MaineJayhawk Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Well it's still pretty meh for most, but better than nothing. They got crushed right near Minneapolis. 12-17". Nice. That's a lot of snow for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Maybe for your area..but for most it's exactly AWT..Sorry you got screwed 3-5" or 3-6" is not going to pan out for most of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 3-5" or 3-6" is not going to pan out for most of the area. For the areas that were forecasted for it..it will..it was always supposed to be 1-3 for your area on east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 what big picture? I have 0.5" as of 7am. This event is paltry as expected. Haha I had the same reaction. Big picture shows a weak snow event... 2"-3" of high ratio fluff that compacts to .5" in 24 hours. I know about high ratio fluff quite well... because as Ray likes to say, any passing cloud over the Greens seems to queef a few inches of fluff with no liquid in it.

Brian5671 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Picked up 3 inches here...storm's ending now as the best stuff shifts South and East...nice little event! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 For the areas that were forecasted for it..it will..it was always supposed to be 1-3 for your area on east you honestly think most of CT will see that? I know you live near 1000 ft...so you're probably getting extra lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Looks like some nice bands, back in BOS. Hopefully I can whiten up the disaster that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful...3 or 4 for most and that's mainly western CT I'd say 1-3 statewide would have been the better call. Ryan was right when he said snow growth was atrocious yesterday....

Tropopause_Fold Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Ray ftw in Central/Eastern areas lol? LOL - yeah i was just going to post that. there's been some nice banding up there recently. probably best snows in all of SNE right now are near KGAY.

weatherMA Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 lol...last hour I measured 1.4 and I just measured 1.3...looks like the compaction out did the snow last hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Is there any thread for discussion of this next event on Friday/Saturday? I don't like seeing the NAM/DGEX going where the EURO is going... cutting way inland. I know its the DGEX but it does support the EURO solution of mild/rain. Ugg.

Ryan was right when he said snow growth was atrocious yesterday.... Snow growth was about as good as it could have been, pre daw hours it was fantastic, liquid equiv will suprise you, we got the most bang for our buck. Dramatic cutoff too, 3.5 here, and family in Greenwich says 5 and i think zuckie is close to 7 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Nice band filling in over ALB and MPM heading SE..should be enough for another 1-2 for many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dramatic cutoff too, 3.5 here, and family in Greenwich says 5 and i think zuckie is close to 7 inches. that's the gradient i thought might exist...but a few days ago i figured it would be more in the BOS to PSM region...not NYC to HVN.

CoastalWx Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 8 yrs ago, there was about 2' of new snow on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVries Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Just waking up to some good snow rates. Let's try to power out about 6" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 well at least it's snowing. to each their own but for me personally, it beats 47F and p. sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 25 dbz just north of me but Ive been sitting in 15 dbz with barely -sn. Still beats all other wx on Feb 21. Only thing that would be better then this would be heavier snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 well at least it's snowing. to each their own but for me personally, it beats 47F and p. sunny. Particularly on February 21. It's not time for spring just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Finished with 8" here...there is still some banding back in central PA that may brush the NYC area later, but for all intents and purposes the main event has come to a close in this area. Photo of a garbage can measurement, uncleared throughout the storm, about 30 minutes ago: Juhring Estate Nature Preserve: SW CT had about 7" as well, with some 7.5" totals in NNJ. Nice firehose of precipitation came through the I-80 corridor in Central PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Nice band filling in over ALB and MPM heading SE..should be enough for another 1-2 for many Trust me, it's nothing to write home about. If it snows this rate for another hour or two MP and I might break 1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 As Kevin would say, violently agree to the point that I'm shaking you. snow has been a real steady very light/small flake deal for the last few hours. just now starting to see some bigger flakes mixed in and seems to match radar returns well. a general coating/quarter inch right now. not much. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Looking at radar is interesting. The stuff over most of sne is more or less related to processes in the mid levels...either some weak WAA or frontogenesis. However, the stuff down by NYC is due to some stronger low level forcing. It's basically right along the 850mb warm front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
