ORH_wxman Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Continue the discussion as we slowly wind down the first round. RH looks good through most of the night in the mid-levels so we could see some light snow at times continue and freezing drizzle for areas that warm a bit in the MLs. 2nd phase of overrunning should get going around or just before 09z in the W areas.

highways1 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Do you think we might stay all snow for Newburyport/Amesbury tomorrow? Thought that coastal proximity might hurt slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Do you think we might stay all snow for Newburyport/Amesbury tomorrow? Thought that coastal proximity might hurt slightly. I think through at least noon time. Your latitude should be ideal. Mostly snow for you, then perhaps some sleet at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamrivers Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 first part final - 10.25" in Chicopee, MA. Well overperformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 First part was a dud up here... advisory for 4-6" and got 2". Getting some rimed tiny snowballs now that the back edge blasted on by. I guess the "little to no gap" talk between the snowfalls isn't happening... GYX says basically nothing for the rest of today/tonight? Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 I think I'm gonna try to head back, but traffic looks awful. Its gonna be a disaster. Probably like a 2-3 hour commute minimum I'd guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamrivers Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Any news on Suffield, CT? when I had 7.75"...the gentlemen on this board from Suffield had 8.5" - also saw a report from Southwick of 6.5" when I was at 5.25"...gotta think out that way they might have gotten 11...who knows, maybe a foot.

weatherMA Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 About 6.3" here as of 2:40. Higher end of what I expected for today. Looks like were about done untill 3-5am except for some -sn that may accumulate to <1". Time to clean up and get ready for tommorow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooralph Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Just took a splendid walk: South End to Chinatown (stop at Dr. @ NEMC for a Z-pak for a burgeoning ear infection... it's not a good storm if I'm not sick). Walked along Common and Public Garden back to Arlington St. Started to thump nicely again after I left the Dr. Looks like a nice final push before the snow winds down. Plows are pretty absent. Roads are quite snowcovered but traffic in the city isn't bad. Wished like hell I didn't have to be in my office. Would have killed to just stroll across the Common with my camera.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 That last band was great, steady SN the past hour with beautiful flakes. Picked up .75" Brings me over 6" so far. SN- now sky a bit brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Beautiful dendrites and great snow growth here today... nothing impressive in terms of snowfall (1.25" so far) but with light snow stretching back into southern Ontario, we should be able to slowly pile up towards 2-3" in this band from ART-BTV-MVL. The great snow growth today has me looking forward to tomorrow because the thermal profiles look similar, maybe a hair warmer... but if we can have this type of snow ratios (probably 16-18:1), we will do quite well tomorrow. Tomorrow it looks like the H7 dry slot shuts it off in eastern NY, SNE, and maybe even CNE after the thump, but we should see another west-east band of snow continue into tomorrow night, likely in a similar location from ART-BTV-MVL-HIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Its gonna be a disaster. Probably like a 2-3 hour commute minimum I'd guess. Fudge iT! I'm at the office in Westborough and have to roll up 495N ... 1hr 20 minutes coming down this morning... Normally a 28 minute commute. I left about 7:30 and there were just a couple of tiny flakes in the air, visibility plenty... But I swear, not 2 miles down the road and the visibility plunged to 1/4 mile... The expression "came in like a wall" bares mightily. We actually started this thing off with about a 2"/ 1 hour burst, then were .75" to 1" per/hr until it finally just went to light snow moments ago here. Estimating about 6" total. The particles were either very small hexo plates and stars, or smaller sized aggregates of those the whole time. Never hinted at IP even once. Roads are passable but aweful. Not much plowing took place at all, though I think they are getting out there now. If even 1.5 hours of plowing and salt lays down will make a huge different between 5 and 7pm. As for tomorrow, if you can work from home I suggest you do it! Even where the heavy morning S goes to IP/ZR, that is going to be a calamity for a while. Not worth the risk. If this was 30 years agao ...that's a different story, but it would be an utter Darwin award if you had the technology at hand, didn't use it, and wound up injured for venturing out in it. I had 24" pack when it commensed this morning... estimating 31 or 32 when I get home, prior to tomorrows 12-15?? heh, wow - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKpowdah Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 SREF doesn't seem to get the 0C line at 850 much N of the Pike. Not sure how that is when compared to other runs. The warm surge will be centered around 800mb, so the sleet line probably progresses a little further north than the pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 All indications are that I am getting mashed tomorrow in Ayer - holy smokes! yeah north-central/eastern Mass looks to get destroyed... gotta love the qpf output on the 12z NAM...

JulieRI Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 This is what is looks like in Westerly, RI thanks to the traffic cams - slight dusing very early this morning, icing by noon and now off and on fine mist. Overall, a let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SREF should be all snow here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
