the thought of march 2023 and the feb/march 2010 storms makes me want to jump off the Tobin :lol: 

still in disbelief how poorly that march 2023 storm turned out here 

About 15" of mashed potatoes on Winter Hill.....26" in Holden 5 miles away and not even higher elevation.

Never had a blizzard warning along the gulf of Mexico, but it only takes one day to get one in the gulf of America.

Crazy gradient, don't see that often 

I knew I was cooked that night when the R/S line was on the other side of 190/290 and not budging

I think that's when most of the difference happened....it stayed snow on winter hill that night but it was like pure slush falling from the sky....had about 4-5" the next morning on prob like 5 to ratios, lol. I remember Holden/Princeton already having a foot-plus the next morning. Winter hill then went roughly neck and neck with them the rest of the day as the column cooled a little bit....so we ended up near 15" while they got another 10-12 as well and finished over 25".

I'm not even sure why Holden at similar (or even slightly lower elevation) was able to stay colder....maybe being just a smidge further west in longitude gave them a few tenths of upslope cooling in the column. Really crazy storm though to see that gradient where it was.

*just silently stares at that 41.6" in Brattleboro*...

in just ONE storm?!?!

I'm sure Brattleboro got about half that in the lower elevations. Closer to the 17.2. That number must be much higher up.

I had 5 inches in that one. The differentials with elevation were absolutely insane.
You could go from 30 inches to 15 inches in a half mile up in places like Colrain and Heath.  The difference was basically going from anything over 800’ elevation to anything under 600’ elevation. Wild stuff.

Too far east here, only 6".  4.5" came 5:30-7 PM, a little taste of what was happening in southern VT/NH.

No chance for that clipper to head out south of LI like it had been modeled?

Not impossible ...  At the moment, not likely.  Just not impossible.

Right now the GFS is straight down the Pike.  There's even a hint at a narrow Miller B thing there - which is probably the model being too sensitive.  

The Euro's more nucleated with the low while also slightly N with the track.  

That's as is...but, want to point out that this is a pure N/stream "little critter" ... sometimes they bite.   It's hard to know which one's will over-achieve, versus not.  Most don't.   But once in a blue moon ...heh    I remember back in ... 2003 I wanna say.  I was working a db job down on the 900 block of comm ave in Boston ( just up from Fenway district), on a cold day in February that was supposed to have some WINDEX in the area.  Unremarkable.  But by mid afternoon and 11" later in an emergency winter storm warning, that little critter had other intentions.   This incredibly heavy frontogen band just snowed 1/8 mi vis for 3 hours ...   I was living in Winchester, Ma at that time, which is about 10 mi N of Boston up 93 - when I got home that evening there was about 2.5"  So it was very localized. 

This is where the goods are as of this morning as per the GFS.   There's room there for this to be a biter just yet.

Holden always cashes in on those marginal set ups, used to have an office there, huge difference as I came down the hill and even worse at my house.

That 35 in the Monadnock area is close to what got. It pretty amazing. Our plow person gave up with the truck and just went with the front loader. Power was out for a couple days. When the schools could open, buses largely picked up in the center of town because they couldn’t get down the smaller roads.

18z GFS came south somewhat for Wed night clipper 

Some signs it wants to inject some srn stream moisture into this. That would help blossom the shield a bit instead of having this pencil neck of a low moving in with narrow moisture.

Isn’t that kind of what happened in that early Dec event? Even though it tracked north of us ? Almost like a pseudo secondary?
