Luckily we are two of the most chill people on the forum . I can enjoy a Boston blizzard as long as some folks take pics. -
That’s what seems the different from a huge snowstorm and historic levels.
-
Large area of eastern SNE with 1.5” or more QPF and 2.0”+ in SE Mass. Thats a blizzard.
-
Took a weird route but it got there eventually. This is a crushing.
-
There it is, it figured it out. Completely resets the low at hour 24.
-
It’s like it’s trying to avoid New England.
-
You may be able to, ha. That's what I was looking at... move that north by 50 miles and CT is smoked. As it is that run is 12-20" from like Dryslot to ORH to BDL down to SW CT. I'm assuming 1" of QPF would register 14" of snow or so.
-
Pretty similar. Good QPF in CT and eastern areas. 10:1 map before anyone loses their mind, no Kuchie Ku.
-
I mean the Narcan maps should still be great with 1-2” QPF, no? Eastern Mass still gets a bomb there if it’s worst case scenario.

Skimpflation. Experiences diminish and you pay the same money for them. Read through this and it’s 100% true. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2021/10/26/1048892388/meet-skimpflation-a-reason-inflation-is-worse-than-the-government-says-it-is

Man you touched a nerve there, that was wild lol.
-
Just over an inch of snow at all elevations at the mountain. Surprised to find the same amount at 1500ft as 3000ft+. Light flurries and radar shows a bit more moisture working in.
-
If it snows big, you will win every time. Congrats dude. Wish I could head to Woodstock.
-
It’s been a big NE hit since day 1, true.
-
Absolutely… this looks like a historic one. What a loop. Should be real fun to watch unfold.
-
This panel is absolutely bonkers. 967mb.
-
I was just thinking of that storm! "Nemo" I think it was called by TWC. That thing had that band of like 30-40+dbz in CT that included graupel and rimed convective stuff in 0.25"/hr bucket rates. Just monster lift.
-
That is absolutely nuts. What a crush job! Ha, that wall of 0.75"+ QPF in 6-hours. It'll be an absolute wall of choking precipitation.
-
The low is too far east when it hits the right latitude and not enough moisture in the low levels with the arctic air mass advecting in behind it. Some windy light snows maybe but right now not going to be anything worth noting. She just escaped too far east. Should be a great storm to watch unfold though for the eastern areas near the coast.
-
8-days and every single day is a high of 64-71F and a low of 46-50F. Seems like a challenge. "Hey Bob, want to do two clouds or one today on the icons?"
-
See I often thought the low level flow under those bands was NNW despite the band itself going ENE to WSW. I always like a mid-level band radar signature just to my immediate NW. Put me on the southeast boundary of the echoes from that wind in the lowest 5,000ft. We are really nitpicking now though .
-
Great insight! I know there has to be more happening… that ageostrophic turning likely makes a more pronounced sinking motion just beyond it too, no? I can imagine that happening in low level lift while a deeper level wave forms over top maybe. I always try to envision the air flow fluidly to explain maxes and mins and why they end up where they do. A side effect of living in orographic land.
-
See I think that’s more pure terrain downslope. Anyway, like @Damage In Tollandmentioned that March 2014 event is an extreme example of a standing wave inland beyond the coastal plain speed convergence and/or coastal front.
-
Yeah some of that as well (if you are seeing background sinking air and then adding a little oomph in the lowest levels, it can’t help, ha)..,but the delta in the terrain isn’t *that* much. I just picture this massive pile up of air onto land and strong rising motion, then beyond that you have a tendency to see persistent sinking air… which occasional banding and other lift can compensate but if you get stuck in a slow moving system with that standing wave, it could be hard to break out of it.
