March 1-4, 2022 | Double Clippahs

Looking at the next possible systems to move through.  Out appears we may have a couple systems in close succession, just a couple days separating the two.  As currently modeled, these aren't looking like anything huge, but clipper #2 does seem to show a bit more promise.  

26/12z GFS for illustration

The flow is still zipping right along, so any amplification will be difficult to achieve.  In the event that system #2 shows more promise, we can split that into our own thread, and this can be for the more near term clipper.

OK - maybe

Pathetically, the 4+", verbatim, would be close to my region's top snow event of the entire season.

Good agreement between NAM, GFS, and CMC on clipper #1. Euro and UKie on the other hand seem to say it's pretty much a non-event.

Would make for good skiing next weekend....

A surprise 5" from the mid Jan clipper here rivals the weekend before it when we had that snow to slop event that tracked right up 15. I miss decent clippers. Seems like a rarity.

The 2nd clipper, tracking the energy, or part of it, back to current time, is swirling up at Santa's workshop.

[JDClapper]

Cmc and Gfs, both clips.

18z GFS

Not sure if it got sampled, but clipper 1 looking stronger on the NAM at hr 30

 

[MaineJay]

Looking like it'll be 4-5 hours quicker that it's previous run.

Hope we get something out if this.

This would be  nice for the mid Atlantic  but it too will change.

Talk about your odd precipitation fields.

When will the northward trend begin? 😆 

[telejunkie]

12z RGEM says it could be a big week....NAM much less excited....

[LUCC]

Looks like remaining winter weather will be for anyone north of the PA/NY border. 

[MaineJay]

Pretty neat how clipper 1 actually taps a little moisture from the ocean storm wayyy to the south. 

Nothing huge here, but some nice mood flakes, maybe a bit more. 

[MaineJay]

28° with flurries in Raymond.

On and off snow/Graupel at Okemo most of the day.  On and off on the trip from Ludlow to Bennington. Enjoying an early dinner and brew at Madison. Strange being here during the day. 

[StretchCT]

Started as graupel and 35F in Ludlow, stayed that way through Manchester and into Bennington.  Left Bennington around 530-6, still light out, headed south down 7 into Mass when the temp dropped and these big flakes started falling. Hit Pittsfield and the temp was 32 and snowing pretty good.  Got down to Lee, still snowing, kinda growing tired of it.  Side streets covered, main road wet.  Temp 31.  All the way down route 8 it snowed.  Hit the CT line and it magically bumped to 33 and wet flakes, then quickly to rain.  Got as high as 38 in Waterbury before going back to 35 in Newtown. Have .11" in the bucket from it.  

[MaineJay]

1.5" overnight, melting pretty quick now.

[StretchCT]

32 degrees, dp 28 with rain forecast.

[MaineJay]

A solid 3" of super fluffy snow in Raymond.

[StretchCT]

Got 0.03" of rain here, though it may have snowed a bit too.  The temps stayed around freezing most of the night.
