40/70 Benchmark Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Post mortem -- overall I think we did a pretty good job forecasting this one despite a bust low on the western shoreline and the northeast corner. Really glad we didn't bite on the warning amounts to the MA border like NWS and a few TV stations did. http://www.southernconnecticutweather.com/forecasters-discussion/post-mortem-1232016-blizzard Nice site.

SR Airglow Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Nice site. Thanks. Been a labor of love to get it where it is today but it's all worth it when you nail a forecast and tens of thousands of people see it. Not so much fun though when you bust badly and tens of thousands of people see it To be fair though, I've got an awesome team working with me that makes it all possible -- I could never do something of that magnitude alone(I tried for a spell last winter and it didn't work out so well, was basically like working two full time jobs and both suffered as a result).

Hoth Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 god I loved that storm 26" in that one. Fantastic. Just missed the dry slot where I was in Ct then. 1/27 was fantastic too. I believe the models busted on that one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I agree with Will. I grew up in SE MA and watched the weather closely, and I also cannot recall that feature. I feel like you need a deeper standing wave to generate subsidence that deep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Had a 43 mph gust out of the due East on the Davis at work during the storm, just was able to view the data. Probably highest due East wind here since the station was installed in 12. Hard to get high due east winds being blocked by Lantern Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Quincy's CT map is pretty good. It's a smoothed out version that gets a general sense of accumulations but there are always exceptions within the color grids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Valley Snowman Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Quincy's CT map is pretty good. It's a smoothed out version that gets a general sense of accumulations but there are always exceptions within the color grids. I was questioning my 3.4 a little bit but I did drive a couple miles west towards North Thompsonville right by the river yesterday and their did look like there was probably an inch less snow and East Longmeadow and Somers also came in with about 3.5.

RIcoastalWX Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The weird thing about the RI hole is that I've been following wx really closely for a long time, and forecasted by myself for nearly a decade, and the only time I remember seeing it was recently. Probably just a coincidence, 3 times starting with the March 2013 storm. I'm not talking dryslots obviously which they can be prone to...anyone in the SE can be prone...but that ugly standing wave look. I simply do not recall seeing it before March 2013 and I've been a sicko who saves so many radar images over the years. / \ / \ THIS I've lived in the Weekapaug/Shelter Harbor area in the extreme SE portion of Westerly for the past 30 years. (A newbie compared to Ginx's time spent here) but I too have never seen anything like this before March 2013. And I too am a radar watcher. On Saturday, you could see the hole trying to form in NW RI first in the late afternoon. I had a feeling we were going to experience the hole once again and it seems the snow finally gave up the fight and the hole finally opened up in the early evening. I didn't expect it to be as pronounced or as identical to the March 2013 event however. What's interesting to note in both March 2013 and Saturday was that the immediate south coast (along Rte.1 and south basically) was able to keep at least light snow going for a while. Bands of snow - although lessening in intensity - continued to move WSW along the coast while areas just to the north were already dry. We held onto varying intensity of snows for at least an hour after areas just to the north were already dry. Not sure if that means anything - but just something else to note if anyone decides to look into this further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I meant the low totals in Stonington. I thought Westerly had like 15. On the the direct ocean in Weekapaug, further west had 10-11 Ashaway RI, I'd say probably 8 ish on the border, will know at lunch heading that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
