It comes to the wet bias models have from very strong low level warm air advection in combination with less lift, warmer and drier air in the DGZ. That's why many were doubting those high numbers that Noyes and others had. Just remember to always take the under on exorbitant amounts with these setups. Well Noyes numbers... stuck out like a rip read off a clown map from Sunday's guidance, was clearly ridiculous by the 0z suite Monday morning. But we have seen heavy WAA produce a foot in 4-6 hours, and this system was widely discussed here as having that potential. Gulf connection, healthy PWATs, and almost all guidance showing exactly that. Wiz did mention dry air in the DGZ and frontolysis, and I don't know if those were factors. Let's not forget posters in eastern SNE who expressed concerns Sunday (me included) were dismissed as premature bridge jumpers. Not trying to boast, this was a PITA system and it threw off pros at NWS on down. My own call to co-workers in Boston: 10-16 Sunday, changed to 8-12 Monday night, and still busted high. Thankfully there were still policy impacts of schools clinics etc closings to spare me the "meteorologists are terrible this was not 12-18 like they all promised".

I think Boston proper and right at the coast got porked from boundary layer. But just inland made near a foot. That started to look that way yesterday. Otherwise Boston proper would have done 12" easily. But low pressure near NYC will furnace the layers below 850 easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if the early dryslot hurt them...maybe left behind some ugly dry layers that took a little bit to overcome...because even the areas that got a foot pretty close to BOS had a lot of 32-33F snow. Just speculating. What did BOS actually end up with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Airglow Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 2:25 of Blizzard Conditions at BOS - seems about right. LWM was the only BOX station to verify a blizzard. PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA 515 PM EDT TUE MAR 14 2017 ...Evaluation of Blizzard Conditions for the March 17, 2017 Winter Storm... The National Weather Service in Taunton has reviewed the observations from the winter storm that affected our region today. We have determined that the only official reporting site that met blizzard criteria was Lawrence, MA (LWM). The definition of a blizzard is that falling and/or blowing snow reduces visibility to below 1/4 mile along with sustained winds or winds that frequently gust to 35 mph or more...and that these are the predominant reported conditions for 3 consecutive hours. When reviewing whether a particular observation location had blizzard conditions, we counted visibilities equal to 1/4 mile since that is often quite low for an automated visibility sensor to detect. At Lawrence, MA (LWM)...blizzard criteria were met for 4 hours and 1 minute from 1154 AM to 355 PM. At Boston, MA (BOS)...blizzard criteria were met for 2 hours and 25 minutes 1135 AM to 200 PM. At Marshfield, MA (GHG)...there were some missing data. But it appears that blizzard criteria were met for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. At Beverly, MA (BVY)...blizzard criteria were met for 1 hour and 31 minutes from 1253 PM to 224 PM. After a 21 minute gap, there was another period of blizzard conditions from 245 PM to 315 PM. If that period is counted, then criteria were met for 2 hours and 1 minute. At Windsor Locks/Hartford, CT (BDL)...blizzard criteria were met for 1 hour and 55 minutes from 1205 PM to 200 PM. At Worcester, MA (ORH), blizzard criteria were met for 1 hour and 51 minutes from 1254 PM to 245 PM. There were 25 additional minutes of blizzard criteria, but with significant gaps from the continuous period. At Willimantic, CT (IJD), blizzard criteria were met, but very sporadically and for less than 1 hour. $$ FIELD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
