Storm and Mood Snow Feb 8-11

Kuchera is based primarily on the max temp in the bottom 500mb of the profile. So if you're progged to be 31-33F it heavily penalizes your ratios. If it's really cold, it'll overestimate your ratios sometimes. For the former scenario...usually those 2m temps are a little too warm when it's pounding 1/4SM snow.

 

right. that makes sense. thanks.

lol you love this so much.

But you are right. NNE mountains have shoveled hundreds of inches of EPS snows this year. Whenever you look at those like 10-14 day EPS means it like diverts to climo. You see the max in Maine/NH/NVT where the high terrain is and then it decreases as you head south.

I'm not trolling. Trust me. 2012 is in my head and how much I wished to be in Stowe and how I hated life. Lol. I'm not saying a word. I'm dreading being locked into the tool shed midway up Mansfield, only to be let out for water and poop breaks.

I see almost two things.

A) this swings a CCB way NW and demolishes a lot of the area in a quick 8hrs.

B) this occludes and is disorganized in that a band may form way NW of where everyone thinks, and bands that were supposed to be south are disorganized because of occlusion.

I admit. Part of me is concerned an arc of lift swings out way NW and nails a large area.

I actually really am not loving it. You know I love skiing so this isn't an easy season. I've probably passed on two or three potential weekends.

I'm obviously just ribbing and you are taking a historically awful season in stride.

Anyways not too get too off topic. Hopefully this system a least tries to get some inverted stuff back up into the mountains.

1030 AM UPDATE...

*** INCREASING RISK FOR HEAVY SNOW MONDAY RI AND EASTERN MA WITH

NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS POSSIBLE SOUTH OF BOSTON TO CAPE COD ***

12Z NAM HAS COME IN QUITE ROBUST WITH HEAVY SNOW THREAT INTO

EASTERN CT...RI AND EASTERN MA WITH NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. 12Z

RGEM NOT AS BIG AS NAM BUT TRENDING HEAVIER. DESPITE THE SYSTEM

TRACKING SO FAR OFFSHORE...THE INTENSE SURFACE LOW /975MB!/ AND

LARGE MID LEVEL CIRCULATION WILL ALLOW THE MOIST WARM CONVEYOR

BELT/TROWAL/FIREHOSE TO PIVOT CYCLONICALLY MUCH FARTHER WEST THAN

A TYPICAL STORM TRACK SOUTHEAST OF THE 40N/70W BENCHMARK. IN

ADDITION THE 12Z NAM IS MOST SKILLFUL INSIDE 36 HRS. WILL WAIT TO

EVALUATE ALL 12Z GUID BUT AS OF NOW LEANING TOWARD THE 12Z NAM.

THIS WILL TRANSLATE TO HEAVY SNOW THREAT WESTWARD INTO EASTERN CT-

WORCESTER HILLS ALL OF EASTERN MA /INCLUDING CAPE COD AND ISLANDS/

AND RI. STRONG LOW LEVEL JET OF UP TO 65 KT OVER NANTUCKET

COMBINED WITH HEAVY SNOW MAY YIELD NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AT

TIMES ACROSS COASTAL PLYMOUTH COUNTY...CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS.

SNOW INITIALLY WILL BE WET AND HEAVY OVER SOUTHEAST MA THEN

TRANSITIONING TO DRIER/POWDERY SNOW. HOWEVER THIS WILL RESULT IN A

RISK FOR DOWN TREE LIMBS AND POWER OUTAGES ACROSS SOUTHEAST MA.

LOOKS LIKE A COASTAL FRONT WILL SETUP ACROSS EASTERN MA THAT WILL

ENHANCE SNOWFALL BUT ALSO WITH A SHARP CUTOFF ON THE WESTERN EDGE

AS SHALLOW COLD/DRY ARCTIC AIRMASS BLEEDS SOUTHWARD. THIS ARCTIC

AIRMASS WILL YIELD OES ENHANCEMENT FIRST ACROSS CAPE ANN AREA AND

EVENTUALLY BLEED SOUTHWARD DOWN THE EASTERN MA COASTLINE.

SNOWFALL...POTENTIAL 6-12" ACROSS MUCH OF EASTERN MA /INCLUDING

CAPE COD AND ISLANDS/ RI...POSSIBLY WESTWARD INTO EASTERN CT AND

NORTHWARD INTO THE WORCESTER HILLS. LOW RISK OF 18+ ACROSS COASTAL

PLYMOUTH COUNTY TO THE UPPER CAPE AS OES AND LAND/SEA CONVERGENCE

IS MAXIMIZED OVER THIS REGION.

STAY TUNED...MUCH MORE TO COME THIS AFTERNOON. THOUGH START

PLANNING FOR MAJOR IMPACT TO MORNING COMMUTE INTO THE AFTERNOON

ACROSS RI AND EASTERN MA.
