lol the NAM has a ridiculous amount of New England snow. Saw on another forum there's a tiny area of 60"

Ridiculous numbers aside, it could definitely be interpreted as a signal for an anomalous weather event for New England.  Could this be a redux of the E/E (ETA/Euro) rule?

Does it ever. 

[Wmsptwx]

Lol sorry jamie not sure what you mean? If you are referring to Miller Bs, yeah they are definitely proceed with caution events. Good to keep expectations fairly low on these deals. New England could just get plain crazy.

Yes, that is 36 straight hours of snow. 4.92" of precip resulting in 52.4" of snow with a max rate of greater than 4"/hour!

Holy ****    :snowing:   Wow!!!!

[Wmsptwx]

Lol Im renting a van lets go....whose in?

[NortheastPAWx]

Sure Wmsptwx...if I actually had a car and money to trek to SNE. Man, seriously, I'm so sick of living in interior PA. First chance I get I'm gone.

[Eskimo Joe]

Yes, that's very true, excellent point. 

 

Did you see this? It was posted on the NE forum:

 

 

 

             

That is absolutely embarrassing to the science of meteorology; it is a ratings scheme and nothing more.  In the event the forecast would change, this individual and his associated station would be mocked by an increasingly skeptic public.  I'm rather vexed about this.  

 

EDIT:  Yes, there is a potential for a major snowstorm, so the prudent course of action would be to say something to the order of, "significant snowfall well in excess of a foot has been advertised by some guidance, but we don't want to give exact numbers just yet.  For now begin making preparations for your home and business."

Per the NE thread: GFS has 70 mph + gusts for Boston with over 2 feet of snow. Insane.

I don't think that aired, it looks to be a picture from behind-the-scenes with just the output on a monitor.

It's still on the Internet with his face, and station logo.  That's bad enough.

[Wmsptwx]

Im working on moving too psu, hopefully up to New England...they get great wind from storms also. I have a grand cherokee and could get out 500 lets do this hahaha.

Agree completely.

The weather weenies are creeping into these offices and that is "not" a good thing.

[canderson]

Ensembles say nada for LNS/MDT/SEG.

 

Edited because I can't think properly.

[paweather]

EURO out already???? I thought it was after 1pm until it runs for those that can pay to see it? last night EURO was decent for us.

 

Euro says nada for LNS/MDT/SEG.

[Yorkpa25]

Didn't think euro was out yet. And who cares this isn't our storm and never was.come on spring

[Wmsptwx]

Yea awful early...but hard to be upset this is at best barely advisory stuff.

[canderson]

My apologies, meant ensembles. Fingers ahead of brain.

 

I'm indifferent on this storm, sure I'd love a few inches but I am hoping it slows a bit so I can get home in time to watch live coverage from Boston/RI/NH.

[Wmsptwx]

Lol canderson was prematurely right on Euro....looking like nothing back in these parts. Time to punt..next.

[NortheastPAWx]

The detour sig is back! I was just going to ask about that.

 

Mind if I add it to mine as well, north pgh?

[Wmsptwx]

lol love the detour sig.

[2001kx]

The detour sig is back! I was just going to ask about that.

 

Mind if I add it to mine as well, north pgh?

I made that a few years ago...if you want to use it help yourself

Looking at the text output through Friday 7 pm we have about .23, you have .39 but the surface is above freezing some of it before a crash at the end.
