dendrite Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Just as a random aside....I hate stations that report heavy snow with 1/2 mile viis and mod snow with 3/4 or 1 mile vis lol...who did that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTWeatherFreak Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 i'll be ripping pissed in West Hartford if we don't go to snow soon! Nice dendrites have taken over, blowing sideways. Im only about 2.5 miles south of west hartford center, so I would think youd be getting into it momentarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesun Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Paul, It's coming down like crazy now, I'm over an inch and prob in 1"/hr band now Ryan, Do you think BDL has had 0.4'' by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 They probably have 2.4'' with the way they slantstick. I actually think from what I've been told it's an ASOS station that does the reporting, they don't actually measure all the time. probably YAY!!!!!!!

OKpowdah Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Yeah I've noticed the EEN AWOS vis won't make a decent drop until there's some solid sized dendrites coming down. As it is, snow growth is pretty poor right now, but definitely falling at a moderate clip, with about 0.4" on the ground now. I'm not really excited for Keene. Might tack on another inch, but not expecting more than 3" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomNH Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Not as bad as posters who post heavy snow or "ripping" with 3/4 SM visibility Ripping is a relative term and depends on the poster. For Kevin, ripping is .5''/hr snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sankaty Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Mix of sn- and zr- here. In a bit of the precip hole in general on the radar. Expect that will end soon. Had a period of IP for a few minutes around 9PM, but that has ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Yeah this looks like one heck of a 6 hour snow bomb for you. I think mentioned it earlier -- as the convective elements nearing LI interact with the ML frontogenesis, it'll really go to town for a few hours. 2-3in/hr thundersnow for sure. It's speed through the region will prevent widespread 12+, but I could see lollis of 12-15" God damn that kicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Not as bad as posters who post heavy snow or "ripping" with 3/4 SM visibility We have a streetlight about 500' from the head of the driveway and to me it's not SN+ until it is dim or obscured. Only twice so far this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Did Kevin actually go to bed for the night or did he say he was just getting a couple hours? He might be about to go through a 12/9/05 type period over the next 3-4 hours. Bad time for sleeping if you are a snow weenie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattlacroix4 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 That graphic is used only when there is some sort of advisory. I'd think they could update their grids to a couple inches for you and I, maybe even a third for PWM. Of course, I'm a weenie and they're pros. We'll see how it shakes out. Radar looks better than I was expecting, though. Wow, will be fun to see what happens overnight into tomorrow. I bet I get at least 2-4. Heck, if the NAM verified, places in SE NH could see over 8.

dendrite Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 SE PA Looks like it's MQS with the 1/2SM +SN...that AWOS has been a mess tonight. Garbage.PHL has the 1/4SM SN. It's possible there could be some fog/mist that is reducing vis along with the snow. They may have augmented the ob if the snow wasn't accounting for the 1/4SM alone.
