Yes.  The difference between like your area and the east slope is upslope.  You can see it again back towards ALB on the east slopes of the Catskills.  Also the speed convergence

 

As we've stated, the low level cold will enhance a low level inversion with WAA above that, and with veering in the profile, the best enhancement will certainly be on those east slopes, and wherever the coastal front is. 

 

The overrunning will produce a more general, widespread precipitation out of the mid-level cloud deck, but the ENE upslope flow will really take it to town with seeder feeder processes as that mid level precip falls into the low level orographics. Even up here, as you move north and out of the best mid-level overrunning, there's still fairly significant precipitation along the Spines and ridges due to orographics.  But the mid-level lift is weaker, which is why the Hudson Valley to Champlain Valley sees decreasing precip as you move north.

 

There's also the speed convergence and coastal front enhancement in eastern Mass as that faster moving air off the ocean starts to pile up and lift along the coastal plain like a big highway pile up, as it encounters land friction.  Lots of meso-scale stuff going on. 

 

Great post – such an interesting event!

Wow, MPM is 20 miles east of the Berkshire crest?  I didn't know that.  That's more than the difference between Burlington and the summit of Mount Mansfield.

 

That's actually the distance to Florida, which is the peak of the Hoosac Range, not the crest of the Berkshires.  I'm 30 miles east of the NY line, and 8 miles south of Halifax, VT.

 

He is in a great location with some decent elevation but certainly misses some of those E NY/ Berks deform zones that people assume he is getting crushed by. Pete's location further SW and topography cashes in on events that graze us to the E. Misconceptions abound about W MA because most people assume nothing really exists W of Worcester anyway.

 

Yup--I'm usually east of the death bands.  So now everyone can stop complaining about my bitching.

actually thats :cory:

No I'm in Cumberlnd, the NE corner, So I wouldn't get in on that. I'm just driving around in Boston thinking there's no room to put 2 inches of snow let alone 20 inches. I still, STILL don't see how this storm gives 12"-24" Totals. Long events Never accumulate well. I've had an inch in 10 hours of snow. Usual for these evnets.

But on The good side, this is turning into my all-time dream where it's an apocalyptic situation over a major area because of just simply too much Snow. 3 12" Storms for us in TWO WEEKS??

And DO NOT WORRY, I'm doing a statistics project on all-time Snow Depths and all-time Snow Amounts in a two week. I'll have the statistics for you later Sunday and by the way my concert is still on in Milton at 4 PM.post-2792-0-06397500-1423359057_thumb.jppost-2792-0-01000200-1423359080_thumb.jp

I'm confused then. How far from the Berkshire crest are you...ie when does water start flowing west and not east into the CT River Valley?

I'm a little nervous about NWS and others broad brushing 12"+ across most of W MA.  It certainly seems like this set-up could feature some periods/regions of horrible snow growth. 

 

I don't think nervous is the right word.  But I know what you mean. I'll reiterate what Tip, Max (?), myself and perhaps others have said--official accumulations may well be significantly higher than post storm totals on the ground due to the nature and duration of the event.

 

20.7/19
