cpickett79 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I don't blame you... I just think there are going to be some surprises with this one..and if folks are sticking their weenies into every model run they won't see it. people thought I was crazy when I said 20-30 inches would happen in the snow bomb last week. That's fine. let's just wait and see yes you got me there. you were dead on. with that you should have said 40.

met_fan Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think it's just an exaggeration Paul. But places like Naugatuck are going to be going to school well into June as it is right now. Never mind the fact that they'll probably have several more snow days. Won't go into July, but you can lose spring break and even go on Saturdays...happened in some schools after the ice storm a few years ago. Unless the state gives a waiver, you have to have the students there 180 days (in MA anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJHUB Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 what is accuweather doing on their main page putting eastern MA, RI and parts of the maine coast in a 6-10 band? besides the obvious web traffic increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivers Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 so right now it looks like a 2-4 event here in connecticut ,except a deformation zone in western connecticut like every system this year and 10+ inches in north haven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Closing off at least at 850mb would be a big first step Yeah it would, although open waves at 700mb can produce nice bands too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 18z NAM looks great for a 2-4 incher. Should be nice to have a couple inches of fluff on top of the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJHUB Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Channel 4 weather at noon had the same thing. thats WCVB? i get the RI news channels not familiar with BOS channels, I was just on NWS Taunton's site and there isn't even a HWO out right now. somthings not right here.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Agreed kinda stupid though trends weaker so they pile on more snow. Snow hero mentality....everyone wants the big storm. If you forecast 10" and 3-5 is the likely outcome at 36-48 many forecasters will leave intact and hope for the miracle so they can say they were right all along.

Right now this is a straight to advisory event, its been a snowy season and its not like this is the first event...I'd be surprised if Taunton and Upton both don't just go straight to WWAs tomorrow afternoon as opposed to posting a watch in the AM and then making it an advisory later....there is no way watches are going up this afternoon...I'd be blown away.

HarveyLeonardFan Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 A general rule of thumb I follow as it relates to my climo is the less intense South Coast scrapers often trend farther south like the event two Saturdays ago snowing on the fish while the big monsters usually trend NW.

It was only 3-6 all day they went more bullish just thought it was odd to do that, they were safe with 3-6 sounds reasonable to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completly agree, its been a snowy winter already no need to up toals just to get more coverage in the media, you say 6-10 people think about closing work/ schools you say 3-6 people b**ch about the tough drive in to work.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 18z rgem runs a 992 just east of the cape. Reasonable hit, 10mm line runs from Boston to Newport and points se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Gfs ticked east and dryer. .25" line just touches the cape now, sub .25 everywhere else. Nogaps slightly more robust, probably along the gfs line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the s/w that makes up the bottom of the trough clears the Rockies we will get a better feel. But it's not looking too robust yet.....to most.

Cold Miser Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 . . . dusting to an inch region wide, w/ an inch closer to east Ma. areas. Funny how we go from crazy snow depths last night to this most likely being a non-event. Luckily I wasn't expecting much, and with the exception of the rain today and yesterday, the winter has been pretty good to me. For this reason, the firearm remains in the drawer.
