Boston-winter08 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Here;s one it seems Matt Noyes @MattNoyesNECN4m 20 to 1 ratio of snow to water. RT @PeterK_J: at 7 am in Brighton we had 1.0 inch of snow and 0.05 inch of precip i can attest; we probably have 1.5-2 OTG in brighton and this stuff is pure powder if you look closely you can see each flake stacked on top of the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 A lot easier to do with < 2" of snow too. When any amount is blown out of the gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 think we have to be careful with the OES stuff...flow will bend NE/NNE/N relatively early in this event with the LP so far to the SE. it might be messenger special as opposed to typical south shore spots.

CT Rain Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 1.0" new / 0.08" liquid - 12.5:1 so far because of the relatively crappy snow growth. NAM is just hideous for this event... hopefully it's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston-winter08 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Long time lurker here. Thanks for all of the awesome insights and forecasts that everyone provides. What are the thoughts on the OES? Is it possible to set up like this throughout the event? Welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSnowman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I admit I'm a little bummed that I'm not in Newton or Boston anymore. Been movin around NE too much lately.Ahhhh no TRUST me. Cumberland / Smithfield are better than those. If you want to come see my Massive Excel Spreadsheet on all kinds of winter stats in SNE you'll see that. So I'm interested... Whats your personal thinking of why Cumberland, RI has been in the "jackpot zone" for most of the storms over the years? Its not on a plateau at all. Check out my map. The Blue Line represents the Rain / Snow Line in Many of the Battle Ground R/S Line Storms. All other lines you want to be East or South of, all describing different kinds of systems systems that occur best for SNE. The purple one is say a Comma Head pulling away in a Nor'Easter where CT is too far west for the action. As you can see, Northern RI is fantastic outside of any Nurlon or Firehose or OES situation (Red Line). I made that while thing to explain why Foxboro Is a tremendous place to be and why I am as well. Foxboro wins though. North Cumberland all won the Great Blizzard of 1978. 3/7 "never forget" you can see the town of Cumberland, RI contoured in there w/ the snowfall, it's crazy. Sorry OT.. Yes RI had the worst day possibly ever for many reasons But, I got just over 12" so couldn't complain. Well KIND OF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 New NAM .70 at mia casa We've all just got to watch the banding, today with the OES stuff and tonight with the storm/OE stuff. I think everything will be moving enough that we should all have our shots. Your "probably" far enough east too. That's a real good feed tonight.

Phil it's a tough call. I think the area just east of those normally favored...maybe on and just east of Rte 24 may be prime later. I could make up for it after midnight into/thru part of Friday.

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 To be fair to DT, I think some lucky spot will pull nearly 2'....within that oes circle of win that I outlined last night. His general area of 12-18" is absurd, though. I can undeerstand why he had the 17-22" swath as large as did becaus ehe's a national met, and doesn't know the nuance of sne climo like a lot of us do. I would have a general belt of 10-16" from Boston points s and e, and along the IMMEDIATE n shore....with a 17-22" blob representing my circle of win area. n and w of Boston, I'd go 8-12" INSIDE of rt 128, and 6-12" outside of it. On the cape, 8-12"...islands, 6-10". I'd also have a swath of 8-12" over the east slopes of the ORH hills and Berkshires, as well. My final thoughts around the area.

Yeah, part of the reason the 7h images have not looked great despite the output. All this stuff today is gravy for me. Can't wait till tonight. Should hammer good for 6-12hr.

met_fan Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Pretty sure most closed because they knew they'd most likely close Friday and didn't see point in heating up buildings for one day. Might as well close up and start strong on Monday.. Maybe... I think this, and that the thought of what's the point of coming in for one day in 16-17 stretch (Monday is a prof. dev. day with no kids in some places).

phil882 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Snow is definitely more impressive this morning than I thought it would be... all basically low level stuff. Yep and things should remain that way... because its so cold near the surface and aloft, basically the dendritic snow growth zone extends all the way to the ground. Even low topped echoes should be effective producers of dendrites which is a boon to snowfall totals. Combine that with OES and you have a recipe for an impressive snowstorm.

TheSnowman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Why is everyone confused at that map? I could name you 5 storms easy for each one of those lines. This storm includes both the Green line (definitely want to be east of it) and the Red line as well for OES and just to be close to the coast. I bet Will could name 100 Storms that fall under each line! What's so confusing? 12/9/05 would be a bit of the purple (intensifying but moving out comma head). Out to Sea storms that barely hit us would be the Orange line that you'd want to be of course South of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
