moneypitmike Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 We're getting it pretty good down here. I've been around an inch an hour since about 11:30...and I'm in the snow hole lol. Some places have reported 1.5-2" an hour. Nice. I just heard from my daughter who attends Virginia Tech. They got 10" this week, and she's back home in Severna Park, MD enjoying more snow now. I guess she's a snow magnet. Maybe I should fly her up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Wish I were the tbh. I need to thaw out. I'll heading to Orlando on Friday-Monday. Lock in a major GC storm next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolri_wx Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 HRRR Maps: seems reasonable. 3-6" west, 2-3" coastal plain. Freezing line does go north, but it doesn't look like anywhere gets much higher than 35º through 9AM on Sunday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Sure where we always thought it would be CC and the islandsWe'll see. It's not like 40F at BDL/PVD/BOS is a torch this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But compared to what we've had its summer. I'd still say 34/35 max, but like you said we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Because the LLJ strengthens as it gets up into SNE. It isn't just Worcester on east that sees snow. Look at WV. Stuff is exploding over the Tennessee and Ohio valleys right now under the strongest LLJ and that axis is directed at SNE (NOT ONLY E. SNE). Besides CT looks to see the most snow out of this not the Boston area. You might get more snow than forecast but the highest amounts don't look to shift over your house. Snow growth doesn't even look that good over in eastern areas with 0C line at 850mb being much closer to you guys than over on west. Also the best lift is from 850 to 750 and you guys warm above -4C. That is not ideal for snow growth. Areas further west like BDL have that region closer to -8C. Just my two cents. Hey man, no stress I never wrote (or even implied !) that BOS gets more than BDL. I'm not competing with you or anyone, the zero sum sentiment is silly especially in this particular setup. The upstream trends I pointed out are better for CT as well. Fact is upstream the best forcing over PA looks southeast of where it was progged, and warming looks overdone. Consistent with model trends at 12z. BOS may do better than initially progged, is all I'm saying. Not sure where you're from, but look back at my posts this morning, always thought northcentral CT may jack.

eduggs Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Radar setting up pretty nice for the greens. Burst of heavy snow running into the southern spine. It'll probably backbuild a bit. Could be 6-8 for the resorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathercoins Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Family in Baltimore County and City. Apparently the roads are a joke there. Took a friend three hours to go 7 miles on 695, and people are starting to abandon their cars and just walk. Yep, we handle snow better than they do.

We have friends that just spent 2 weeks in Tobago. I did some researching. I don't want developed but in this case friendly peaceful people and all you need for relaxation. Looks enticing. Snowing outside our windows now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be 6-8 for the resorts. That's the batch coming through here, too. Its coming down pretty hard, but flakes haven't been great for the most part. Hopefully that will backfill, as I think this will be the storm for here--at least as far as the RGEM was concerned. It really didn't add much to the NW after the early round.

CoastalWx Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I think I would be more worried about a ragged precip shield holding amounts down in BOS vs taint. Heaviest QOF may be south of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
