Knew that was going to happening because mofo was hauling ass...way too fast. Up to 6" here now Rte 27 is a dangerous windy road along the Carrabasset River, if that's where it was.

Again though only elevations . It’s got something to do with that. The HRRR and NAM 3k both nailed the amounts and elevations here and in that area . You literally could pick out the pixels over the higher spots . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It underplayed snow in the hills of NE CT, but did well otherwise....... @Ginx snewx That was the best clown map. Noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Chris at 425' has less slop and more paste in Nashua 2 hours ago, DomNH said: I’ll see what my parents ~300 ft on the Hollis border is like tomorrow. Might be a little nicer looking than the slop we have downtown. My guess is I have 6” of paste. Now that rates have lightened and the winds picking up, the driveway is turning to slop with the snow bombs falling off the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of the less bullish models undersold your area and just to the north and east. It was pretty clear from you up to will and Dave were going to be the winners, but for some reason, some models just weren’t seeing it. you flipped pretty early, I’m actually a bit surprised you only got 6”... I would have guessed you were good for double digits anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying that even the greatest minds like you thought several inches, but that map nailed it at 2". Yeah I was mostly commenting that the map got it right but prob not due to an exceptional skill there...it was wrong further southwest...even excluding elevated places like ORH (say, the 495 belt from maybe Berlin/Bolton down to Milford had solid advisory level snows 3-6” when the map was spitting out like an inch) But it was definitely far more accurate than the other clown maps which we knew would be too optimistic in this airmass. You're still going to defeat that map in the long run looking at soundings and analyzing the model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge piles already. I have about a quarter mile of driveway here. Our plow guy also a construction business. If the piles get too high and we can’t see traffic or they’re just getting big near the house, he’ll come with the bucket loader and push everything back. Maybe you’ll need something similar.

It was pretty clear from you up to will and Dave were going to be the winners, but for some reason, some models just weren’t seeing it. I’ve seen those Hi res models literally nail it to the hilltop the last few years. I don’t know if anyone except me remembers, but there was that crazy event 2 winters ago in March that dropped 8” here . It was a pseudo upslope event . People weren’t buying it, yet all the Mesos were popping 6-10”. They absolutely nailed it. The crazy part was .. the heavy snow band was actually falling 20 miles to our west. But the upper level winds deposited the snow from Union down to here. It was so localized. If you went 2 miles in any direction of that line you literally had nothing . If you looked at the radar that night, it looked like the river valley was getting crushed . They had nothing. It all fell in the NE hills. My point is.. when the mesos hone in run after run with these tiny pixels, they’re usually dead nuts on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have already been told that by the excavator guy who paved my driveway this fall. He can come and haul the snow away and had to do that here in the bigger retention winters.

tamarack Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 1 hour ago, powderfreak said: 3.5" for you... wow. That looked like a lock for 8"+ too. We definitely over-estimated the dynamic cooling and should certainly pay better attention to 2-M temps next time. Last night's 00z EURO had widespread >0C surface temps as of 8pm tonight but as a forum I don't think we really discussed that aspect. The idea was the dynamics would flip it easily to stackable snow. Wonder what your QPF is? 4.5" at 9 PM, a bit more than I'd thought, but only a bit. However, I discovered why the forecast busted - nothing but flakes noon on and LE (without the 0.10" RA at the start) was 1.19" for a lovely ratio of 3.8. Even a wet 8:1 would've put me up near that Will measured. I think maybe that the flakes were so moist when they landed that they played flexible Tetris and self-compacted throughout the storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
