Good steady snow here now

Still heavy here…what a nice over performance. Great winter.

We had 3 hour delay just updated to closing, good thing roads are bad and no salt to put down, went back to sand in our town

2.5”

About .8 as I just left the house so I should get to 1".

Solid...just passing seasonal average with hopefully a decent amount to go.

Beer

3k had it

Bringing this over from another spot so it has more visibility. Wanted to shed a little light on something interesting about this last storm. As for obs, currently 40/25°

M'eh, by then it won't be cold enough to snow, but cold enough to not enjoy spring.

looks like just a hair over 2", and they now have called off school, so yet another day off for my son, but this is about done, once flakes stop I'll measure, at least I don't have to avg this time.

Coming down out here at a decent rate for now.

No, I drove the kid. I used to teach. Now I help make and sell beer. I’m sure school andmins here are rethinking not having a delay today.

I'll be shocked if they measure anything after 7:00 am today. They're now at 43.2 for the season, with all of the snow they leave unmeasured or compressed between their 6 hour measurements they would probably be approaching 50 this year. They haven't had a 50 inch season since the back to back 50 inch plus seasons of 2013/14 and 2014/15, would be nice to make it this year.

This is ridiculous lol

NAM had 0 QPF at Logan on at least one run yesterday. NAM is NAM is NAM but just sayn'

Yes, both true, absolutely....trust me, I know all too well after seeing 30" turn into 10".

S- est vis 1/2 mi 17F

That map isn’t quite final. Still has BOS at 16.9

We did some reanalysis of the GFSv16 (Current model iteration) and GFSv17 (Newer GFS that will replace the current version) and found the current GFS actually did a phenomenal job at SLP placement for majority of its runs and absolutely smoked the CMC and ECMWF overall. However, it did have a 48 hr window where the SLP depiction was about 50-75 miles too far west and that caused a lot of QPF negative feedback on the western periphery of the main field. It handled a lot of other areas correctly and outperformed the EC and CMC still on QPF as those models were way too light on QPF. Overall, it was a great job by the GFS, but as is always the case, the result is usually a blend of models and not just one individual deterministic. The NBM QPF was skewed by some overly zealous members, mainly some CAMs that will actually not be there for the next version of the NBM (NBM5.0). We are working with MDL (Model Diagnostics Lab) to generate these analyses to improve upon what we have and go forward. Overall forecast ended up being amazing for the high impacted areas and average at best for those on the edges. With a storm like this, every mile can make a big difference in appreciable impacts.

snowing now in Kittery!

Not before we get 10-15

Another overperforming S flow clipper down there.

Would love 3-4”, but we’ll see. Solid 1.5” so far

I know usefulness at this point may be questioned, but here's the 24hr snowfall off 6z runs of Eps and Gefs.
