Seems to be about 9-10 Hours straight verbatim.

I saw that also. It goes from 1000MB to 996MB and stays there for a while it moves in a east/ northeast trajectory

I was trying to warn you of that potential earlier.

Eastern Mass, Boston Area classic Crush Job.

Oh, I know. Just basing it on the present day.

For that you deserve 100 dollars!

Yes, that's the classic gradient for the I 95 corridor for the Mid-Atlantic areas. For us here, it could be little different.

I don't really remember the drifts from that storm at least not IMBY. I remember the 12-13" straight from the storm in our hood maybe drifts in my yard reached 2-3' in the corner of the fence but that's all I can recall at this time.

Yes. I would go probably as high as 15:1 but that's the ceiling for what I think with that cold air column.

Absolutely! I haven't seen drifts like that since the Blizzard of January 2005 here in my neck of the woods.

That map actually makes sense at this stage of the game.

I agree with this.

My facts don't care about your feelings.

Just stating facts my man.

The way it was measured, sure. The COOP method gives you a few inches less.

Not bad. Not bad at all. Can't wait for the final map later. Good job.

I actually do have a weather question. Can the confluence to the north be equally as strong with a retreating High Pressure system just like an approaching High Pressure system? Just curious, I may be actually have an idea what the answer is but not 100% sure.

My mistake. It's all good.

Why wouldn't they? It's true. Set -up is different. Take a look at the KU book if you don't believe the set-up.

The Presidents Day Storm of 1979 isn't that great of an analog given that the High Pressure position and it was stronger 1040MB and pretty much over Northern New York State building into New England. The High we will have would be situated over Southeast Canada and weaker at this time.

Exactly!

A little Surprised their starting to do that when models can change over night. Not to mention the GFS knowing its drier bias.

Yeah, the Weather Department doesn't like that method of measuring, as you can see it in the final ground count that they put on for the public. They usually go, as I alluded to many times, with the COOP Data and first order stations. This is where it's usually done every 12 or 24 hours which it allows it to settle a little more. Especially fluffy snow which tends to sublimate rather quickly after the now truly stops falling. They do put our reports in as long as they are within reason to the surrounding reports / observation area.

It's possible 18" may have fallen, don't remember exactly but I'll just go with at least 17" and call it a day. As you indicated, Very sharp cut off to the north.
