Kidding aside, I hope it’s no more than a rub and tug. 

It doesn't really matter if it was a happy ending rub n tug. If the women were being held against their will, it's human trafficking and it's bad whether he knew it or not

Good forecast, though I think the low level cold was a little more tenacious than implied.

Nice job, again. Looks like you verified everywhere with numbers except for MVY, which I don't think you were even really forecasting for the islands. Also, nailed the extra inch of your range for extreme NE Mass.

Heavy snow here. Going out with a bang before the changeover!

Yeah this is going to bust high, at least here on  the water as I was only expecting a a sloppy inch that wouldn't accumulate due to crappy rates. Over 1" here already. As others have said, it'll be a race to the changover

Maybe it won't bust as high as I thought in terms of the NWS. I was going off one local forecast I saw on TV. Didn't even look at NWS until now

Also as anticipated, KBOS futility race is officially done:

@NWSBoston
Snow totals at our climate sites as of midnight:
Providence -> 1.0"
Worcester -> 1.0"
Boston -> 0.8"
Hartford -> 0.7"

Yeah this is going to bust high, at least here on  the water as I was only expecting a a sloppy inch that wouldn't accumulate due to crappy rates. Over 1" here already. As others have said, it'll be a race to the changover

Karma. 1-2 inches total for the entire NYC metro area. I barely got 1.5” up here, less for NYC. Looks like I was right. :-) Pouring rain for the last 2 hours and lots of melt with the little that fell. I was just outside doing an Irish square dance in the rain, it’s a beautiful, wonderful thing

Upton verifies fine in all likelihood if the subsistent zone doesn’t come across.  The radar looked very good til that occurred and it’s hard to believe we don’t get 3-5 inches if that doesn’t happen  

This.....

On another note, this thing is going to overperform here on the water in Boston. 1" down with a heavy, filled-in radar back to the SW.

Euro says what storm lol as its out to sea

Go back to the Mid-Atlantic forum. Don't you have to go track those 6"-8" that LWX had out yesterday for DC instead of coming in here to comment on a D8 fantasy storm that of course is going to change run-to-run being that far out?

Still not as impressive as Maple Hollow.

Talk about diurnal range!!! Those ranges are incredible!

I was checking out flightradar24.com before and flights east to Europe are hauling. Some 750+ ground speeds.  Also, noticed most of the NYC Europe flights are flying out east well south of Long Island instead of their normal routes. I guess to take advantage of the insane tailwinds? 

Yes, in fact even the flights coming from the West Coast going to Europe were flying over PA and south of LI instead their normal route which basically goes up into Northern Central Canada and over the arctic. That's some detour to take advantage of the jetstreak. Numbers must have been like some pilots have ever seen

What? 1-3 inches is more than reasonable for tomorrow. 2 inch per hour rates? Stop, nothing supports that. Before you go criticizing Upton and Mt. Holly for their forecasts, you need to get your info straight. No one in the metro is getting 6 inches out of this and very likely not any more than 3 inches at the most. As to your other post, this is a completely, totally different setup and storm than November, like not even remotely close, besides the time of day

Thoughts on Upton's forecast map this morning now? They seem to be going a lot higher now than what you were saying yesterday. Looks like they got their info straight now. Thoughts?

My wife's a flight attendant and made it from PHX to BOS in 4hr the other night.

Very impressive. That's normally a 4.5-5 hour flight, if I'm not mistaken

Sounds like a dig on us weenies here.

It is because it gives them 3 inches while we get 3 feet.

That's a fair point...

Now we just need to see the next 3 or 4 model cycle runs on the globals to keep showing it at the very least. If it starts heading to pop up over Detroit or Bermuda by Thursday, then I give up lol

The pattern has been awful all winter.   That's a factor.  The EPS has also been awful.    Any other questions?

It's been a frustrating winter for the East Coast outside the mountains, I know it's annoying to keep seeing "good patterns" in the long-range but seeing a beast show up like that inside of D10 is one of the more encouraging things I've seen all winter, even if it is one run so far. Usually with the big coastal's we'll see them pop up on runs about now if they're going to happen. It's encouraging in many ways is all I'm trying to say.

