dendrite Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 flakes are getting larger and I choose to interpret that as better snow growth rather than an approaching changeover...lol. Haven't measured but at least 4 inches of cement. If you are already close to 6 then I am probably over 5. I thinking I am 8-10 miles wsw of Brian and the snow is increasing in the last few minutes I expect to flip about 15 mins after you.6am 32.2F moderate snow 6.2" new snow 1.0" last hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I'm the little circle with the plus sign. You can see how we keep fighting off the brighter sleet echoes and keep a smoother look to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Bow Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I expect to flip about 15 mins after you. 6am 32.2F moderate snow 6.2" new snow 1.0" last hour Was snowing here at 5am has since turned to sleet maybe 2.5 inches. Could've been three and the sleet knocked it down a bit. Any chance of that backside flip back to snow or is the dryslot going to make precipitation showery?

This is more November snow than all of my seasons combined since I moved here in 2006. It's been a heck of a way to run a torch autumn with 2-3 solid snow events.

bobbutts Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 didn't go out to take a good obs but sleeting now side note, my p&c changes way too often to awkward forecasts during the event.. WSW and disco nailed it, then last night before bed I see nothing but rain forecast overnight on the p&c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got some bright banding over you too so your flakes should at least be getting a little mangled now. Some of my larger aggregates are getting mangled (refrozen) so it's iffy up there around 750-800mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im impressed with fall in general. It has definitely made waiting for winter easier not having to wait for that first snowstorm. Pingers bouncing off the window at a pretty good rate. Maybe I can get some sleet accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Bow Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Parachutes. The end is near. The rain/sleet line is moving about five miles north every time the radar updates, oh well at least we were able to pick up some snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 7" this morning at 6:30, temp 29.7F and rising. 6.5" at 6:30am up at the ski resort base (1,550ft)... just dumping 1"/hr or even a bit better now. Perfect early dawn feel of a snowstorm on a ski morning... beeping wails of the snowcats as they back up is the only sound amid the falling flakes.

mahk_webstah Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 still mod snow but crunchy and def changing over some. 5.5 inches....i'm sure theres been compression so have had more than 6. 2 branches down in my yard and popping sounds in the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 31F at Peru since midnight...probably some big time icing there. I think you're right. I've had a couple cars drive pas t this morning, and they've been going pretty gingerly. It appears I was sub-freezing until 4:00a.m. and then have bounced between freezing and 32.4. Edit that--have spiked to 32.6. A new high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still snow here too, but I confirm the refrozen flakes. There are some dendrites/plates surviving intact though despite the 35-40dBZ echoes.

That's a great point. I guess I probably didn't have much compression taking place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Morning, Made the 1st obs for here SN 32.4F 6.0" snow on the ground Wow, 6" is great! I measured nearly 3" a couple hours ago w/ moderate snow falling so I doubt I have as much. I won't be able to measure again until late tonight, so I'm going to be robbing myself (again) of an accurate measurement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Event totals: 7.1” Snow/0.76” L.E. Snow started up around 11:05 P.M. last night as I noted; it started to accumulate right at that point with a temperature of 32 F, but it took some time to ramp up in intensity. The last time I checked outside in the evening was probably around 11:45 P.M., and the accumulation on the board was still less than half an inch, but snowfall intensity was at least moderate. With 7.1 inches on the board this morning at the 6:00 A.M. observation time, the snowfall rate comes in at a bit over an inch an hour for the overnight period. There was a good amount of liquid in the 7.1-inch snow core; at ~¾ of an inch of liquid, it's on the higher end of what I usually get with the 6 to 12 hour intervals. The snow is a bit dense/wet, as indicated by the roughly 9 to 1 ratio. Some details from the 6:00 A.M. observations are below: New Snow: 7.1 inches New Liquid: 0.76 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 9.3 Snow Density: 10.7% H2O Temperature: 32.0 F Sky: Snow (2-8 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 7.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
