J Paul Gordon Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 So 12" instead of 15? It still seems to high. Is elevation a factor? That can make a big difference here in ORH with a range of elevations from just over 300' on Lake Quinsigamond on the east side and 1000' at the airport station on the west side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Kuchera doesnt just work one way, ie more snow. Its actually a better snow map for late season or marginal airmass systems....that is if one wants to live and die by snow map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 seeing as it's a hot topic ... Kuchero from Twin Cities NWS: (EDIT, WRONG ...not Twin Cities.. ) " Where the model forecasts snow: -- Find the maximum temperature in the lowest 500 hPa in degrees K (MaxT). -- If MaxT is greater than 271.16K, then the liquid equivalent ratio (RAT) is 12.0 + 2.0*(271.16-MaxT). -- If MaxT is less than 271.16K, then the liquid equivalent ratio (RAT) is 12.0 + (271.16-MaxT). -- The hourly snowfall is RAT multiplied by the hourly liquid precipitation total. The accumulated snowfall is the sum of all the hourly snow values up the given forecast hour. It's a Navy product - btw... according to them. So is the NOGAPS ...now franken fritter model ... not that it matters, but... heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The advisory snow in RI and SE MA is actually probably from the CCB on Saturday as things collapse SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 For eastern SNE: This is shaping up to be another mesos (RGEM, NAM) vs. globals (Euro, GFS)... I missed the negative sentiments all morning, but going through guidance now, 12z GFS and Euro both held their ground. Euro even ticked slightly east. Net stable or positive trends for eastern SNE on both, at least for CCB portion. What would be the main driver of a further northwest track? In the March 14 debacle, it was at least in part intense convection / pumping heights downstream --- something the mesos seem to have a better handle of. In this setup, it is timing and degree of interaction with northern stream --- something the globals may have a better handle of? We'll see how it plays out. Interesting night ahead. And we probably can all agree on this: so thankful we have something interesting to track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomNH Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I prob shouldn't be, but I'm morbidly curious what the 18z NAM looks like after undergoing some pretty significant synoptic changes at 12z. By right I'd expect it to come in noticeably colder, but I'm not too confident of that actually happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say which period gives them more. I don't have small enough time intervals to see. Thanks. Something to keep in mind with those snow maps, in terms of impact. For example, sounds like an area near Boston per the euro would gross 8" total but see the first 4 melt/compact/wash away and then end up with 4" net otg as the back end moves through.
