The front is through there and they have westerly winds. There’s a little bit of precip leftover behind the low/mid level front so that’s why many are flipping back to ice and snow.

snowgeek Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Ended up with about 6" gain on the ground. 4" snow and then 1/2" of sleet and freezing rain and then about 2" snow. Had 2" on the ground so now we have about 8". Biggest storm of the year lol. Next time we'll shoot for 7"!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 30 and snow/sleet combo. Wire to wire frozen event. Roads are a mess and everything is encased in ice and pines are sagging. The valley wins. Please let me enjoy my moment as we always seem to lag in snowfall totals around here but at least we do well with CAD. 9 times out of 10 I'd still rather be at 1k. Nice event.

dendrite Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The whole argument yesterday morning was that he had the NAM sfc verifying with an interior low with no CAD and ORH and DAW warm sectoring with 3+ hours of moderate rain. As we debated with him he somewhat backtracked by the end of the day on DAW, but I think he still had ORH warm sectoring with hours of moderate rain. I thought he was spinning things a bit today so that’s when I started to nitpick. Anyway...it’s all in fun and we’re not keeping score, but he really seemed to be digging his heels in. We’re all wrong sometimes...I’m probably wrong more than I’m right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 1 minute ago, kdxken said: No you did, - " If ORH tickles above freezing it would be when the event is almost over...but they prob won't go above freezing. " I asked CTRain a serious question I wasn't bustin' chops. I apologize if it seemed that way. Ok, thanks...I thought I was going insane. Though I did technically "bust" since i said they "prob won't go above freezing" which has to count for the most likely scenario in my forecast. But did get correct the scenario in which they would if it happened....post-FROPA at the tail end of the event. I do think the general forecast of virtually all frozen precip for places like ORH was successful. As for the the whole sfc low debate vs the models, it is hard to pin down to the exact location since the low ended up quite elongated (which often happens in these)...but the 00z SPC mesoanalysis showed it from roughly SE CT through Gulf of Maine which kind of matches the "from near Ginxy to near Scooter" we were tracking in real time a couple hours ago. I would grade that as a failure for the NAM and any other model that showed the low over the interior higher terrain against a human forecaster who said it would track over southeast coastal plain areas....an idea which was the basis for the mostly frozen/freezing forecast for ORH and nearby points: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
