This blizzard was rated as an RSI category 5 which puts in the upper echelon of all snowstorms in recent history as the 7th highest rated storm across the entire country. Furthermore, this was the first storm >20 since 2016 and the first for the Upper Midwest Region since 1991.

While the storm shifted a tad with the heaviest snowfall totals, the end result was widespread 36-50+" snowfall reports across the UP. It's hard to think of any other title than a historic blizzard for this storm in an area that is already used to a lot of snow.

Round Lake Michigan picking up 52" in this single storm is quite notable in context. Outside of the lake effect belts and the higher terrain of the West/Northeast very few places average >50" over the entire season(!)

These are some of the most absurd snowfall maps I've seen for a synoptic snowstorm. Explicit 2-3+" snowfall totals with the possibility for higher depending on where you get terrain + lake enhancement. The UP is in for a truly historic blizzard through early next week.

To put this into context, just a few weeks ago we had a blizzard off the east coast that had isolated 36"+ reports. This blizzard has the potential for entire counties to completely surpass that total over a much greater area with winds that will likely be even stronger.

Given contextual snowfall totals in the mid to upper 30s & this being an official measuring spot as opposed to COCORAH/COOP observer, there is a decent chance this new record would hold up against scrutiny and be officially recognized.

Providence is now at a whopping 37.9" and should it receive another 0.2" of snow from the current snowstorm (it's still snowing lightly), they will set a new the state snowfall record per NCEI. #RIwx

Non-Zero chance that Rhode Island breaks their all time snowfall record. 38” is their highest (Blizzard of 78) and so far we’ve seen reports closing in on 26” thus far. Another few hours of this monster snowfall band and some state records could be in danger of being toppled.

Absolutely wild to see a Civil Emergency Message on a warnings map for the Northeast.

Pretty cool that we had recon sample the "eye" of this blossoming Noreaster. While not as calm as the eye of a prototypical tropical cyclone, the surface was fairly calm with a slight wind shift from the SW to the S & ESE symbolizing the unstacked & sheared nature of the cyclone.

I’m not sure how one can adequately message these vastly different outcomes for a storm set to begin in under 36 hours. I do not envy being in the position of the NWS as they are damned if they do and damned if they dont. Yikes.

This is why meteorologists sometimes have a such a hard time forecasting because if the two leading models are near opposites to each other for a storm that is expected to hit in a mere 72 hours, what route/solution do you choose? The snow or no snow route?

Which model is right is TBD as as either model can cave to the either at any model init time. To me these are probably the tail end solutions and the right verification is the middle ground between these two models. A notable storm but the worst impacts off the coast.

From a meteorological standpoint, it's quite cool how these seemingly similar 500mb height maps in two days time lead to drastically different solutions for the upcoming storm off the east coast. The littlest changes in phasing/amplitude of the shortwaves lead to big differences.

Imagine if there’s two differing accounts between Ryan and the NWS and he assures them that they’re fine. Well the onus in the end if something does occur is on him then(?) Lots of potential issues beyond what he is already doing currently…

A sensationalist Media-rologist further decreasing society’s trust in the NWS whilst profiting off of taxpayer funded dollars leaves a sour taste in my mouth. There are many other better ways to support proper awareness for inclement weather - this is not it.
