that is the spot where the sfc temps are tightly packed in a gradient.

 

 

Very true... and in this case, it's probably more like aggregate types that delineate.   You're parachuting on the seaward side, ...maybe mixing or even flipping once in awhile on the actual arm of the Cape, but west of the boundary it's sand and small shattered aggregates going sideways, with street lamps reduced to ailing orbs...

I don't think that's true. I think right at the cf and immediately west (<5 miles) you're parachuting in heaven while east your doing ok but struggling with ratios.

He's actually entirely correct with that cynicism, because it's true -- it is waay too easy for media, press, the twit sphere ...what-have-you, to broadcast than it is for them to broadcast AFTER they've vetted the veracity of what they are saying.  

 

We live in an age of conviction and/or convicted by public opinion because of that too, which is unfortunate... But it does extend into the Meteorological field, because let's face it:  As this storm will demonstrate, everyone living is affect (...if not effected) by weather events, so it's going to blaze up the media circuits with quite the fervor over the next 24 hours, and it's going to be downright amusing at times what we hear.

Not always though...remember Jan 2011? BOS was on the eastward side of the CF for much of the storm and got walloped with 15" of paste and plenty of qpf.

 

But you are right that sometimes it can be crappier snowfall rates on the seaward side.

My point was "aggregate delineating" -- not what actually happens. That was an afterthought.

 

But we'll see... I think it could, looking at the soundings, be parachuting on the E side.  This is some very arctic air (only delayed/offset by timing) moving in, and when this storm backs NW, the wind will be anomalously N relative to on-going heavier precipitation.  The salted air and minimal oceanic warmth input can get those babies to clump rather efficiently...

To re-iterate ... how could anyone when this...
