Hailstoned Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 20 minutes ago, met_fan said: The snow has been great here the last few hours and we’re going to go well over every forecast I saw for the Pioneer Valley...what happened that prevented the extreme shadowing that was showing up in every model and forecast? I'm guessing because the wind has had a more northerly component allowing for better snow dynamics than the long easterly subsistence fetch that had been forecasted.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Yeah, we are cooked here. Back to basically white rain. Should have followed my gut... this has the feel of a bust as soon as it started earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Just now, Baroclinic Zone said: This amounted to white rain. Rates were just never prolific enough to overcome low level mank. We had a period from 3-5pm where it was able to overcome that. Still snowing but not doing a thing. So all those killer returns on the radar are just 34 degree slop? I guess I'm not alone.

It was evident early this afternoon this was heading down the shitter here. We had like 2 hours of good snow as bob alluded to, and outside of that it’s been non accumulating white rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 This was really only going to be a 12-15 hrs storm, Some models were/are developing the secondary low that forms east of the cape and moves NE from there, But i'm not buying it.Carson still pumping 12-18"Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begrudgingly we gotta give the folks at the weather Channel some props for getting a better handle on this forecast than BOX or most broadcast outlets. That being said a thrilling storm. I'm sitting in a parking lot in north Kingstown, RI a few miles west of the Bay watching the snow pile up loving every minute of it. I don't think it was ball busting as much as you throwing in the towel pretty early on. Yes, the outcome eventually was a bust. But you admit yourself that three miles west of you the forecast is much closer to what was expected. Conditions could have easily changed where the snow piled up a little more east of the bay. It's not like North Kingstown is a bastion of high snowfall totals in the winter time like NW RI. The Weather Channel and Ch. 10 did end up with a better forecast for eastern parts of RI... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give me a few good hours and I can hit a foot. Been on the top edge of that for a while. Bursts of ripping snow with less intense rates in between.

Out here the issue hasn't been temps as much as lousy snow growth and subsidence. The evening was supposed to be the big prize with hours of +SN, but it wasn't to be.
