SlantStickers Anonymous Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 First storm of the season so the plow drivers will be out in force and ready to make some OT money before the holidays. They will have little traffic to contend with in the wee hours of the morning. The main roads will be fine tomorrow....pavement. Amazes me that people still stock up on food, gas etc for a run of the mill storm that is going to last around 12 hours. It borders on embarrassing.... Lol I've never understood rushing to the store getting survival supplies for something that happens dozens of times a year. Grocery stores must love it.

MaineJayhawk Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 When is that from? Meaning, is that the most up to date forecast? If so, a few of us are sitting right outside that 14-18" zone that goes from Portland south along the coast. PortlandSouth.png That is the latest update.

Guvna Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 With DP's still running below 0 from here on N there is a lot of dry air to overcome. Hours of virga for many. Sun is shining here....albeit dim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROOSTA Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 The rollercoaster ride of as the model spews. At this juncture I suggest (as I must) walk-away from the computer. Come back in 6 hours quickly glance at the most recent run, sit back, relax and enjoy whatever goes down. In the overall picture there is not a blasted thing anyone can do except learn. I've already vested more time in this than I'd admit to. My FB followers, mostly family I went on record for a general 12" snowfall. I will not back-down, once that enter key is pushed I no longer own it. I know many can relate. The lesson is always start conservative. I have yet to learn. I'm out to go purchase a suit. The Army-Navy game should be a sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbutts Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Bow has never been forecast for 14" from this event. You've been near the cut off in ranges (10") so you've been waffling on either side of it with forecast updates. I told people 8-12" yesterday based on ~.7qpf now looking at a bit over 1" I think the over looks pretty good compared to the under. I use KCON since it's just a couple miles away and I don't have much of an elevation advantage over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbieL241 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 If BOX's map verifies in its current state then excellent job of making a forecast on their part. Everyone else seems to be drinking the Kool-aid of the short range guidance. I made my 4-8 call for BDL two days ago and that still seems to be the best forecast for the area going forward.

MJHUB Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 forget the snow for a sec... this cold is dam impressive for this time of the year, not even out of the teens on the coastal plain in december at noon. very impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 SW CT might be a mini jackpt within CT. Tools was sort of shown. Sometimes these arctic highs cause a mini frontogenesis area that doesn't push north until the final WAA push moves in. Not surprised really. This band also may help srn mass and RI with snow totals.
