TheSnowman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 EURO wins this storm Big Time. Had a 10-15 Storm 5 runs in a row or more. The NAM and GFS did it's cancel. And now, this will be in fact - a 10-15 Storm. Go EURO!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTNoreaster Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Ryan - It has been wild here...looking at the radar the last five hours there is going to be a huge difference between Darien and Westport. Just the way the bands set up! Just measured and made sure the amount did not include the old snow base... I guess we will wait and see the official report. Regardless its wild!!! Between 12 and 1am we had 4.5 inches in an hour!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Yeah it's definitely very healthy, he does have a great schedule and follows it quite well. Power outage FTL ...almost. It's SN+ here now. Temp is down to 31.6 even on my piece of crap, so it's 31 or lower. It's blowing all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 totals around philly generally 12-14 inches... most fell between 7pm-12am tonight... forecasts were generally underdone i think CT up into C-MA has a shot at similar ranges if not more given where the heaviest bands have set up interestingly, no widespread thunder/lightning reports from SNE yet as was the case further south I don't think it's that suprising.....everything was timed better for them.

eekuasepinniW Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 The New Hampton-Meredith-Center Harbor line up here has been getting plastered for the last 2 hrs. I'm on the southern edge of the band and getting great snow growth. Maybe the N winds are actually blowing some of that my way.Sanbornton is down to 3/10SM vis at the RWIS. It's been magnificent. The air has been thick with jumbo flakes calmly drifting down. Looks like it's starting to fall apart now, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sey-Mour Snow Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I find that number a little hard to buy. The DOT measurement in Daren at midnight was 7.5" an hour and a half since then probably 3-5" more .. everyone around SW CT is reporting 9-12" new on top of this mornings 2-5".. im closing in on 13" total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I don't think it's that suprising.....everything was timed better for them. Yes they had the best dynamics...we had them in the Jan 12 event...Miller B in the Jan 12 event...surprise surprise. We get the leftovers in a Miller A...but this one is doing very well. We wont jackpot but we should do well...that is all we ask for in these type of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpickett79 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 vis back down very low again...... the stuff by kev to sturbridge, ma is in another league ...he has prob had 7 inches in last 2. 5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTNoreaster Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I had 9 at 12, another poster had 10.5 at 12:30 in FFLD, we've been rocking 3-4" per hour...it's within the realm of possibility if just taken. I'm still destroying here a little more than my neighbors at the moment. It was taken a min before I posted. That was no joke. This banding is the most intensive rates I have ever seen.

JJBASHB Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 3.25" new and snowing nearly as hard as 1/12. The best part was going into the event expecting little more than a dusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 6.75" from the second part here, 9.75" total. Mod snow again. What are the definitions of mod vs heavy snow in terms of visibility and approximately what kind of rates would each entail? 1/2 mod 1/4 heavy 1/8 SN++ right now my vis is under 100 feet at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Closing off at H5 it's been closed off for awhile...pretty obvious on the WV. I don't know why the RUC/SPC mesoanalysis is so off sometimes. What am I supposed to believe, the wind or the heights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 1/2 mod 1/4 heavy 1/8 SN++ right now my vis is under 100 feet at times you made the bolded up 6.75" from the second part here, 9.75" total. Mod snow again. What are the definitions of mod vs heavy snow in terms of visibility and approximately what kind of rates would each entail? Mod is <=1/2SM and > 1/4SMHeavy is <= 1/4SM Estimating intensity based on accums is trickier as it tends to depend on snow growth. I'd say with 10:1 snows 1"+/hr is +SN and 0.5-1"/hr is moderate. I have a couple of road stations nearby that report vis so I tend to take an average of the two and compare to radar to estimate my vis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Told you you'd be SNE jackpot you SOB. I think east of me gets better...but yeah, I'm hammering away right now like no other place except north of me in Holden and Princeton. Deep down I was kind of hoping for a Dec 92 where it was only elevations back on the progs by the Euro when it was marginal snow for SNE and everyone was worried about sleet and rain. But we said back then it might go cooler and it did. I havent been a jackpot since Mar 1, 2008 (remember the busted clipper where Drag said NW RI would get in on CF banding?)...the banding ended up over my house. I'm hoping this band rots over me and then I can claim a jackpot again, but I think places SW of me have already had the better of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
