CoastalWx Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Kills me to have missed the good banding yet again.....blows. Like Boxing day all over. This area wasn't under the best area for banding regardless. You also used up QPF in the rain too. If it were a month or two from now, we'd be ripping as we would have had the DGZ in the area of frontogeneic forcing. But the lift occurred under the DGZ since this was a warmer airmass in Autumn and you had to get to the very strong frontogenesis out west that forced a good lift spike into the DGZ. Give it a chance. I know you have that dryslot over now, but that band should deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 A hair over 23" here. This may be a little conservative due to compaction. I didn't exactly follow the meticulous snow board method. Still snowing light to moderate. Death band may be gone, but it's still going pretty good. Small flakes still really acting to reduce the vis to a 1/2 mile at times. Probably pick up another 2 inches or so before it's done around 4 AM. Simply an incredible storm, even for mid-winter standards. Not likely we'll see anything like this again in October anytime soon.

It was to the point where a single cop had to drive along the highway and start pulling branches off the road so cars could get by. No plows or snow crews in sight I doubt this caught anybody "off-guard". DOT's only have so many resources. Interstates and large highways get first treatment. Most DOT's have their own road weather forecast companies and many also consult the NWS in some way. This wasn't a surprise storm or anything, just a beast.

Snow Bow Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Probably not but I'll check in 20 mins. I'll probably score between 1-2" this past hour. You are absolutely getting pummeled again and may get over 20". This banding over our region was similar to 1/12, but setup just a little bit further south. You're essentially in the position I was for that storm. The HRRR has a little over 0.50" more here after 4z (12am) through 9z. Those 0.10"/hr w.e. rates would be easily 1-2"/hr through 3-4am. Maybe it's off its rocker, but we'll see. I never thought I'd see over a foot in October. Its a good band probably my favorite ever minus loosing power but whatever have the woodstove cranking, a car charger, and 3g coverage. And yes I am getting pummeled again prob estimating without floodlight but looks like an inch in the last twenty or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten 5 hours of sleep the past few nights so we'll see how long I can last. If I'm not up, its not like I'll never see those insane rates again, its only because its October that its so insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UI only has about 12K out right now as they're mostly on the shore.... but for CL and P territory, this is their record. Most of the outages this time are clustered in the northern and western ends of the state. Fortunately, there might be more mutual aid available from RI and Eastern MA this time.....we can hope.
