Feb 5th and 6th

Hey why not!

Well with 3-6 inches tomorrow mid morning in NH and another 1-2 feet Wednesday morning, why not look ahead to this weekend.

I don't put much faith in long term forecast, especially those from NECN, but Matt Noyes is anticipating another major snow for central and southern New England. We'll see!

 

[Glenn]

HA! Sweetness! NWS already had a 40% chance of snow slated for Saturday in CT....

Matt Noyes thinks so, but he tweeted that he's holding off on even mentioning it till after this one is over. He's very sensitive to the hyping.

Which is all the more reason why I started the Feb 8/9 discussion thread when Matt briefly tweeted about it last night.

In online weather forum land, this one (8/9) is getting more interest than the 5/6 storm as of now

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

didnt i see a potential 11/12th storm too??

 

[UVSHTSTRM]

The funny thing is, it's snowing out hard here in Claremont, NH, an area where Matt Noyes had a big 15-24 inch bullseye, and I doubt we have more than 4 inches of snow, and maybe 2-3 hours of moderate snow left before it winds down. That being said, we will probably get more on Saturday (minor storm) then today, minus the hype.

Bill, Matt Noyes is one of the biggest over estimators of snow on the planet and he hypes the crap out of storms. The thing is he is very good at his job, good presence on screen, loves weather etc, so people tend to look past his early over hype of storms. Either way, I still have to shovel and it's is snowing so I am happy.

I personally like the guy too but don't follow NECN, so I can't attest to his accuracy very much. Was that just for today's storm or the 2 day total? The only reason I ask is that with two storms so close together, there have been a lot of maps depicting each of the 2 separate storms PLUS one for a 2 day total. There are so many numbers floating around out there now (not to mention the recent changes) that there is now just information overload....heck, I don't even track more than one or two other sources for comparison sake--it's just too much to keep track of.

By the way, you're going to be into some heavier snow the next hour or two if you're not already...we're into the heavier "showery" type snow mixed in (southern NH)...all different types of flakes and intensities.

I saw those heavier bands and they have indeed arrived. I measuered just prior to the bands getting here so we will see how much falls over the next couple hours. 4 inches prior so we'll see. Looks like that sleet line is getting close too.

I'm in for Fri-Sat.

 

[Glenn]

Another 6" of snow on top of the foot + would make for a good weekend in my book.

 

[Greg]

Fingers crossed for a SoVT hit.

Looking like Friday/Saturday for me. Maybe Sunday if I "get stranded". Most of my housemates are in Utah and I think I have the place at Mt. Snow to myself - if you're interested PM me.
Tentatively Mt. Snow Friday, Magic Saturday (and Sunday) if the stars align.

Aiming for Magic on Sunday. Bell to bell. I'll make it home by half time...

 

[billski]

calling for snow Sat night and Monday. NWS Tauton, MA also says for next week: "
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...
ANOTHER POSSIBLE STORM?"

I think I'll just move north, where they don't have so much snow

[Glenn]

NWS Albany says possible advisory snow for SoVT. But they're not 100% sure on how it tracks. Hopefully, they'll have a better idea by tomorrow AM.

This map just blows my mind. We only saw a few red dots last year in the northern reaches of VT and ME

I've never really been a fan of that NOAA map as it seems cartoony and the depth distribution doesn't make sence in a lot of cases. I much prefer this one but it can't be image linked into the forum. The distribution makes a lot more sence (e.g. you can specifically see the backbone of the Green mtns). NOHRSC Interactive Snowdepth Map
