40/70 Benchmark Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 This is like Dec '96 Cantore snow right now....just these 30-31F dendrites destroying us right now. Your area should start ramping up more as these heavier echoes move over. Go measure. Doesn't seem to be stacking up, here....been stuck just under 3" for awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much do you have? You should be ripping again. Down to 29.8F here. We have cooled really well at the sfc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 The bright banding has washed out...I think I'm probably safe here for now. But I'll still be nervous the next couple hours. Your area is doing well but this storm is going to be painful for VT....they were at one point in the bullseye and now the echoes are struggling to get past Brattleboro; it looks to me as if N VT will be lucky to see 1-3" while S VT probably gets 3-6"...BTV still has winter storm warnings for the Northern Greens up past Middlebury, can't see how those are going to verify. The 0z GFS never really tightens up the H7 low until it's up towards Maine, and even then the contours aren't particularly tight. I'm thinking the Poconos, which were originally under a warning for 7"+, are going to see almost nothing. Albany will get 1-3" as will most of Vermont. Most of Upton's CWA won't see accumulating snow either...they had 6" up by Middletown NY but almost nothing has fallen and radar looks pretty blank to the west. New Hampshire still looks OK but heavy snow should be confined to the southern portion of the state. Regardless of how much it's snowing in some places, I think everyone is going to view this storm as a bust; areas of heavy accumulations are going to be limited to elevated central MA, S NH, and the immediate coast of Maine....everyone else gets screwed. I don't think anyone will see 12"+....To think this was once being advertised as a storm with 65mph winds, heavy rain changing to heavy snow in the I-95 cities, etc...this has just been a horrible failure. I've only had .2" QPF here, and there doesn't look to be much left. April 1982/April 1997 this was not. Storm just seems disjointed with all these random bands all over the radar, nothing really consolidated. Just very disappointing that we've had extremely cold airmasses since mid March but have basically accomplished nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will always beat me for the most part in every winter, but I don't have any sympathy for some place in VT that has 24" of snowpack that whiffed on this storm while they were accumulating most of it when I was 34F and rain.

Oh well, I guess I have to bet big to win big...I'll be gambling here. I was over to almost 100% snow. But I came back to let you know the PL is 90% here now and Ripping. You've been all snow for 2 hours when i was a mix. I'll say you betting big is worth it. This has been seriouly interesting. however, i'm ready to jump in a tub with an electrical appliance as my forecast for my area has already busted ugh.

ORH_wxman Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I'm despondent that the MT Mansifeld stake won't make 10'. They'll get a an 18" storm on April 25th...I have no concern that they are missing a storm on Mar 31-Apr 1....if BTV gets whiffed while I get a lot of snow...thats fine with me. No apologies are ever necessary when someone is getting drilled and another more climo favored spot is whiffing. I'm sure zwyts (saw him reading earlier and I'm sure he'd agree) wouldn't apologize for getting 65-70" last year while BOS was getting porked....he couldn't care less about Boston missing a 12" snowfall while he gets 18".

ORH_wxman Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 It makes sense. You guys will probably get a 12" event above 1800 feet while we are sunny and 60F later this month...its the way it works. Occasionally I can compete with BTV int he torch valley but for the most part, I'm not going to expect a lot more snow than them, they usually fluff their way to 10-20" more than my area, but I won't feel bad if I'm getting a snowstorm while they are cirrus clouds. We have to have these storms otherwise we'd average 30" per year and not 70". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
