ORH_wxman Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 52 minutes ago, Damage In Tolland said: There’s 2 no fails for big snows in SNE. #1 Deep easterly inflow and Ginx posted it days ago #2 ULL south of LI. Whenever those two are both present there will be BIG totals and if one or the other is present there will be minimally a moderate snowfall. Remember that that that were making love to little snow model runs There's some truth to this....I rememeber talking in an exchange with dendrite a couple days ago about the obscene mid-level inflow. I was starting to worry about a firehose and that we might have some monster totals. We never totally got the Mar 2013 look (though for a time it started to look like that last night), but we didn't need to get it to have a big storm because this moved so slow and had a better wrap-around ML structure this morning than that storm. Never give up when you have a potent ULL going at that latitude underneath us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Heaviest snow of the event here in Dorchester. Can tell this is the final hurrah. Snow winds down in Boston around 3pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to live there (sturbridge) and recall getting low end totals sometimes similar to the Valley, but they got screwed this time I looked at the Public Info statement - that observation was from 12/1. Dumb they published a map with that in there - shoulda tossed it. Side note - I grew up in Sturbridge, weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I thought the principle features where handled fine by guidance. Like Will said, you had prolonged erly flow for hours and hours which is usually how we end up with prolific numbers. Throw in some fronto to help consolidate and lift the WAA coming in and poof. For a 3 day total, I can't say I am surprised by the numbers. I think biggest surprise was day 1 near Albany. Runner up last night down near CEF to Hubby...but that was shown on near term guidance. For me, the extent this came west last night was classic on guidance when look at H7 lift and RH. QPF as usual ranks last on models. They do better with the synoptic features. I was half expecting a more wall of moisture just east of me, but that never happened. It was sort of broad and spread out. Not as intense.

tunafish Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Ripping pretty good here in South Portland. Looks like the low stopped its westward movement so we should sit right under this band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Winds below 5000ft are NW so you'll have beam drift. IOW, that band will inch east, but also...radar will show it west of you when it's actually steady snow at your location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Storms like this are great. The snow lingers. It continue to pile up. It seems like it will just last all day. But then it stops. And when it does. It's sad. I wish it would snow forever. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be curious to see what if anything falls out of post-event review, because I'm pretty on board with the messaging was awkward with this one. Seems like we would have been better off if headlines didn't exist at all and we just told people what would happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 This is a 48hour storm for many. Pretty rare. Best I had was Jan 96 in philly which was about 31 inches in 36 hours. Second best was dec 08 in Webster nh with 31 over a 3 day period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
