18z GFS brings the Thursday Night quick hitter back north

I wonder if next winter's El Nino is going to be more like a La Nina.

I kinda doubt it. I think we are moving away from that pattern to the usual where you guys start doing well and we get consolation stuff. We'll see

SW flow aloft yes. It was N-NE flow at the surface. But in the knickers days they wouldn’t have really known the difference between a coastal and a strong overrunning event like 1/25 unless someone had access to a barometer and pressure readings in the region.

Its almost always about the timing... If it is snowing during bus travel time, the vast majority of the districts will cancel... Although tomorrow, there may be a move to long delays to allow for any scraping and treatment routines to have run their course; given the lightness of the event... at least that is what I am hearing???

Still-in a snowy winter you could rack up 10 snow days doing that. The only saving grace this year was that 3 of the storms were on weekends otherwise we'd already be at 7-8 days with a few weeks to go

Is your snowfall really well above average? Mine can’t be too much above and might even be right about at average.

I'm going to record six inches. Anything more than that I think is suspicious.

yeah it took several days. I've seen so many pictures from Taunton and 78. my father was active as a army reserve and was driving the front-end loading machines in Taunton, the drifts and banks were above the tires on that thing

The river is pretty wild. Weird jetty currents with ice flowing against the current. And massive jams on the shores of huge icebergs.

My expectation of flurries is generally based off my annoyance with winter at this current moment. Was forecasted for 15” and got 5”.

Bad news: only 4" Good news: it gave me seasonal (56.7 ots vs 56.5 seasonal avg) Sent from my SM-S166V using Tapatalk

I admittedly did not participate in the office run up to the storm, but from conversation I can say our post mortem caution flags should’ve been the dry air eating the northern edge versus the pretty simulated reflectivity and QPF maps presented, and falling for the NBM snow ratio trap. That second one shifted the heavy snow at least a row of counties north.

100% knew your area would clean up. You’re in one of the best spots in the state imo.

I'll take Dec-Jan snows over Feb-March any day. That's why 10-11 is still the modern day A+ champ to me.

Bernie Rayo said only a 15% chance of a storm next week. Those who know, know.

Well timing matters as much as snowfall, doesn’t it? If it were happening at 1am that’s very different from SN during the morning commute—especially with the number of clowns that drive past flashing red, tailgate buses, etc. Not saying it’s great, but I get it.

FYI i updated the first post on this topic with the latest interactive map, 48hr snowfall analysis and maps from the 3 local climo sites (OKX, BOX, ALY)

I believe in the GFS! Let's see it lead the way once again.

The question concerns whether Central Park measured when the snow stopped falling or measured at 7 pm when a possible small amount of snow had melted due to the temperature's rising above freezing for several hours. According to OKX's 2 pm PNS, Central Park reported 19.7" at 1 pm. There were several hours of additional measurable precipitation: Although the amount of additional snowfall (probably a few tenths of an inch to just over an inch was relatively small, it would be large in terms of storm ranking implications:

@Chicago Stormstarted the post-Thanksgiving thread, and it was a success. I think only he should start the one for the potential Sunday-Monday storm.

IMBY i'd need measurable snow to beat Sunday lmfao
