You keep a better personal inventory of this shit when you actually forecast...no offense intended at all...I don't mean that in a disparaging way at all. No doubt, I feel like this is a storm where they may score though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH county above 600-700 feet will be pretty easy. They will snow and amounts will be mostly determined by QPF. Lower down though is a disaster to try and forecast and it’s even worse down in CT where you have to consider midlevel temps being what they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hi res stuff like rap and hrrr won’t give up on the intense thump here. I’m already down to 34.9 colder than guidance had too Baseball @zone nation, 1pm tomorrow...should be an interesting drive if anything with the elevation changes from here to there Hoping for a positive bust, but expecting mostly white rain here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that it’s not going to snow a ton every year, but winter should feel like winter. This shit is not winter. Get used to it.

wx2fish Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 14 minutes ago, 40/70 Benchmark said: I was conflicted.....the NARCAN maps are are so paltry....part of me wishes I had incorporated them and positive snow depth change more, but sometimes NARCAN is too conservative. But this is the type of marginal situation where they may just sniff the terd out. For you and me, Im most concerned with getting good forcing and enough qpf. Soundings are good enough if we get decent lift, but if were scrapping out like 0.3" qpf over 12 hours like the 18z euro, it's not gonna cut it. I'm not far off your thoughts though around here, been thinking 3-6". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower down though is a disaster to try and forecast and it’s even worse down in CT where you have to consider midlevel temps being what they are. I think trying to draw a forecast map for CT is pretty much a worthless exercise in this setup... The elevation changes over short distance alone will kill you... add in the other factors, such as mid-level temp chaos and I think it is just not a viable way to convey the uncertainty... My course of action was to prepare a list of bullet points (15 of them) listing statements about how variable the conditions may be across the region from the shore to the Northwest Hills and discussing elevation factors, etc... I'm over 1,100 feet at my house, but about 3 miles away it is only 200 to 300 feet... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm right on the Litchfield Cty border sitting at about 1,140' but a few miles away it 200 to 300' of elevation...???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
