New Ipswich RWIS is getting ripped. Looks like the ultrasonic anny has been caking up. https://vortex.plymouth.edu/mapwall/cgi-bin/display_rwis.php?id=11584
Haven’t looked at a lot yet, but some models really pork your area. 3k is toward noon and HRRR is very late afternoon. That remnant low from the inv trough just kinda sits over you.
So the bottom of the snow (mixing) level is collapsing toward BOX on the NW side, but it’s still around 800ft up toward ORH. The top of the mixing layer is around 2kft near ORH, 3kft by Ray, and 5kft by Tolland.
But of course the beam increases with height. So in this 0.5° angle, in S CT the snow is mixing in down to about 2kft and in N CT the warm layer is up to about 5kft.
I’ll add that some of the ptype/reflectivity products from the models account for that. Where it expects wet snow it will simulate much higher reflectivities.
