Mica Vim Toot Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Lots of going on in here Everybody quiet! It's a fog zombie here in our snowy thread! A sickly (point of order- how can a zombie, already dead, be sickly???) and drooling one staggering across the squishing Tolland loams seeking a taste of snow. Run! Vim Toot!

The fog zombies eventually pay everyone a visit..eating at your sleds, squishing their feet across your face...you've kept them at bay for now..relentless as they are...you are starting to hear their footsteps...distant perhaps..yet clearly audible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 They are crawling north. Darkness falls across the land The midnite hour is close at hand Creatures crawl in search of blood To terrorize y'awl's neighborhood And whosoever shall be found Without the soul for getting down Must stand and face the hounds of hell And rot inside a corpse's shell The foulest stench is in the air The funk of forty thousand years And grizzly ghouls from every tomb Are closing in to seal your doom And though you fight to stay alive Your body starts to shiver For no mere mortal can resist The evil of the fog zombies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I am in Winooski all day for a class. Not looking forward to the ride home at 5:00. The damage to the snowpack is evident but not as bad as it could have been, at least around my house. Up here in the Champlain Valley many of the fields and lawns are showing through. The snowmobile trails around my house have held up okay, but I am sure there is running water in spots. The BTV map has at about 8 inches so we may be able to get some more riding in before it is all said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Burlington down to 32F at 9am. Keep 'er comin'. Nice 16F drop in one hour! 12Z NAM seems slight better than 6Z with cold coming just a bit faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 12z NAM really cuts down on the QPF over W NY. I'm close to a ZR sounding at 6z tomorrow morning. A little bit cooler and it could be a nasty icing event for the morning commute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grambo Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 When I woke up around 7:30 it was 47 degrees here in Winooski. It's now 32 and the flakes are mixing in. A little earlier than expected WRT forecast. Do we see BTV raise snow totals back up?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Nice 16F drop in one hour! 12Z NAM seems slight better than 6Z with cold coming just a bit faster. More impressively they dropped 12F in 21 minutes. The 3hr (15z) sounding for BTV on the NAM had a sfc temp of 33F for BTV. At 1416z they're already 31F. Hopefully that low level cold overperforms on its strength/timing. It will still be difficult to get it to bleed into our area over the mountains though. It'll eventually happen, but it may be too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not been abled to look out the window yet, so I haven't seen any flakes yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things always seem to drop quicker than progged for the first hour or two, and then level off. Definitely not the best job by MOS, but MET MOS is horrible..lol.

Yeah I agree...usually the thermal gradient ends up more extreme than MOS indicates so you get a little colder in the cold sector and a little warmer in the warm sector. If you take the MAV wetbulbs for sites once the winds are progged to go to the N/NW then it matches up fairly well with the actual 32F isotherm. The MAV has LCI going NE at 3z and NNW at 6z and Tw's around that time are near 32F. So we'll see....maybe I can pull something frozen (or freezing) out of the hat on the tail end after midnight.

dendrite Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 FSO in NW VT is over to 1SM -SN. Getting the slow drop and wind shift at EFK and MVL now too. This cold will have an easier time rushing due south down the Champlain Valley though Wherever Nan is she is in line for a lot of snow. Probably a little upslope enhancement too on those western ridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be an absolute crushing for those north facing areas in the dacks and se of BTV..up through nrn NH and Maine.

mahk_webstah Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Your winds Brian have been ne all morning no? only 42 here. I would guess we mix out though as the front gets close? ... temp rises and then we wait for the plunge which will likely be too slow for significant frozen.
