I'm just gonna check 12z EURO, then its models off, radar on and weenie out

Yup agreed….gotta just enjoy after the euro.

This thing has a fabulous look at H5 and H7. Let’s watch it unfold over the next 24-36 hrs.  Already snowing here so it feels and looks like the storm has started here already.

I just freaked out at the thought of a nasty dry slot..I never expect to jackpot.

What are we really thinking in terms of ratios?

Maybe I'm missing something but it looks like  ~.7" of QPF here and that map printing out like 20" of snow?   Maybe if all .7" were under a ripping deffy band ok, but if deffy is east .7 qpf might yield 7".

Are we starting to lose our collective composure?

We've been tracking this storm for 10 days. So we lost it about a week ago.

You’ve nailed this thing almost from the start, crazy impressive.

Where do you think does jack? South shore and the 495 area seem like the most mentioned spots.

The spread this late is incredible

This is for down here. I will post your area.

 

This is just the dual low structure showing up.

Just a guess....generally 12:1 outside of I95.

I'd actually be okay with 2' over 3' if it means you grab a foot...I don't need absolute jack, though its nice.

Thanks man. We appreciate that. I'll send you 3 dongs if I can get a dong and half....

At those amounts/rates you start dealing with the weight of snow upon itself too...even if you measure every 6/8/12hrs. Add in the wind and 25:1 in theory probably becomes half that.

NO DRY SLUTS... (typo) oops I mean NO DRYSLOT.
Rooting for a stall thus, higher jacks!

I should have a presentation ready around like 3 or 4....I have a group soon, so I will probably just wait on EURO, then write.

Thje DGZ is super deep on a lot of these soundings, so I'm guessing that is where those ratios are coming from. I'm skeptical of huge ratios....but they will be over 10 to 1.

Think 15-20:1 is doable up here? I usually have little wind in these events either.

I'm not sure if that map would factor wind in?

Do you have the qpf map?

Power outage expectations.

Anyone, please help me out. We've got our annual BOD meeting up in Waterville Estates Sunday at 11AM. Not expecting much up there. Maybe 6" and a little wind. But 75% of the owners are 2nd home owners, most of which primary residences are within the Blizzard Warning area. My thoughts are that it would be prudent to postpone the meeting due to power outages. With the high winds forecast through Sunday AM at least, I believe power companies may not even be allowed to work on the lines. 

Any thoughts form the experts about anticipated power outages appreciated.

 

I should mention the meeting will be available via Zoom, but I'm concerned they will not have prepared to log in.

I'm guessing it did the exact same thing as the rgem.

Tend to agree because I'm hoping/thinking deformation comes west of (some) progs, but if not there's a pretty good chance we baking powder as we did in 2015.

Nice trend for Columbia, CT.

Just started snowing here in Columbia. By the way when you said you looked closer at the NAM and saw  12 to 18 max I assume you didn't take ratios into play or look at the 3K.

Pins and needles, crushed dendrites will settle like an avalanche. Expect the 18-24" amounts (hate to say it) could be cut to half.
I think this is my first detrimental post ever.

Yes on ratios, and I was alluding to 12k.

[TheSnowman]

I wrote up early.  When does the Euro start?  Right now I'll get ready and pack as IF I'm leaving.  But this Duel Low is scary.   

 

REMEMBER:  I will have to drive-in from Buffalo from 10:30PMish to 5:30/6AM
