I wonder if Kevin and "Bill" get along lol...good work Kev you weenie :)

Just saw channel 30

:weenie:

LOL..they cut out alot of it.. there was one part where he asked how much snow I've had this winter and did i expect this much snow today and i said well I got more than your forecast as a joke lol.. then some other stuff.

And yes it will be on aain at 6:00

Anyone know if you can get a youtube link or clip from something like this?

You probably had more than that, but it melted quickly. I'm thinking you'll do better than that on Wednesday Night into Thursday.

It's quite possible. BOX came in with 0.7" so maybe I bagged 0.4"-0.5"

I've been so out of touch with what's been going on weather wise. I've been swamped by work and other stuff. LOL, it's been like 10 days since I last posted.

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.

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.

I still don't understand how we got accumulations here...I was at 39/31 when the event began with SE winds on a late-March morning. Amazing that we were able to pound out over 1" and get down to 32F, never thought the temperature would drop that far given marginal 850s. I was expecting almost all rain, and that was the forecast from Upton until the wee hours when they threw SN in to cover themselves.

Cold boundary layer and intense VVs. The timing helped too because your boundary layer wasn't as chilly as it was here, so that probably reduced temps by 1-2F. The sounding that I posted for HYA still applies to you. The area just above the surface (below 900mb) was cold and had plenty wetbulb potential. When I looked at how cold the boundary was and how far south the critical thicknesses were on the models yesterday, I figured ptype wouldn't be as much if an issue as the actual dynamics. Despite se flow, it wasn't a really strong se flow that floods the low levels with warmth. It remained around 15kts or so.
