Powerful Multi-regional/ multi-faceted east coastal storm now above medium confidence: Jan 29 -30th, MA to NE, with snow and mix combining high wind, and tides. Unusual early confidence ...

It feels like Jan '96 was the last time I had a really big one during the day. I'm really stoked about that.

Last February 1st it was during the day.

I like Boxing Day, 2010 as an analog for this storm. But for this storm I don't think H5 will close off as early as it did.

NAM guidance is still fluid... look at the southern shortwave at 6z Friday... it has trended 50-100 miles east (more conducive to phase) every run for 4 runs in a row now

Great run for SNE

Nah … there’s no way this is a rainer 

 

[JC-CT]

The amount of moisture this storm has to work with is insane

[weathafella]

Yeah last year on Super Bowl Sunday was daytime and nice but certainly not of this one’s potential.

That's true. I guess I was in the office and unable to really enjoy it.

that was another great closed off storm, and as I said before the start of probably the most epic run of snow for a month that I remember, 40" on my roof, but 96 was great too, it just found was to snow, like every other day that winter...77-78 was another one

Marginal temps and big time shadowed.

96 had a confluent flow north of the border, so the storm scooted east at 70 N.

This storm, though, with no confluence has more of a potential to retrograde back into the Gulf of Maine and give NNE some love.

Fook that storm. Put up 3" that melted while everyone on either side of me was doing naked cartwheels.

Amherst is always ground zero for subsidence.

That feels like an exception to the rule. And it's only really for coastals.

Never had an accumulation issue with clippers or SWFE unless 2m temps are marginal.

Yes it is.  Northampton, right on the river, does better than Amherst.  Those hills just to the east in Pelham and Shutesbury are pounding snow while Amherst sits in -SN.

I meant the winter as a whole, but that storm was good not great, think I ended up with close to 2', but I was out driving around in it in my first truck, and at one point snowing so hard I could only see by the faint glow of street lights, my opinion was better than 93, imby at least, as a whole, I'd rank 78, 13, 96, and there's a bunch more like 82 in there... this one has that feeling to it, I know now it's way more to it than muh feels, but...muh feels say we snow big

I just figured maybe it's good for predicting soil temps in the hinterland or something

Well, the entire valley jacked in that one.  Before that you probably need to go back to 2002 for a valley crush job.
