DomNH Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Nice! I gained 3.5" before the final flip. You think we will change back over this afternoon/evening? Plow went by, but I am not going to fire up the snowblower for this, unless we get a good deal more later I'm cleaning it right now, otherwise it'll go from 3'' of paste to 3'' of slush and standing water.

radiator Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Warm front passage, temp rocketed to 45/44 this front is flying northeast, on our way to 50's easily I'm probably 15 or 20 minutes behind you... It's now 41.7, no, make that 42.1, going up, and the thermometer can barely catch its breath... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 NAM continues to say wagons south for clipper tomorrow night I'm nervous about Sunday. The best stuff might be to the north, a couple of inches seems like a good start. It's possible the euro might be a little too far north too, but lets see what the 12z models do. I think maybe an inch tonight for now. I'm never big on these backside things, but the dynamics seem to be there. That's going to be a nowcast. I could see something where we barely get a coating or perhaps over an inch. I think you guys need to talk......

Logan11 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 They flipped to rain in the southwest Catskills ....at about the latitude of the Sheffield, MA (southern Berks). So that might be a guide post as to the latitude to look for a changeover. SN here and 27.5F It seems to be pushing 7 inches now in depth. es I think you guys need to talk......

weatherwiz Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 The convective potential this afternoon for a small part of the reason is fairly intriguing, looks like the better chance may exist just to our south where those areas will get more into the warm sector but southern CT out across RI and into SE MA certainly may get into the warm sector as well, even if only for a brief amount of time. There is a great deal of forcing aloft and some great forcing from a very strong ML/UL jet. The dry slot just out ahead of the front is pretty evident and with temperatures cooling aloft this should continue to slowly generate some elevated instability. Wouldn't be surprised if during the next SPC outlook we see the 2% TOR contour expanded northward to include all of southern CT/ parts of RI/SE MA and the 5% wind contour moved as well. I don't think we see the slight risk expanded as the better instability stays off to our south. The vicinity of the warm front is where to watch.

Mica Vim Toot Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Aren't most cars up there in the county on blocks anyway. Snicker. Cute. Back to fact- No economic extremes in The County. Income levels are relatively low but relative to the rest of Maine they are evenly distributed. Very little actual poverty as can be found in many of the sad hamlets distributed between the islands of wealth down state. Not many rich folk either. I used to live in Carrabasset. The drive through New Vineyard or Athens, for examples, was depressing. Such disparity is not to be found up in Aroostook County. Prosperous farms, efficient small businesses and the labor pool needed for them are the greater part of our economy. Vim Toot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'm hoping for a snownado up here Thanksgiving 2005 on the Maine coast. THANKSGIVING DAY TORNADO IN PHIPPSBURG CONFIRMED... AFTER SURVEYING DAMAGE FROM THE THANKSGIVING DAY (NOV 24) STORMS IN PHIPPSBURG, SAGADAHOC COUNTY, MAINE, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS DETERMINED THAT DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY A SMALL TORNADO. THE TORNADO INITIALLY TOUCHED DOWN NEAR SMALL POINT ROAD ABOUT 1 PM AND TRAVELLED NORTH ACROSS HERMIT ISLAND AND THEN ACROSS SMALL POINT HARBOR WHERE THE TORNADO LIFTED OFF THE GROUND. THE TORNADO THEN TOUCHED DOWN AGAIN BRIEFLY IN A WOODED AREA OFF WEST POINT ROAD BEFORE DISSIPATING. ALTHOUGH THE DAMAGE WAS DISCONTINUOUS...THE OVERALL PATH LENGTH OF DAMAGE WAS ABOUT TWO MILES WITH A MAXIMUM WIDTH OF ABOUT 30 YARDS. THE TORNADO INTENSITY WAS CLASSIFIED AS F1 ON THE FUJITA SCALE. MAXIMUM WINDS WERE ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 100 MPH AND NEAR SMALL POINT ROAD WHERE THE GREATEST DAMAGE OCCURRED. THE TORNADO KNOCKED OVER NUMEROUS TREES AND DAMAGED OR DESTROYED SEVERAL BUILDINGS. SEVERAL SUMMER HOMES WERE BLOWN OFF THEIR FOUNDATIONS. MAINE AVERAGES ABOUT TWO TORNADOES A YEAR. THIS IS THE SECOND CONFIRMED TORNADO IN MAINE FOR 2005. THE FIRST CONFIRMED TORNADO OCCURRED OVER NORTH TWIN LAKE IN PENOBSCOT COUNTY ON AUGUST 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 TOR in SNE in Feb... That would be awesome Would be extremely, extremely rare...in fact I don't think there has ever been a confirmed tornado in SNE during the month of February. NY/PA have had 1 and NJ has had 4 of them. I doubt we see any today but if one were to happen NJ would be the location based on how things look.

Organizing Low Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Ahh you win some you lose some... I'll still get a solid plowable snowfall and its nice to see others in central New England are now able to partake. I feel really bad for OrganizingLow as it looks like his area may not see a flake when they were close to .5" of QPF yesterday. I still have hope for some rouge low-ratio snow band and in the mountains here ya never know... the low level wind direction and moisture could line up perfectly to bring more snow than what first meets the eye on the models. Particularly on the backside of this. we are actually snowing now, started about an hour ago 1/2 mile visibility we'll proably get about an inch or so looks like the 'northernmost' heavy band will pass from BUF-ROC-ART-BTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Is it decent on the Canadian side around Edmundston etc?
