SR Airglow Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 We're inside 100 hours now and this seems like our next legitimate threat so I figured we'd get a thread going for this. Looks like a generally light/moderate event with a setup very similar to the one we saw last weekend but perhaps a bit colder overall. 12z GFS starting us off nicely by increasing snow totals a bit across the board. Looks like a generally widespread 3-5" sort of deal on it except for Maine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Euro looks decent..prob advisory. Forcing actually looks the best further north initially (N of pike into CNE) but then tries to collapse into SE areas late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Euro is further north and a better look for CNE/NNE then the GFS or GGEM, Both of those keep the heavier precip south of CNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Euro is further north and a better look for CNE/NNE then the GFS or GGEM, Both of those keep the heavier precip south of CNE Glad to hear. GFS 120-hr clown maps have consistently been portraying our respective BYs as the snowhole of New England, in fact of everything north of about Lat 38 and east of Lon 100 - shared with far NW Maine, just like climo would predict.

Baroclinic Zone Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 GFS Snow maps are implying an elevation dependent event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 than why the blotchy look on the GFS snow maps? I think maybe it's just picking of on (and perhaps over doing) some elevation related enhancement. Surface temps look below freezing outside of the Cape (even there only looks to go above freezing halfway through the event)...so whatever it is its unlikely related to pcp type/temps. Bottom line, don't fret over model snow maps. Looks like a solid 2-4" type deal, maybe 3-5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping with their stellar performance thus far this year, OKX probably debating pulling the trigger on 1-2'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWolf Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 If this event looks colder than last Sat night into Sunday mornings was, then we will all be fine. I was snowing at 30 degrees with that one, and that gave us a nice event here in interior CT. Hoping the same with this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line, don't fret over model snow maps. Looks like a solid 2-4" type deal, maybe 3-5". Certainly not fretting over anything, it just looked odd and the system is not all that strong and does track over us bringing in some WAA ahead of it so temps will be around freezing. I agree that it looks like an advisory type snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 than why the blotchy look on the GFS snow maps? Probably because srfc temps start to warm near 32 verbatim? I've seen them do that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 If we can trend that northern stream shortwave in the lakes a bit deeper, then we would increase our chances for higher end advisory snows or some 6"+ lollis. It would infuse just a bit of extra moisture from the south. Otherwise we're trying to live off of just pure WAA from the southwest which would keep totals in that 2-4 range most likely.
