It's like a 90s Puff Daddy video.

Getting close to its annual average with one storm is impressive.

The NBM includes just about everything. In the extended it's primarily the ensembles members and then starts to bring in meso models in higher weights as you get inside 36 hours. There is dynamic weighting based on recent model performance (which is great when the pattern is stable, not so great when big changes occur). And some NBM fields are bias corrected on a grid by grid basis. Overall it's pretty good, but there are blind spots that humans can still improve on.

Re. the Central Park ob and possibility of officially getting to 20+, hopefully OKX has an agreement with the CPK Conservancy folks who do the measuring to take a measurement once the snow fully comes to a stop. The 6 hour board clearing rule doesn't apply when the accumulating snow ends. For FAA contract observer sites, if the arrangement is the same there as it is out here, we call them for the final measurement when confident there's no more accumulation on the way.

It stalled just short at Central Park. Official records have it at 38.6".

Winter s.w.e. is so bad at a lot of sites. Pure junk.

14" or so here. Not bad but pales in comparison to the numbers out east... wow.

Should be a snowdrift scale for Extreme Winter Events...LOL Who's complaining now?

Yeah…they reported 32.8” at 1pm. The ASOS ob had a depth gain of 32” at that time. So their official is running a little over the depth change. So it’s probably 35-36” right now.

Fisheye view of the snow

When the GFS slipped east, we should have known

Hopefully the la nina is dead. That should help us next winter

Yep, better gust today than any time yesterday...

what 52:1 isn't realistic? Snow was fluffy, c'mon.

Here in the Merrimack Valley it has been a good storm but not great....

Of course not, man! I'm more than content with my 4". But ChatGPT might be a little bit mad.

Thanks appreciate the link!

I've been looking back at a lot of high wind blizzards...2015..2022 etc and noticed 30-70:1 ratios at the climate sites based on those liquid totals. Shame because its obviously wrong. Skews the overall climate data

By far. I enjoyed the first storm quite a bit more than yesterday. This one is already kinda sloppy looking. Still cool to look at when it's happening but the lifespan is much shorter come late Feb heading into March... 36F/cloudy

It would really be a shame if they don't get 3' on the event. Actually--if that's on the ground, is there an eventtotal for them I figure there must be some compacting of today's snow in there.

I don't know all the models that go into the NBM, but given the projections from the GFS, Euro, and other standard models which appear to have missed the mark by a substantial amount, perhaps we should start looking at some of these other models, especially for storms like this.
