8611Blizz Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 The trees have that wet base on them around here and now the lighter slightly drier stuff is sticking to them. Temps are still at 32 so hopefully that drops soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Looks like we're about to have a megaband form just barely north and west of BOS. Upper tilts suggest it. I'm fine with that. Winds are blowing out of the NNE anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them are going to be able to handle banding in the middle of a storm. I've played that game before and usually ends up being a waste of time. Satellite and radar are already here.

metagraphica Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Poor Kevin sucking fumes. Ginxy naked! Not too bad here IMBY - just to the west of the yellow returns in the eastern band. Almost 6" total so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaMike Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 There are three observations of 8+ inches of snow already. North Dighton, MA (8.2/9:38am), Acushnet, MA (8.0/9:45am), and Burrillville, RI (8.0/9:12am). It seems like most of interior SE MA and RI have snowfall accumulations between 4-8 inches atm.

I have no faith in any of the meso models to decide banding during or just before a storm. Good for a general idea. Really that's all. This storm has always been about where the bands decide to park their ass. I think one would get a much better idea from looking at radar than the HRRR at this point.

We frequently harp on only using it to see a general trend over several runs instead of individually. That would make its' value as a nowcasting model nearly zero. Yes, fair to look at. I just think there's a lot more value in nowcasting more traditionally right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that’s the 2nd band moving west out of RI. The first one dissipated. There’s no major band behind that 2nd one so it should stay together and make a better westward push.

It's useful for nowcasting in several scenarios, but I'm not sure banding nor'easters are one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
