Its amazing how even just some wobbles in the lobes of vorticity slinging around the ULL really have a huge impact on the firehose. That's going to be hard to predict....because like 4-6 hours difference could be pretty big sensible wx changes.


Agree
Posted as much earlier: small changes in handling of these vorticity lobes will have a disproportionately significant impact on outcome for eastern SNE

Sucks that we can't rely on larger synoptic guarantee of big snows

Will be back later tonight to look at stuff

33 and wet snow

(Temp dropped 7f in 2hrs) when it began as a sprinkle

1760'

Hunter, NY

Light precip

 

Up scribner hollow road ( a weenie drive after a weenie trip) its steady light snow w a coating on grass and 32 above 1950-2000'

Went as high as 2300' near east Jewett and things got dicey w snow on trees and roads

A fn plastering is on the way

Rooting for folks out east/home

Traditionally the deepest around Hunter there will be further northeast toward the escarpment with the upslope.  I'd recommend Elka Park and just north in East Jewett....if you are looking to find the deepest. I grew up at the base of the mountain in Saugertes/Catskill and as an example on 4/1/97 East Jewett got 37".

Yeah basically on Ashland line.

 

Are you near Hunter/Green in Sherborn? That's a good weenie spot. There's actually several good weenie spots in Sherborn with the hills and also they seem to get good CAD there.

I used to live on the medway/Holliston line, Winthrop street area. My friend lived in ashland. He always got more snow and I remember times when I was rain and he was snow

I was looking at like captains lookout inn About 10 miles North Of here on NE ridgeline @1800' . 

Just Drove by couple nice inns in Jewett at 2k.

Ill just have to deal w what falls here lol

For the absolute deepest snow you snow shoe to the top of Blackhead Mountain on northeast escarpment...can see CT, MA and VT from there.  3900' or so elevation. :) trail from Big Hollow Road near Maplecrest.

I'm sure this will be good in Hunter, but it can never top the 72" in late February 2010.

 

The downside to the Catskills is they torch terribly in cutters, but that's the way it goes.

The Hi-res RGEM went from 8-12" in 2 consecutive cycles over SE MA to nada. 

Pretty much the signature of this event. Some models improve and some get worse, and by the end of the cycle it’s basically a wash.

Im done trying to figure out what is going to happen. Maybe as the flip ( if it happens) closes in.. things will become clearer. This storm has been brutal though. Feels like it was a waste of time regardless of the outcome.

At this point, who cares. If a model is that unstable 24 hours out, wipe your a$$ with it first and ask questions later.

The problem is the model may have changed a layer by like 0.5c and the snow algorithm wipes out 6” of snow due to a very subtle shift.

Yup.. really wanted the models to get an idea with this long before now, instead of watching it swing wildly from run to run or suite to suite.

Regardless....who cares. We know its that marginal, so the changes lose significance because its within the realm of noise.

Personally, I'd rather sit on an oozie and rotate, than scan the assortment of meso guidance for every .3* change that will reverse next hour.
