wiley1 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Agree, especially considering how easily the mid-level warming has advanced north this afternoon. Traffic cams in Kent County are now covered in ice, must be zr there now. Freezing rain here confirmed with sleet mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yeah it looks correct...it might briefly go north of the pike if we had 3 hourly panels between 18z and 00z...but it stays south on the 6 hourly panels...the sleet line probably intrudes a bit north of that though...however, most of the qpf has probably already fallen in that type of scenario. Probably like a 6-9" thump then maybe brief pinging and a dry slot. Then an inch or two of fluff tomorrow night. Is the 1-3 tomorrow night for all of SNE?

H2Otown_WX Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Just make sure to have what you need if you lose power, lol. Flash lights, wood for a fire or woodstove (if you have one)...the house will get very cold very quickly if you lose power and heat. Hopefully you keep power though. At least it looks like qpf shouldn't be too much over an inch...so while it could get really bad, hopefully its not a total catastrophe. Does the Waterbury area look like just IP Will?

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Euro colder for the weekend. Are we talking ct blizz type cold or ct rain type cold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably like a 6-9" thump then maybe brief pinging and a dry slot. Then an inch or two of fluff tomorrow night. The GFS and NAM seemed to want to introduce a period of plain rain for a short but potent period... I'm really hoping that crap doesn't happen but I'm not entirely sure it won't.

ORH_wxman Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Is the 1-3 tomorrow night for all of SNE? Verbatim its favored N of the pike and esp into CNE...but models wont handle it well. They usually handle those leftover things poorly. There is good RH over most of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'm just hoping to stay frozen... does Jerry's assessment of the Euro - 0 degree line stays juuust south of pike -- match yours? I'm still thinking we could get a good thump of snow before any taint. Granted it's one model, but I feel better that the euro held firm. That layer near 800mb is what scares me, but I think we'll see a good deal of it as snow before a flip. Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Correction, sorry, I think you're good for 8-12" tomorrow Thanks. I'll take corrections upward anytime - lol. You in Keene tomorrow? You'll be over a foot easy. Just switched back to SN from SN- here with big flakes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 AWANT AS We AND Noyes Thought 40-45" snowpack FTW. Im back up around 30" after today, at least mid 30s after tommorows snow and compaction...I hope at least lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Are we talking ct blizz type cold or ct rain type cold? It looks like a legit interior snowstorm on the Euro...probably N&W of 495. Maybe closer to the coast its snow quickly to rain then back to snow at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 It looks like a legit interior snowstorm on the Euro...probably N&W of 495. Maybe closer to the coast its snow quickly to rain then back to snow at the end. I don't know if I'd call it a snowstorm. QPF is pretty light... generally under 0.5" most places.

CoastalWx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Are we talking ct blizz type cold or ct rain type cold? Maybe snow to a mix of rain or rain for BOS, but snow just north and west. Big move to the gfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ma blizzard Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Paul in Milford was telling me about the Feb. 13, 2007 event which gave him 3.8" of sleet with like 1.75" of liquid equivalent...it was just slightly above 2:1 lol. I'm concerned it could really be sleet like that for hours here...ugh. I had about 4 inches of sleet during that event .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 wow...SFZ gets up to near 5C in the 800-850mb layer on the NAM at 30 and 33 hours. The NAM has 33-34F surface temperatures verbatim but I'd have to think the temperature doesn't nudge above freezing there given the strong northerly drain from the high.

ORH_wxman Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I had about 4 inches of sleet during that event .. That was the storm where I was mixing back in huge snowflakes all afternoon like 5-6 mi NW of you on winter hill and ended up with nearly 8" while you were ripping pure sleet the whole time. I remember linking you to webcams downtown and you couldn't believe it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbutts Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 So can you give me any tips on how to deal with an epic storm from first hand experience? Not good at all! If the ice buildup starts to get significant, I'd suggest cranking up the heat in your house so it will stay warm a bit longer after the power goes out. Portable jump starters with cig lighter plugs (or a small inverter) are good for keeping small stuff like phones charged or a few extra hours on the laptop. Can get these at walmart or auto store. If you require electric power for water like I do, you should store some in buckets for toilet flushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hey that is exactly where I live!! Look out your window that's me doing naked snow angels holding an iPad. Close friend has his business right down the road a bit, just a smidge east of 138 closer to 24. They had sleet for a few minutes. Warm pulses. -- Scott/Will, thanks.
