NeonPeon Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 You can see how these bands are going to pivot now, but the have and have lesses... Undetermined. I have my guess though. Up to 2 inches. Very very wet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll get 15" or better. I'll never forget Bruce Schwoegler forecasting 20-30" and getting 1" on the North Shore MA as a kid. At least this one was always a tease up here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good NAM runs, before it took it's ball and went home, had that CT band cutting through the Merrimack valley up here, which is why it was respectable out this way.

bristolri_wx Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 My f**k**g lord we are two hours into this storm and both threads have become almost intolerable. Maybe it isn't as prolific as expected because it goes a little more ENE than NE, but radar returns are already verifying better than the models themselves in the short term. Nowcast and enjoy.

Going to the Superbowl 18-0 is something that happened. You already won a lot. You might not win in future, but those things happened. Being modeled to have good snow is a predictive model of what might happen based on imperfect information, imperfect understanding, and imperfect modeling. Nothing happened. The fact that what will happen will absolutely not verify verbatim doesn't mean anything about whether you'd rather be there or not, other than the psychology of it. Or is that what you mean, that you'd rather expect something mediocre and be pleasantly surprised? Because that's how I go into every storm based on caveman pattern recognition and climo.
