dendrite Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Had a dusting of snow this morning...haven't measured, but it is probably my 3rd 0.1" on the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slknight Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Co-workers filtering in complaining about slippery road conditions. Yeah, it's a sheet of ice down here. I-95 is an absolute mess and I heard it's closed southbound near the Pisquataqua river bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Radar shows more precip moving in within the next 30 minutes. I'm currently sitting at 26.6F so it will likely be some ZR initially. Since it's basically insitu-CAD I'd wager that the ZR is brief and we diabatically warm up to 32-33F relatively quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Had 5F at 9 last eve, about 3 at 5 AM, up to 12 and overcast at 7. Just got an in-house e-mail warning of very slippery steps/walkways outside the AUG office, and the salt-spreaders are at work. Doubt we've had more than a couple cents qpf so far, but with the cold ground, that's enough. GYX posted a WWA for the ice in their morning pkg.

wxeyeNH Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Had a dusting of snow this morning...haven't measured, but it is probably my 3rd 0.1" on the season. Same here. Seems like lots of dusting snows this fall. 25" snowfall for fall season isn't bad. 25/23F right now. Radar shows precip should be falling but nothing is yet. I see Christmas storm is gone. I was texting my friend David Brown who was on air last night Ch 5 in Boston as Harvey Leonard was off. I was much more skeptical about a Sunday storm than most on the boards but kept my feelings to myself. He went with the Euro for Sundays storm as it seemed everyone was doing last night when run after run of GFS said no.. I know the GFS loses storms in this time period but I would hate to be a on air Met and try to forecast when one model says yes and another no. Maybe it will still happen but would not bet on it.

dendrite Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 28.4F with some training ZR/ZL now. Getting icy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 OK my temp is dropping...27.8F. It looks like it's going to be a slippery early afternoon with those echoes working in from the due west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Was this really not seen by people? I haven't looked by I think models had a finger of moist mid level RH overhead with sct QPF, so a -ZR or FZDZ signal was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Rain was in the forecast. Temps below 32F were not. Well I didn't look too hard, but I would think 522 thickness air filtered in during the day, plus WAA only occurring at night, plus the interior of Maine equals cold.

It's probably raining too hard for all of it to even freeze, but we're getting the diabatic warming kicking in finally as it's up to 28.8F (up 1F in about 15 mins).

dendrite Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 30.7F My truck is getting encased in ice and the grass/shrubs are getting crunchy. The temp has held steady over the last 15 minutes. It's too bad we can't get a little more northerly drain to prolong the glazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor thin layer of sub-freezing temps though, not the more typical profile of cooling for a couple thousand feet before warming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I don't have much more than an hour to go. The HRRR has < 0C 2m/skin temps here through this evening, but I'd bet the house its wrong. 31.2F now.

dendrite Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 31.9F...the icing is about done here. Same temp here as on the summit of the Rockpile though. Nice inversion from 1500' to 3000'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 32F with -RN... too borderline to call it ZR though we did see a light glaze as well as a coating of snow and sleet last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that MWN is over 40F at 4,000ft while over here at 4,000ft on Mansfield it just ticked up to 35F. 32F at both 1,500ft and 800ft. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/GMgetobext.php?sid=MMNV1&banner=gmap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Just got a report from my wife in Montpelier that people are sliding around all over the place on the sidewalks in town. Fun! Yeah I've noticed that although its 32F here and we aren't icing in the true sense, the pavement and sidewalks and parking lots are really, really slick. They were probably frozen solid this morning and still are, allowing the water to freeze even with air temps right around freezing. I mean, it was 10F at 11pm last night when I got out of work... so that ground surface is cold. I did find it funny last night how tourists in town were wondering if it really would rain today because it was so darn cold last night. One couple was like how in the world will it rain in 12 hours if its 10 degrees outside right now? Oh it'll find a way, don't worry. haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston's "100-hr storm", biggest until 2/78. Farmington got 43" (for an amazing 84" snow depth), Long Falls Dam to the north 56", and Pinkham Notch 77" and something like 156" OG. Only 4" of slop in NNJ; our storm that month was the Lindsay storm on the 9th. Steady ZR here, folks still sliding on sidewalks despite the salt-spreading. Headed home now, not looking forward to Mile Hill - hope the road crews have been diligent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
