Same theme (different setup though) in march 2013 with the surface low way east but the midlevels were throwing forcing wayyy west into SNE. I brought that same Morch firehose storm up on Saturday morning. They told me no similarities and different set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the year DC got like 3 or 4 huge storms and we sucked on cirrus that may have been the same exact winter I am thinking of.

It still gives a lot of people PTSD about a -NAO despite what happened the next winter with a strong -NAO....then 2013 and now this March. Ill say to wiz, confluence isn't a bad thing. It's only bad when it's so strong we get whiffed. But confluence helps with frontogenesis so you can wring out extra precip too...and on would-be rainers, it can force them underneath us for snow instead.

geo1 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Not sure what meso model it was maybe the nam 12 k yesterday had us at or over 30" ? I laughed . Whatever model it was was pretty good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all equaks out I honestly don't look at as getting screwed. I just think of how many things have to go right for *anyone* to get snow, and when I get some it makes me very happy. I grew up in Phoenix AZ so for me all snow is special. I'll take a 6-10er any day over the one-long-sunny-day I grew up in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSC97wxnut Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Back deck photo in Newtonville. 15" or so on the deck? Might be somewhat contaminated by trees. Picked up a lot more snow after the report at 2:35 report of 13.3" in Newton per NWS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This snow was the result of synoptic forcing and banding more seen in coastal lows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeathermanB Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 It must be nice to have all this snow up there in New England. I know the feeling, i dealt with all this snow back in 2010 while you guys were sucking on cirrus, but this winter i have been sucking on cirrus most of the time and an inch per hour rates for 1 hour and then nothing lately. I am content somewhat with the 12'' of seasonal total, because i at least got some snow. You guys are nailing it this winter, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Hills had a weather conference that winter. My friend and I went, and that's where I met scituatewx. Paul Kocin was there. We all went up to the observatory and my friend and I hung out with Kocin and watched the radar, and basically cried together. If there had been a bar in the observatory we would have been drunk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I remember attending the Blue Hill Observatory 125th anniversary with my son in late January, 2010 on a brutal cold day here. Paul Kocin and Dr. Louis Uccellini were following the big storm hitting the mid Atlantic while they were giving their lecture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Death band at the end and the small band right behind made this storm memorable. About 18” storm total. Roads are a total disaster here.. bottom inch is frozen solid and the plow aren’t getting it up. About as impressive as a March event as you’ll see here.

Baroclinic Zone Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 16-17" looks to be about it. Great storm. That early stuff was pure mashed potatoes. Dropped a foot with like 8:1 ratios. Late afternoon snow was a blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx2fish Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 23.5". Total depth is 27-32" in the shaded part of the yard but its already settling some. Hopefully pull off enough overnight to call it a 2'er when I get up for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 33 minutes ago, codfishsnowman said: there are still too many imperfections with today's forecasting, models were terrible back here right through midnight runs...business closed and schools closed, people had to scramble to make plans for kids, etc.....seems very wasteful to me GFS was actually pretty decent here. Terrible elsewhere. I think the banding setup just killed us and this was not just a function of elevation. If the storm track was a bit closer to the coast we would have gotten into the CCB but being between the western deform bands and the CCB combined with the valley and time of day was just a killer. We probably would have done better with the prior tracks that were a bit further offshore as well. Anyways Congratulations to Ray and all the big winners tonight. A historic night for some and one helluva storm. Can't say we haven't had our share of tracking to do here in this action packed March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rnaude241 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 We lost power for about 5 hours today. Other than that hiccup its been a memorable storm. The first 5 or 6 inches were slop but I managed to stay out of the really wet cement snow the rest of the storm. Snowblowing the driveway wasn't a problem.
