TalcottWx Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I know they were 10.7 by midnight but judging from another 0.5 at least on my deck this morning they may have hit 11?Outstanding SWFE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 BOS at 45.8" (prelim since they could have picked up a few tenths pre-dawn) puts them over their annual average of 43.7" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Well modeled as well.Yes. I thought models all had too much precip and were overdoneLove busting in a good way Sleet did not seem to get here although it did at Wachusett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Very satisfied with this event...zero complaints. Heaviest swfe for me while on the boards.....7 years. Typical up here, In the 6-10" range, 8.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Finished better than I'd hoped while watching the tiny flakes trying to accumulate yesterday morning. After the 5:1 cornmeal start, the ratio averaged 18:1, and the 4" that came 2-5 PM might've melted out at 25:1 if I'd taken a core. Snow stake at 24" this morning, down an inch from 9 last night (only a dusting overnight) and tallest since the end of the April Fools' storm in 2011. The 8.4" total just ticked over GYX's 4-8" prediction (they raised it to 6-10" during the storm) but the 0.51" LE seemed right on the forecast.

snowgeek Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 10.4" at Albany airport. 10" on the ground at my house. Finished with 1.5" of super fluff last night which I believe was mostly Hudson Valley Mohawk Valley convergence. Nice storm, but very drawn out. Alb is at 47.5" which is 11" above normal.

N. OF PIKE Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Maybe down there. Euro was horrible up here. Didn't it only have one run that really burp'd high on qpf for cne ..or was it 0z (34hrs ago) run w over 1" qpf as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSnowman Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Picked up a Solid 0.25" again After I went to bed at 1:30am! Nickle and Dimed my way to 7.5". Below my 8 but Ray's 6" was WRONG! The models have nothing for us and he got a foot so before I get mad I'll look outside at this beauty and sled for 10 minutes Again before I have to leave. Got some Epic sledding in yesterday. Was Amazing. Got good video for you guys Plus the one where I'm PLAYING Accordion while Sledding. Jim Cantore favored it! 50" on the Season on the Nose.

N. OF PIKE Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I must say one MET that stood out to me on this "SWFE" was Ryan. Ryan nailed the higher snowfall potential for CT due to the (not only higher QPF that everyone hit on) but the fact warming would not get as far north in ct thanks to the primary dying in W PA as oppose to central NY state There may have been other met comments on this but i saw ryans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whineminster Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 On the way to Wachusett we saw a Westminster plow totally destroy a box. Epic thankfully it wasn't mine.

joey2002 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Tree farm on slater? Yup! As deep as deep can get. Nice shot. i drive by there quite often You ever run there? Slater/Buff Capp is a really nice area to jog in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Fell more inline with the GFS's qpf output up here I got sucker holed but as has been stated over and over QPF is generalized spread out over an area, neither did bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It over-did the precip in CNE on the northern flank of the heavy stuff even if you use the slightly less amped runs. Esp in NH...they kind of got sucker holed. Far S NH did fine. It's a good example of why we always caution people on hugging the QPF totals. Pretty early on we were discussing the more intense frontogenesis that seemed to be favoring the VT/NH/MA border areas. The SPC mesoanalysis shows this pretty clearly during the day (at 700 mb). It's also pretty natural to have subsidence on the cool side of this. Where parts of NH really got screwed was when the 850 fgen really took off over SNE. The 700 mb fgen was mainly due to lingering deformation from the opening wave at that level. So it shifted N rather than remaining relatively stationary. So they in essence got skipped. You can see how southern NH got hit hard, as well as the Whites into the foothills of ME by that 700 mb fgen/deformation band that remain fairly steady state through the afternoon and into the evening.

OceanStWx Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 By paying attention to those forcing features, you can more confidently ascertain where the heaviest QPF should be. It's rarely as uniform as guidance would otherwise suggest. The surprise was really that lingering deformation to the flow that aided in the band aligning with the 700 mb fgen right up the international border.

CoastalWx Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The models especially the Mesos did a great job hitting the WAA thump hard. Once we had successive runs consistently hit this hard, it was game on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
