wxsniss Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 9 minutes ago, Typhoon Tip said: Re #1 ...it depends on what aspect: The models handled the advent of a system remarkably well...picking up on a storm way in advance and despite some arguable more or less impacting model cycle depictions, they persisted. If we want to get into details and particulars... like timing rain vs snow and amounts --- Oy yoi yoi.. Perhaps some of that ambiguity could have been cleared up by a pure phase.. We got into trouble with this guy because he wasn't really shaking hands between steams too well, and that sort of tilted the system and maybe for warm layers and dry-slots and other migraines. Re #2 ...probably should let the system truly wind down before assessing but ... yeah, it appears 1 to 1.5" should do it; perhaps half ? I'm less than certain about the exact numbers and that's also yet to be determined.. It may be the source region for the southern component having a hefty PWAT source. QPF is not a very good metric in atmospheric modeling though anyway? It's actually not uncommon for x-y-z locations to bust high or low regardless of predictability of event. Re: #1 model failure: That's true. We were commenting what an incredible consensus there was for a significant coastal as far back as 4-5 days before. But still, I feel like we've encountered complexities of a partial phase and tilted lows before... I'm surprised how lost guidance was even 12 hours before onset. The one blockbuster solution we had (all-timer at least for eastern SNE, but really a huge hit for most on this forum) was Euro 12z Friday. It was a slow discombobulated downhill from there.

Damage In Tolland Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Now that is man snow. Just finished shoveling. Started at 2:30..The way it was blowing i thought it would be powder. It was cement.

Ginx snewx Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Lately I always forget something during a big storm, last time it was clearing the metal shed roof, ended up with a roof failure, this time I was working on the John Deere and forgot to garage it. Lol getting older I guess. LT rain 36, 1.00 water exactly today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 LWM was 64 mph earlier. Ray it means March solar insolation helps neutralize the cold arctic air. But in this case I think the NE winds brought in more modified air even at your local. Deeper cold was more to the NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Wind's out of the north now. Temp holding steady 32.2/31. Winds consistently in the upper teens, low 20's. Gusts to about 30. Do I go over to a period of liquid precip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 In Concord MA, barely precipitating for last 15 minutes or so and what is faintly falling seems like a mix of snow, sleet, and some frozen stuff that's not quite graupel or sleet. The weather station says 31.4 degrees and it is windy. With compression from wet snow that's fallen the last couple of hours, eyeballing 7-9" on ground. Stuff is dense. Hopefully, we avoid any rain and I'm nordic skiing tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metagraphica Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Definitely unexpected to make it over 40 today. 40.2 was the high. Back down to 39.9 now. ~1.5" of liquid today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they were though - what do you mean? Lost for what? The models had a tilted system ...well, all evidence contained and thus far, that's worked out. It's true that we have encountered complexities of that nature and we'll do so again. It's part of the game. I think folks may have been attempting to redraft the synoptics in their head ..finding ways to get a better phased solution/hope of that sort of thing correcting in the closing hours or something. I've noticed in the past though ...in dealing with the general public and the weather, that happens a lot? People explain how things can correct toward more of what they or those like them, want, ...even spinning model run this or that toward that goal, and then... doe-eyed readers help feed-back and the next thing we know, folks are talked into believing a scenario is something its not. It's true that the runs sort of unraveled the better phased solution from last Friday (Euro), but ...technically, that was 4.5 at that temporal boundary, which I think is on the edge of it's wheelhouse scoring. Maybe there was hang over from that awesome Euro run, and ever since ... this system was never so far away that it couldn't get back there - but didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
