Id love to see some pictures maybe in another thread lol I will see if I can find any...but unfortunately I think they are gone. I had them posted on eastern but obviously that is no more...and both the computer and external drive I had them saved on died a long time ago...so I am not sure I have them anymore.

The miller b on the 10th was just perfect here... Manchester was under that crazy heavy band of WAA snow that set up along the mason dixon line the night before...before the coastal even started to form...and I had a few hours of the heaviest snow I have ever seen. I had 12" from that in like 3 hours. Then when the coastal bombed it was a perfect wind trajectory for the upslope enhancement here...heavy snow just kept going all day the next day. It was at least 30" but it was very hard to measure...wind was crazy, blowing things into just amazing drifts. I had pictures of snow up to roofs around town. Some of the people around me put down more than 30 but I have no way to know for sure...it was a sh!t ton of snow...that much I know. That 2nd storm Feb. 9-10 was damn near impossible to measure accurately, especially with all the other snow from a few days prior and with it blowing around all over. I marked down 12.0" where I'm at, but that might have been a bit of an underestimate. At least I saw a few other nearby reports on the order of ~14", so my measurement (such as it was) was in the ballpark anyhow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve25 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I got 28 inches from the first storm and 18 from the second near Baltimore. Was the most thrilling experience of my life so far. Remember my side street had 2-3 feet of snow for like a week afterwards. Couldn't drive even if you wanted to, unless you had a giant plow attached. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was completely shoveled out from the first one, so I think that was fairly accurate when measured in several different spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I think we are all going to have to deal with a Miller B heartbreak this year....i still think its better than a Southern Slider hearbreak that we got back in December..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even speak that into existence!!!!! Did we not just deal with that two winters in a row?

Looks like it for now. The potential saving grace is with blocked flow it's less likely (how much less is a debate in itself) to get totally shutout into a deep pit of despair. Hard to worry about anything like that 10 days in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well benchmark did say he thought more Miller Bs , of course thats fine for them. I know a weaker El Nino lowers the ceiling on snow events for us. However, wondering the implications of severe or moderate blocking later in the month and in Feb. Also, maybe a stronger push of moisture in the STJ can over ride at times issues to our North. I was hoping for a steep decline in the SOI for that very reason seems the SOI goes negative and then the moisture arrives. Not sure what will happen if the SOI is only slightly negative at that. Psu talked about why is it like it is ( the SOI ) this morning. I am simply focusing on the desire to have a long sustained -SOI or at least a short term steep drop to -20. So many elements to watch and they all play off each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the setup if we can get some consistency. Basically we want the northern s/w to outrun the southern s/w and then that southern s/w makes a turn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the most impressive mositure plumes ive ever seen. Didnt hurt having a 1050 high too Lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the look beyond what appears to be another west track will swing wildly for a few days (probably longer). It's quite possible that a threat materializes out of nowhere as we move through time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 If we are going to debate miller-b's the way they CAN work for us in the rare case where the NS system is healthy and coming across BELOW our latitude and the trough axis is centered west of our latitude...in other words the system is digging unusually far south in the midwest and the coastal is likely to develop close to the coast not way OTS then swing back in to clip Boston. It's rare to get that...and it takes extreme blocking usually, but it has happened. If you want to see an example look at the end of the ICON, that NS system coming across is likely to transfer to a coastal but where that is diving in at we would have a shot there. A system coming across the lakes is going to transfer to a low too far north for us. A general rule is the coastal will develop at the same latitude the NS vort is at when the transfer happens (the surface low will usually start to develop to the southeast along the inverted trough connecting the NS and coastal front but the coastal typically wont bomb out and really develop a healthy CCB until its at the same latitude as the NS vort and the whole system phases in)...AND once a coastal is north of our latitude we are pretty much done for...barring the kind of miracle stall/back in scenario that happens once in a lifetime. So...for us to win in a miller b we want to see the NS vort diving down pretty far south in the midwest and then we want the trough axis to be going neutral or negative at our longitude. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frd Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 At this point simply interesting seeing this. There may indeed be even more SSWE influence to enter the models in a week or two. Nonetheless, I expect the weeklies to show some off the charts blocking later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
