Henry's Weather

Energy comes ashore mid-day Friday, so I'd assume we'd know pretty well whats going on by 0z Saturday.

im trying to understand... so the shortwave itself, in accordance to the m.o. of this year, kind of "maxes" itself in OHV, but this PNAP and this decaying NAO regime throws the remnants and some other s/ws, such as one that might dive down out of Manitoba or Ontario, all together in this 'Legrange space'? So basically its a stalled diarrhea vorticity mess potent enough to deliver a storm on its own, but the omega block allows for the collocation of this mess with a diving s/w, and who knows what happens? How I'm seeing what you're describing is that this is like the mid-December event, but with an enhanced western ridge and a stronger block, so basically, shoving all this vorticity together and hoping something sticks. Off base?

hold on, are we getting into potentially historic talk with this event? I don't have much experience tracking the huge ones, so I have no real point of comparison.

how is f5wx in general? I like that overlay map, seems useful.

you think this morphs into a more canonical synoptic setup as we approach?

who cares about thermals, look at that phase!!!

epicosity

Sadly, there's a reason Feb 2013 is at the bottom of the list. Pretty different synoptic setup.

I'd take both the first and last analogs in a heartbeat. I'm pretty young as an upcoming college freshman, and 2013 was my first taste of a legit, bonafide 2-footer. I vividly remember mumbly Menino giving a press conference relaying Gov. Patrick's travel ban. Epic storm.

And February 2013 DOES squeeze in at 15th, haha

Nice weenie line-up here, at least if you're WOR

yeah that was my memory as well. CIPS not biting on the Feb 2013 comparison but those analogs are dubious anyways

Would be interesting to compare the miller Bs which come from the southern stream and redevelop and those which come from the northern stream.

Nam has another inch or so with some mid-level magic.

Nice little event. I look forward to seeing the sunrise tomorrow through the laden trees

Let's get up to 3.5". critical sledding depth.

you get what you pay for. weathermodels is decent but strictly worse.

wow, im at only 2 or so

@ORH_wxman mind posting the latest radar?

An inch or so in Somerville.

although that low position would create strong easterly winds for sure - wrinkles in a strong scenario for now.

goofus thermals are toasty, seems unlikely

You can observe both snow depth and snow accumulation. Plow guys need snow accum. and you can do whatever you want with the depth. Both are sources of data, both are meteorologically useful. No need to pick and choose other than to be consistent with record keeping.

Yeah, just joking. I've definitely seen that happen.

Yeah, DC proper might only see 36" on grassy surfaces. Meager rates there.
