backedgeapproaching Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 16.1" so far in the books. Radar looks pretty good on the backside for a lot of VT. 20+ seems possible. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOSTA Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Interesting storm from afar. The personal snow-loving dog always skews what is known and what actually is posted. Many fall victim to that in the forum. Henceforth I'll try to remove bias a keep to known facts based on science. I don't know if the graphics I post are useful, just curious, do forumites find them annoying? Me thinks winter ain't done yet! Freeze Watch in effect. My bones have acclimated nicely.

Maybe that can spare ITH the embarrassment of not cracking 10" when one county away is measuring in feet. That happened many a time...I remember in Jan 25, 2000 "model bust" storm...I think a bunch of towns like Greene, BGM, and Cortland all had 12"+ synoptically, and then we come in with 6". We got 7 inches that night/next morning on Cayuga effect to finish with 13" and spare the embarrassment of being like half of everyone else.

mreaves Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm closing in on 16" as well. There is between 4"&5" new from 4:30 when I measured 11". The wind has played a little more of a role with what has fallen this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTWeatherFreak Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 When did the west trend start in earnest.... within the final 24 hrs leading up? Leaves one asking themselves other than signaling an opportunity for an event, and a hint at its strength, whats the point in tracking storms a week or more in advance in anything but the most general of ways when the specifics arent even known until the last 24 hrs? Kudos to the mesos for latching on to this last minute change, and fi on us who chose not to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models were west, then moved east, then moved back west in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 So I just measured on Google Earth: when I woke up from my nap to roof rattling gusts I couldn't see the condos across the street. That's only 75 yards away. I thought it was longer than 100. So color me impressed with the day time blizzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 18-36" call was good.....it just verified like 25-50mi west of where I had it. Probably matured a little too soon for us to keep the deformation nearby. By the time it got to our area it had already thrown the best forcing for deformation well to the west. I was hoping we'd get another New Years type storm that rapidly went to town overhead, keep the best banding close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely won't lose sleep over missing it, but a great March storm. The winds in the interior, seemed to really rock. Something not always the case. You wonder if the lack of true arctic in March helped allow the profiles to mix a bit unlike a similar setup earlier in winter. It's one of many things, but it may have helped tap that rocket LLJ.

You think the 500mb low to the west south of BUF might have messed up some of the forcing? Ryan had mentioned that the other day. There isn't like your typical 700mb deformation wall over eny, it's a broad area of deformation and trowal stuff over the entire northeast.

Siker Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Decent rates again out here as the backside works its way through. Haven't been good about measuring but would guess 15". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTWeatherFreak Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Ray, I think you did pretty well.. Didnt Litchfield county, Torrington, et. al. verify at 18+. I figure if we got a foot here, Im sure they bested us by at least 6".. Ryan had 18-24 also for that area. You might have missed by a little in west hartford county, but didnt you nail Litchfield? And didnt Danbury get to almost 18" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
