jculligan Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Crazy variability across the models in terms of this weekend's event. I've been thinking the Euro is over-amped, and it appears to be trending closer to the GFS/Canadian solution on the 06z run. Regardless of any model solution at the moment, I have a feeling many of us will have a net gain in snowcover by the time the event is over on Sunday (if nothing else, based on climo alone) - but it may be a bumpy/messy way of getting there for some. The 06z GFS/NAM pretty much suggest a miss, but I think the answer likely lies somewhere between that and the over-aggressive Euro solution. Still a lot of time to watch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not looked at models since yesterday. Then it looked like the Euro was way west with another cutter. Now we could be too far west according to the GFS. Trend is east. This is why I don't invest too much time dissect each model run days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere between a trace and tenth? yes it was a nice surprise to see white out there this morning. we picked up the same, less than 1/2 inch definitely, but enough that the ground and cars are covered. I drove about 30 seconds down the hill and there was no snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see any sort accumulation around here this morning aside from what appeared to be some leftover frozen drops from yesterday’s precipitation. We’ve got some flakes around now though, so the atmosphere is definitely back into a snow profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 The snow line was about 4 or 5 miles to the west of me. Snow on the ground most of the way to Rutland after that. Nothing at our place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 34.5F Light snow vis 2-3 miles Nice Euro run. This is how NNE gets it done. 975mb low coming north 2-3 feet for most. Lock it in! (of course just like yesterday's Euro cutter track this will probably not happen as shown but we know there will be a storm and someone will jack in New England) nice to have something to track. Here is Kuchera clown map. Subtract 1" or so from today's nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jculligan Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 This morning's Euro run has me thinking about historical extreme snowfalls in my area. Not sure if others have used https://xmacis.rcc-acic.org before, but this is my go-to website for climo stuff. It has hundreds of sites throughout the area, but it can be difficult to find some that have lengthy and/or continuous periods of record. In any event, I was able to find an observation spot in North Conway that dates back to 1974. Unfortunately, this is about 1000' lower than my location but these are the top 10 snowfalls in the valley since the mid '70s: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will need to see about Randolph’s top 24 hour total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I think the late February 2010 storm put up some ridiculous number in Randolph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jculligan Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 December 2003 comes to mind as a storm that may have pummeled this area. That storm delivered 52" to Pinkham Notch, which is less than 10 miles from here as the crow flies. Of course that was a storm that featured insane mesoscale banding, so there were likely some pretty extreme spatial differences that could have cut totals here in half.

There were several... I think the mid-Dec 2003 one gave the Jay Peak coop at 2,000ft like 42” in 24 hours. Plattsburgh, NY had 36”. That was a crazy meso-scale band. Edit: Now that I think about it that band might have been too far north for Pinkham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was an undergrad at Plymouth State that month, and I think we got 10" and 12" from both events before it all washed away in a Grinch storm before Christmas.

Yeah now thinking about it that would’ve been too far north for Pinkham. I’m thinking of like Dec 13-16 in that range I think. City of Plattsburgh, NY had 36”, BTV only like 20” as the band sat from like SLK to Jay Peak to far NNH. If I’m remembering it right that might have been the storm an observer in SLK area had like 17” in 5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
