The 4 Seasons Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 This ended up being a high ratio event that was still a "wet" snow that stuck to everything and you could easily make snowballs out of it...that doesn't happen too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I noticed that too. Was throwing snowballs for the dogs to chase. The new foster from Georgia never saw snow before and thought it was something you ate.

The 4 Seasons Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Here is the totals map for todays surprise snowstorm. I have no fx map for verification, for obvious reasons. If there was one, it still would have busted bad. Any corrections or comments let me know, i tried to get everyone here that quoted me. If i missed anyone, sorry, let me know please. Couple interesting things i noted here. This map is almost the exact reverse of the last storm we had, with the highest totals in the NW, lowest in the SE. The snow hole of Groton/New London did very well in this event, some of the highest totals were there. Massive gradients occured within some towns such as Newtown 0.7 to 2". North Haven 2.1 to 3.1" and Wallingford 2 to 4.5". A retrospective look at totals indicates WSWs could have been up for New London, Middlesex and Windham counties with WWA up for Tolland, New Haven, Southern Fairfield counties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't the case here. Most of the snow fell with temps in the mid to low 20's. When we went out to clear the driveway, there was 4-5" which was able to be push shoveled away it was so light. There was no way to make a snowball from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to get to Logan or would have shoveled myself. Here in Denver there are patches of snow otg despite temps well into the 60s. Apparently it snowed pretty good about 10 days ago.

I'm hoping some natural controls get established as the trees are now too tall for me to spray by myself and its getting expensive. I think the bigger ones are about 60 feet.

Keeps the front right over SNE and closes off a low on it. The 00z Euro and 12z NAM have nothing of the sort with the front well offshore and like 50% RH at 700mb overhead. Yeah this was the post I was alluding to this morning. The frustrating thing as others mentioned is that models don't do a good job of translating this into surface sensible weather. I went back and compared the H7 depiction of multiple NAM and GFS runs from Sunday and Monday... some have that H7 closed low over SE SNE, some have it farther east or none at all... and there is no correlation at all with storm total qpf. There is also no good depiction of the 2 separate bands going on overnight. So when we get multiple models (NAM, RGEM) within 12 hours depicting 0.0 qpf... we are inclined to dismiss synoptic features that would suggest otherwise. The other thing that threw me off last night... upper levels were very dry. Like H5-H8 had RH values 30-60% around 7pm. (remember TBlizz made a post about the close Temp/Dewpoint, and people replied that you need to look at upper levels / DGZ which was really dry)... so I was expecting those bone dry NAM/RGEM runs would be correct. In a time when computer automation is replacing human skill all over the place... and sometimes it feels like meteorology (on TV, NWS, and here) is reduced to model qpf meta-analysis... we get these examples (this season feels like it has had more than usual) reminding that computer models have a ways to go and human skill is still essential.

Great post.. but that wasn’t Tblizz last night I’ve made notations many times over the years.. when temps/ dews are close.. snow breaks out very quickly. Even if upper levels are dry . As long as there’s heavy enough echoes . There was a storm earlier this winter. Maybe Dec 12.?? When BOX and other mets were all worried about dry air at upper levels limiting accumulations. It started snowing almost immediately after echoes were overhead said area . Dews and temps were almost on top of each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 My first call was actually pretty good, but the final call sucked, and that is what is graded. http://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2018/01/verification-129-130.html I just missed that one, and it was a pretty bad forecast.
