Ginx snewx Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 RGEM still likes to jackpot me to Kev and over to Ginxy. HRRR has heavy snow backing into eastern CT by midnight. 3" and plenty more to come. We snow.we do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduggs Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Snowing and 21* at BWI. How well was that modeled? A day or two ago it looked like the fire hose might set up a little further north, towards C and W SNE. I was really hoping for a thump to mix/drizzle scenario. It's been a while since we saw heavy snow out here in ENY. Fringed again it looks like. But these 3-8" events are fun, especially if they occur during daylight. Slightly above average pack up in the higher elevations. One big storm and we'll be buried. Hoping it happens before the spring melt, which is probably only a few weeks away.

eduggs Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Due to deep layer SW flow I think the western slopes up toward the crest could do relatively well with 4-6". A jackpot of 6-8" is possible in the Taconics and Rensselaer Plateau area. East slope gets shadowed somewhat this go around with 2-4". I recently moved to the Rensselaer Plateu. I had never even heard the term before a few months ago. I had always just called this area the Taconic Hills. We've already had several impressive upslope enhanced events this year. Picked up 4-10" a few times when ALB got a D-2" Often, the snow up here goes largely unreported. I'm hoping we can cash in on this southerly flow. This is the first time since I've been here that we've had strong gusts from the south. Dimed to death lately. I'd love to see a period of heavy snow for a change.

moneypitmike Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'm not saying I'm right--but the depiction of the temps in the 30's* on this map is where I'm visually extrapolating the northern edge of heavy precipation as seen from regional radar pointi From their south gets hit good with qpf. It drops off significantly as you head north. Watch that temp-line. Hopefully for folks closer to 84, that moves towards them--they can then let evap cooling help the stay as snow.

N. OF PIKE Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 IF I was MPM , I probably would have jumped off the French King Bridge 2 snow storms ago. That area has been getting royally screwed in comparison to E SNE setting record after record, if there is a situ where MPM is allowed to b**ch, this recent pattern is it. I don't care if he is average, it's about perspective. Boston just got more snow in 3 weeks then like all but there TOP 3 FULL winters, while MPM sniffed light snow flurries. Ditto anyone living in Far Western or SW CT or West of Berkshire Spine, just a bridge jumper of a last 3 weeks, given what unfolded just to your east.

CoastalWx Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 HRRR tries to ramp things up with the LLJ later this evening. We'll have to watch where this sets up, because I am a little unsure how much QPF makes it north of that. This first batch of light snow may weaken some as we await better forcing to arrive later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But someone will always be snowier than someone else. When I got depressed this winter, I would head to the NYC forums. You can feel like a well-adjusted therapist if you compare yourselves to them.

Sounds Like a bearish call on QPF for N of PIKE folks Will, Please let the queens know where the .5 inch line is on Euro. Perhaps DXR-TOLLAND-BOS/GHG?

Here we go....I actually started worrying about this last night, as the inexorable march south on guidance continued, and I read Scooter and Will meusing about how the best snows would be just north of the southwesterly LLJ.....I started thinking "hmmm, what if it never makes it here...I'd almost rather flip to rain for a bit".

Rest assured... The Euro actually came in a bit stronger with the LLJ and north with the 0C 850mb line and also thicknesses were a bit more packed as well. So actually that would bode well for more precipitation to fall than what the model is showing. You know how the euro usually is on the low side with qpf in SWFEs.
