dendrite

I’d like to see our Feb 43 cold outbreak modeled.

That 1950 storm looks unlike anything I’ve seen before. What a wild system

We need more of these from old systems.

Omg

Yeah it’s trying to accumulate at 33-34°…pass me the kuchie

Ditch the 10:1s

Power cutter 5000?

Yeah I could see advisory type numbers. It gets iffy here around midnight Tue night. This is the goofus for here...

It's going to be a slopfest by the time I wake up at 5am...not looking forward to it.

ineedclowns keeps posting all of these runs that "look nice" and then I look and they're all meh to me.

I think I'd lop a few off those clowns. There's a couple hours there that look like rain on the soundings and the ptype maps are showing snow/mix.

I stole your snow. But honestly that forecast wasn’t too bad. If you looked at the point forecasts that 12-18” was more like 13”. And your depth of 9” is probably more like 10-11” if you cleared every 6hrs. But there were many locations up here and in S NH over a foot.

Yeah we’ll probably have a dense 6-8” remaining after the cutter pulls out. After it freezes back up it’s probably going to be with us until March.

Nice little local jack here in the Lakes Region. My max depth was 13” and storm total 14.6” so if the cocorahs guys are measuring every 24hrs then the numbers all check out.

Yeah…especially up our way where we’ll CAD for a bit. All of that melting snow latently cools at the surface so there’s a lot that’s going against big wind up here. Downslope areas will be favored. DIT should do better as well since the S flow has no problem ripping through there. I’m not even trolling either. lol

Sumpim to sumpin

Okay I lied about being done. Still snowing and another 1/4” down since I started snow blowing. 14.5”

It’s still snowing lightly, but I’m done measuring. Last core was 8hrs old, but it was still 4.2”/0.23” of fluff. 14.3” total

1-3” of snow and then 1-3” of rain

14.2”

It just won’t stop. Big dendritic fatties right now. IMG_5902.mov

Back dat azz up

13.5” Just -SN but there’s some huge dendritic aggregates falling. The kind where there’s like 5 feathery dendrites clung together as they land. It’s making the top of the pack glisten with clumpiness.
