CNY-WXFREAK Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 GFS 10 day totals (clown Map) but the potential actually exists especially with a -EPO and a -NAO so we may be on a ride the next few weeks. Wild March Canadian 10 day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrmax Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 So do we have a model winner in this one? I’m excluding the short range ones. I don’t know if NAM wins just because of how atrocious it performed in New England regarding snowfall. I think further west, this forum, it did well. GFS? Meh. Euro...dishonored itself mostly, in aggregate. GEM/RGEM? Still snowing BTW, SN-...16” here total. Looks like one last batch rotating in now.

CNY-WXFREAK Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 BTW, another strong band, if ya wanna call it that, or a vertical blob of snow coming in from the East and it looks quite strong so lets see how long it can last. The event that just won't quit, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The event that just won't quit, lol! This outperformed my expectations for sure. I thought we would suffer what New England has, with lousy lower and mid levels but that didn’t happen at all. And the center xfer didn’t leave us gapped either. I figured one of those two issues would screw us. The warm preceding ground temps and air temps in U20s also kept road conditions from getting out of hand so not as bad an impact as a typical 16” winter event around here.

Syrmax Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I posted this in the NE forum also, someone was wondering if any station verified Blizzard conditions. Im always curious about that also. KMSV, Monticello (snippet below) looks like they probably did using the squishy "frequent" gusts over 35 mph criteria. They met the viz and duration marks for sure. Oneonta was a touch lower on winds so probably not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
