I got a 6 month old so my red tag has been a low priority. At UML I did a quick research project on which storm type, A or B, gives Lowell the most snow. I went through the NESIS scores and determined top 5 obvious A & B storms. I don’t remember exact numbers, but I think it’s B by a couple inches on average.

snowman21 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Not too often do you see Blizzard Warnings for L.A. County. Accumulations up to 7 feet and 65 mph winds in the mountains. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit DC pretty good with thundersnow I remember. But it developed relatively slowly down south so it wasn’t maxing out down near DC. More like northern Mid-Atlantic into SE SNE.

But storms like Jan 2011 and Feb 2013 are great examples of crushing Bs there. Hybrids are probably the best, if I could pick. A’s like 2016 can leave this area fringed.

STILL N OF PIKE Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I still can’t get used to seeing thicknesses of 528 over SF down to about Santa Barbara late this week . This looks like the coldest thickness of the season so far for that area , snow levels look exceptionally low in central and S cal. Thankfully we are getting good help from polar vortex and wave lengths have shortened 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 2 A's were actually nicer than usual up here, totaling 15.3", garden-variety WSW events. Of course, sites to south and east within 40 miles had 25-30 with verified blizzard criteria in both events. More common for A's are whiffs or fringes - the Jan 1996 KU brought 4" at our (then) home in Gardiner, while PWM had 10.2" and there was less than 1" at the New Sharon co-op. (But we usually clean up on B's.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Nobody is real out paying attention because of 2/28, but there could be an inch or two of fluff for some on Saturday afternoon. That has been slowly trending just a bit juicier. It will be a very cold snow too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully we are getting good help from polar vortex and wave lengths have shortened Heh... The wave lengths - in the sense of Rosby loading/logistics around the hemisphere - have not shortened really... What's going on is more related to nuanced aspects in this particular pattern evolution/present era. I get why that idea is offered here, and it's not a bad one ha. It's just about 3 weeks too early, and is also a gradual thing - just sayn' I see winds absolutely roaring at mid levels around a -PNA nadir out west, up and over a S-SE isohypses wall, compressed S by a N/stream that is out of phase and more cold-like over the Canadien shield. We do not have shortened wave lengths out through D10 in these runs... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something perhaps bigger than a mere 'critter' in there... In fact, the 00z Euro puts almost as much emphasis on that as the 28th system. The 00z GFS, does not to put it nicely. While the GGEM made a big move/nod toward that Euro idea, with a high end Advisory short duration S+. Bottom line, it should be monitored. I warned of this yesterday, to be blunt. Not trying to promote self here, but as I said yesterday - and I am sure 'no one is/was paying attention' hahaha - I have seen this countless times over the decades of modeling life ...where the runs have everyone negotiating their eggs over a storm in a series, probably because at one time it was a big hog out there... But, some middle one ends up being the most important like a 6th seed winning the Stanley Cup. Not saying that is this time, but the phenomenon is applicable to this particular pattern type we are in... fast/progressive higher error/lower performance circumstance. In fact, it probably is applicable to all these damn things. Hell, maybe we could get all three. Yeah, let's do that! Also, the 06z GEFs was interesting for the 4th.
