MaineJayhawk Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Depressing.. Elevation FTW. On the plus side, I'll probably be awake when the inch or two of snow is falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 This is good news for the ski areas-some will surely struggle with sales (esp CT and MA) if we get a warm winter...ain't paying $50 to ski on ball bearings...LOL They need snow stat. Monptelier was 35 at 9am. At 3pm they're at 36. Brutal cold push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I still don't buy it..I am standing by 2-3 inches.. 1-2" and if we end up with more fine Elevation FTW.

moneypitmike Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 RUC continues to go west, much more and it'll be over MPMs head. Has Kev to Jerry about 50-60 at 1am. LOL!

Temps up in Burlington and Montpelier since 9am still haven't dropped in the last few hours with mostly saturated air. I don't know. But the temp march has been painful to say the least. Here's the graphed temps from the Pit. Soooooo slow. BOX's AFD talks about ALY launching a baloon--any word on when that's taking place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Elevation FTW. On the plus side, I'll probably be awake when the inch or two of snow is falling. Absolutely. That map shows about 2" for MBY at just under 400', and 6-8 miles to my south is the red blotch of 8-10" on the Kennebec Highlands at 800-1,200'. GYX has some odd splits between N&S for Oxford/Franklin/Somerset: OX: South 4-8", North 6-10" FR: South 3-5", North 6-10" SO: South 1-3", North 8-12" That last is the weird one. (And I'm supposed to be in N.Somerset Friday exploring young spruce-fir thickets along unplowed roads.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Well, I'm not sure when the flip to snow takes place in relation to the freezing 850, but it seems there's some precip taking place post it's passage out here. Meanwhile, only 10 degrees more to hit freezing. 42.0/42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 18Z NAM is actually an ALB special. They get smoked under hours of +SN per this run as the mid-levels cool off quicker out there, maximizing snow time. We'd still do okay, but a good chunk of QPF is wasted as RA as it takes 3 hours for 850 mb 0° C line to get from ALB to PSF. Probably a high end advisory, maybe low end warning verbatim for Berks. Definite warning for Poconos, Catskills, and ALB this run. The NW trend is no longer our friend... I hate it when a met has the same thought as me and it's not one of optimism. For MBY, I suppose being further north might help me a smidge with the cold air given the orientation of the temp gradiant. But, nothing of any significance. We could really use a 30 mile shift to really lighten up the mood in GC. Mitch--the temps here are similar to the orientation of the temp gradient that I mentioned in these posts. Don't know if this gradiant translates further up, but it seems a pretty solid SW-NE orientation. 42.1/42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
