weatherMA Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Winter wx advisories tonight? Hmm...seems a little much. Agreed. Unless we get widespread 3+"...a special weather statement that mentions possible 1" or 2" when you wake up would have done nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Have round snow falling in Salem. Not sure what causes it. Almost looks like dippin dots like someone mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Can confirm Coastal's report of multiple flashes 6:30-6:45 in Boston metro, as well as the heavy dippin dots ... surprising, radar did not appear convective. It looked very convective. That cell was flying east at 40kts. Had almost 50dbz echoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 LOL, that's exactly what it was. Graupel is formed in convective clouds. Convective cumulus clouds have tons of moisture in them. Sometimes snowflakes fall into a warm layer and partially melt or become heavily rimed in a layer that is around -5C or so. This is what gives it the hail appearance. It some ways, it forms in similar ways. This storm had quite a bit of lightning to the east. Similar thing happened at Midway last night.METAR KMDW 020351Z AUTO 05026G49KT 1/16SM R31C/1200V2200FT +TSSNGS BLSN FZFG OVC001CB M06/M08 A2969 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSnowman Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Al TV Mets in RI at 6pm - "A little drizzle and freezing fog tonight Maaaybe some light snow showers...a dusting." After the WWA came out - "A little freezing rain and some light snow showers....maybe a dusting...or an inch.... or maybe 2." Hahaha. I knew we had the chance to get some good snows tonight. They were model hugging again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVries Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Thunder! Nice flash of lightning. Wow! This stuff is convective. Crap, I headed out just after 6:30...must have missed it. I knew I shouldn't have spent all that time on the phone before I left work. Graupel the size of large peas here. Wow. I caught the tail end of the precip, but I guess that stuff had already fallen. Damn, I thought that was some kind of salt that was thrown around. I was suddenly taken aback at the height of some of the snowbanks along the sidewalks on the way home this evening. I mean some of them are around 5 feet right along the streets. That's pretty crazy for the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastBayWx Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 no way dude - totally necessary. have you driven anywhere around here you'd agree! Most cars buried in the median that I've seen in the last decade thanks to the Freezing drizzle pouring down in the mid 20s. I-195 East of Providence was like driving down the luge. WWA well warranted this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 10 There is a town meeting tomorrow night to decide which vacation to take away to make up some of the days That happened out here in Gardner and Quabbin due to the '08 ice storm. They used 4 days of Feb vacation and still got out June 26 or so. More snow days in the future. We have had 5 for my place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 BOS officially up to 70.5" on today's CLI...only 2.5" more inches for Jerry's 73". Radar suggests I have an outside chance of booking it overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowwoman Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 CT schools are cancelling ours to do structural checks, after todays collapses I fully support it. Here are some pics I took from today's mess I have more on flickr if anyone wants to check them out. http://www.flickr.com/photos/16870308@N07/sets/72157625838061917/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomNH Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hopefully when combined with the snow that fell earlier, this band will give me the 1'' I need for a foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 How much did you get today? more importantly how was Magic? Total for the two days so far is 13.5 but we're laying some more down right now. Magic was fantabulous. All steep terrain open and covered with tons o'snow. Nice thing about them being closed TUE/Wed/ Thurs (unless it's a powder day) is the whole mountain was unskied when we caught first chair. Freshies. Even had to get roped off the chair when it broke down around 3:30. Bonus free ski voucher. All in all a great day. What's the story with the weekend system? out of the loop today.