If these threats in the next two weeks don't pan out though, I'd say it's time to move on to Spring. We'll see.

Another NNJ transplant!  Though we got here 44+ years earlier so I could attend U. Maine.  We came from northern Morris County in the well-forested Jersey Highlands, where snowfall ran about 40"/year (and 50-60 in the 1960s.)

Ahhh yes the Highlands. Beautiful area ans one of the best places there for storms as it's close enough to the coast for the moisture but not too far inland. I would only say that Northern Sussex and Passaic Counties (West Milford) are better for snow but only because of elevation. Sadly, I'm from Northeastern Bergen County so marginal events weren't my favorite. Averaged about 30-35/yr when I grew up there

I was watching my flight radar app last night as some of the planes flying to Europe or just headed east towards the East Coast were showing ground speeds in excess of 750mph. That's unheard. Conversely, flights headed west from Boston were at speeds of only 300-350mph at 38,000ft. That's one hell of a tail wind and head wind respectively 

When we flew from Tokyo to SFO (great circle route) in March 2016, the seatback tracker showed ground speeds up to 800 mph as we were passing closest to the Aleutians.  Heading west ten days earlier (CHI-HNL) ground speeds averaged 450 and were lower at times.

You must have flown with a super fast jet streak with that flight also.

Pilots were really taking advantge of the extreme jet stream last night as flights from the West Coast going to Europe were flying over Southern New England to catch the heavy tail winds instead of taking the Great Circle Route up through Central Canada like they usually do. Interesting stuff

Geez, totally missed how fast the jet is upstairs right now. Screaming along.

Can you guys take @BombsAway1288 back please?  Thanks

I responded to a comment by one of your posters with   "Yeah, less qpf and warmer if anything from yesterday. NWS is going to bust hard with that ridiculously overzealous map they started way too high with. Good rule of thumb, especially in these CAD/marginal temp situations is to start low and take em up the closer you get as need be. Not the other way around as the public now has the wrong idea in their heads. "   and I got attacked by everyone.

I even left a good luck message in the storm mode thread last night. I was just trying to remind everyone of the north trend/faster ML warmth in these storms this year because some people were going bonkers with the silly snow maps and LWX numbers.  You guys are brutal. I was rooting for DC to get 6" being the last 3 years have been crap down there but now I hope you get 1"-3" that just washes and melts away the next day anyway.

no, you weren’t. you are mad that you’re—once again—not getting a big storm so you slithered into our forum just to be a horse’s ass. that’s why you are getting flack, not because we don’t know our own climo.

 

I'm really not though. Yeah it's been a shitty year here but there's going to be ratters and regression. I got 4" yesterday so I'm happy as a big in sh*t for this year. My first post last night ended with a "good luck".  If anything, I was happy for your area/DC area for having a "good" year this year compared to us because the last 3 years have been crap in the Mid-Atlantic. That is until I got attacked.

Your last line kinda belies the whole "I'm just here to help guys!" act.   You know everyone here, including you, are snow bunnies.  We know the dangers and biases.  It's tough figuring out why you think you need to saunter down here to tell us something we know already?

TBH I didn't really know you guys were all over the under doing of the ML warmth. From what I was reading last night, everyone was posting these snowmaps and talking about 6-10" of thump before a changeover. As you can see in my post from last night, I was just reminding everyone about the ML warmth push which some people seemed to be poo pooing. Sorry I didn't have time to go back 8 pages to read and analyze every persons opinion.

Just now, wxtrix said:

well that sucks, huh?  I'm expecting 6-7" from this storm, maybe more. I'm looking forward to seeing heavy snow again.  all you have to look forward to is sad trolling.

Not trolling. Was just pointing out that the ML warmth has been underdone on the models this year up here and everyone got all offended. Yeah, this year has sucked here but I'd much rather be here for snow then where your sub-forum is. Climo

Just now, mappy said:

but she has more snow than you, so i think it evens out. 

When I said sucks to be you living in/from West Virginia I was talking about the fact that it sucks to be from there and not comparing seasonal snowfall totals.

I think DCA has more than Boston does this year.
