  1. Thats reckless. The 06 GFS also looks similar to me. On the other hand, 06 CMC or NAM look horrifying, but it is mid range for NAM
  2. Something in me told me 18z was faulty despite my logical respect for it
  3. It might be impossible to produce snowfall expectation maps yet until we are within 36 hours. Some big jumps tonight in models, no unilateral consensus. It could be 1 inch here, or it could be 10.
  4. I am hoping 18z is just a bad batch of runs but Those were some serious jumps north, and the more likely outcome is said to be a Northerly Solution.
  5. How much more snow would Reno, NV get than the 20-40 inches per year the greater metro area normally receives... if you took a huge chain saw and shaved 1000 feet off the top of the Sierra crest for the length of the mountains? I wish there was a big and active forum here for specific western regions, but I guess there aren't enough people living out there to have the congregation of the New England forum I am a part of out here.
  6. Sure it does. I also wrote to some of the Mets at NWS Reno and asked how much more snow Reno would get, if you took a huge chainsaw and shaved the top 1000 feet off the crest of the Sierra Nevada.
  7. This is amazing to see a As a younger hobbyist I would not have thought that the topography of anyplace in New England was enough to cause significant rain shadowing for snow events. I thought you needed HIGH mountains for that effect. I think a good way for us to ensure that the valley gets its just desserts would be to gather all of you, go to that valley, and release 1.5 Million balloons into the air at once, shortly before the storm arrives, and use the event as a fundraiser for a significant upgrade for the GFS.
  8. Actually I wouldn’t mind that much. It would be interesting. But in all the years of my living I’ve never seen a “sleet fest” before. And I just changed my moms headlights from “Sylvania Basic 9005” to “Sylvania Silverstar 9005”.
  9. Meh I’m not impressed yet. It’s longer range for the NAM and I’ve seen it be wrong for this. Which is good for me I don’t want the NAM solution anyway.
  10. I’m not the one whose so far away when I feel the snake bite into my veins
  11. You’re going to make me engage in behavior that gets me “warning points”
  12. Now I'm gettin excited and its kind of too soon still.
  13. I tried to find the info for that event just a minute ago and spent 10 minutes poking around for data and was unsuccessful because there was so many different things to ask for. Comprehensive indeed.. I only remembered getting 4 or 5 inches for that event. But 6 is close enough. 20 years is enough to bend memories.
  14. I would like your wisdom and POSITIVE THOUGHTS to tell us what you think additional accums for the Kev/JC/Iowa/Ginxy zone will get to over the next couple weeks. Maybe with a little science too!
  15. Has Eastern New York State had climo problems with snowfall in the last decade, a decade where SNE has seen more good storms (The 2010s)? I know it's just my sensation, but I always feel like Albany is some netherworld no-man's land. It's not new england, but it is the same region. It's like an undiscovered bonus room. It's like where you would end up if you managed to jump over the flag at the end of a Super Mario Brother's level Someone will get mad that I posted this, but 00z NAM
  16. As long as this doesnt take a big hike north, maybe I can count on a good thump. 3-5 inches with sleet mixed in... A white concrete slab.
  17. Where can I go to find snowfall maps for all these historical events? With major winter storms I can often google image and I get a map on google. But a storm like "2/5/2014" is not among em. Same for other systems as well that I have wanted to look up, for example, the only significant snowstorm for Westerly RI during the 2001-2002 winter in which I was in high school.
