I mean when they get blizzards in the Plains...they get blizzards. Portions of highways will be shut down and the videos are absolutely wild. Visibility is zero. These places make our snow look meh and they certainly make our severe weather look even more meh They get the blizzards but typically not the accumulations we get. I'll take the heavy accumulations. 1 minute ago, dryslot said: 18z Euro a tick or 2 north of 12z, Ramping up the qpf some as well this run.

RT 2 north with the classic SWFE area of southern Greens to Center Harbor to all of western Maine from Rangley to Tamarack to Dryslot. Don't care what the snow map says, Dryslot snows more than that shows. It's got the feel of a large area of 3-6", with 4-8" for the climo swath... sharp gradient on the south side but 1-4" with sleet then rain. The trick is finding out where the gradient is but the overall vibe seems to be of narrowing goal posts towards SWFE climo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at soundings, Something going on with the clown algorithm here, That was like 0.9"qpf and we were isotherm from the layers i could see., Looked like 6-8".

Yeah usually by the time you get into NH/ME in that set up it’s pretty universal snowfall… not a lot of variation. Very little mesoscale variation with a slug of warm air advection.

Maybe a narrow area gets more. Could see nrn ORH doing ok as sometimes erly flow cools 850 a bit over those hills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little mesoscale variation with a slug of warm air advection. It will be uniform on totals too, When you look at a PNS after these, All the areas are usually separated by a few tenths, Its generally S or S+ for a 6-9 hr period of 1-2"/hr rates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no severe, no canes, and ok some snow. Big deal compared to what these other places get. I know there is the one in 20 year cane and some nor’easters......but we have it easy when you think of it.

The 4 Seasons Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Coastal CA, like the bay area San Fran, LA or pretty much anywhere outside of the mountains has the most boring weather on the planet. It's like groundhog day all year round. If you're into weather or a met that lives there you probably want to poke your eyes out with knitting needle.

moneypitmike Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Meh for Westborough Saturday A chance of snow before 10am, then snow, possibly mixed with rain. High near 35. Calm wind becoming east around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. Saturday Night Rain and snow before 4am, then a chance of snow between 4am and 5am. Low around 30. Light and variable wind becoming north around 6 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 80%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While living in LA I experienced a tornado, numerous winter tstorms, torrential rain, 110+ heat, earthquakes, dense fog, hail, smoke from fires, and snow a 90 minute drive away. And always reliably great wx in summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
