Dude these only happen maybe once a year in the forecast area. it's there on the models. it will not be denied, except possibly over your house. If you want to see what occurs, check the philly eagles snow game last year. Thats one great example right there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm done looking at the models, global or mesoscale until then because imo, any model showing a norlun over us is really suspect, again, just imo, based off history. Either way, tomorrow will be very interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh. It's actually two individuals: Nogueria and Lundstedt. It should be written NORLUN, but I suppose after enough usage it becomes a word in its own right... sort of like DelMarVa.

forkyfork Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 given the sfc convergence axis i'd actually place the precip band a little SW of where the NAM has it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pamela Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The RGEM animation looks rather sickly (in a bad way)...though some areas see a few hours of moderate to heavy snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkyfork Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 also, if you look at the wind map, the strongest winds don't happen until the trough dissipates. so wind actually won't be an issue with fracturing dendrites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchel Volk Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 RGEM is pretty close to the NAM idea, I now think there will be a norlun in our area. This make predicting snowfall amounts very problematic. I am thinking aroun 4" for NYC but subject to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said all along that I thought this was a 1-3" to 2-4" for northern 1/2 of NJ and immediate NYC area. UNLESS norlun was an influence. No norlun influence I still think 2-3" is a good average in the area I mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also doing what models often do with norluns, not extending them far enough inland, the convergence with land often causes the snow band to extend more inland than what the model shows.

In a similar tricky setup with the blizzard the RGEM was too far east with the CCB by 20-40 miles or so, if thats the case again with this Boston may be fine, the RGEM may be too far east with things out their way.
