HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I was most impressed with the blizzard's huge range of 25"+ coverage. Nearly all of SE NH out to 495 and over to ORH then over toward Garth /Ginxy then over to Bob and then Messenger and most of cape. Dramatic snow growth and qpf cutoff though with the blizzard. Nemo and this past Monday's storm were better for larger area and more people. Let's face it, it's an inside I-495 winter for MA. I saw indisputable evidence of that driving from Greenfield to Cambridge the past two weeks. The snow amounts once past Leominster/Fitchburg are astounding.

N. OF PIKE Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Yea, I wish we hadn't lost the coastal component of this. The thing that I am honestly confused about is how we lost the coastal component (which was the big wildcard) but totals didn't go down when in doubt I go with Harv's map, box and esp gyx IMO look inflated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 RPM is and remains garbage. I never put much stock into it. Either way, most of us bang. Winter rages on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfishsnowman Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 yeah it does! latest you ever stayed up? This storm has disaster written all over it for much of w mass and n ct, could easily be 4 to 6 with a net gain of a few inches..... those qpf cutbacks like have some merit. I'm not gonna ride gfs like I didn't ride the euro with the blizzard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I just have the feeling this one will wiggle around right until the end. Ehh, most of the snow starved south of you guys would beg for a wiggling snow band over 2+ days that could drop 20" where it favors. Good luck up there-NYC will have to settle with sleet and zones of ZR, maybe an inch or two of snow at the very end. What a discriminating winter thus far.

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Agreed. Still, assuming guidance has the right idea in continually showing our areas as the favored lands, I think we've got much less to 'worry' about than others. "Our"? You mean your I could see you getting 3', and me 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They smooth it out. The implications of losing the coastal are that there will be a much greater disparity between the few haves, and the far more plentiful have nots.

bristolri_wx Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 The 9:45 AFD from BOX still talks about a coastal low developing near the benchmark. Are they not seeing something that this forum is, or vice versa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 My only shot is if that 4km NAM that parked the cf over N Reading is right because that is primo for me. I need that low level convergence because otherwise I'm SOL. I'm not getting a pure oes band up here. Never happens...I'm too far nw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Every model has an increase in rates when the low emerges under us. That's the coastal. One euro run had it more robust but it hasn't changed other than to be more amorphous within a regime of decent lift wringing the moisture out. This event has been mind fukked to death by people. It's snowing out fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they not seeing something that this forum is, or vice versa? If Im not mistaken, the update portion of this afd was just the beginning; the part youre referring to was likely part of this afternoon's AFD before the latest runs.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Totals didn't go down because of that band....they put a board range of 1-2' because they aren' going to guess who gets 30", and who gets 3". They smooth it out. The implications of losing the coastal are that there will be a much greater disparity between the few haves, and the far more plentiful have nots. Correct and there is no good way to convey that to the doe-eyed masses. There is currently a huge dryslot triangle from Montpelier VT to Concord NH to Pittsfield MA and there goes some of the potential of whatever tonight's expected totals for those areas were which could be 20% of your 3 day forecast. Big bust potential but that's why meteorologist is not and enviable job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxsniss Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Would not be surprised to see Euro trend drier, obviously hoping not. 0z NAM cut back as well. Again, my impression is feature placement hasn't changed as much as overall qpf outside of northshore/Boston metro band. Not sure if that's a result of diminished coastal strength or what...
