Winter Weather / Re: Blizzard for New England 2013

« on: February 08, 2013, 10:07:54 PM »

There have been multiple reports of snowfall rates as high as 4-6 in/hr!  I didn't catch the name of the town (wasn't completely focused on my TV when he said the name), but Chris Warren mentioned this town saw a foot of snow in two hours! My jaw drops when we see 1 in/hr rates here, I can ONLY imagine what 6 inches/hr would be like to witness in person.

EDIT: I found out what town it was, this tweet was posted over at AmWx

Storm spotters in Coventry, CT of 12 inches in 90 minutes. I have never heard of snowfall rates of 8" per hour!?? #blizzard #n

It should be changing over to snow within the hour.

And it did 

32.9°F Heavy Snow
Vis: 1/8 miles
Sitting under a 50dbz snow band.

You'll probably start seeing some thundersnow within the next several hours along with those intense snowbands spiraling in. (hover your mouse over Current Lightning Data at the top right.)

Quiet and calm here: 52 and partly cloudy.

33.7°F Heavy Sleet

This sucks

4km NAM gives me 30" of snow.

It should be changing over to snow within the hour.

I feel fairly confident about this, so this is my final map.

I noticed that too. Kinda odd.

EDIT: Who wants to bet Cantore will have another "thundersnow" moment while in Boston?

I wouldn't recommend using the GFS or any other long range model as your main guidance at this point since you're within less than 24 hours of the event effecting your area. I would focus a little more on the short range models like the NAM, RPM, SERF, RAP, etc. since they tend to pick up on some of the mesoscale features that the GFS, ECMWF, CMC, etc might not see.

Do u know how many inches of snow central NJ will get?

According to the NWS, 6-10 inches.

Blizzard Warnings were extended to include the NYC metro area.

Not bad. I would expect to see 6 inches at the least.

And why did they choose the name Nemo? Are they serious of all names to use they decide to name a blizzard after a fish?

I'm pretty sure they had no control over Nemo being the next name to follow on the list for this storm. I wonder if they played a game of Polo with the computer models to find him? He's been missing for 10 years. (Yeah, yeah, I know lame joke.) Someone had to do it eventually.

And this is why I avoid New England during this time of year. I like snow but not a lot of it. A foot at one time? No thanks.

I like to experience all kinds of weather extremes, I've never been through a blizzard so I would like see for myself in person what's it like.

I don't really do snowfall maps much outside of the Southeast, but I thought I would take a crack at this blizzard. I hope my map isn't too confusing, it's part of the reason I added city markers.
