This one intensifies near Cape Cod, too late to wrap the cold air around at all levels. WX/PT Disagree with that. We’ve had setups where we’ve cleaned up without it.

Yep, 2/13/14 for example I don’t think was a rapidly intensifying coastal and there was widespread 10-14” amounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterweatherlover Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 You dont need a rapidly intensifying coastal when it's already frigid, you just need a storm thats not going to warm up all the levels, unfortunately this storm will likely do that with it's combined primary/secondary tracks.

That storm was a beast. I was in Nassau and I had 5” in one hour. Was insane. if we can hang out on snow for an extra 2 hours we could snag a foot, but the consensus is for a changeover around 5 pm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastalplainsnowman Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 6 minutes ago, Metasequoia said: It's good to keep expectations in check... and a 24 hour storm with 6 to 10 inches of snow and sleet (followed by below freezing temps for a week) would typically thrill everyone on here. As always it's about expectations rather than actual accumulations, to a silly extreme. Once you get the idea in your head that someone is going to give you 12 to 18 hundred dollars, and they only give you 6 hundred, there's actually sadness, even though virtually any other week of any winter in the last three years you'd be thrilled if someone handed you 600 dollars.

jm1220 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 8 minutes ago, psv88 said: I think totals will come down at the next shift. Maybe 6-10” for the city and coast. 10-14” is too bullish now. Unfortunately that secondary isn’t much of a help. I’m still very much looking forward to tracking this beast, even though it’s become a glorified SWFE for the coast We did pretty well last Feb with that smaller SWFE when the snow came in heavy right away. Same with Nov 2018 which was completely unexpected. This will have a larger overrunning surface which means theoretically a longer duration of snow. But we really have to see how this evolves overnight/in the morning. We’ll do well if we have heavy snow echos coming in like a wall for hundreds of miles to the south. If we have spotty in some places heavy snow in some places light and dry holes thrown in, we won’t. And the sleet will take over sooner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media doesn't help with this, if they wouldn't be calling for a foot for days and days and days but I guess it's also our choice whether we listen or ignore it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking 8-10” total where we are, have to hedge lower with the NAM as crappy as it is and GFS cutting back. Hopefully the snowy models have a clue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

November 2018 was incredible. people on here seem to have trauma or something. We’ve had MANY positive busts with SWFEs. Many many. They often turn out better than expected, especially with an arctic high up north 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had 10-12” on north shore of Nassau with that one before short flip to sleet from what I remember. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
