OceanStWx Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 6 hours ago, powderfreak said: Instead of "Heavy at Times" it should just be "Heavy all of the Time." On an aside, I've always wondered why most of the western forecasts use "Snow Showers" instead of just "Snow".... maybe @OceanStWx can shed some light on how the grids are populated out there verses the Midwest and East. Because it does not matter the accumulation, most of the mountain forecasts out west all use "Snow Showers" as the description. Today: Snow Showers. Four feet worth of Snow Showers. That's really a forecaster discretion kind of thing. I'm not aware of any policy that states all offices should use "showers" out there, but I know around here we generally try and focus on what will public perception be. Like if we're going to upslope and I have likely PoP, and there are always flakes in the air, the public is going to say it's snowing, not there are snow showers. So I'll change all wx at 55% PoP or greater to stratiform. It's possible the terrain out there is so unwieldly with the grids, that they do showers for ease. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense a little bit, but in what world would a forecaster term 18”+ snowfall in a period as “snow showers?” It happens a lot out there. I guess the question is why would you say snow showers at 2-4” accumulation and then use the same at 24-36” in a given period? What differentiates them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I think it's probably more of a grid based issue. Like the software can get really angry when you are trying to isolate individual grid boxes that don't connect in some way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Man. What a blocky and stormy month unfolding, especially 10th onward. Late month even goes weeniesh.

tamarack Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 13 hours ago, Damage In Tolland said: S CT near Bethany had a major .75 “ icestorm in Napril a few years ago I've seen 0.3" ice in early April - once, on Mile Hill 400' higher than my location - but 3/4" that late is amazing. The vast majority of Northeast ice storms I can recall were much earlier in the cold season: Nov 1921: mostly in New England Jan 8-9, 1953: The hilly country N and W from NYC (>1" ice at our NNJ home) Dec 11-12, 1970: NNJ, 3/4" ice Dec 17-18, 1973: Major damage W CT/MA Dec 13-14, 1983: 3/4-1" N. Maine Jan 8-9, 1998: 1.5-2.5" ice, terrible (also Jan 6-7 in PQ) Dec 11-12, 2008: 2" ice? Centered in ORH area Jan 1994? Maybe the 18th as that cold (in Gardiner, the light tower event) storm had a strong warm tongue - 5° at home, 40s with SE gales at RKD. I'm sure there are others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 The gfs ironically pulls in some pretty good low level cold in that second storm. Where the eff was that all winter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
