Hmmm see I think Miller As are the best tracks for up here. Miller Bs are too far east most of the time.

 

Not to derail this thread, But i find storms that develop off the delmarva seem to perform better up here then the ones coming out of the Gulf that redevelop off the Carolinas or Hatteras and move up the coast

There's some truth to that; the Miller B (Del M.) tend to have a lot more torque dynamics, because they come down in the N streams wicked wind belt, any S/W embedded in that is likely to have the whopper voritcity max/DPVA.  It's usually a burning fuse looking for a pool of explosive.  

 

But we can't discount Miller A's (obviously we know this, just sayin'...) entirely.  Jan 20th, 1978 dumped some 19" of snow at Logan, from a Miller A that had all of a 1000mb low associated. It was really just a massive plume of southern PWAT air bundled up the coast by relatively weaker mechanics. 

 

I mean, things offset...  Case in point, many of our storms during our record breaking season this year, had paltry water content. Can we imagine if that 108" was all blue opal snow?   Man, the impact... I mean, you guys have to appreciate how lucky we were that was not dense pack that froze right after each event.  We'd a had pancake housing and thoroughfare shut downs way way more common.  We got it easy.  

 

Anyway, a super rich lop over pattern can puke snow with very weak pressure structures.  Meanwhile, I've seen clippers with 50kt back side wind pulses dump a gossamer 6"

the ones which move nne off va capes...feb 1988, apr 83, jan 03, jan 99, feb 87(yes there was one) just off the top of my head

Well if those were the good ole days , I can provide about 30 more that screwed you. There is a reason why you avg maybe 8" more than I do.

i acknowledged that i get screwed in almost all set ups, those just dont iritate me as much...the result for me is always generally the same...and i am aware this isnt the thread for this so my apologies to the moderators..

And I'm not being a dink. Trust me, I can get screwed big time where I am. Probably will again soon enough. It's a high variance area for snow. We are all at the mercy of Mother Nature. Nothing we can do.
