Feb 9: Iggles flying, weenies high-fivin’: the kickoff to a great stretch

[CoastalWx]

That Feb 2006 storm made me respect the dryslot. Kind of a nasty one where I was. 
 

Dryslots are the meteorological devil. I’d rather flip to rain then slot.

All models punch the dryslot through there toward 9z. It can be your friend too…it’s aiding in that enhanced forcing. There’s really good lift H7-H5.

Yeah I was wondering if that dry slot would also be helping with enhanced forcing...that's a beast of a dry punch. The 12z NAM 800-600 fronto from fsu looked yummy

It's like an hour behind current radar, do you think it's some kind of assimilation issue with something that they do with the off runs?

Again I don’t read too much into that. Maybe it’s a little behind reality, but I think 4pm won’t be far off from the gist of this.

That Feb 06 storm was a monster here…about two feet.

That was back before I understood what mid level deformation was....I remember I kept waiting for that CT band to comes east and it never did. Ended up with about 16"...

BOX bumped up their warning was 4-7

* WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Widespread total snow accumulations
  between 5 and 9 inches, highest amounts across northern
  Massachusetts, where there is a low probability (10-20% chance) of
  10-12" inches.

OKX slight bump too from 5-7 to 5-8

I love Stu Ostro as a meteorologist, but dude has never had a good hair day in his life-

Larry, her best bet imho is taking the train to NYC today and making the jfk flight tomorrow.  It’s more work but that is a better bet to make it to ATL tomorrow.

Thanks, Jerry. Unfortunately all Amtrak trains rest of today are booked. 1st train not available til 6:30AM tomorrow (S Station). I can suggest that but would she have trouble on roads getting to S Station via Uber, taxi, or whatever?

Depending on where she is staying, maybe she can take the T (red line) to south station.  If she’s staying in the back bay, she can get to Back Bay station on Dartmouth St.  either way, there probably will be an Uber available albeit slow while it’s likely still snowing.

Just a heads up, I just looked and there are tickets out of 128 available for 3 more trains today.

Update on cousin’s BOS to ATL JetBlue tomorrow 7AM flight: canceled;

-she’s now flying JetBlue out of BOS ~11:20 AM and gets to JFK ~12:40PM; then changes planes and would leave JFK ~2:35PM for ATL

 So, as long as delay in leaving BOS 11:20AM not more than, say, an hour, she’d make the JFK 2:35PM flight. She may not have checked bags. If not, maybe she’d have more than hour to spare. I assume she’d have better chance to make JFK to ATL flight if no checked bags.

 No telling if JFK will have delays leaving 2:35PM Sun.

 If she misses JFK flight, she’ll just forget going to ATL and stay in NYC, where her other home is.

 Opinions about this plan?

This is probably the best way. Those BOS-NYC “shuttle” flights are often delayed on perfect weather days. I would not expect that flight to take off at 1130 tomorrow due to all the backlog of everything. GL!

ha, we may have clicked on just about the same area lol...I saw that and was like, "woah". But damn...the NAM also wants to really drive in that drier here, if you forward that 3 hours...huge difference. I get the brunt of the snow falls before that happens but this could be critical when it comes to achieving the upper end of forecast ranges. 

But isn’t the storm basically over by 9z?

lots of hand wringing about a dry slot when most expectations are for 6” lol

Def most of the storm is certainly done by then. 

I think its just more of the fact of not losing sight of it. But yeah for most of us its getting slammed by the initial burst then a rapid decrease in intensity.

No one wants to miss out wringing another inch hence the hand wringing.
