Euro looks more amplified at 102

Dec 23, 1997 is one of the biggest "modern day" busts ev-A for SNE.  Another one is Mar 7-8, 2013 (4-8" at best from the ECMWF, and Blue Hill gets 30!"). Another one?  CoastalWx super favorite - Dec 9. 2005.  100+ mph gusts?  Only in hurricanes do we get that in SNE!  And reliable reports in Andover MA area of SNOINCR 9!  TS+ all over the place.

Dec 23, 1997 the following day BOS Herald front page headline - "THEY BLEW IT!" and have all the OCMs on the previous evening photos (Harvey Leonard was on vacation, so they did not show his photo).  Typical Herald w/ a cheesy headline (it goes way back, Sep 13, 1988 for HU Gilbert front page headline "KILLER'CANE!!!"

Your Acton SNOINCR 7 jibes well w/ the SNOINCR 8 in Ayer MA.  Nice to have verification!

The low itself was rather small and not that deep (1000 m I think)  And there was a little bubble high over nrn ME, which likely played a role in keeping it just cold enough.

This was a watershed event in some regards.  The following year the the SNE Wx Confernce, WFO BOX talked about DGZ.  Totally new concept, at leas to me at the time. Not all snowflakes are created equal!
 

Nice! 

Yeah...so Tam' and I were just musing how 'don't assume just because a low pressure looks weak -'     But yeah, we can probably see a similarity where most of these bigger busts of lore were associated with presumably weak systems.  Really all that is needed is one of the metrics to be huge and the storm in question can goes crazy production off that one factor.  Superb DGZ like you were saying for example, in a marginal situation = over-performance.

Then there was Dec 9-11 1992.   zomb

Not sure if my flight to DC on Friday with a flight back to BOS on Sunday is the greatest idea anymore.. 

[dryslot]

Heights a bit higher out ahead on the 18z Euro so this will be a bit better then the 12z run.

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Skynet also ticked nw.

[Sey-Mour Snow]

Everything looks a good bit better actually, lets see if surface responds.. might be a big hit just south of SNE, very long duration, more energy diving in prolonging snow well into Monday 

[dryslot]

That trailing wave on the euro pushes some snow into CNE/NNE @hr 144 too

[dendrite]

Too bad the Pats didn’t get the 1 seed. That would’ve been a cold game Sunday.

I was really hoping for BUF@NE in the AFCCG.

Not Titans Jan 04 cold but that would’ve been up there in the top 5 or 10 I would think.

Yeah it’s capturing the sfc at 144 and redeveloping significant precip over New England. Even into NNE

[dendrite]

That upper level look screams sig event despite what the sfc reflection is. Still a lot to iron out, but just keep H5 looking like that.

It makes sense it’s also not on its own showing that either, other ops have it, cmc parallel had it at 12z 

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Canada leading the way again, maybe…

I was at that one in 04, It was below zero teen wind chill with low single digit highs for that game.

15-20 inches down here in NYC and still snowing on the op. Eps made a significant move towards a better solution.
