The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
A clipper low moved across southern Quebec on February 7. This was followed by low pressure moving east from the Great Lakes on February 8. On February 9 & 10, low pressure moved off the mid-Atlantic coast becoming a noreaster as it approached southern New England. This all resulted in a long duration snow storm that dumped up to a foot and a half of snow across southern New England.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Boston/Norton, MA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Feb 8, 4:33 AM EST, 27 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
433 AM EST SUN FEB 8 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
A LONG DURATION WINTER STORM WITH HEAVY SNOWFALL AND GUSTY NORTHEAST
WINDS WILL IMPACT THE REGION TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT BEFORE TAPERING
OFF TUESDAY MORNING. DRY WEATHER LATER TUE INTO WED FOLLOWED BY YET
ANOTHER POTENTIAL WINTER STORM AROUND THU. OF GREATER CERTAINTY IS
THE LIKELIHOOD OF NEAR RECORD COLD LATE NEXT WEEK AND WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
*** MODEST SNOW ACCUMULATIONS EARLY THIS MORNING ***
TODAY...
THE FIRST ROUND OF OVERRUNNING PRECIP BEGINNING TO EXIT WESTERN
NEW ENGLAND AT 430 AM. GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT THAT THIS FIRST WAVE
OF PRECIP TAPERS OFF EARLY THIS MORNING WITH A LULL INTO EARLY
AFTERNOON AS SOME MID LEVEL DRY AIR OVERSPREADS THE REGION. SNOW
TOTALS BY MID MORNING WILL AVERAGE 2-4" WITH 1-3" ACROSS
CT...SOUTHERN RI AND MA. WHILE SNOW MAY NOT COMPLETELY COME TO AN
LATER THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON...SNOW INTENSITY WILL BE
MUCH LESS WITH JUST FLURRIES OR PERIODIC LIGHT SNOW. STEADIER SNOW
THEN REDEVELOPS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS NEXT SURGE OF WARM AIR
ADVECTION OVERSPREADS THE REGION.
AS ARCTIC HIGH PRES SLIDES SOUTHEAST FROM ONTARIO INTO QUEBEC
TODAY...ALONG WITH WEAK WAVE OF LOW PRES TRACKING SOUTH OF NEW
ENGLAND...SHALLOW COLD AIR WILL BEGIN TO BLEED SOUTHWARD INTO THE
REGION. THIS WILL RESULT IN A WELL DEFINED COASTAL FRONT TO DEVELOP
OVER EASTERN MA...SOMEWHERE IN THE I495 TO ROUTE 128 CORRIDOR OF
NORTHEAST MA. THIS COMBINED WITH DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL NE JET/COLD
CONVEYOR BELT MAY PROVIDE SOME ENHANCEMENT TO THE SNOWFALL LATER
TODAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
*** MAJOR WINTER STORM IMPACTS THE REGION WITH HEAVY SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS ALONG WITH BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW ***
1) SNOW TOTALS...
GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT AMONG THE GLOBAL AND HIGH RES MODELS THIS
PERIOD WITH CLASSIC SYNOPTIC SETUP FOR HEAVY SNOW HERE WITH ARCTIC
HIGH PRES OVER EASTERN QUEBEC AND MODEST FRONTAL WAVES TRACKING
ALONG OR JUST SOUTH OF 40N. WITHIN THIS SETUP IS A ROBUST AND LONG
DURATION ONSHORE LOW LEVEL JET/MOIST COLD CONVEYOR BELT /CCB/ WHICH
WILL TRANSPORT COPIOUS MOISTURE INTO THE COLD AIRMASS OVER SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND. THIS STRONG AND MOIST LOW LEVEL JET/CCB WILL ENHANCE
SNOWFALL RATES VIA FGEN ON THE NOSE OF THE JET ALONG WITH AN UPSLOPE
COMPONENT ACROSS THE WORCESTER HILLS AND EAST SLOPES OF THE
BERKSHIRES. CONVERSELY THIS WILL RESULT IN A BIT OF A SHADOWING
EFFECT ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE WORCESTER HILLS INTO THE CT RVR VLY
IN RESPONSE TO DOWNSLOPING WIND COMPONENT. FURTHERMORE...STRONG
COASTAL FRONT AND ITS ASSOCIATED FRONTAL CIRCULATION WILL ENHANCE
SNOWFALL RATES ACROSS NORTHEAST MA AND POSSIBLY INTO NORTHERN RI.
