Yeah...the observer went a little weenieish there. Like you said, SQ has a specific definition. I’ve seen it reported automated in New England, but it’s rare...a lot more common to our west with severe weather.
There’s something else going on down there. It’s been mostly sunny in CT and SE NH most of the day with a stripe of clouds from SW NH toward BOS. Maybe a bit more convergence in that region? Haven’t really looked at anything besides vis.
Or borrow Ginxy’s dogs and let the doo absorb all of that radiation and melt holes right through the pack. It must look like Swiss cheese this time of year.
I thought growth looked pretty good up here despite the lack of liquid. Most of the weak omega from the bands was in the DGZ. The WAA snows in SNE looked more below the DGZ.
Deep winter's back is broken. I haven't hit 40F here since 1/16 and it looks like those chances will creep up this week. Then maybe some warmer days to start March. Yeah...it'll snow again. Yeah, it'll get cold again. But the coldest of the cold looks to be behind us. It's like when you get that 1st cold front in late August that breaks the string of 3 weeks of lows in the 60s to near 70F and the outlook shows multiple fronts and sfc highs going into Sep.
