I remember waking up at 2am we had close 8" and it must have showed 3-4" an hr for the next 3 hrs and waking saying WTF did all that come from!

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Maybe it was one big band stretching from the NY border through the valley, maybe Will has the radar loop saved to his limbic system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might've enjoyed the 1/27 storm even more because it was somewhat unexpected. 4-5" per hr thundersnow and 15" total over an already deep deep pack.

If he's describing a storm in march then he's probably thinking of 3/7-8/13...aka The Firehose Storm. Forecast was pretty subdued on that one from a lot of agencies. Both messenger (RIP) and I were very bullish on that storm but in the end even our musings weren't bullish enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the GFS struggled mightily with that one (what else is new?), and Pete B. bought its output hook, line and sinker and predicted a slushy inch in Boston. I remember him yammering about the wind being off the water or something. Oops. I remember we had our annual corporate meeting on the top floor of 60 State the morning the firehose kicked in and I was so distracted by the pounding snow I had difficulty focusing on my presentation. Nice 30 inches for Blue Hills. Southern RI got screwed by the worst subsidence I'd seen (up until last March in my present location). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny how despite the snowy last 15 years only three of their top 10 occurred then.

That was our first “real” storm in our first winter season after moving here in Aug 2004.....I even remember HFD county getting included in the blizzy warning late in the game and the 20+ forecast amounts as late as the onset of snow heading into the evening hours.....then we only got like 12” here in WeHa....not sure if the blizzy verified.....I was bummed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Interior people always forget that eastern MA climo for snow comes with fewer events. If it’s cold enough, eastern areas win in a coastal-the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one has actually been looking good on the ensembles too. Still a long ways to go in a mediocre pattern, but there's some synoptic players there that can produce.

You have a decent 1036 mb high that helps to feed some cold and a 50/50 low that acts as a block to slow this down to a long duration event.

Yep, ensembles have been pretty bullish on the high that's being forced down by the ULL to the east. But really not worth getting totally invested until it's at least another couple days closer. A slight change in the look and this could just be a St. Lawrence runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
