mattb65 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'm not sure I buy that. Almost all the mesonet temps I see in Northern CT are AOA 32 degrees. The exception is around Tolland and in neighboring parts of western Windham Co. Check the wet bulb temps and dews - could be kinda ugly since the temps are only 33/34. MBY is way too warm and heading warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I don't know what to think..You would have thought everyone would be in the mid 30's by now. I'm not sure what is causing the colder scenario except the snowpack?? Maybe that is weenieish..I don't know? It's weird seeing everyone's temps fall back to 31-32 Well we're seeing evaporational cooling right now. Winds are still really light. Once the winds pick up out of the S and E ahead of the low we'll see temps rise quickly. That said most areas in CT... probably >90% of the state is already above freezing so for most it's not a big issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 In general, models are ticking a bit closer to the coast with it, could be a light to moderate event around here if they verified verbatim. Boundary layers a bit sketchy in the coastal plain and lower elevartions. 15Z SREFs looking a bit more aggressive and a number of the members try to get a nice deformation feature going around here early Tuesday morning. 29 degrees and moderate freezing rain here. Mitch, Thanks. So many threads. lol The deformation feature has pulled me back in. It'll be nice to get more snow. The pl/zr events do nothing for me.

chim chiminey Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 winds are too light to scour out the LLC. as soon as they pick up everyone will jump into the mid-upper 30s east of the charlton service plaza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the warm idea some had for this storm are going to work..Sure it'll get above 32..but then we'll drop back below towards morning.

I still remember how long that ice/sleet took to melt in 2007 Was walking around the yard this AM to clear more roof. It is stunning how dense the snowpack is right now IMBY. So tough to move through. I don't see this going anywhere for a long time. So deep mans dense that kids don't want to go out and play because they get stuck!

MaineJayhawk Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 GYX says "torch!" THE TRACK OF THE LOW BRINGS WARM AIR N INTO MUCH OF THE FCST AREA ...EXCEPT FOR THE N/MT ZONES OF NRN NH AND WRN ME. THE WARM AIR INTRUDES ALOFT CAUSING SN TO CHANGE TO PL OR ZR DEPENDING ON THE DEPTH OF THE CD AIR UNDER THE WRM INTRUSION ALOFT. GENERALLY USED THICKNESS AND VERTICAL TEMP SOUNDING FCSTS TO PRODUCE PRCP TYPE FCSTS. ALONG THE COAST TEMPS ALREADY ABOVE FREEZING WITH DEW POINTS ALSO RISING ALONG THE MID COAST WITH AN ONSHORE WIND. THIS WILL LIKELY PROVIDE A CHC FOR RN ALONG THE COAST ALONG WITH THE THREAT OF SOME SN OR ICE AS WELL. WILL CONT ALL HEADLINES...BUT BACK OFF ON SN ACCUMULATION S OF THE FOOTHILLS DUE TO MORE ICE THAN SN OVERNIGHT. WILL DOWNPLAY THE IMPACT ALONG THE COAST...ESPECIALLY THE MID COAST WHERE MORE RN THAN SN AND ICE EXPECTED. FOR PSM ZONE IN SE NH...MOSTLY RN SO NO HEADLINE CONTINUES THERE.

I know, I had to walk through it yesterday, was quite a workout. My walk and driveway are skating rinks today, if it softens tomorrow I should chip it and get the surface prepared for possible snow this week.
