Would you take more stock in what the euro is showing as far as the sleep line staying closer to the shoreline, are you still considering the NAMM as a heavy contender bringing the sleet up into the middle of the state?

Keep this in mind the Mets here are conservative. Always under in big ones I find clown maps in general to be very misleading. They are ok for kind of gauging the max zone or distribution of snowfall but even in those cases you have to be careful…esp when it’s very very cold like this storm. It tries to spit out like 20+ to 1 ratios way up north where arctic sand might be falling. They are kind of fun to look at, but be aware of your audience, lol. Those of us who are on here all the time and look at them all the time know their shortcomings, but many irregular posters who jump on during larger events might not. The ramping up of QPF in this system is a very good sign though for the higher amounts. A lot of times we see some decent haircuts as we get closer if it’s not a big coastal…but not this time. This one looks like the real deal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just went out to fill the empty gas can for the snow blower. Its madness. Had to go to three stations to find an acceptable wait. One had not gas. Not sure if it was a technical issue or they were out. All gas handles were covered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that is true. The only method which factors in lift and omega is the cobb technique. What the Kuchera (and 10:1) do when it comes to max banding is highlight where the greatest QPF is forecast (by the model) and where that coincides with what the model believes will be all snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one looks like the real deal. I agree about the very slow ramping up of the QPF. That’s why I’m leaning higher from my area. 12 to 18 but I think they’ll be people in southern New Hampshire who get 20 or a little more it just won’t be widespread.

That's why I am not a fan of the snow maps, all they do is just take forecast QPF and multiply that by a snow ratio. There is no factoring in of lift, snow growth, RH of the DGZ and RH with respect to ice crystals in the DGZ. What separates the Kuchera from 10:1 (besides the obvious being 10:1 maps are constant) is it factors in the average temperature of the llvls to compute a snow ratio. The Kuchera method I also believe was designed to be a tool for snowfall depth. There are a few moduels on MetEd which go into some depth on these maps. When it comes to verifying Kuchera versus what occurred, the results were/are not particularly great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The Winter lecture my professor just posted for winter weather forecast actually has a slide on Kuchera method. One of the bullet points Does not account for vertical velocity, depth of DGZ, saturation of DGZ, dry layers near surface, time of year, or stability Often overpredicts snowfall in in very cold airmasses and in marginal/mixing situations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
