No that one likely may be a one timer in terms of impacts and what it did. It's up there with '78.
But I will say, that ( two weeks ago) was probably the harshest conditions I have seen for so many hours.
But it's not cheating if it effects millions of people in a big metro area. I don't agree with that. What could have been in terms of aerial coverage and what occurred I think are different things.
It starts off as a fronto band of snow behind the front and then as the low develops, morphs into more of a CCB. I actually mentioned this yesterday as a good solution that would be ideal, and the ICON does it lol.
Tblizz was looking at the first low that 6z NAM had, but that kind of is the reason we get porked. 12z NAM got rid of that, and yes the low is SE..but that was a change we needed.
Snow-storm...compared to '78,
Eastern mass wx blogged about it...and fizzled the next day
It's a 3SD of the R-N-A
It's a jog west on the euro, 50 miles too late.
Isn't ironic, don't you think?
Yeah that first s/w kind of induces the low and then that low scoots northeast. That nrn stream digs plenty enough, but lead s/w messes that up.
These things happen all the time, it’s just that with this winter.......it’s getting more scrutiny.
