what's Boston's 24-hour snow record? and any chance it gets broken?

25.4” in April ‘97. 
 

There is a zero percent chance that gets broken in this storm.

Forgot about the GFS 

Here's 12z GFS bufkit for BDL. Even a bit more intense than the NAM.

Tell me what that shows Paul? Driving home from northern Maine as we speak.

This page seems to discuss how NWS offices/mets are to create operational snowfall forecasts, and how not to, based on model output:

Hmm Kooch seems to be the go to in cold non windy events. Thanks for the link

actually I think thought they touched 26 and change Feb 2003?   ..I coulda swore.  I know the president's day storm did 27.5 total, not sure about the 24 hour part

New Box map

Good grief! Nantucket isn't getting 8-12 inches of snow. Kudos to BOX for finally trimming amounts. Took them long enough. Their 18-24 for new Bedford was the worst forecast I've ever seen. BOX used to be a damn good office. Before these offices were consolidated in the mid to late 90s we used to have some bad ones but the Taunton office did great work but we're now living in ELON'S NOAA.

Very heavy snow for early-to-mid afternoon, potentially approaching 1.5-2 inches per hour during the peak which could persist for several hours. Moderate snow continuing into the evening before tapering off. Going to be at least a good foot for all (except maybe shoreline where it could be more 9-10")

It shows exceptional rates centered on the late afternoon / evening period!

No it’s all good out fishing and it’s pretty nice out actually with the wood stove ripping in the shack lol

Does anyone actually stake tip-ups on the lake but outside of the shacks?  Doesn’t seem to be the case.   Also, is that a Jerry-rigged power line set-up overhead?

How am I supposed to watch 2”/hr rates and the patriots kick ass at once?

Just pure nudity on the NAM

looking at that temp gradient.

Just want to thank you guys for another storm where I look way more informed than I actually am.

Yeah both Feb ‘78 and Feb ‘03 beat April ‘97 for storm total but neither of them beat the 24 hour record from ‘97.

GYX is like a 900 number.

Mesoscale guidance is
also beginning to show hints of a few mesoscale features as well
including some possible ocean enhancement as well as perhaps an
inverted trof. These features are notoriously difficult to
forecast but broadly speaking, SE NH and perhaps portions of
the SW ME coastline could be most likely to be these "hot
spots."

Nam is good

The way I do it is watch in my 4 season porch with huge windows and wide open visible.  Then I take a quick walk at halftime and after the game until the NFC contest.

Nam looks good for Monday.
