Ugh..despise that storm, but I understand how good it was for VT.

Note even close to this storm...maybe evolution but that was progged to hit VT like last Feb blizzard in CT and it did...ie 6-hr QPF of like 1" and totals nearing 3" QPF across a lot of the state. This isn't anywhere close to that juicy anywhere...though I don't know what CIPS analogs measure.

2000 not 2007 is the analog

Wow, check out this excerpt  from BOX:

 

IN FACT CIPS ANALOGS LEND SUPPORT AS THE TOP 5 HAVE SUBSTANTIAL 12+

INCH SNOWS NORTH OF THE MASS PIKE ACROSS UPSTATE NY/VT/NH/ME WITH

POTENTIAL ICE IMPACTS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND /THE TOP ANALOG

PRESENTLY BEING THE VALENTINES DAY STORM OF 2000/

 

I assume that that typo should read "2007"....

I remember that bad Larry like it was yesterday.....the happy zones in n VT and upstate NY saw like 30"+.

 

I assume they are comparing the overall evolution, and efficient moisture transport northward, ....IOW, do't expect 30" :lol:...but damn.

 

Have to wonder whether the faster transfer is lending itself more to a pure Miller B type evolution, as opposed to a 6-10" swfe.

I'll hold off before biting off on any such implications, but damn.....that is a powerful AFD.

 

Ray, I think this is the weeniest post I've ever read from you  Just the mention of 30" in a post (even though you said you don't expect it) merits one.  :)

 

:weenie:

 

SWFE I will take latitude over elevation anytime.

 

This looks good for the Franklin Co crew.  All three of four of us.

 

LOL  We can't tolerate any northward movement, though.

Looks like the GFS is a tick colder here in SNE. Snow bomb even just south of the pike. Pretty much omega thump to dryslot.

 

 

Yeah I was surprised how cold the sounding was at 96h. It seems that the warm punch above 850mb has weakened some.

Still a long ways to go though.

Nice and thanks for keeping us up to date, appreciate it. On a personal note we have a huge animatronic bug exhibit crossing the country scheduled to be here Wed AM for delivery, big undertaking and logistics of unloading. weather is crucial and I appreciate all the input from all the pros and the non pros. (OT if you have kids they will love it when it opens)

Well, Mike I intimated that something must be up with that analog....I certainly don't expect over 1', anywhere.

VD 2000 makes much more sense.

Yeah, seeing 90% pops at this range is pretty interesting. At least we have a couple mild days for me to inflate the flat tire on my snowblower. You can't make a left turn if the right wheel won't turn. The one upside--one--to a meh winter in the snowfall department has been not having to worry about that.

I think I've used the snow blower twice, maybe 3 times.this season. Hopefully, I'll get more than a few inches this go 'round.and need to fire it up.

Was it the GFS that first showed this system? I remember having a brief back-and-forth with PF on this over

Perhaps I'll get enough to use th

:weenie:;)

i know its ot but why is it they get flat tires so often?? mine almost always has one and we really dont use it all that much here in dv lol
