Zeus Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'd also be concerned about crappy flakes. We've got a dusting down in Brookline currently. I honestly don't care what happens with the snow, but it would be nice to avoid rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark 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. Agree. Congrats, Scooter...again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'd also be concerned about crappy flakes. Coming down pretty good but you are right snow growth isn't great. 23/19. SN I certainly do not like that CT size hole over upstate New York. It would suck if that doesn't back fill and I am not convinced that it will. Looks pretty for now, town roads and I-91 are snow-covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxsniss Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 NAM verifying badly in PA northwest of Lehigh... warm push / best qpf shifted significantly southeast into Philly area we'll see, but I think this bodes well for MBY, and by that I mean Max's back yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Lol...I'm 10 years older. And have been under the wx for a month. So it's been hard. Doesn't mean I don't welcome it.

Dotb Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Came in fast, and dumping snow here right now. No idea what the forecast is at the moment for this area, but this seems to be more than I expected this early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 well .5QPF line was South of city on Euro.... 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. I guess you mean less than forecast..bc all models had heavier South of city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78Blizzard 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. The RGEM disagrees with you for Boston area and SW.

CoastalWx Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 ya, thou it has looked that way for days....you mean less than forecast I know that. I think BOS will be fine, but sometimes the precip shield isn't as healthy north of the good forcing like some models show. It's something to watch, that's all...wasn't trying to cause anxiety. I think the whole axis slowly lifts north tonight. My guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduggs Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 So far in upstate NY, things are matching pretty well with the RGEM. Good snows from Utica to Bennington. Less in the mid-hudson valley up through ALB. Hopefully the next batch hits CT and parts of MA pretty good overnight. I'll wait for a cutter to roll the dice with. Longitude and elevation have not been helpful since November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGEM has been crushing Kev now to over to GINXY for a while. with Distinct Drop off in ORH county I just cleared a friends roof, the pack is so impressive that I was able to walk across the top of the snowpack it and only sink down a few inches. I mean I would like a few more feet, but at this point a nice refresher will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWolf Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 That looks very nice for CT. Interesting. Another 6-7 inches to the pack will be a nice addition, if it pans out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduggs Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 RGEM went from about 1" to 5" for ALB. HMM. Looks really different for ENY than 12z. Maybe it thinks we already picked up a few tenths. I don't buy it locally, but looks reasonable for southern areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