NOW THAT THE GFS IS DOWN TO 13KM RESOLUTION WE ARE ABLE TO SEE SOME
OF THESE DETAILS WITH THE GFS PRECIP MAX IN NORTHEAST MA WITH QPF UP
TO 1.65 INCHES STORM TOTAL. GFS HAS A SECONDARY MAX OF 1.5 ON THE
EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKS. NAM A BIT HIGHER WITH JUST OVER 2" IN
NORTHEAST MA. LIKEWISE FOR THE HI RES ARW AND NMM WITH JUST OVER 2"
QPF ACROSS NORTHEAST MA AND SECONDARY MAXES IN WORCESTER HILLS...
EAST SLOPES OF BERKS AND A MINIMUM OF 0.50 TO 0.75 IN BETWEEN.
NOW THAT THE HI RES AND GLOBAL MODELS /GFS/ ARE PICKING UP ON THESE
MESOSCALE EFFECTS WE HAVE INCREASING CONFIDENCE FOR HIGHER SNOWFALL
WITH A FEW AREAS /AS MENTIONED ABOVE/ RECEIVING 18-24" OF SNOWFALL
BY 12Z TUE! OTHER STORM ATTRIBUTES INCLUDE GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS
FROM THIS LOW LEVEL JET WITH WINDS OF 30-40 MPH ACROSS EASTERN MA
AND INTO RI. THIS WILL RESULT IN CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING
SNOW YIELDING NEAR WHITE-OUT CONDITIONS AT TIMES.
2) PTYPE...
MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE LEADING OF A MID LEVEL WARM NOSE
ADVECTING INTO THE SOUTH COAST OF MA AND RI. MEANWHILE SHALLOW COLD
AIR WILL BE ADVECTING SOUTHWARD DOWN THE COASTAL PLAIN. MODEL
SOUNDINGS SHOW A STRONG SLEET/ICE PELLET SIGNATURE ALONG THE SOUTH
COAST INCLUDING SOUTHEAST MA. SOME WHILE THERE COULD BE SOME
FREEZING RAIN HERE SLEET APPEARS THE MAIN PTYPE AT TIMES ALONG WITH
SNOW. THE COASTAL FRONT WILL HAVE AN IMPACT HERE AS ENOUGH BOUNDARY
LAYER WARMING ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE OF THE COASTAL FRONT MAY YIELD
RAIN FOR CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS.
3) WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES...
WINTER STORM WARNING REMAIN IN EFFECT. WE CONVERTED THE WATCH TO A
WARNING WITH THE EXPECTATION OF 4-8" OF SNOW AND SLEET ACROSS
SOUTHERN RI INTO SOUTH COASTAL MA TO THE CAPE COD CANAL. FOR CAPE
COD WILL ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SEVERAL INCHES OF
SNOW/SLEET. RAIN WILL MIX IN AT TIMES ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE OUTER
CAPE. THUS MORE SNOW AND SLEET FOR THE UPPER CAPE. AS MENTIONED
ABOVE SOUNDINGS SUGGEST ENOUGH RAIN MIXING IN ACROSS THE ISLANDS FOR
NO HEADLINES.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGHLIGHTS...
* ANOTHER WINTER STORM POSSIBLE THURSDAY/FRIDAY???
* NEAR RECORD COLD POSSIBLE LATE NEXT WEEK
ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN SHOWS NO SIGNS OF LETTING UP. MEDIUM RANGE
MODELS SOW POTENTIAL FOR YET ANOTHER WINTER STORM THU/FRI AS 500 MB
SHORT WAVE CLOSES OFF NEAR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
00Z GFS AND ECMWF/UKMET ARE IN TIMING...WITH GFS FASTER TO CLOSE
SYSTEM OFF S OF REGION WHICH RESULTS IN MORE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT THAN
00Z ECMWF/UKMET WHICH CLOSE IT OFF TO OUR E OVER GULF OD MAINE. FOR
NOW WE ARE UTILIZING MODEL BLEND WHICH BRINGS AT LEAST FEW INCHES OF
SNOW. WOULD LIKE TO SAY THIS SYSTEM WILL PASS HARMLESSLY OUT TO SEA
BUT WE ALL KNOW THE TRENDS OF PAST FEW WEEKS.
SYSTEM ALSO DELAYS ONSET OF ARCTIC BLAST...NOW LOOKING MORE LIKELY
FRI INTO SAT. STILL LOOKS LIKE COLDEST TEMPERATURES WE HAVE SEEN IN
SOME TIME AS HIGHS MAY NOT GET OUT OF SINGLE NUMBERS/TEENS AND
OVERNIGHT LOWS DROP WELL BELOW ZERO ACROSS MUCH OF INTERIOR.
&&
.AVIATION /10Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FORECASTER CONFIDENCE LEVELS...
LOW...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.
MODERATE...30 TO 60 PERCENT.
HIGH...GREATER THAN 60 PERCENT.
