OFFICIAL NEW ENGLAND WINTER 10/11 STORM THREAD

Definitely did not flop. A flop would mean that it did not storm anywhere. This storm dropped some nasty, heavy snowfalls over Southern New England. The moisture cutoff was insanely sharp though and this meant that you either got lit up, or you go nothing.

Looks like a quiet stretch with some elevation driven snow showers the next few days before another arctic airmass for early next week. Nothing big on the immediate horizon.
 
Looking like another potential storm for Wednesday. Right now it looks to be South, again.

I am going to scream if Southern New England gets throttled again while Northern New England sees little.
 
this is the most snow in years at my house.

urban is almost not as cool because every rail is soo piled in snow and takes a shitload of time to dig out
 
Tuesday night - Wednesday is looking very strong as of now. Very good, consistent runs. Looking at a longer duration monster that may be the biggest of the winter so far.
 
From Burlington National Weather Service:

"SRN STREAM ORIGIN OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BRINGS AMPLE GULF

MOISTURE NORTHWARD...WITH QG AND FRONTOGENETIC FORCING FOCUSED ACROSS OUR SRN FORECAST AREA. PROSPECT EXISTS FOR A MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL EVENT...WITH 5-10 INCHES ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF CWA...AND 6-12+ ACROSS THE SRN HALF. RAW 00Z GFS QPF AROUND 1.4" FOR RUTLAND/WINDSOR COUNTY SUGGESTS SNOW AMOUNTS PUSHING 12-18" ARE POSSIBLE...BUT WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR SLEET TO CUT THAT DOWN SOMEWHAT. KVSF SOUNDING PROFILE RIGHT AT 0C 800-750MB FOR 18Z WEDNESDAY. THE 00Z ECMWF HAS MAX QPF SHIFTED FURTHER NORTH...ACROSS THE NRN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. TRAVEL IMPACTS COULD BE QUITE SIGNIFICANT AREA WIDE LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...ALL DAY WEDNESDAY...AND INTO THE FIRST HALF OF WEDNESDAY NIGHT."

Keep in mind that those projections are blanket statements that do not take into account topography and elevation factors...

Wednesday and Thursday in VT are going to be good.
 
All of VT is going to get in on the action with this. HEAVIEST focus is predicted to be Central VT at this point in time, but everyone will be seeing some nice snowfall out of this with the way things are currently lining up.

Confidence is high on it, so expect to see Winter Storm Watches up sometime tomorrow. There will be some moderate snows Tuesday during the day associated with a warm front out ahead of the storm. May see 3-6" with higher at elevation, from this front before the main event. I've heard a lot of talk that even 20-30"+ is not out of the realm of possibility.

Keep tuned.

Yes please...
 
THIS STORM IS GONNA BE EPIC! and Joe, sorry bud but there is gonna be mixing says multiple sources. We still could see more that 20 inches and the mixing is only gonna be sleet so its all good.
 
Cats might see some mixing due to the heavy warm air advection and a heavy denser snowfall. Southern VT should stay all snow. Northern VT will definitely stay all snow with less overall liquid equivalent but better fluff factor due to colder temperatures.

With a nice base in place, this storm is going to be the one of the season. Not to mention that we will see a few bonus inches tomorrow from the warm front racing out in front of the storm.

Hope you guys can get after it like I know I will be!
 
No class Wed/Thurs, FUCK YES. AND I just got my GoPro in the mail. Holy shit I am pumped, lets just hope that its nice and fluffy
 
yes. You will most likely have an early release, def snowday on wed. and possible 2 hour delay on thursday. Im predicted this for seacoast NH and I haven't been wrong yet.
 
Not to get ahead of ourselves as we are in the midst of a VERY strong storm, but always gotta have the eye on the horizon!

"LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

AS OF 231 AM EST TUESDAY...EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD SHOULD BEGIN TRANQUIL WITH SFC RIDGE IN PLACE ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY PROVIDING LIGHT WINDS AND TEMPERATURES NEAR SEASONAL AVERAGES THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. 500MB FLOW PATTERN IS GRADUALLY TRANSITIONING FROM NW FLOW TO SW FLOW AS WE MOVE THRU FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO A DEEP MERIDIONAL UPR TROUGH EXPECTED TO BE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS FRIDAY NIGHT AND MOVING INTO THE OHIO/TN RIVER VALLEYS DURING THE DAY SATURDAY. THIS STRONG UPR WAVE WILL INDUCE SFC CYCLOGENESIS NEAR THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION SATURDAY MORNING. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR

SIGNIFICANT QPF TO THE NORTH COUNTRY LATE SATURDAY THRU SATURDAY NIGHT. THERE HAS BEEN A TREND FOR MOST OF THE NWP GUIDANCE TO TREND FURTHER NORTH AND WEST WITH THE SUBSEQUENT LOW TRACK LATE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. THE 00Z ECMWF IS NOW THE FURTHEST WEST...WITH A LOW TRACK ACROSS CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND WHICH WOULD YIELD A WINTRY MIX ACROSS MUCH OF THE NORTH COUNTRY. THE 00Z OPERATIONAL GFS IS NOW INSIDE THE BENCHMARK WITH SFC LOW PASSING NEAR CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS AROUND 00Z SUNDAY AND THERMAL PROFILES FAVORABLE FOR ALL SNOW ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY. THE 00Z GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN REMAINS CLOSE TO THE 40N 70W BENCHMARK AT 06Z SUNDAY. OVERALL...CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING THAT THE STORM SYSTEM
