moneypitmike Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Well I can see the clear air mode filling in to my west every time it looks like the back edge wants to approach. Its snowing pretty good here right now. I'd be happy if I scraped out another few tenths to half an inch. With the stuff that's continued to come down for the last hour and seems to want to contineu, I'll probably eek out 4 or so. It'll probably all disappear under tomorrows strong spring sun. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Our best snows were the past 90 minutes when the radar looked it's lightest all morning. Probably picked up close to 1" 2"+ driveway. Close to 3" on a lot of the grassy surfaces. Here are two pics. The first is how my roof looked late yesterday the 2nd is from an hour ago.

weatherMA Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Looks like tomorrows mid 40s is the warmest we get for at least a week. That's impressive for the last week of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Still big fat dendrites here art home, but non accumulating.

CoastalWx Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Man elevation is huge. The hill about half a mile away still had a solid coating. It might be maybe 80' higher than where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 What a horrible afternoon, after a nice suprise burst of snow, that has melted and its been steady sheet drizzle, temps around 40 with a stiff east wind off the water. Thank God tomorrow looks like a winner, should be mid 50s and full sun around here. Looks like the cold pattern is here for a while, if thats the case lets all pray it snows or else it will be pure misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Nice snow event here. Back to big dendrites but we're losing the battle now...snow is slowly going bye bye. This was white cliff golf course about 230..can see it's totally covered. That's exit 2 Rte 3 and that's also full sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Today was a nice example of how important it is to analyze the boundary layer with model soundings. Any hack met could have looked at MOS and model 2m temps and thought rain for the coast. The lower 2000' was pretty darn cold just above the surface, and also very dry. Surface TD's were rather low, so we had plenty of room for wetbulbing. Snow growth was also good with lots of lift in the DGZ. MOS probably couldn't handle a situation like this well with the time of year combined with se boundary layer flow. KACK still all snow which is impressive given they have se flow as well.

Yeah, i just drove up a hill into Worcester and it looked like a solid 1.5-2" everywhere, compared to my 1". Only 100-200' el difference, from 400 or so to 600.

40/70 Benchmark Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 About .75" of slush.....probably end up with about 1". BL was a big issue here in the lowlands....needed elevation. No complaints. 32.4\31 1" on the nose and likely about done now that snowgroth blows. 32.2\31 I have now vaulted ahead of 1981-82 ( 89.4") with 89.5" of snow on the season.....should pass 1971-72 (90.7") and 1963-64 (91.7") on Thursday.

SSE wind at bourne rotary is over/near some warmer waters at the western end of the canal/buzzards bay. SSE/Se wind here is off cape cod bay which is always colder by a few degrees. Was 34 at the bourne rotary with no accumulatings, 32 at White Cliff.... at the same time. I think it's only about 3 miles as the crow flies.

The 900-950mb was very cold so it wasn't suprrising that a lot of places on the CP never even mixed with rain at the onset, they just started off as straight snow. There were two inhibitors today for getting a bit higher amounts...the daytime aspect with the sun angle....which wouldn't matter too much except for #2...the snow intensity. Snow never really got heavy except maybe in very brief bursts. It was mostly a moderate snow or 3/4 SN-. Its tough to slam that into the Mar 21 sun angle at peak day light...if it was +SN, then it wouldn't have mattered. I personally thought we'd see a little bit more wide area of heavy snow that woul dlast for an hour or two straight. But that never quite materialized. Still, it was fun to get the monkey off the back for March at least and ~2.5" wasn't too bad for here. A lot of elevation dependency though for accumulations. Not ptype.

Woburn is a pit. Further south in Stoneham a little higher up, everything was covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
