Rocket Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 An inch in Westborough/Marlborough. Snowing near the lake. Is there any chance that there is enough warmth and rain to wash all the snow from the pavement? If no changeover we're gonna have to plow instead of just using salts.

CoastalWx Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Seems like the snow line is following 850mb 0C isotherm. Warm layer aloft must not be anythi8ng special right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of that was elevation dependent. I had a friend who traveled from Dudley where it was raining into Oxford through back roads, and the roads into Oxford where a mess. Same in CT, my section of town, nothing where I live, but travel NW part of town, 1-2 inches. Question is how far south wil the cold air push? Is it stuck at the pike?

dendrite Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 After a lull it's back down to 1/2-3/4SM as those heavy echoes just to the east of I-93 blow on over here via the NE winds. I'm now at my low temp for the day and still dropping...24.7F. 2.7" new snow 0.2" last hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'm jealous looking at the ZDR just north of ORH.. 0 Db... That means round flakes.. The only flakes I know that are well rounded are the big fluffy kind.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a whiteout as I look out the window, and incredibly windy, not sure why AFN hasn't reported higher winds because it is downright dangerous here.

Snow Bow Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Just went out to take a measure and i've got just over 3 inches. Temp dropping now to 27 here, wind picking up, flakes flying. Best winter ever!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 To try and answer powedefreak's question...there was a bit more snow to the south of ORH than forecast...the Euro was the only model that gave Kevin 1-2" of snow which is what he got...but as for up here...the hills are in an orientation where somehow, the city often is the divider. The WAA always seems to slow when it approaches here...and the hills are the reason why. There is a pretty stour set of ridges just to the SW of ORH, and that might be part of the reason...another might be the spine becomes a little bit more "upright" in this area so upslope may help enhance the cooling...those tenths of a degree can probably matter in these setups...but either way, its fun to see one over perform. I've seen events where it doesn't matter as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 What is causing the gap in the radar between the two precipitation shields? I'm just curious how the lift is fragmented into those two areas of concentrated pcpn? I expected more of a solid wall like most SWFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Note the blue dashed line. This is the 800MB 0C line at 12z. It's actually close to the 850 0C line. Looks like it may have been a little cooler on the euro. I wish I put this out yesterday...might have been a clue to the over performer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
