Yeah that is getting real weenie-ish past D10....before that happens though, might get a real threat D8.

Day 5 threat is probably gone unless there is a large scale shift. Day 7-8 is definitely still viable.

Tip got his wish vanquishing the hadley-geopotential gradient.

haha....it was poking fun at his penchant for posting maps more relevant to NYC than to New England in the New England subforum.

There's one more panel for SE New England at 144....I'm banning for life you the next time you forget.

It was definitely a weird storm....I was fairly bullish on widespread advisory until about 12z yesterday for reasons I had mentioned more than enough times in this thread, though maybe 00z the night before I started to have serious doubts. It obviously produced to our west and often, like you said, that can propagate eastward somewhat even when models are insisting defeat. So there was a chance we'd still get 2-4" or something. I managed 2" but I was a fairly isolated lucky spot. When you go back and examine the upper air, it becomes noticeable on the really late runs (like inside of 24h) that the inability to pop downstream ridging actually starts to turn the lakes trough from a negative tilt to a slightly positive tilt by the time the trough axis gets to about ALB-PHL longitude....and that's usually not a good thing. It disrupts the mid-level forcing. Previous runs had been trying to maintain a little more neutral. This speaks to the lack of "curl" in the H5 heights underneath or SE of New England.

More like didn't propagate eastward. I'll consider it a win to get 2 inches though considering some areas got barely a dusting.

Yeah the stuff in S NY and NE PA was supposed to cross SNE originally until the flow got all mucked up at the last second....but you can see how the midlevel goodies really produced back there hundreds of miles away from the surface coastal low out at sea.

About 2” total. Wintry appeal at least

Really ripping in this batch. Hoping to clear 2”. Nearly there. Busted event but still a nice snowy evening

Nice little blob incoming. Hopefully we can score another half inch or inch out of it. That would actually prob cover any remaining grass blades trying to poke up. We look for the small victories in crappy events....

ANother round moving through. This has been very good snow growth.

Almost an inch here eyeballing. Hopefully some more intense batches roll through. Most of that fell in under an hour

Flood light actually catches it a bit better

Ok this is legit in this little dark echo. Legit fatties and moderate it maybe even heavy snow. Too bad it doesn’t last. Pic doesn’t capture it well but still nice to see

Nice little batch moving in here. Good fatties.

Off and on light snow here. Have a coating so far. Plenty cold to stick with temp of 30F.

Bitching and whining has really become in style on here the past 3-5 years.

I dunno, was looking at 15z run on ewall. It’s prob wrong anyway...but can’t rule out advisory snow quite yet I don’t think I’m spots

Rap goes wild for SW CT later. Give them borderline warning snows. Its from the stuff out in PA developing...that’s what you’ll want to watch if there’s a surprise somewhere

But either way, it screws with the downstream height field. So you get less “curling” from the main shortwave our west.

Agreed. It was not showing up nearly as defined on those euro runs and some other guidance but the NAM was insisting on it. It’s tough though to trust that it’s real all the time because we’ve seen that garbage overplayed so many time on guidance. Even the Dec 16-17 storm had too much spurious convection out east that was causing some of those runs to pull the storm straight east off the Delmarva which ended up a lot different than reality.

What a bizarre system. I couldn’t even tell you why guidance fizzles it so fast from N PA/NY state into SNE. We’ll still have to watch if that stuff holds together better than guidance says and some peeps pick up at least maybe low end advisory.

Just saw it too. When the early 00z guidance came in I wasn’t feeling great. Some of those same mesos are looking a bit better now though....so still gotta think there may be a decent stripe of advisory snow? Vortmax track is pretty classic for it....it’s just we aren’t going to be able to sync up the conveyors so warning snowfall isn’t happening.
