Does wiz post snow obs anymore or is he viewing 900hr CFS CAPE charts?

That's just subby out west in the valley. Just a lull between forcing in the east....it'll all slowly migrate north.

A GC pube or an urban pube?

Congress just passed 15" minimum snow

Methuen will catch up quickly.

Still some lower level lift below the slot. This wv level is more in the 500-750 layer.

Dryslot going through CT now...precip is getting showery. Looks like those heavier showers from LI are hitting a melting layer.

25.9° SN/+SN

First flakes 27°

Stein! That will be me later

We need to get him a better light. Looks like a little bit of drizzle.

Nice...what’s that chart from?

Also I think you need 4 hourly obs to get the 3 hours inclusive...not sure. BDR is manned today too, but I’m not sure if they augment vis obs. Maybe @OceanStWx knows how GYX goes about verifying it.

Criteria has always been under 1/4SM. But with automated ASOS sites without augmentation it’s damn near impossible to get obs of M1/4SM. A lot of the old manned 0SM, 1/16SM, and 1/8SM obs are seen as 1/4SM by the ASOS now.

Depends if they’re counting 1/4SM as blizz criteria now.

You’re not missing anything...run of the mill. So I’m cheering on a bust on the low side.

Looks like that’s on the nose of the dryslot. May get a little unstable there.

Yeah...just nw of there. Will be interesting to see the final totals and how the warm layer affects the ratios.

Death pings

Dual pol has a melting layer in there?

Actual ice pellets? My guess is some convectively rimed flakes in that band.

The CMC suite has been pretty consistent with that and it’s interesting how some of the other models try to regenerate the low down there now. I guess we’ll see, but you have to think the canadians are overdoing it.

You’re not in that 1” QPF zone...it’s MHT south. Some of the models are giving us under 0.50” QPF. Firehose is a bad term to use with this...it hasn’t really looked like that for awhile. We have a quick moving arc of fronto moving through that gives us some snow and that’s about it. There may be some coastal front goodies near the coast, but up here the low level flow is more NE which is downsloping for us. The more E flow is in the mid levels. Sometimes the snow hole gets overdone by the models, but it’ll be there to some extent. Just pray to the RGEM.
