NECT Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Wow. Forecasts for 20" plus around here - weenies flying everywhere - I'd be happy with half of what's being forecasted,..but hoping for even more. Looks like somebody will get a nice jackpot anyway.

ORH_wxman Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 SREFs don't bring the storm as far north (21Z) and keep it colder per mean. More and more I'm convinced I don't see anything but varying forms of snow. Yeah I've skeptical of any mixing issues at BOS for the whole time...I mean, I guess I could see logan right on the water having brief issues for just a couple hours at the height of it, but even there I doubt it. Where you are should be golden. Probably worst case scenario is you creep up to a wet snow at 31-33F for a few hours before it crashes back.

nutmegfriar Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I dont think they are focusing that far west given their viewer audience. If they were really trying to forecast for out there, I'm sure they'd have you in the heavier stuff. Then why bother posting amounts to the west? I'd give them more credit it they had drawn in some bunny ears over Waterbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 If you see a green 4-door wrangler come rolling through Powhattan, flag me down. I'm planning on joy-riding monday morning.

NECT Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Going to my parents tomorrow is going to freaking ruin my fun of hanging out in the storm at home. Bah Humbug Christmas. I will come back to 18inches of snow, and what was plowed into my driveway from the road, and not be able to get up my driveway. I grew up in Brooklyn, and remember a lot of p-type issues when storms get really wound up. Doesn't look likely for this one though. How long is the drive to the 'rents?

nutmegfriar Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Yeah I would have just kept it blank personally if I didn't want to forecast there...but its not my map. I hear you. The RI stations tend to be very provincial, which is understandable given the size of their immediate market and the behomoths to the northeast.

Southshorewx Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Read BOX's discussion and only spoke of rain issues on the Cape and Islands, should I be safe from any p-type issues? I wish I could be all snow but I also know where I am that if winds are strong enough to bring in warmth I sometimes mix. I think we will mix all the way up to maybe Hingham. From NECN it looks like we mix in the middle of the storm and then flip back. Not the biggest deal when you see 8+ with mixing issues. Gonna be a great storm to watch. Then again NECN has changed the time frame of the strom three times in the last four hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were really trying to forecast for out there, I'm sure they'd have you in the heavier stuff. I know, it's just misleading to people who live in that forecast area who may have relatives in Western NE who may say "youre only gettin 4-8" to relatives when they're really going to get over a foot. I would personally just put "Out of Forecast Area" on that part of the map if you're just going to neglect that area" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a simplistic map sufficiently dummed down for their viewing audience to be sure but really does a disservice to the public.

dan11295 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Do you think people will be flooding the stores tomorrow or is that a thing of the past? In this case you have to remember that no stores were open today and if people don't get out tomorrow early there are looking at Tuesday possibly (maybe late Monday if it gets out of here fast enough). So I am sure anyone low on food will be rushing out to get stuff in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I feel your pain. I'm in Newport. BOX is calling for 8-14 down here but I'm not buying it. I've seen this movie play out way too many times, including December 2003. The ABC affiliate in PVD is calling for 3-6 down here and this is more reasonable. At the outset I'll stay snow a little longer than you, but on the back end when it turns colder following the dryslot you'll get some accumulating snow but I'll be too far west to get much in the way of serious additional accumulation. Hopefully the track sinks southward a little bit. This relentless NW track has been agonizing. PD II in 2003 did a good job keeping the cold air locked in for extreme Southeast Coastal areas. Maybe this one will too. But keep in mind most of the posters on this site will be getting hammered while we're one of the only ones in the NE quadrant of the country getting dumped on with heavy rain with temperatures rising into the upper 30s. Any of the pros care to give a forecast for the extreme South Coast from Newport on east? We're outnumbered in this thread because there are so few of us. My mom, brother, and uncle are in Jamestown... I think 4-8" there Wind will be the issue for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
