Ginx snewx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 NAM wants to paint peel many just south of the Pike tomorrow.

snowwoman Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Transition complete ZR/IP/and a few needles thrown in for good measure 21 good luck to those up north, impressive warmth in the mid layers UGH Already!? I was just looking at the radar and noticed the oranges a few minutes ago and was hoping that was just crazy snow....Winds started to pick up here and flakes have gotten larger. WE are only at 19 degrees.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 back to snow again now. Temp is only 24.8. Intensity driven, the lighter stuff went to graupel and what appeared to almost be a freezing drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Gotta love that nice blob of S/S+ held back into NY that will crush us as we get into the afternoon. Yeah I thought that was interesting too. looks like a tail or maybe deformation? it almost looks like there is a mid level low pulling up a dry slot?

MarkO Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Consensus rapidly pointing to 1.5'' or so here. Yeah, just noticed I'm about 1.75", if we stay all snow....

weatherMA Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 If you go on weatherbug and click on the warning it has me at 6-14". I just went on TWC, weather.com, clicked on the warning, and it had me at 12-20". Wtf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Better than ice Scott, messenger went through a grauple stage here a while ago, bake to good flakes pretty quickly Thing is though even the warmer than warm RUC wouldn't have had the change as far north as it is already. We'll see how it plays out but this has been the case most of the winter for whatever reason...the RUC leads the way on the warmth, meso and globals are behind the times and too cold.

moneypitmike Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hmmm, Mike it seems to be ripping SN+ everywhere in Ma. except Franklin Co. Nice steady SN here but nothing outrageous. We've been heavy here, Chris for a while. Are you getting shadowed a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambone Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 My town has an early dismissal half day for all kids nothing like letting them out at the height of the storm#1 11am-12pm. Asinine decision IMO. Here as well. I'm at my office in Medway, and the roads are awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman21 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Transition complete ZR/IP/and a few needles thrown in for good measure 21 good luck to those up north, impressive warmth in the mid layers Same here in Greenwich. Mostly sleet with a few flakes mixing in every now and again. Looks like an inch or so of snow will do it for us today. Those 45-50 dBZ echoes are all sleet. Guess it was a good idea to have schools open after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomNH Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yeah, just noticed I'm about 1.75", if we stay all snow.... I think you will Dom, but I'm not thinking I will. How far north of the MA boarder are you? 4-5 miles maybe? If we ping, which I doubt we will, it'll be at the tail end as this is shutting off, so I'm not worried about a thing.

Asinine decision IMO. Agreed. I think the superintendents are feeling some pressure to limit snow days... My ride back home will be fun. Can I use the bathroom at your house when I slog through Westminster up Rte 2? Our busses will be here starting at 10:30 if they can make it up the hill. Looks like 3" on the ground already (checked from a coworker's window) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 That's unbelievable to me as I grew up in Portland and owned a house there until 2006. For what I was paying in taxes compared to what the town offers, for them not to have the ability to stay on top of this is pretty silly. In Colchester now, I'm STILL paying $1500 less in taxes then I was before I moved; and the taxes on the house I sold almost doubled the year after I sold it. This is OT but a town that averages 35" of snow a year is probably going to be poorly equipped to move 65" that falls in one month. That's just a fact. I'm not sure why people are so frustrated by it. This is what happens when there's a record amount of snow depth after a record snowy month.

Why you think you have crappy ratios? just now starting to get better snow growth, as some better echoes move overhead. How is your snowgrowth?

You are 100% correct, No town is going to make the investment in equipment for those sesonal totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the towns have unrealistic snow budgets. I know this is an unusual year and the state of the economy certainly doesn't help, but some of the smaller towns in the state need to get with the times.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 looks like I'm on par with the other shoreline dwellers...pinging started around 7:30 after about 0.5" of snow. Had flakes mixed for awhile, but pretty much all sleet here for the past 30 min. Sounds like fzra already working its way into SW CT? Just what I wanted to avoid...could care less about the sleet, would prefer to avoid significant icing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
