Boston-winter08 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 If the EURO tracks over the canal and still has such a cold solution, it makes you wonder what an adjustment in the track of 100 miles further SE could mean for SNE (NAM looks to track the low 100 miles SE of the cape) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpickett79 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I see a dangerous trap that I feel many are going to fall into on the heels of the NAM's huge mesoscale win in the HECS; that system underwent incredible bombogensis as a result of the polar air interacting with the ocean, which is a mesoscale phenomenon and directly in wheelhouse of the NAM....John did a great job foretelling that. This sytem, however is a far different animal and in sharp contrast to the HECS in that it represents the NAM's greatest deficiency...swfes. We have seen time and time again that the NAM will not drive the warm advestion far enough n in these, so I'd be careful that it doesn't over trend int he cold direction, before correcting itself to a degree at the last moment. agreed....but so long as the euro is on board for front end thump.....were chuck'en em.

That's why the thermal profile is not what you'd expect with a low track like that. It's important to not only note the track of the low, but also..the shape.

I'm not saying that there won't be a front end thump, just to be weary of weenie runs from the NAM and make sure that the GFS and EURO corroborate before whacking it to it.

LOL. yeah I'mm sure we'll see a few runs waver here and there. No need to lock anything in yet. It does look rather wintry for a good chunk of the interior..just away from the coast. Maybe it goes to 34 in your backyard, but I think it will be chilly overall. You may even pick up a decent amount of snow given your latitude.

I think the threat for icing ( greater than 1/4" accretion) is about equal to the threat of 4" + in interrior SNE, primarily in the usual areas ( Berkshires, ORH hills), then lesser concern for N CT, NW RI, and interrior MA W of 495 greater concern is for wintry mix vs. snow overall IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev will get 1-3...be dumbfounded when it sleets an hour earalier than predicted, then rejoice when he remains just under freeezing and congrats, Dendrite.

If you accomplish that...great win for your snow. As it is right now, I only sink half way down on my snow, thanks to the Tip blue tint snowbomb I had.

Net gain of 2-4 here You have nothing to worry about, since your snow is so deep. In fact, I'd keep building those snow mounds and see if your piles or MRG's will melt first. No way those disappear before late March at the earliest...unless we have an epic torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 GYX PM update paints a wintery picture. FOR NOW...THE BEST FORECAST GUESS IS THAT FOR THE 36 HOURS FROM TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THERE WILL BE A WIDESPREAD AREA OF 4 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW AND SLEET WITH GENERALLY LESS THAN 3 INCHES RIGHT ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. ICE ACCUMULATIONS OF ONE QUARTER TO ONE HALF INCH ARE MOST LIKELY ALONG THE COASTAL PLAIN AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST. THIS INCLUDES AREAS FROM CONCORD TO FRYEBURG TO LEWISTON AND AUGUSTA. HAVE OPTED NOT TO GO WITH A WINTER STORM WATCH WITH THIS FORECAST ISSUANCE DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN PRECIPITATION TYPE AND AMOUNTS. ALSO...DESPITE THE WIDE VARIETY OF NASTY PRECIPITATION TYPES EXPECTED...IT IS UNCLEAR THAT ACCUMULATIONS OF ANY ONE TYPE WILL REACH INDIVIDUAL WINTER STORM WARNING CRITERIA.

CT Rain Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Could be though it only got to 29 .2 for the high here..Solidly over 2 feet still OTG Yeah if you look at Staffordville they've been matching your obs very closely and have been steadily losing snow pack through some melting and sublimation. They had 32" right after the storm and have lost 10" of it. The decline is going to stop pretty soon though as we have a really solid pack left and it's going to have a much harder time disappearing especially with snow and ice on the way.

I could see you getting to 33 or 34 at the end of the day but no torch for sure. Litchfield county could get a nasty icing event after snow if the Euro is right.
