About an inch now. Absolutely nuking. Vis rose from like 1/8 to a half mile or even 3/4 but easily back to 1/4 and dropping quick. Phenomenal snow growth.
Longitude obv plays a role too. New England is unique in that it sticks out into the Atlantic. So eastern areas have easier access to a large moisture source to their south and east. But latitude def matters too. But I’d agree in the monsters that longitude might be more important.
A lot of it latitude too. Most of E MA is well north of you and Wolfie’s area. Kevin in Tolland is basically the same latitude as Tblizz-Brett.
Some of the SW CT posters are even south of the cape’s latitude.
Gonna be a nowcast for that convective stuff. It’s been jumping a bit on short term guidance in both position and magnitude.
This could end up being one of those systems that looks great on radar but not that good in ground truth. Well find out soon enough.
Interesting phenomenon….how many western peeps would turn down 10” of snow on top of their current pack so they wouldn’t have to watch eastern folks get 30”?
Amazingly, the EPS still has quite a few members that are hitting us for the 16th. I am not buying it but it is not completely out of left field if that system tries to make a comeback…it’s still far enough out that it could.
Euro has been significantly blockier in the longer range than the GFS…which is producing wildly different sensible wx for us on those runs. GFS tries to torch us to 60F while euro has multiple winter wx threats.
