ORH_wxman Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Models have been trending a shade colder so it won't be surprising if some of us get a period of wet snow at the onset or snow/sleet or sleet alone. Shouldn't be a big deal, but if someone up north is lucky, they could pick up a couple inches...esp into NH. I expect mostly cold rain, but those obs are welcome here too. I have a few flakes quickly changing to rain in the forecast with less than inch of accum (northern zones esp), so shouldn't be impacting travel much. Currently 29 and p cloudy here.

cpickett79 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 31.0 here and i wonder if wa wa can get a blue snowish bomb ....prolly not but i was wondering how Dew points were and any evaporational cooling potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 31.0 here and i wonder if wa wa can get a blue snowish bomb ....prolly not but i was wondering how Dew points were and any evaporational cooling potential. They could start off as a period of steady snow...its close to being several hours of moderate snow at nearly isothermal. The total qpf though isn't that great though so probably no huge deal either way but it would be nice if they stayed snow long enough to pick up a net gain.

powderfreak Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Mixed freezing rain, sleet, and snow down in town at a very marginal 31.7F (800ft). Drove 5 minutes up the road and hit all snow around 1,300ft... currently here at 1,550ft we have 28.5F with steady light snow. 0.6" so far.

Turtle Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 We had a short period of sleet (PL) here at KBOX at around 4 AM, but temps went up quickly (currently 33 degrees). Went out a bit ago, and it's all gone. So T us here. --Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Looks like there was a period of sleet earlier. 33F now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 30/28, sn This is where that extra several hundred feet of elevation comes into play... I was thinking about that as I drove through ZR/IP/SN in the village and then hit all snow around 1,200-1,300ft. Suddenly the road went from a mix of wet/white to solid white in a span of about 50 feet and its been snowing up here at 1,550ft for the past two hours. Times like these when the difference between 800-1,000ft elevation and 1,300-1,500ft is very noticable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Pinging pretty good with the heavier precip bursts with a few mangled flakes and rain drops mixed in. Coating of sleet on the driveway and cars. 33/32 Hope this is not the last frozen precip that I remember March 2011 by... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKpowdah Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Had a couple hours of massive aggregates in Plymouth. About an inch of wet snow on the ground now. 30.6F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Had some sleet mixing in at onset, then rain although I did notice some frozen mixed in on the windshield. I'm at 200' elevation, but my lot in Thornton, NH is at 1100'. I'm kinda hoping they're getting rain up there too (starting to build end of the month, weather permitting), but I bet it's snow up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpickett79 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Elevation is good. ya 1400' is significantly better than 1000'. just that little difference but by the same token get up near 5-6-7K and "magical things happen" N zucker showed me some photos of glacier national park where he worked near last spring. June 30 ...some pass at 6600' several feet of snow on ground and june 16.....a couple feet fell at the pass. just awesome for mid june! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
