Ginx snewx Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 \\ Not so sure it's that...irts actually weak CAA. Oh see OKX starting to blossom too, neat, CAA FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Definitely some upslope enhancement from this light snow along the west side of the Berks/Taconics. Visibility slightly below a mile and -SN here. Nice dendritic flakeage, which is now quickly whitening the ground. If this can persist, someone around here may get an inch or two.

CoastalWx Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Oh see OKX starting to blossom too, neat, CAA FTW I thought it was WAA too. Maybe above 500mb there is some going on. One of those things where a few things may be going on to trigger the snow. You don't need much dynamics with a cold atmosphere to wring out snow. Most of it seems like a Lake Ontario connection and upslope, but some other stuff like PVA may be helping too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I love when you click on the BOX radar it now brings up the Northeast Sector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I love when you click on the BOX radar it now brings up the Northeast Sector. i hate it. i'm sure they didn't have much control over when to do this, but it sucks that it ended up in january (thankfully the pattern looks quiet so for the most part seems we will escape this OK) some time in the fall or spring would have been nice. that said, dual-pol will be cool.

CoastalWx Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 There might be a few flurries or a squall coming through srn NH and possibly ne mass later on. A very brief cool shot may make it down into ORH-BOS briefly this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do it in the summer, when we have no severe wx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be able to hold itself together during the day today as it heads SE. At least a period of enhanced snow shower activity along with it.

That's what I think as well. You can push the air up with your hands and generate fluff if you have the moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can push the air up with your hands and generate fluff if you have the moisture. yeah i think this light stuff has been modeled off/on for quite some time, iirc...about a week ago some guidance had this feature hooking up with last night's disturbance and producing a bit of norlun feature over SNE. unfortunately it just didn't evolve very well.

Snowstorms Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It was f*cking 60F yesterday in Calgary, compared to a normal high of 26F....thats WAY above avg. Winter is no where to been seen across North America expect the FAR north. And if you think thats bad, it was 54F in Edmonton yesterday compared to a normal high of 17F with a overnight low of 28.4F yesterday compared to a normal of -4F. A pattern change can't come any sooner but hopefully by mid-month as some models depict, there will be widespread below normal anomalies across Western North America.

moneypitmike Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Been snowing here all day--ranging from light to moderate. Managing to get a coating. Forecast for mostly sunny with 20% chance of snow showers seems to be a fail. 28.5/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
