dendrite Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 You can see the front moving south through the Champlain Valley on radar. Then the precip gets enhanced behind the boundary due to the overrunning over the shallow cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summit will definitely have drier snow... temps plummet up there tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Our gauge contained 0.47” of liquid as of 11:30 A.M. when the frozen precipitation started, and that represents the total since 6:00 A.M. this morning. Combined with the 0.60” that I emptied at that point, 1.07” of liquid has fallen here with this event so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Looks like sleet here now... alright, I'm out for a bit. Headed up to Mtn Ops for a meeting and maybe a couple runs if its snowing out. Scratch that... a couple flakes mixing in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it was gonna be decent powder, and a lot of it...well that's tempting. It may end up a 10:1 snow, but I think it will quickly transition to a cold snow in the mid 20s...iow not a wet 32F pasting. If you're looking for fluff...yeah, that probably won't happen given temps aloft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vttaconics Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 LOL .... one serious gust of wind just brought the temp from 48.6 down to 40.5..... In mere minutes. Seriously. Dropping like a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 11:54 A.M.: snow started to mix in here along the Waterbury/Bolton line. I was out shoveling the last of the old snow off the deck before the temperatures drop, so I was able to see the exact time that snow started to mix in. The flakes were fairly big at around 1 cm in diameter. So in this location it was 24 minutes from the first sleet mixing in to the first snow mixing in. There’s still sleet in there now among the big flakes, but I’ll update next when it’s over to 100% snow. That may not be too long because there are already periods now where the sleet is absent.

vttaconics Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Craziness.... down to 34.8F It was almost 50 less than a half hour ago. Transition occurred with very gusty winds. I'll report in when snow begins to mix in. Edit: 33.6 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 BTV +SN and 1"/hr in their 17z METAR. Newport (EFK) and Morrisville (MVL) over to snow now. Meanwhile it is a 49F rain here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 wish we could get in on that stuff here. not in the right location this time. temp heading up. 49F. Sky is pretty bright and no rain is falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile it is a 49F rain here. 47.7F here 20 miles to your north. Surprised to see my stream at the bottom of the hill has not risen at all even with 15 hours in the 40's and the rain. The snowpack must be just soaking everything in. What time Brian would you guess the surface front goes through the Plymouth area? Gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksstormhunter Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Just looking at my latest guidance, still seeing good snowfall potential across the NH-ME regions. Looking at general forecast accumulations for the next 24 hours to range from 9-12" of snow, attached a city breakdown. Seeing 7-9 hour window of 1.0"+ snowfall rates per hour across the areas. Any thoughts on this output, would love to know. http://smartwxmodel.net/snow.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 There’s been sleet mixing in with the snow occasionally, but I’d say as of roughly 12:35 P.M. we’ve been over to 100% snow. It’s certainly not heavy snowfall, I’d say light to moderate in intensity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 12z EC is a little cooler from 00z...mostly in the low levels though. It keeps the QPF going a bit after 12z tomorrow for many of us too. I'd definitely transition to at least some flakes on this run. Looks like I'd start pushing 32F around 6z...maybe a bit later. 2"+ for basically all of NNE. 2" QPF in a 24hr period from 18z-18z for BTV.

sgottmann Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Changeover is very close here -- probably already snow at elevation on Mountain. currently 33. Snowing up the road at the base of mad river glen and 30 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
