  1. I haven't really looked yet, aside from social media orgies.
  2. Who cares what OP runs have at that range. If this system couldn't cut, I have a hard time believing mid month storms would be able to pull it off. If you are snowing tonight, then I would expect some major snow moving forward.
  3. Final Call for Friday Night-Saturday Winter Storm No Major Changes The forecast philosophy from First Call issued early on Tuesday AM remains largely unchanged, as anticipated trends in guidance given the stated rationale have largely materialized. Synoptic Layout: A vigorous piece of energy is currently ejecting out of the southwestern quadrant of the region and beginning its journey northeast. The system is then forced to redevelop along the coast by the blocking pattern over the north atlantic. However, given that there is there is currently a significant WAR in place due to the fact that the MJO is currently in phase 7, the primary should make it far enough north to cause major precipitation type issues across the southern half of the region. Phase 7 of the MJO favors a strong WAR, which lends additional credence to the fact the GFS is in error in this respect. Favored Storm Evolution: Snowfall break out across southwestern New England early Friday evening. 10pm Friday And then quickly mix with and change to sleet by around midnight, as a warm south westerly push at about the 700mb level in the mid layers of the atmosphere infiltrates the area due to the fact that the parent mid level low will make it so far to the north into Ohio. 1AM Saturday Snow will then likely mix with and perhaps change to sleet to at leas the Mass pike by dawn on Saturday. 7AM Saturday With snow perhaps at least mixing with sleet at times later in the morning and towards mid day all the way to route 2 and perhaps the NH/VT borders, as the secondary low moves eastward and passes by to the south of Long Island. But accumulations will not be limited as greatly as they will to the south. 10AM Saturday: The low will pass close enough by to induce and easterly onshore flow near the coast. Thus a coastal front is likely to establish itself in the general vicinity of the 128/495 belt to the NW of Boston Saturday morning. This will separate a more marginal boundary layer due to an onshore flow, which will slow accumulations somewhat to the southeast, from slightly colder air inland where there is less marine influence. The mid level warm intrusion should cease by afternoon, as the mid level low redevelops near Boston This may cause precipitation to turn back to snow, however, additional accumulations should be limited since the mid level low does not appear as though it will redevelop fast enough or far enough to the south to impact the areas with the developing cold conveyor belt. This should remain to the north and east of the area. FINAL CALL: FIRST CALL: Issued Tuesday 2/28 at 545AM
  4. IDK why I didn't stick with positive depth change on Tuesday...would have nailed the 2" or less in ne MA. I mistakenly acknowledged the late n stream insert to a degree, which is a fraud 5 cousin of the inv trough/norlun. In order to expect that, you need to see like unanimous consensus like 12 hours out.
  5. I told him OP runs would pop...now watch, he'll make fun of people for discussing it. You can't win lol
  6. This new pattern should last most of March IMO
  7. You know damn well that even when a blizzard pops on the OP runs, which they will, you will weenie tag people for mentioning it lol. General pattern is NOT zzzz you are delusional. Could we get unlucky again...sure.