NEAR-TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
THRU 12Z...TRENDS WILL BE TOWARD MVFR IN MAINLY LIGHT SNOW. WINDS
FAIRLY LIGHT. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS BY 12Z 1-3" WITH HIGHEST AMOUNTS
ACROSS NORTHERN MA INTO BOSTON AREA.
AFTER 12Z...MVFR TRENDING TOWARD IFR. SNOW...MAINLY LIGHT WILL
TAPER OFF TO FLURRIES LATE THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON.
THEN SNOW WILL REDEVELOP LATE IN THE DAY. NEW SNOWFALL FROM 12Z-
00Z APPROXIMATELY 2-4". NE WINDS WILL INCREASE SLOWLY THRU THE
DAY.
SUNDAY NIGHT THRU MON NIGHT...IFR WITH LIFR AT TIMES IN A STEADY
SNOW...MODERATE TO HEAVY AT TIMES. NE WINDS INCREASE TO G25-30KT.
THIS WILL RESULT IN CONSIDERABLY BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. NEW
SNOWFALL FROM 00Z MON THRU 12Z TUE 8-15"...2-5" FOR SOUTH COASTAL
MA AND RI.
KBOS TERMINAL...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF. STEADY SNOW
TAPERS OFF LATE THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON...THEN REDEVELOPS
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO MON NIGHT BEFORE ENDING
SOMETIME TUE AM. STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL 18-24".
KBDL TERMINAL...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF. PERIODS OF LIGHT
SNOW TAPER OFF LATER THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON...BUT THEN
REDEVELOP LATER TODAY WITH A STEADY SNOW TONIGHT/MON AND MON
NIGHT. STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL 10-14" WITH LOW RISK OF UP TO 18".
OUTLOOK...TUESDAY AND THURSDAY...
TUESDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE. IFR/MVFR IN SNOW EARLY...ESPECIALLY
NEAR COAST. N WINDS GUSTING TO 25-35KT.
WEDNESDAY...HIGH CONFIDENCE. VFR EXPECTED AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES
IN FROM THE NW.

TODAY...
MODEST NE WINDS THIS MORNING BUT INCREASING THIS AFTERNOON TO 20-30
KT WITH HIGHEST SPEEDS ACROSS THE NORTHERN MA WATERS VICINITY OF
CAPE ANN. THUS SEAS WILL BUILD THIS AFTERNOON. SNOW REDUCES VSBY
EARLY THIS MORNING AND AGAIN LATE TODAY.
TONIGHT/MON/MON NIGHT...
NE GALES DEVELOP WITH STRONGEST WINDS EASTERN MA WATERS. HENCE GALE
WARNINGS REMAIN POSTED. MORE MARGINAL RI WATERS AND SOUTHERN MA
WATERS. THUS GALE WATCH POSTED THERE. VSBY LESS THAN 1 MILE IN
MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW NORTHERN MA WATERS...SLEET/SNOW AND RAIN
ELSEWHERE. SEAS BUILD TO 15-20 FT BY MON NIGHT ACROSS THE EASTERN MA
WATERS.
OUTLOOK...TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MODERATE CONFIDENCE.
GALES SLOWLY EASE TUE AS LOW PRESSURE HEADS FARTHER OUT TO SEA AND
SHOULD FALL BELOW SCA EARLY WED...THOUGH SEAS WILL TAKE LONGER TO
SUBSIDE.
YET ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MAY AFFECT WATERS THU WITH POTENTIAL
FOR N/NE GALES.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDES ARE ASTRONOMICALLY LOW WITH BOSTON AROUND 9.1 FT MON
AFTERNOON AND 9.3 FT MON NIGHT. THUS WOULD NEED ABOUT A 3 FT STORM
SURGE TO INDUCE COASTAL FLOODING.
DESPITE PROLONGED ONSHORE FLOW WIND SPEEDS PEAK AROUND 40 KT MON/MON
NIGHT. THIS COMBINED WITH ONLY MODEST PRESSURE FALLS WILL LIKELY
ONLY YIELD A STORM SURGE OF 1.5 FT. IF SURGE VALUES CAN CLIMB TO
ABOUT 3 FT AND SEAS OFFSHORE GROW TO 20 FT THERE COULD BE AREAS OF
MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE EASTERN MA SHORELINE. HOWEVER AT
THIS TIME IT APPEAR UNLIKELY AND ONLY A VERY LOW RISK. THUS NO
COASTAL FLOOD HEADLINES ISSUED AT THIS TIME. IF FLOODING WERE TO
COMMENCE THE AREA OF GREATEST CONCERN WOULD BE FROM
HULL/SCITUATE/MARSHFIELD/DUXBURY/PLYMOUTH TO SANDWICH HARBOR.
