I want this.....

Wouldn't that be nice.  It would make up for what I missed out on over the weekend.

 

I'd be happy with 4 inches.  BOX seem to be holding off on the advisories, and while I expect them to be issued, as bullish as some are on here, there seems to be some thought that it could be on the lower end with a more southern solution.

Nice read this AM.

 

 

 

TUESDAY...

CONVINCED A MID-LEVEL IMPULSE INVOKES AN INFLECTION-POINT LOW ALONG
THE OFFSHORE BAROCLINIC ZONE SWEEPING SW-NE S AND E OF THE 40N/70W
BENCHMARK AS THE LOW UNDERGOES MATURATION. AN OVER-RUNNING ALL-SNOW
EVENT. 15:1 TO 20:1 SNOW-TO-LIQUID RATIOS CORROBORATED WITH STORM-
TOTAL AVERAGE PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS OF 0.3 TO 0.1 S-N. AN ADVISORY-
LEVEL EVENT OF AROUND 2-4 INCHES MAINLY S AND E OF HARTFORD-BOSTON.
ISOLATED HIGHER 6+ AMOUNTS POSSIBLE ALONG THE IMMEDIATE S-SHORELINE
OF NEW ENGLAND. SHARP N-S GRADIENT IN SNOWFALL AMOUNTS YET COULD SEE
SOME ENHANCEMENT ACROSS SE MA WITH A COASTAL-FRONT SETUP.

SO WHATS THE HOLD UP WITH ISSUING A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY? WELL A
SLIGHT N-S WOBBLE OF THE SYSTEM COULD EASILY CHANGE OUTCOMES ACROSS
CT/RI/MA. AS WE HAVE SEEN THIS WINTER SEASON...SOMETIMES CERTAINTIES
IN A FORECAST ARE NOT NAILED DOWN UNTIL 12-24 HOURS OUT. AS THIS
FORECAST DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR BEING SUB-ADVISORY /NOT RULING
OUT THE LIKELIHOOD OF SNOW/ AND A POSSIBLE BUST...WILL GIVE THE DAY-
CREW TO EVALUATE THE FORECAST AND MAKE A FINAL CALL.

TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...

WHAT IS INTERESTING WITH THIS LATEST FORECAST IS THE PRESENCE OF A
LINGERING LOW-LEVEL INVERTED-TROUGH IN WAKE OF THE SYSTEM OUTLINED
ABOVE. SIGNALS OF A CLASSIC NORLUN-TROUGH SETUP AS MID- TO UPPER-
LEVEL FEATURES AND ASSOCIATED COLD-POOL STREAM SE ACROSS THE REGION
INVOKING AN UNSTABLE PROFILE BENEATH WHICH AIR CONVERGES ALONG THE
TROUGH. MODERATE NARROW-BANDING OF SNOW ALONG THE TROUGH-AXIS AS
MOISTURE IS DRAWN NW ALONG THE 275K SURFACE CAPTURED BY FEATURES
ALOFT. ATTRIBUTABLE FORCING / INSTABILITY JUST AS STRONG AS WITH THE
COASTAL FRONT THAT DUMPED 12-22 INCHES IN PORTSMOUTH NH SATURDAY
NIGHT /PER PERSONAL COMMUNICATION WITH WEIR LUNDSTEDT...ONE OF THE
PRIMARY RESEARCHERS OF NORLUN TROUGHS/. WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS ONE
CLOSELY.

PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS AND TROUGH LOCATION / PLACEMENT ARE
TRICKY...BUT TYPICALLY THE MID-COAST OF MAINE IS
CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED. YET THERE IS SOME CONCERN AS FAR S AS NE
MA.

ENSEMBLE-MEMBER SOLUTIONS EXHIBITING SIGNIFICANT SPREAD INDICATING
THE LACK ANYTHING WELL-ORGANIZED. INDIVIDUAL CENTRAL PRESSURES ARE
TYPICAL / NON-ANOMALOUS. CONFIDENCE GAINED TOWARDS A NORLUN-
TROUGH SETUP MORESO OVER ANOTHER STRONG STORM SETUP. LETS HOPE IT
STAYS THAT WAY

LOL Marty Walsh having to tell people to STOP JUMPING OUT WINDOWS into snowbanks at his presser right now.  He says stop acting like little kids, knock it off! 

 

Darwinism there Ginxy at it's finest.

 

NAM looked fine.  Scott is probably right...4" is a good bet here barring a major change, 3-6 or 4-8.  Probably will see an ORHWXMAN type band on the NW side.

This looks like it slipping away to less than a inch NW of PVD-BOS and Maybe NW of IJD-GHG as well

 

Max made some great points....he hit it meteorologically when I was dumbing it down.   The s/w is more amplified initially but it runs into the shredder.  We need the 50/50 to slip away a bit like it's done many times this winter late in modeling.

The wildcard is going to be the little meso low that develops on the trough.  Most models have had this to some degree all along.  Right now maybe it clips Cape Anne per the models...but it's darn close and given what we just saw....this is another nightmare for Portland NWS and even Boston.  If that thing spins up near or over land someone will be measuring with the big ruler again.

RGEM looks like C-1" for most. It is closer to the coast with the inv trough though.

 

Looks like it hammers Cape Ann for a few hours...or is very very close.  The meso then spins up towards Portland.  based on what we saw of how the models handled a similar feature in the polar air....the fact that it's that "strong" on these runs is alarming.  It could be a harmlessly impressive spin over the water, or it could be 1-3" per hour snows over a small area.

Yeah I just saw the later panels. That nails Essex county.

That's Wed pm, right?

 

Best Potential for NE mass is with that, not this low grazing OTS

 

Thou could be a York Maine to Cape Elizabeth Special
