Super Snow Sunday 2/15-Party Like it's 1717


40/70 Benchmark

Recommended Posts

Can anyone speed up the RGEM?  I'm hoping to hear something good from a reliable model before bed.

The NAM looked like a powdery 6" for you.  Actually probably 2" in a few spots and 8" in others, depending on where banding sets up.  That would be a great score from a clipper.  If we weren't looking for blizzards we'd really appreciate these potent clippers.

That NAM depiction is not happening. Nobody is getting sixty inches of snow from this lol. During Nemo in 2013, the NAM had a run where it gave parts of Central CT and N.E. Mass and Long Island 70 inches of accumulation. The NAM is nuts most times, you can't take that depiction seriously.

This is going to be a Beast no doubt for somebody, but not 60 inches...!

I saved that clown map somewhere. It's the best.

Oh, Nammy.  I'll take the 18z GFS.  That worked for a lot of folks.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought most said during today that a more sw development or trend was more snow for CT or is this still the case?

 

Still the case and while the 0z NAM was a step in the right direction it's not good enough.  

 

What might be hurting this from digging a bit more and further SW is the fact where the MLJ streak begins to round the base of the trough.  It begins to do so once the closed 500mb circulation just enters into western NY/northern PA and with a jet streak of 160+ knots(which is FOOKING SICK) that doesn't leave much room for further digging.

What's hurting this is that it's a clipper sweeping through the upper Lakes.  From literally north of Lake Huron.  Not the midwest or even the Ohio Valley.  Sure it's a redeveloper that's going to blow up, and they sometimes produce... but not usually from this steep an angle.  Getting 6+ inches out of that kind of setup is unusual and should be considered a great score.

True but in this case you have the polar jet interacting with the sub-tropical jet with phasing occurring near our general vicinity.  This will lead to some explosive cyclogenesis but it's just a matter of where that occurs.  It's going to be tough or a bit more difficult to get everything to occur much further west I think unless much deeper digging started to occur much, much earlier.  All in all I think the chances of something more significant in terms of snowfall back west across CT and central MA are not so great but as far as just snows are concerned it's a question as to whether much of eastern MA is looking at potentially 18''+

it is a ridiculous  angle

It ticked about 10 miles east but still well south of other guidance.  Not caving on that depiction, not yet anyway.

 

 

It is southeast actually...but that is more amplified...by the time we reach 00z Sunday, a more amplified trough will be a bit SE of the less amplified version...earlier on it's S and SSW as the trough is still positively tilted.
