psuskiteam Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Interesting that the HRRR (19Z) continues with another 5+ inches for southern NH (10:1 of course...) despite the obvious dryslot with not much perceivable backfilling.

wxsniss Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Some thoughts as dry slot is almost here: 1) Was there a single model that had a good handle of this storm? Euro: too cold in eastern SNE, was still showing 1 foot snow in Boston 0z last night 7 hours before start. Way too high on qpf in most of SNE. RGEM: had rain all the way to Worcester GFS: no Maybe the Op NAM? Para-NAM seemed too cold. 2) Why were basically 100% of models way too high on qpf in most of SNE? I mean Euro was showing > 2" Philly-NYC-all of SNE last night. That was part of why forecasts busted way too high as we expected much better rates pre-changeover. 3) Boston basically had ~2-2.5 hours of heavy snow with decent snowgrowth beginning 11:30. NWS / TV and otherwise forecasts busted too high across the board, but it was close. The poor snow growth since 2pm and eventual changeover robbed us an additional 3-4 inches between 2-4pm. 4) Regarding the poor snowgrowth around 2-4pm... I expected much better from soundings... seems like good DGZ omega and saturation, plenty cold column. Here was 1hour RAP for 18z KBOS: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 1 hour ago, CTValleySnowMan said: This is why many would still prefer the benchmark storm or just inside for a track here in SNE. These huggers tend to thump and slot after the WCB rips through if you are too close to the center. Should have been more leary of model qpf output. Maybe convective feedback? Deform action looks beautiful in Upstate/ CNY. I would take huge dendrites ripping with a light wind in deform heaven over this type of scenario today. I never usually materialize huge wind gusts or lose power here in the valley anyways. I recall several days back posting opines about the long wave, wave spacing issue modeled during this entire synoptic evolution, from the eastern Pacific across the breadth of N/A ... specifically that the ridge in the west was a bit too far west for ideology. It's early for the fairest retrospect ... but, come tomorrow, I suspect my opinion won't have changed; what this system had going for it was a reasonably favorable lead side cold air mass... partially locked in place by some +PP up N (but not a lot either). That helped feed back on preventing a surface track more west due to BL resistance... Probably that, and having the mid and upper morphology being as far E as it was (still less than ideal..) allowed for a snowier impact during this system's evolution. Still a lot of fun though - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that band about 50mi to far to the east in NYS...damn. I always expected this s streamer to trend west, until the end, but it went a bit further than I thought.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I should consider myself Lucky to still be getting accumulating snow. I am right on the edge of the dry air, MPM is about 8 miles further into it. 25F. SN. Peak gust of 24 mph here but I bet double that a few hundred feet higher.

wackymann Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Nice storm in Merrimack Valley still snowing pretty hard and we have over a foot of snow in Chelmsford. Waiting for it to stop before we start snow blowing. We won't reach the 18 inches they predicted, but it's still our biggest storm of the year.

40/70 Benchmark Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 QPF is often often over modeled east of the H7 low, but I though that the low level convergence would have been of a bit more benefit. This storm was very similar to Boxing day, minus the 18" band near Boston. I'm not sure why the coastal from was essentially non-existant in this event.

Any "buffer" we would have had from that cold air mass 24 hours prior was squandered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
