The band was barely evident embedded in the large system but it was on the same beaches. how do you have there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go check when it wraps up. Now it's accumulating as with these better echoes snow growth must bet better and THESE are the big puff balls that accumulate like crazy finally. Earlier it was a status quo as it was falling and sublimating at about an equal rate after a coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Lot more snow out there than I thought. Measured as much as 3" which I know is high, median seemed to be just under 2". Need to venture a little wider for the total when this finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it snowed like this for another hour 2.5" would be about where we end up. What threw me off was looking at my lawn which needs to be mowed one more time. Normally about an inch covers it but it's way longer than I usually have it at the end of the fall so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about the last day but the earlier Euro runs really nailed this band over me which to me is pretty amazing. Bright sun and 1/2 in snow right now.

#NoPoles Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 that's awesome...i'm out driving around the cape at 3am chasing the elusive oes bands...when really i could have gone to bed like a normal person and wake up this morning and go visit my sister and watch my niece play indoor soccer and i would have been in the best band of the event...somewhere fate is laughing at me...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 We ended up with around 2". It may have been a little more but we lost some to melting in the last two hours. With the assistance of the hose I was able to make a few good snowmen with the kids. Scarfs, carrots, the works. Very warm ground didn't help accumulations. I'm guessing this is a top 2 snowstorm for the winter here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ackwaves Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Off and on heavier flurries with no accumulation. We had about 1/8" earlier but it all melted. Cldy with lite flurries. 32f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Just about to end now but it snowed steadily for about 12 hours. This season that's a miracle. Great job by most of the models. Someone up towards White Horse probably has at least 3" is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capecod04 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 We had a coating in Pembroke early this am bit that was it. Sun took care of it pretty fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Torched as the best band faded about 130. It was weird temps shot up to about 32 for just about 20 minutes and then dove again? So we maintained all the snow, nice white night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all of it reminds me of our meso-scale upslope/orographic snows up here... just waves of snow showers, some heavier than others, big flakes with good dendrite growth and the sun can be out while its snowing heavily in an odd way that only happens during meso-scale events.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 On 12/18/2011 at 3:46 PM, CoastalWx said: That area right on the beaches near and north of Scott are getting some serious echoes right now. What this radar does a great job of showing as well is the difference between the two sides of the canal. The 1.5" Sagamore report comes from the Cape side I believe, which was just west of the main band that setup. Although only about 6-7 miles from here the weather is often quite different where they can change up to an hour earlier in some patterns. I've heard of up to 4" in the White Horse section but I would not report or accept the report as it's a recreational one. 2-3" is solid right under this stripe within a half mile of the beach. There is a LOT less snow 1/2 mile to my west than here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
