RT 2 climbs quickly. MPM is at 1000' but not far from me as the crow flies. After you get off I-91 at the rotary and head W on Rt 2 I'm the first right but miles up the road towards Colrain. Neighborhood is in a nice elevated plateau along the Green River. Usually average about 3 degrees colder than town. yeah we always watch the car thermos drop from Greenfield up into Colrain and finally that first town in VT. I drive by your house all the time man!

Logan11 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 2 inches now... Back edge stabilized for now anyway. It's definitely pretty outside. Good luck to everyone over there.

I know sometimes it can be a little overzealous with snow, but it's good with trends and nowcasting up to 6 hrs. That's what I've noticed too, a little amped up with the snowfall. But considering the strength of the wave and associated low pressure, the HRRR should do pretty well on the verification of features. These are the situations when it is supposed to perform well.

ORH_wxman Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Part of the reason the RUC is trending better is its keeping the vortmax in a more "ball" formation rather than a line...its holding it together better as it crosses E LI and SE MA.

I haven't been following curious to its earlier evening performance on the R/S line. It had 1-3" for BWI/DCA and even a little southeast of that line. Leesburg which is NW of that line didn't even see flakes. Totally bullish on progression of colder temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean it's wrong here though. Temperatures just universally fell on the mesonet....very odd. http://www.pdfamily....her/mesomap.htm EDIT: fell here too, 47.2 down 1.6 in a flash.

ChrisM Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 just an amazing temperature gradient. Harwinton, CT at my parents house sits at 37 degrees. New Hartford, which borders Harwinton to the east has a meso site reading 44. Canton, about 15-20 minutes from Harwinton to the east sits at 46. Front is sharp, and you can see exactly where it is by watching these obs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are probably right that it is snowing in Peru right now. You normally wouldn't see that type of temp drop unless the melting of the snowflakes was helping out.

wxmanmitch Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Parachutes continue here as transition to snow is now complete. Man these things are huge, probably about an inch or inch and a half in diameter. Ground is now totally white with about 1/2" accumulation so far. I may stop in a few times overnight to provide quick updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RUC has trended a lot better. I get ripped between 3-5am...2-4" if its right, but still wary of the back end not being as heavy as some of these models are depicting, but I still would rather see them trending better rather than worse of course.

I could see that area in ern PA giving us some fun later. It looks like it's getting its act together there. Vortmax can be seen moving off the Delmarva on radar.
