OceanStWx Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Big red flag here from yesterday's GEFS run. Those U wind anomalies show more of a NE vs. E LLJ. Not a lot of momentum to throw precip up over the cold air when the flow is more NE in the mid levels. Just a few hours before this from LI and south, those anomalies were more due E.

ORH_wxman Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Snowing moderately here. Over 2 inches now. Nice to see even if the storm overall is disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah, yeah, I get it, it's a weenie snow image. But how is a model this bad at spitting out snow graphics like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Also the 21.12z EPS had probabilities of 3" or more for the PSM area at 10% or so. I had a hard time believing that would be correct, but turns out it was a very good forecast. The mean 6" line didn't quite cross LI Sound either. What's crazy is you would think with the poorer resolution of the EPS it would struggle with these gradients, but that wasn't the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to look when I get home but I think this takes over March 1993 as my snowiest March on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I have zero clue how that algorithm works, but it is probably a check to see if the temp is 34 or colder, and if yes it dumps 10:1 snow. The Euro more or less nailed the surface temps on the Cape (34ish). But that algorithm likely doesn't know how deep that warmer air was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand yes wintery appeal. The caution flags were everywhere for this one, not sure why everyone is super upset. Must have been looking through weenie goggles. This Winter is a B-. The March storms were fun, but the rain in January and February was a real downer, if this march snow happened in Jan, and Feb stayed cold with a few snow events it would have been an A.

Expand Yeah the maps are 10:1 all QPF. Doesn't seem too bad. TAN's over .4" for the storm. Should have 4-5" ifit were mid-winter when those 10:1 snow maps work better.

Looks like heavy banding trying to pinwheel into Bangor. DE ME will be New England jp, AWT. But that's not saying much given highest amounts are around 8" in parts of CT (I believe)....
