I only thought it was some good info for the Kuchera apologists I've been seeing lately. Just because it's a slightly more advanced algorithm than straight 10:1 doesn't mean it's better.

I wonder if at some point we'll just be using automated sensors to measure snowfall using some advanced algorithm. Everything else is automated so why not lol. Just measure liquid equivalence and use some math to figure out what the proper ratio should be and then come up with a snowfall total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Single digits when the ball drops. Really good agreement on a snowstorm from all the major models over a week out, which is very rare. How it'll actually transpire varies considerably. I see something closer to PD 2 than Jan 96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The set up is on point. 6-7 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed this too, Boxing Day is actually a great example. It was supposed to be a 36 hour storm and was just about 24 hours. The only exceptions I can think of right now were Jan 1996 and Jan 2016 which were 30 hour storms. But I can't think of any 48+ hour storms unless you go way back......March 1888 and that Feb 1920 72 hour storm with 4.5" of LE (20" of snow/sleet mix) that really intrigues me. Any reason why these extreme duration storms don't seem to be as common as they used to be, JP? March 1888 and Feb 1920 must be extremely rare patterns that they haven't repeated like that even though it's been nearly 100 years in the case of the latter one.

In recent history at least I can point to a lack of significant impactful Atlantic blocking upstream to slow storms down. For the better part of this timeframe we have been using the term “progressive flow “ way more than I would like to be. As to why models seem to depict this scenario only to lose it as we close the lead time... that would seemingly require some more discussion. I think models struggle particularly in progressive flows and transitionary pattern periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think models struggle particularly in progressive flows and transitionary pattern periods. Also, if memory serves aren't the very long duration storms closer to spring time? Maybe NAO blocks are more common at that time? I just remembered that March 1956 was another example of a very long duration storm (during a La Nina too.) March 2001 if it would have happened in our area would have been another great example. As it turned out we still got a moderate to heavy snowfall (Suffolk County) on the second day of the event.
