I know, I had a book mark for the 00z and 12z runs and the 06z and 18z runs, Now they have them together to hr 90

Oh I think as you drill down to local maps they separated

See, I do not mind the moderate events in this pattern.

Its when I get 5" with bare ground and nothing else in site that leaves something to be desired. I don't need a bomb in this pattern, though obviously one would be preferred anytime beyond Monday.

Same....I'll take frequent light to moderate events in a cold pattern with sustained pack.  Now, get to 3/10 or so, and let's go KU or go torch.

They were, Now they have them all together, You can still get the 00z and 12z out to hr 240 but they added them in with the 06z and 18z out to hr 90.

Hopefully the GGEM pans out or we can tick it south even more. Running out of time up here for plain cirrus.

I think you breaked.  Come back.

Tuesday...

Shortwave trough approaches from the west increasing the forcing
for ascent. The result will be snow overspreading the region
from west to east Tuesday morning and continuing for much of
the afternoon. There is some modest lift indicated in the
snowgrowth region and the warm advection developing over the
cold dome supports widespread accumulating snow for most of
southern New England. After coordination with surrounding
offices, opted to hold off on Winter Weather Headlines with this
package but they will likely be needed. Ptype should mainly be
snow, except perhaps near the south coast, Cape and Islands
where some boundary layer warmth may result in a change to rain.

Current indications are for a general 2 to 5 inches of snow
across the region on Tuesday. The one thing will need to watch
is a weak wave of low pressure passing to our south. There is a
southwest LLJ on the order of 35 to 45 knots. If this wave can
setup some sort of low level boundary, it is not out of the
question for localized higher snow amounts. Something will have
to keep an eye on over the next 24 hours. Regardless, another
accumulating snow event is on the way.

This.  Just need refreshers.

I can’t wait for another 1-2”. Keep’em coming. An Ullr fart every few days that’ll take me a few hours to clean up.

go with the trending Euro  #realsnow4dendy

I recall last winter. We got a single 1 foot storm in december.... and then, it virtually never snowed again the rest of the winter

BOX might hoist some Warnings at 4?   Kinda close 

That would be a little extreme I think.  I think advisories should cover it outside of any lollies.  They can always ramp up.

Nah. Go big or go home. VT can have this useless 1-2” every 3 days garbage. 6”+ is a different story. The pattern we’ve been in is just annoying.

Anyway...not much to add beyond Will, Scoot, et al. Could be a little stripe in MA around warning criteria while we manage 1.7” of salt and sugar. I’m a little anal with how I clean up the snow so I’m a bit frustrated, but it is what it is. It’s a nice little run for SNE.

Thanks guys.   Gotta watch those soundings more closely.  Was yesterday signaled?

Yes look at this sounding

The growth? Yes. Although the 12z NAMs seemed to have the lift a little above the DGZ at BOS in the H4-H5 layer. Actual was closer to H6 like Scoot said.

Looks like the best goodies head for those that were left out yesterday. Will be nice to see flakes on the air again, even if we flip to rain for a bit.

I generally agree with you.  But for some reason I am just loving this period of winter and the snow building of the snow pack with the regular refreshers.  Maybe it the isolation and the lack travel, which means I have a lot of free time to just be, and be outside for long walks.  I'm hoping we get 4 tomorrow and then maybe a larger one like the Euro is teasing, for Sunday-Monday, as a big storm on top of this pack would be nice.

I’m just being a little bitchy. It isn’t that bad. I’ve chosen to shovel/broom these light events to keep the driveway a bit exposed and limit the ice buildup and it’s a decent workout. As I’ve said before, if the alternative is below zero and dry I’ll take this right through the rest of the month.

I dunno.  Prob right, but that Euro has given me pause for thought

And this part of winter is actually positively conducive to mental health for a lot of people. By the 2nd week of Feb the sunlight and day length increase dramatically promoting positive mood.... which in our case is amplified by large snows

I don't think we will see the insane band that we had yesterday....fronto seems to be virtually non-existent.

This is what I was referring to...if we had any fronto whatsoever, there would be another death band.

Yeah, I got just over an inch yesterday but did not dare just leave it on the driveway to be packed down.  PIA

As sun angle goes up, moods go down lol

Wrong thread I guess, but you can see how far off the 3km NAM was between 12z yesterday and 18z as it was verifying. That lift ended up right in the DGZ instead of near the tropopause. lol

First middle and last call from all of us at the ECTWX Center. 5 to 8 on a line from Danbury Ct through the Mastiff up to Lowell Mass to include all of a line west of that in CT,Mass  Southern 1/4 NH and Vt. 3 to 6 East and South of that line to the Cape Canal, sorry James

Yeah if it wasn’t for skiing maybe it’s different?  I dunno I still love watching it snow a little every day.  Snowy evenings like 4-5 days a week.

But I also don’t detail the property and vegetation on it.  Just shovel out the dog paths once in a while so she can move around and the path out to the snow board.  I don’t do anything for the 1-4” fluffs except enjoy watching them.
