nofoboater wrote:What's up sroc? You're not too far from me, what did you end up getting from this last storm? I had a hell of a time measuring, so much wind. Sorry if you posted your totals earlier, didn't see any on a quick glance. Anyway I measured around 13" but the local paper reported 11" in some spots and 9 in others.

I only ended with 9.1". I agree it was a bit tough with drifts and what not.

GFS still continues the theme of atleast an inch or two for the area Saturday to freshen up the snow pack.

Frank what are the models saying about Sunday night storm?

Just updated in long range thread

Recent Upton HWD:

DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

A QUICK MOVING FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BRING POTENTIAL FOR A BRIEF
PERIOD OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW DURING THE SATURDAY MORNING TO
SATURDAY EVENING TIME FRAME. ALTHOUGH TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT...THE FROZEN GROUND AND MODERATELY STRONG
WINDS COULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED VISIBILITIES AND
HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS.

SUB ZERO WINDCHILLS ARE EXPECTED ONCE AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY MORNING.

Frank: I have to build a snowpack before I can freshen it up. I'll take anything I can get Saturday.

CP, seems like your area has been jipped so far but plenty of time to go, don't worry I remember many times when I got jipped. I remember one such time ( forget year 90's sometime) They were calling for a major snowstorm I think it was at least a foot. I stayed up very late waiting for it assuming i'd have no school but I passed out before it started, I woke up to excitedly open the blinds and what?! Not even a flake nothing nada, it had gone out to sea and missed us completely. Hoping you get yours and I think you will before the season is out. Nothing worse than brutal cold with no snow.

Also CP I just noticed your totals, not that much less than mine, about 5-6 inches apart.

Jman. Yeah I really got screwed on the last storm only getting two inches when everyone else was hitting the jackpot. Hey it happens sometimes. Usually being where I am I do pretty well it being colder and all but like you say we all miss out at some point. Rarely does everyone on our board which covers about a 75 mile radius of NYC make out. There's always someone crying the blues, this time it was me.

CP last year when my parents in the New Haven area got 35 inches of snow and I got 12 I was so pissed, lol 35 inches would shut us down for a while. New Haven was immobilized, my parents were trapped in their house in a coastal country town Guiilford if you know it. The first plow coming through couldn't push through the snow, the second one got stuck too. They were stuck in their trucks for half a day my dad said before a heavy duty loader came to dig them out. My dad showed me pics I was so jealous as I have never and may never see that much snow out of one storm.

We are going with this.

Duh why didn't I think of that Frankzilla, sounds good. LOL

I expect an image of Godzilla with your head perfectly photoshopped on top for the storm mode banner. In fact if anyone knows how to do that and would like to post it........

Yeah, but Frank will never be able to go to Japan after that,LOL!

Just call it A-Rod.

Don't feel bad Cp I only got 1 1/4 inches from the last storm. My saving grace was on Saturday the 18th I got 4.75 inches from the little LP that went through. So at least I have about 5.5 inches on the ground now. I'm hoping that you guys are right about getting some snow in our areas in the future. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

Oh Yea!! Frankzilla A old- fashion Nor'easter that comes up from N.C drops 2' then stalls off Montauk

Any maps on saturday worth showing yet Frank? I hear it could be a little more than a few inches POSSIBLY. And what are your thoughts on Monday? Seems again main media outlets calling for a track through new england nowhere near the coast, but did mention that was a possibility. Man theres so much to watch right now its def not boring.

Ahh I see your scroll 1-4, sounds good nothing to big but a nice add on to possibly put me near a foot (if I get closer to 3-4) since the snow has settled a bit since Tuesdays storm from 10.5.

Upton's take on Saturday's Clipper

Upton just posted 48 hr snowfall.

Is this about right or on the low side?

Jman,

IMO looks about right - you never know with these squall lines. It maybe more west of us here due to teh fact it wil llose moisture as it roll salong - nothingto really feed these moisture wise.
Then again nowcasting will tell like last Saturday when I got 1.5" with graupel!
