eduggs Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Going on a reconnaissance mission... Survived, but it was harrowing. River level - Mostly snow, 36F, slush on windshields, snow looks really pretty in the street lights. 200ft - 35F, light dusting on grass and cars 300ft - 34F, solid coating on grass and cars 400ft - 33F, road completely snow covered, untreated, and few wheel tracks, 0.75" 600ft - 33F, dangerous roads, 1", heavy snow 1000ft - 32F, 1.5"+, snowing heavily and rapidly accumulating. Very dangerous driving conditions. The changeover occurred in Putnam County extremely rapidly. Areas above 350ft dropped ~5 degrees and went from partially flooded to snow covered roadways in about 30 minutes. Great finale to this storm!

Sn0waddict Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Back In Fairifeld for the night... 40F with winds starting to rip out of the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 This thing is ripping north and east now...that band near Allentown is coming at a good clip. Temp is dropping nicely now...we could get a half hr of snow out of this. Starting to see some more flakes in there but mostly rain with some sleet still.

Once we changed over here around midnight its almost like the precip stopped and its been just flurries ever since. thought you'd get some more out of this...but i did warn you re: the poor snowgrowth in the important layers on the soundings. you got caught in some crappy precip rates too.

earthlight Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Nice turn of events here last 2 minutes. We've got medium sized flakes coming down now..about 70/30 rain/snow. Very intermittent though...seems to go back to rain during lighter precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduggs Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Wow.. Once we changed over here around midnight its almost like the precip stopped and its been just flurries ever since. Yeah I was sorry to see the dissipating returns over NWNJ and Orange county... just when the temp profile became supportive of snow. That's frustrating. Hopefully the backside stuff delivers for an hour or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 literally just had snow pellets starting to mix in...hard to tell, could possibly be ice pellets. 35.3F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduggs Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 To support my observation of a rapid temp drop coinciding with a change to snow: The Stonykill Mesonet weather station in Fishkill (200ft) reported 40F at 11:07, 38F at 12:07, and 33F at 1:07. The other stations in the area show similar crashing temps. Interestingly stations up near Kingston didn't experience such a rapid temp drop. That's the power of dynamical cooling. So impressive!
