USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Look Ray, every time a major lake effect snow event looks this good at day 4 and actually happens, much more snow falls instead especially with these LES events. Was the BUF event last year forecasted 4 days out no, it happens within 2 days of time. We will leave on Thursday morning, arrive there in the afternoon, we wouldn't miss much in the way of snow as 850mb temps cool. Then the real stuff happens Thursday night, we take video nonstop of the event. We need a driver and a decent vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 I'm trying to get Brian to come along as well, but he might have to work, I will take the bus to south station and then the subway to your area and we meet there, or we will drive to your place with Brian and we can all leave there at the same time.

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 I just thought it would be nice to go with a friend or two to see this event, since nothing else is going on right now, I thought I might go see a for sure thing.

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 I just had flurries around 902am EST, here in Harwich, MA a good band has developed over Cape Cod Bay where the strongest echoes are located, it is moving into PYM county.

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 The December 31st system is getting colder on the models, even if there is barely any QPF associated with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Yeah Ray, you think? Right now it appears the 31st system is trending colder with each passing model cycle. NAM is getting colder. Maybe we can squeeze a surprise out of that system. I might wait like Ray said for an even bigger LES event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qg_omega Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 This is a crazy thread, how much snow does cape cod average on pure OES? It can't be more than a couple of inches at most. Most of the snow is ocean enhanced during synoptic systems and I would think those snows favor areas to the west and southwest of the actual cape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 If my friend Brian can make it out of work for this weekend, we are going to Tug Hill Plateau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Yeah the OES events before Synoptic events favor PYM county within northeasterly winds. I'm going to the Tug Hill if my friend can get off work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthCoastMA Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Places like Manomet/Sandwich do very well with ocean enhancement on a NNE or even a N wind during departing Noreasters. But yeah..more appreciable OES seems to occur around the south shore on a due NE wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 There are sort of 3 types of OE stuff. Direct ocean effect which is just bands of snow off the ocean. Ocean enhanced, which show up as a band, or cellular echoes moving from east to west across SE MA. These tend to be rimed flakes, but will add to totals. There is also the coastal front type ocean effect in which moist air is lifted up and over CF across SE MA. Ocean enhanced stuff happens a lot and does not need a big temp differential. A 50kt LLJ slamming against the coastline will do it. I see it often. Very notable in rain events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 That is a great point Scott. You see all kinds of ocean enhanced echoes during Nor'easters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 OE potential is there, strong on the GFS, not sure about the EURO. Anyone have any thoughts on this? We are within 30 hours of the NAM being in range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
