Whether a 10-1 ratio is correct is irrelevant to the point. When a snow map shows "total snowfall at 10:1", the primary model parameter in question is QPF, not accumulated snow. The secondary model parameter, which is often calculated by 3rd party algorithm, is ptype. If a model correctly predicts QPF and ptype, a snowfall map that multiplies liquid equivalent by 10 and displays it as total snowfall at 10:1 would be absolutely correct. It just might not be an accurate prediction. Some 3rd party maps do this task pretty well. StormVista does not. Not necessarily, not at all. First off, 10:1 is an arbitrary number which is essentially just a made up average. There is no true gauge of what the actual snowfall ratio is. If you get 1'' of QPF and lets say the model accurately predicts that and accurately predicts all snow and then spits out 10'' of snow. If you're snowgrowth and lift is crappy through the duration of the 1''...you're not getting 10'' of snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if a chart specifically defines the output as representing a 10:1 liquid to snow ratio, the model just needs to get the ptype and QPF correct. The snow map is just a visual representation of data... like a graph or plot. It's not a forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is what they consider snow vs other forms of precipitation including slop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm not sure on your highs of 28 to 38. At least in Southern New England, we're going to be in the '30s, but I didn't hear anything about twenties for highs ( Although that would get the ponds Frozen ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s been sleds already warming up in ct garages and little boners popping up in nyc squad cars …all over a tiny clipper potential.

We could easily go cold and dry to screaming cutter as the pattern relaxes. I think many in SNE may see their first "measurable snow" in the next 2 weeks but I'm not seeing any qpf rich snowfalls in that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol…there’s a lot of things that can’t be seen at 384 hrs…you should know this. Go back 16 days from now…was any of this seen? That would be NO. Sure it could flop..no guarantees ever in weather.
