NorEastermass128 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 He guessed. Nothing supported this at that time frame. Well, it was a darn good guess. He deserves some credit. Now I'm very interested to see what the 12z EURO will do. Hopefully it comes NW a bit to give some breathing room should we see the E ticks in the final hours.

CoastalWx Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Once the wet snow falls and takes forever to melt....as long as you get that slushy film, it will stick quickly. This isn't March 15th with fluff falling onto pavement during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Well what changes based on a WSW being issued now or at 4? It's going to snow, and accumulate either way. Seriously, I'm curious.I am guessing they might reschedule if a warning comes out. I have to decide by 5 for advanced security systems programming since we are closed tomorrow. I alone will make that decision after the Euro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Some i guess need the reassurance, Most should already know what the answer will beyou would be surprised when phone alerts go off the attitude change. I know it's hard for people not involved in large tourist industry to understand. I think a 18 hr warning is about right. I know the politics of local office verification too. Doesn't make a damn difference to me. I have shut the place down on OKX advisory and kept it open on warning but I am not the GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 'the little critters that bite' funny ... this event throttled the area back when 5 or 6 days of modeling whence, ...then was flattened to an afterthought at one point for the outer Cape/Islands... during which time, most were focusing (way too much for their own mental health at that) neurotically on the 'supposed' big ticket item plausibility with all that train wreck in the late middle range - which still isn't even resolved .... but all the while, this thing could very well be the big daddy event. funny - probably not the case but i do enjoy when the weather makes the collective industry look like a confederacy of knee-jerk dunces.

dryslot Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 you would be surprised when phone alerts go off the attitude change.

Doesn't make a damn difference to me. I have shut the place down on OKX advisory and kept it open on warning but I am not the GP Little different in your case though, The general public only realizes something is going on by local news or alerts, On the other hand, You have to make a call but you have that ability to not having to rely on NWS to react Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoth Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Out of range, but RAP keeps ticking up each cycle. Nice 10-12" stripe now PVD to BOS. Also, general observation, but that's a lot of juice down over the SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I have never heard of one person taking specific action based on whether there's a warning issued or whether there's an advisory issued.I've heard of many.

ORH_wxman Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I have never heard of one person taking specific action based on whether there's a warning issued or whether there's an advisory issued. When I was forecasting fulltime for DOT clients...they would often call me and say "NWS has an advisory and 3-5"...but is this the type of crap that is gonna stick to the roads right away and be a mess? If so, I'll just tell everyone to come in early so we're prepared"....they would sometimes treat it as a bigger storm if it was cold and things would ramp up quickly...even if it was only like 3 or 4" of snow. It didn't matter if there was an official warning out or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanks45 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 It seems like this winter, every storm along the coast has gotten more amped up and west as we got closer. Must have something to do with the water temps in the area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
