Hailstorm Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Its been like that over my house since midnight... had some heavy echos overhead but nothing but flurries and the occasional lgt snow Ugh, I hope that these false positive high-DBZ radar returns are not a harbinger for this upcoming winter; since we had the same situation in the Halloween storm this year. Maybe the strengthening La Nina has robbed us of the 700 mb moisture influx this season; hence, we are getting unfavorable dendrite growth.

SBUWX23 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 This was a very dynamic storm, just moving very fast and temperatures obviously were not favorable. The winds here were insane for a couple hours. Almost seemed worse than Irene. FOK gusted to 64 mph this past hour, and lots of lightning across eastern LI and CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Had 40 dbz showing up over my house on radar with a temp of 36.9. I was expecting to look outside and see a few mangled flakes. Instead there's not even a drop of precip falling from the sky. 40dbz my a$$. that's one thing I noticed here is that we had some pretty heavy returns for quite a while, although precip intensity was generally light, moderate at best...zero accumulation, but I wasn't expecting any anyway.

NJwinter23 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Heard that the mesonet station in Point Judith, RI recorded a 79 mph wind gust in the last hour...And tons of thundersnow reports out of CT and Worcester tonight...really cool dynamic storm, just a shame there was not a better cold air source, and the thing is hauling ass of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTrials Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 wow, what a wind storm on the coast of CT last night, could here it just above the deck too, very similar to the march 2010 storm where you could tell it was insane a few hundred feet upstairs had a little sleet at the end too.

bluewave Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 The models did a good job picking out the high wind potential. Notice how the NAM had sustained winds close to 40 kt out by Eastern LI. I have noticed when the NAM has had 40 kt, we have verified High Wind Warnings. The NAM had this also during the 12/26/10 blizzard and Irene.

It's part of it, bordeline temps at the surface and warm wedges in the column was another part of it, and displaced dynamics from the cold source was another.
