MaineJayhawk Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 1st call, I am going with 4-8" for here on thurs/thurs night with a couple more possibly on friday with the ULL swinging thru I was just sitting here thinking of telling the work peeps 4-7 or 5-8. Sleet amount will determine high or low range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on what model you want to use, I think coastal areas will possibly mix with some sleet, I could see that happening where you work in portland thats for certain, I am safe here for now pending todays 12z runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Man the UKMET and Canadian especially are awesome for you Maine folks. CMC: Over here we miss the best lift with the first round, but the upper level snows look pretty darn good on a lot of the models. And those big vort max upper level low systems are usually quite profitable. In 12 hours the CMC has around 0.5" of QPF in this area with the upper level low.

powderfreak Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Verifying is the hardest part. I don't like using this reasoning, but climo has to make one of these work out for you guys. You're all far enough north that getting shut-out right now like you are, is a lot more rare than it is in SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah PF, I like where we sit for the moment, The only fly possibly could be some mixing but we have a pretty good CAD signal to our north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be in Portland working, where the wind will be even greater (forecast says gusts to 37), but there is a likelihood of changeover right at the coast edge.

Pull over get out of your car and have a Shawshank Redemption Moment ala Tim Robbinsin the pouring rain when he esapes from prison.

mahk_webstah Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yeah, I saw that Mark, Could be some fun with whitout conditions possibly, What are you calling for over your way? at this point it seems like a 4-8 incher is a solid bet. If I was a forecaster advising people like road crews and plow businesses. I'd say 4-8 inches, may fall heavily in the morning with some blowing and drifting and low visibility. Mixing with sleet is possible in the afternoon and evening. Total accumulations likely 4-8 inches with higher amounts possible in areas that receive mostly snow. Looks like the gradient for significant changeover runs from just south of me near CON due east in S ME...at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good deal for the ski resorts and for the handful of weirdos who snowmobile. Yeah this looking like a good one for that part of ski country as I hear the natural snow terrain at spots like Sunday River and Sugarloaf are struggling... and the Maine foothills do look like ground zero as they usually are in these situations. Should be good for Tamarack, too. I hope you Maine guys get nailed. Ripping pretty good here all the sudden as these 25-30dbz echos move over head. Should have another good burst here in 10-15 minutes as that cluster of 30-35dbz moves into the mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Old school ETA slams all of us pretty good. I've noticed a few model runs have us all the way back up here in NW New England with solid QPF, too. You can see by the time the ETA warms up the H85 level, all precip has left the area. Its a quick 6-9 hour thump of 0.5-1.0" pretty much across all of CNE/NNE. I always loved this model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
