Ok, top 10.

It's probably a fairly easy experiment that you could do in less than a half hour. Just list them greatest to least and then compare them by some standards of pressure, wind, snow ...etc.

I tell you what - if it gets inside the top 10 I'll throw you bone and call it historic, but we could qualify it on a scale of approaching historic to outrightly so -

Perhaps, but certainly not pervasively historic, no... In fact, where I was, in Acton Massachusetts for that event (about 25 miles W of BOS), we had 7" total from that. A small area of the region over SE sections wound up under a frontogenic band that went nuts and so for them yes.

You received waaaay more than 7" from the Blizzard of 2005 John.

I like what Scott said about banding out this way. Wonder how these ratios will play out.

Like Messenger said, the early frames were a little disconcerting. I certianly liked how it finished! Time to see if we can see some similar to scenarios unfold with the rest of the suite.

At the risk of being a TOTAL WEENIE--can anyone text me the EC results? (207-798-0799)? I'll be here the for the GFS, but then I'lll be gone.

TIA to anyone who will!

THE eastslope usually gets crushed with this kind of in flow. Check out. The top analogs and what they left here in their wake.THUMPING.

Que?

okay, fine, the biggest event ever on the planet ....make that the solar system's 4.6 billion years of existence.

Sorry, the area has seen 975mb lows pass by on many occasions and they were not historic... that aside, 40kt sustain in BL at BOS on the FRH grid is only moderately impressive, so too is 2.00" melted - 20" is great but no where near the greatest(s).

Just trying to put some objectivity into lust.

Totally agree with Tip. Good old fashioned Nor'Easter but let's not get carried away by calling it historic.

Def looking to be an "away from the coast" type storm. You'll need to be 15 miles or more inland if you're hoping to get the truly historic amts. Signs this wants to linger into Tuesday morning as well..esp on the Euro last night

That's going to take a lot. The NAM is all done by noon on Monday. The Euro is over by mid afternoon Monday here.

Yea, the storm's a complete bust because there is no high wind warning... lol

Actually, in all seriousness I see no issue with going to a blizzard watch for all areas (save the Cape where mixing issues would change the complexion of the event), SE of about ASH -HFD (with a small exceptional hole punched out of the painting that will exclude the general Tollan CT area from any impact at all (80F and sunny)).

In that region 15-20+" of snow and winds gusting to 40mph inland and near 60 at times inside of I-95 to the coast will slam dunk the 3-hour's of 1/4 mile vis requirement.

That is a blend of the 00z Euro and the NAM's last 3 cycles.

Special acknowledgement should go to the NAM for being the first model inside of 72 hours to show any consistency, and locking this threat.

Depends where. Even on the GFS, I think I'm ok. Maybe flirt with dryslot, but not bad at all. Dryslot may be just se, as this low bombs and mid level lows reform.

John,

are you sure about the 7" total from 2005? I have the PNS right here and Acton MA is in Middlesex County and they got 20 to 30+ with the highest total being 36" in Melrose.. I have a friend who lives in Marlborough MA and he told me got around 28 inches.
