METAR KMVL 031015Z AUTO 00000KT 5SM -SN BR SCT003 OVC028 01/00 A3013 It is snowing nicely at the mountain. Bet 1500ft is white when I get there shortly. Hit a shower of rain to snow/sleet as I drove into BTV about 10 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 It is absolutely nuking silver dollars. Road has snow/slush above 1300ft. This is great. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( to the straw dude - ) The nose ( exit ) region of a 500 mb S/W is approaching from southern Ontario. This is causing some lower level convergence extending along/over the St L Seaway at the surface. Along and in front of this axis, west flow flow through lingering continental moisture supply ( delayed growth/soils ) but most likely also modest thete-e flux off Huron, Erie and Ontario probably factor. Topographic-forced accent as those west trajectories arrive then is combining with some scaled lift potential from the above mechanics, with a modest difluence with the approach of that jet etc.. So you get a bit of synergistic feed-back there... too, sure. There's meso-beta scaled baroclinic leaf passing into the region as illuminated by IR, with cooling/cold cloud tops - The whole of it has enough synoptic support ... I'd argue this is your first synoptic event of the season - however limited to just aesthetics it may be. I think it should be noted, frankly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it’s got good deep layer flow from the lakes and decent upper air support to generate lift outside of terrain… it’s one of the many combo light events we get all winter. The upper level cold pool definitely helping lower snow levels too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisrotary12 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 It's always a good time to remind ourselves that ensembles should be favored beyond day 5. Large swings in model guidance are still likely. Meanwhile...the GEFS & EPS have been rather consistent for the offshore Sunday system. Passing harmlessly out by Bermuda. GEFS slightly more consistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of this map...I'd think we would have better resolution than 25"? Kinda funny with the mini jack zone just across the NH border from Ray's hood... I actually am not sure about that weenie spot of 75" plus just north of me.....that would imply I am at least near 70", which I think is a bit high. I would extend the 75+ down to just N and W of ORH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large swings in model guidance are still likely. Meanwhile...the GEFS & EPS have been rather consistent for the offshore Sunday system. Passing harmlessly out by Bermuda. GEFS slightly more consistent. Yup ... My own muse: interestingly, the Euro scoring - it never was this 'iffy' ( for lack of better description) at D 4's. Last night's run as the sets that synoptic table along the SE coast and astride Atlantic, as the outlier already - My personal experience with the Euro over ... the last 20 years really ... is that it has two rather dependably timed, broadly painted amplitude strokes that it washed synoptic finishes - those being the relay from D5 to 6 ... then again, D 7 to 8. *Usually* on the short side of D 5's ... about 10 years ago, that model could not be beat. But it seems I have seen more occurrences in the recent .. 4 or 5 years of that guidance were D4 is come into question - based in no small part that its 'bust'/error frequency seems to have increased. It's still a very good model. I mean ...we are not taking it down from the top of the totem pole ( like this culture likes to meteorite impact fame at least excuse imagined ...and we judge the same way in here...) .. It'll be interesting this next run here in a little bit, to see if these other guidance sources start bumping that coastal closer to the coast. One thing we have to consider is that the governing mechanics for that would-be storm are coming off the Pacific along a rather flat trajectory - as is such, almost purely assimilated. Assimilation has come a long way and ...yeah, probably unlikely that it is the present reason for model-to-model variance. Still, that probability isn't 0. We have seen systems in the last 10 years be all but pancaked out to sea entirely, and then 48 hours out they came 'storming' back in the guidance, too - The only reason it matters is because there's this tide concern.

Also, prob shouldn't have that sub-50" zone in 495...that is totally fake. Prob a bad coop or two affecting that plot in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Also the sub-25 zone on the Cape is fake. The only place that may come close to not averaging 25" in SNE is near GON....but even there is suspect for 1991-2020 since that region had a really good run recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's all bogus north of BOS....those north shore towns should be over 50....unless maybe you are literally out in the ocean like the tip of Cape Ann or maybe some of those communities near Marblehead. The 75+ should also extend down to far NW CT in Litchfield county and you could prob put a 100-spot or two in the northern Berkshires on the crest there over 2000-2500 feet.

I think couple that with the fact that this weenie jackpot is most likely West Hampstead, they only have data back to 2004, so they've been pummeled in recent years and their normal isn't the full period that other sites are. In just under 20 years of records they have 4 100" seasons and another at 98". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorEastermass128 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Cape Ann is in the 50”+ zone? I’ve been here since 17-18 and we’ve yet to break 30” in one winter. We came close last year with 29.5”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I'd prob draw SNE to look more like this (I rushed this just now, so I didn't put in as many obsessive details as usual) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also no way you didn't break 30" in 2017-2018. The 1/4/18 and 3/13/18 events alone almost get you there....then add events like Xmas 2017, Feb 17-18, Mar 7-8 and then other random 2-4" type events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman21 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 They should use the PRISM model to generate the maps since it has resolution to 800m and a systematic method to determine normals in places with sparse observations or lack of history.

I believe they used that? Is that one from like Oregon State or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
