But where is the cold coming from? I don’t doubt the precip even here. There’s no cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only solace we can take is there’s zero warmth or spring in sight , and we’ll get our day back next week Not yet... Verbatim 18z NAM does not have it snowing in BOS until later 8-9pm tonight... I think the 0z-4z timeframe can produce. My 4-8" call for Boston will probably fail, but at this point I just want to avoid the shutout. I'll be happy with even a dynamic flash and inch covering, and guidance supports that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be happy with even a dynamic flash and inch covering, and guidance supports that. It's fair to go 1-4" at BOS for now. Can see it on the radar, and modeling supports it.

ORH_wxman Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 CC on dual pol has opened up over NE MA now...maybe we can try and dynamically cool now with latent melting going on upwind. Gonna need to happen quickly for decent accums though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Those returns in the GOM should enhance that precip over the SE areas of MA, RI, E CT and the cape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Despite some good winds this morning, this is going to end up pretty pedestrian out here. No snow, no heavy rain and only .7" total liquid. Not sure but I am assuming most models will bust on QPF here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 16 minutes ago, The 4 Seasons said: I called this days ago, this would be a non-event for CT snow wise, and was laughed at. There still will be some 6-12" amounts in the NW hills but less than 1% lives there. I'm thinking this may be too high with totals but sticking with it, can't wait to see what verification looks like for this storm. I think there was a lot of sound basis for arguments either way. I don't think anyone should be laughed at for making a call based on sound judgement. On the other hand, there's comments like this one without any sound basis: 5 minutes ago, ice1972 said: I posted this last Saturday about this event.......this storm sucks so bad.....just like this winter..... https://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/50900-february-is-upon-us-pattern-change-is-in-order/?do=findComment&comment=4835096 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Here's a wider view of secondary pulse of precip for E MA/RI and maybe E CT later...you can see it out in the gulf of maine. But again, the cooling needs to happen so that this can be used for accumulating snow and not white rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 The NAO just got its azz totally kicked by the Pacific. I pointed out using annotated charts earlier in the day ... that the larger scale planetary wave configuration did this system (and ultimately, colder enthusiasts) a big disservice. This system isn't stalling long enough. Also, I suspect that entire warmth of the domain prior to this thing's arrival, and not having enough of a 'fresh' cold air source, also was indirectly related to the SE ridge's influence ... The two together 86'ed this thing ... The SE ridge is a artifice of the Pacific residual butt-bang circulation over the last month, and it's influence is helping to squeeze/push/nudge this thing out despite the NAO. Also, just a thought - I haven't looked down stream (which is ironically "upstream" in this ordeal) ...but -NAOs will tend to import warm air from the NE given time. Yesterday's WPC surface analysis showed a a large warm front pushing into the Maritimes from the NE... I'm wondering if this circulation may have enrained warmth from that source. Probably not but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
