Death, taxes, and ag3's homerism.

When you consider the forecast region as a whole, BOX>OKX.  

Not by much. Models had 15"+ for Boston and they ended with 10"-12". I had 10.4" in Queens.

Also, please do not bring sports forum into a real section like this. You are a Met. Act serious in here, like I do.

 

Truth is NYC/LI/SWCT had: 8"-16"

Boston Metro and nearby had: 10"-18"

Very similar.

10-18" > 8-16" 

Very similar, but they edged us out.  It's OK, life goes on.

I am simply pointing out that they had similar #s to us. No need to attack me based on any post I make in off topic sections. This is a real section and I barely post here anymore.

 

Boston region got a similar storm to our region. Period.

system was moving too fast for much more than these totals.  

 

They were using the false Kuchera maps also. Forecast for them was also 1"-1.5" of QPF. Similar to our area. People got thrown off by the BS Kuchera method.

In the end, Euro, Rgem, NAMs + most models were very accurate with their .75"-1.25" of Precip. That's exactly what fell.

Kuchera maps need to be used with caution-some were incredibly overdone like the Euro which had widespread 21-26 inches for CT/LI/RI/MA

The Kuchera maps overdid it in Northern NJ as well.  Inflated totals at least 5-8 inches for some areas here depending on the model.

The storm was a little better developed for them than for us. One of the reasons why they average more snow than the NYC area. We still had a very respectable storm. 8-14" and locally more is nothing to sneeze at. The people who got jipped were SW of us toward Philly. PHL is still at only 8" of snow for the winter.

The Long Beach total I saw seemed low. In my yard I measured between 9 and 13" and averaged it to 11". But the drifting made it quite tough to be accurate, it's possible I was off.

It was horrible for Phl metro and nj area 

Why NJ though? NJ received precip but it moved in a bit faster and CNJ and south wasted it to Rain and Sleet.

Newark and North received the .75"-1" the Euro and most models were advertising. Hence 6"-10" of snow there.

Negative. It was too wet in eastern pa and in nj. Euro had 1.00+ for most of eastern nj and that didn't happen. Changeover was not a problem it was lack of qpf and CCB 

 

kewr .8 yesterday the euro at 00z Thursday had over a 1.00 for them. 

Phl only had .5

The Euro also went nuts with the Kuchera ratios. It gave us like 15 or 16 inches here with Kuchera ratios, yet we ended up with 6. I remember looking at the HRRR runs and the Kuchera maps were printing out about the same snow amounts as the 10:1 maps. Same with NAM and RGEM. The Euro really overestimated snow ratios, unlike the other models. I thought the Euro did a terrible job with this storm.

Agree 100% I think we need to keep in mind how the euro likes to be to qpf happy in miller B's. This is the second time it screwed us with this type of situation. The nam and rgem did really well with this.

January 7th was a way more enjoyable storm imby and longer duration of snow

Not here...got 5" in 1/7 and 9.7" in 2/9. Yesterday had blinding snow rates and high winds, incredibly low visibility.

I had 7 I believe on 1/7 and 6.5 yesterday. We had heavy snow and low visibility for about two hours yesterday. The rest of the storm was pretty meh. When we had decent returns over us in the late morning and afternoon that didn't do much. During that time  dim sun was through the clouds and rates were horrible

Kuchera is not the Euro forecast. The Euro 10:1 ratios and QPF did fine for NYC and LI. But you need to boost the ratios to get closer to reality in the colder interior spots. Vendors would probably do better to leave those Kuchera algo products off their sites. Not sure why some were expecting much better than 10:1 near the coast based on the sounding profiles.

Roads are horrendous around the island. Surprised the main roads, other than highways, are in such bad shape. Really just awful. 

same here alot of frozen gunk on the roads with big ruts-I think it was because of the warm ground after the 65 degree day-the first inch turned into an impermiable layer of ice.

But why then did the other models when factoring in Kuchera ratio not show amounts much higher than 10:1? Like I said the HRRR Kuchera maps and 10:1 maps printed out almost the same amount of snow. It was only the Euro Kuchera ratio maps that were showing much higher than 10:1. That led me to believe that it was the Euro model itself that was overestimating snow ratios. If it was just a flawed Kuchera method then I would think the other models would show inflated totals as well. Maybe I'm completely wrong about this, but it's what I assumed. So if I'm wrong I'd like to know why the Euro Kuchera snow maps were way off the but the Kuchera maps for the other models were not.

The Euro didn't overestimate snow ratios. Weenies were cherry picking snow maps to post-most or all knowledgeable posters and mets said to throw the high ratio stuff away. If you looked on Eurowx or adjusted to the 10-1 ratio or less which is what happened, the totals were much better.
