Baroclinic Zone Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Pretty good case where it's a matter of which model was less wrong. The clown maps from 0z, the NAM would have had the frozen/liquid line up north of Boston then arching back along the MA/CT line by now. The GFS would have had it on the south coast of all areas. In reality it's about evenly split between the two near/over your head. Not sure how we can say the NAM was superior at 15z based on the 0z runs. It's pretty close to both being equally wrong. I do hope you realize I am in Wrentham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centralmass Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 4.5", 12.6F Somewhat odd that I'd be a bit colder than Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma blizzard Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 4.5", 12.6F Somewhat odd that I'd be a bit colder than Sterling. Its neat to see the colder temperatures on the east side of the ORH hills 15.3 / 12 S- in Shrewsbury .. surprised that we have held off the change-over so long. Also surprising that it is 15.3 here and 18 in ORH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Okay, parachutes have commenced here at 17F – WOW. That means the vertical temperature profile is totally whack. We should feel vindicated, folks. May not be 1997 exactly, but I hammered the colder solutions should be favored in this since late last Friday and well… it’s 24 in middle CT with periodic moderate freezing rain! I think since I am about to start pinging here in the office in Westborough, …figure about 2-3 hours until you do up there in FIT and thereafter in ASH. Oh wait – back to moderate sized clusters again… heh. Well IN any event, man if this 12z NAM worked out for this weekend…? We’d be talking 4-12” from S to N ending as icing today, followed by 6-12” easily on Friday, and all that after a solid 12-24” er last week, all of which will feature little or no melt in between. Some places could have 40+ on the level come Saturday night, and the GFS hints at a big event around D10 already… Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutmegfriar Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Freezing rain has gone to plain rain. Had about an inch of snow then several hours of freezing rain. Happy to be above freezing and still with power. At least we can still work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stockmanjr Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm in Avon,CT and right now we seem to have a lull in the action. Was expecting to wake up to pinging which I'm not used to seeing often being from NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phishn Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Moderate finer snow in Stow. Opted to drive the extra distance since rte 9 west off 495 was completely gridlocked making my Westborough office an undesired destination. 4 hour commute, how's that for productivity.

Kbosch Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Received about 1.2 new SN/IP that started around 1AM plus about 0.1-0.2 of ZR that went until we made it to RA around 11 this morning.
