weathafella Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 For those curious about NYC 26.9...FEB 11-12 2006 25.8...DEC 26-27 1947 25.1...JAN 22-23 2016...TOTAL SNOW FORECAST OF 28.1 INCHES 21.0...MAR 12-14 1888 20.9...FEB 25-26 2010 20.2...JAN 7-8 1996 20.0...DEC 26-27 2010 19.8...FEB 16-17 2003 19.0...JAN 26-27 2011 18.1...JAN 22-24 1935 AND MAR 7-8 1941 I believe the 12/26/47 number is from I the old Battery location were official records were then. When they moved to Central Park, they had the rcrds and replaced the battery numbers. 25.8 was from the battery but 26.4 was Central Park. I remember because as a kid growing up in the area I had all the numbers committed to memory by about age 10...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Still snowing, snow caked to the windows and side of the house. Wife just came in and guesstimate 6-8 but I think closer to 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorEastermass128 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 About 4" should do it. North Reading was about the line to the significant stuff. North Andover had a half inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolri_wx Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Snow is done here but winds are picking up. About 8-9" on the ground, tough to measure due to drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariof Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Saw only a couple of flakes here that lost their way from the main storm. Oh well. Ran in to a wall coming down 95 earlier. Dry to S+ with 1/2 mi vis in 10 miles. Similar on 93 I'm sure. State caught off guard, few plows out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Is Scooter still doing naked snow angels in PYM? His casa must be getting hit hard, unless he's just north of that band As a side note, the band north of BOS is strengthening again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 4 Seasons Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Just took a final measurement...seems the accumulating snow has now ending, just light snow / flurries. could pick up another few tenths at the most.. 14.4" Final 11:15PM North Haven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Before it fades, what's the Memento tattoo we're giving this blizzard regarding guidance? My impression was that many pro forecasters (and myself and many here) were led astray by the Euro / RGEM and skepticism of the NAM, but in the end the NAM led the way and crushed other guidance with the significantly more north track and prodigious qpf especially in NYC, as well as the easternmost of the dual-low kicking back a CCB for us. Do we mark this one, like Juno Jan 29 2015, as another really impactful Euro subpar performance within 24 hours? And a rare but really significant NAM coop?

ryanjn Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 HRRR has been picking up on that meso band along Norfolk County many runs ago. Interesting. HRRR usually does pretty well. Obv it has to be close to the storm to see it through, but still. I'm a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we mark this one, like Juno Jan 29 2015, as another really impactful Euro subpar performance within 24 hours? And a rare but really significant NAM coop? There was some discussion earlier that I wasn't part of about perhaps the reason for the NAM doing well...and I agree with the theory. In this storm, the synoptics were not in doubt...it was a massive ULL with nothing overly complicated like multiple streams phasing or multiple vortmaxes phasing which we sometimes see in coastal storms. So this was less chance for the NAM to screw up synoptic aspects of the forecast where it has a decided disadvantage against models like the Euro. Given just how intensely moisture-laden and convective the system was as it exited the southeast, this is where the NAM could shine without "worrying" if the synoptics were wrong since things were already really set in stone there....it could model the latent heat much better than the Euro and other models. That mattered in a storm so big and so convective with the really monster ULL. It pumped the heights up more than other guidance and it was correct (for the most part). I certainly wouldn't go around trusting the NAM in future forecasts, but it's an interesting case study this time. We did mention earlier that it tends to score coups occasionally in very convective systems. 1/12/11 sort of matched that...though there wasn't nearly the spread in guidance in that system as this one.
