Mr Torchey Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Not for long. Should be some impressive negative departures starting tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey2002 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 My forecast now includes a slushy inch of accumulation for Kevin and the rest of the NW and NE hills of CT. Nice! What time do you think the approx. start time for snow will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 18Z GFS brushes eastern areas with snow later Saturday. Amazing! And again in about 6-7 days. I'm kind of like you. I like early season snows better than anything (Nov-Jan), but a little too much of a good thing spooks me unless we're heading for the next ice age.

moneypitmike Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I find it remarkable that you haven't hit freezing yet. You must have been close. I've seen frost at the top of the crest in Peru and at 2k. Either way, seems to be looking good for us. I can't wait to see the first flakes mix in tomorrow and then take over. I love the first snow. I got to 33.9 on Monday morning. My forecast now includes a slushy inch of accumulation for Kevin and the rest of the NW and NE hills of CT. Further north I think 1-3" in the hilly terrain of western and central Massachusetts... maybe a spot 4" amount in some of the higher spots >1500 or 2kft. Congrats, Kevin. I hear Lesco grass cools faster than grasses using other fertilizers. Maybe you're inch wil be less slushy than Ryan's calling for.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Nice! What time do you think the approx. start time for snow will be? I could see 21z up in far NW Litchfield County and 00z for NE Hills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 18z NAM bufkit soundings are awfully cold. NAM also has much more qpf fallings after the cooler air enters the picture than the GFS has. How that ends up playing will have a significant impact on accumujlation possibilities.

CT Rain Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 18z NAM bufkit soundings are awfully cold. And just like that the 18z GFS is wicked warm. All rain for all of CT. Boundary layer warmth FTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 If you compare the BUFKIT soundings from the 18z GFS and 18z NAM the difference is amazing. The GFS is extremely mild in the boundary layer... to be honest it doesn't even get close to accumulating snow even >1kft in CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Folks have been speaking of the impact the warm ground will have as a limiting factor for accumulaiton. Here we are 18-24 hours out and check out these temps. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GFS is extremely mild in the boundary layer... to be honest it doesn't even get close to accumulating snow even >1kft in CT. Euro is a decent compromise. Aside from it being the most accurate model to begin with, it sits in the middle of the extreme soundings. Though Kevin might take an electrical bath on the Euro wuth Union getting an inch or two and he gets a couple tenths, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 18z NAM bufkit soundings are awfully cold. Is this event at all similiar to the Oct 79 snow event? I remember that fell during the daylight hours. It was literally the day my family moved into our house in Vernon from New Jersey.

The GFS is so freaking warm compared to the NAM it's a lot more than their usual 24-hour disagreement. If you take a compromise you get some slushy accumulation... but if the NAM is right we're talking about much more impressive snows even south a bit.
