H2Otown_WX Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I could ask my ex to take a measurement - she's just a few miles away at our old place in North Waterboro - but My aunt lives in North Waterboro..maybe I could ask her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Now I watch the dry slot. Looks to me like it will slide ENE from here, probably keeping the IZG area in the steady precip until the low pulls east. Tough to gauge with the poor radar coverage in eastern Vermont. Yeah you can kind of see the making of it in the ne composite back across NY state. Shows up on the GFS 850-500 fields too I guess probably nothing like they are seeing now, but with continued ATL inflow against those hills..likely to squeeze out some snow up that way.

CoastalWx Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Man what a sick gradient. Hooksett is not far from Brian. A half inch?? LOL, wow. I figured at least maybe an inch or two, but the lower elevations had trouble without good cold established. Probably would have been better at 1,000ft for sure.

Snow Bow Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Very happy with my snow forecast so far. I don't even think I'm going to get burned too badly on my guess at the rain/snow line. Portland may just pick up their couple inches in the next hour or so. I think it was a great forecast. You we're worried about the southern part of Merrimack county reaching warning criteria and you were right. Ended up with 3.5 total and it did sleet for about two hours as well. The revised snow map after CON was dropped from 6.9 down to 2.5 was a good call too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen this happen a few times since I've been up here. I think 2/24/10 was the last one to this extreme. The CAD up here is tough to beat.

Yeah hooksett is the town just south of Bow where I live and that is a sick gradient for sure. .5 to 3.5 within 7 or 8 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CAD up here is tough to beat. It seems once you get passed CON, that defintely weakens in general. I was thinking about that exact comment you made a while back yesterday, as I was looking at the terrain maps up there. You can see why the CAD signal is there.

slknight Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yeah, I had the same experience. Heavy winter in Hollis, go over the Saco River bridge into Buxton and it was rain with no indication snow had ever fallen. Same experience in reverse. Heavy, heavy rain until Scarborough and it was suddenly heavy sleet with multiple cars off the side of the turnpike. Nasty mix in downtown Portland.

I was thinking about that exact comment you made a while back yesterday, as I was looking at the terrain maps up there. You can see why the CAD signal is there. It really helps the snow depth survive too. It's so hard to torch it in the heart of winter. If we do get one of those rare 50F/50F airmasses it's usually shortlived. Usually it just spikes up to near 40F for a few hours after the cold frontal passage, but wetbulbs crash limiting any melting. I don't think anything beats those deformation bands that rot overhead, but a string of moderate-heavy SWFEs is close. This 8:1 cement has staying power...in fact my water equiv is going to end up close between this and the Halloween storm (19.1" on 1.15"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 And EEN had 4". That extra elevation helped when they wetbulbed near freezing. Any idea about Jaffrey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 SN Snow-0.8"/hr Snow Total-8.3" Will see if we can make 10" here Awesome--good luck! Still hoping for a change back to snow, but not especially hopeful as the temp has now ticked up to 33.2/32. Winds have been calm for the last couple of hours, but they have pretty much shifted to the north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar shows a nice batch coming in with a the echoes hanging tough west of IZG...probably the mid levels trying to throw the moisture back west and halt the dryslot.

powderfreak Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 8.2" at 1,550ft at the Stowe ski area base...best estimate measurement at the summit is 10" of new on the work road at 3,600ft (wind is blowing solid up top). We had a brief lull of just flurries but now it is dumping snow again. These are back up to 1"/hr type rates with this band of moisture moving in.
