Ginx snewx Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 so whats this little SW the Nam conjured up for tomorrow bringing measurable to the Berks and my favorite little ski area?

Baroclinic Zone Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 What "it" are you referring to besides midweek? Just midweek. Not even looking at next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfishsnowman Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Calling people who are professionals in the field wishcasters is bad form, many Mets here had snow on Wed in their forecasts, how were they wishcasting when models showed it? my perception of wishcasting is wishing for the weather one wants.....you make it sound slanderous lol. the posters who suggested this period might very well be cold and dry are among what i consider the most weather smart on the board...i am starting to feel like one has to be walking on egg shells around here.

I don't recall anybody saying cold and dry. I recall most saying last night's event and Wednesday are not set in stone and the pattern wasn't favorable for a larger storm. Some were calling for NW trends and banking on examples from previous storms to justify that...but to call for complete cold and dry is as bad as wishing for a storm.

It was the interaction with that s/w and the southern stream s/w that gave SNE it's measurable snow on Wednesday on the models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Tuesday in the Berks hills upslope was always there?must have missed it There were several runs of the GFS (and even a couple of the Euro) last week that tried to focus energy on this shortwave...remember when we sometimes said "the GFS is now giving snow on Tuesday versus Monday...models will probably have trouble resolving the multiple vortmaxima in the flow"....that's what is on the NAM for Tuesday. One of those vortmaxes. Won't do much of anything for most of us outside of some snow showers/flurries....but the mountains may get a few squalls.

powderfreak Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Not a bad period for ski enthusiasts in the Berks, Greens Yeah should get some light snows...I like that map's 0.1-0.5" QPF range, lol. Big difference between 0.11" and 0.49". I've got 2-4" over a 2.5 day period in the forecast. Persistent flurry type stuff averaging 0.5" every 12 hours.

8611Blizz Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Kind of weird how we get suppresion in late February when we should be worried about the rain snow line. Does seem as if this winter has been really close to going top five around Boston but just can't get it's act together. Still along the coast l give it a B.

Baroclinic Zone Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Midweek scraper on the 12z GFS. <.10" for everyone. Looks like NNE gets some love though with the northern s/w traversing the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'm sitting at 34" on the month, so it looks as though I'll have a legit shot at 3' on the month, thanks to Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Euro has mostly flurries except maybe south coast. Looks like there is some instability so I suppose a squall could come through. Thursday aftn as well...looks even more windexy. This is the time of year where you can get those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Well at least this puts away the notion that everything will trend NW. We had some events that did, but they won't always comply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOS: 19F in 1875 BDL: 18F in 1906 ORH: 18F in 1920 PVD: 21F in 1906 ORH is the most vulnerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me they are like record high lows during the summer... 80F lows are special... yeah, right I prefer record low lows, but I understand your point from a met viewpoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point about the summer example..lol. I just find them impressive in our so called "new climo regime." My guess is when the AMO goes negative (soon)..we may have less of our famous record high lows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
