dendrite Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 24.2F and the heaviest snow yet...probably under 1/2SM right now. Huge dendrites and sectored plates right now on top of the crap we had over the last 2 hours. CON is 1/2SM SN at 10a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Looking back at yesterday, even the EC 00z run from the 11th had 4 to 4.5" possible if you believe those maps I put out. it got close to 0C at 800-750mb, but never got there. Proves if the setup is there, you shouldn't always be too pessimistic..despite the winter trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 complete dendritic rippage in progress. 3" @ 7:45 3.5 @ 9:45 4.0@ 10:10. temp still dropping...24.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineedsnow Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I had them to about 10 minutes ago.. valley ftw for once im hoping that stuff just south of hartford will change me over again MASSIVE flakes now...all snow again, lol. I have no idea what is going on aloft, but its producing parachutes. you can even see them sort of on the holy cross webcam came several miles to my south http://www.holycross.edu/webcam/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what is going on aloft, but its producing parachutes. you can even see them sort of on the holy cross webcam came several miles to my south http://www.holycross.edu/webcam/ I think there were signs that this would have a prolonged period of a thin 0-0.5C layer on the cooler guidance. With those heavier echoes coming through it must be just perfect for you to get the little additional cooling you need for those huge, wet aggregates aloft. With the CAD cranking now it turned out relatively perfect there (all things considered). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Bow Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 complete dendritic rippage in progress. 3" @ 7:45 3.5 @ 9:45 4.0@ 10:10. temp still dropping...24.8 The band must be weakening when it gets toward me and redeveloping when they get to you. Best snowfall rate I've had today was low end moderate. Same end result pretty much as I have 3.5 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 How does Pete do it? That place is unreal It's like the winter twilight zone up there. When he said 6" earlier i thought he might ave been looking at the wrong side of the ruler. lol The guy who delivers our wood is up in Heath about 20mi due N of Pete and he tells me the same sort of stories. He said even this winter they have flurries several times a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJBASHB Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Easily over three inches here, just eyeballing. I measured a general 2" around 7:30. The wind is causing it to drift a bit despite it being a heavier snow. I can still see some blades of grass poking through on one side of the house...which is annoying. Still all snow at the moment, temp bouncing between 30 and 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman21 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Sun is out here. Reminds me of the last few minutes of a summer thundershower where there's still some rain coming down while the sun is brightly shining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the CAD cranking now it turned out relatively perfect there (all things considered). I wish I looked at the euro further, but I wasn't on srfc wx desk. The other models were too warm, despite the GFS hinting at it too. The euro halting the advancement of the 50 0C isotherm was a signal. I think every model had soundings close to or above 0C at 800mb when the euro had the line down towards Kevin. I just altered my normal euro product to show 800mb temps, this morning.

TOOTH Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Dry snow came to Sugarloaf at about 9am. Snowing pretty well now. Dry fluffy right now.

moneypitmike Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Flake quality has really dwindled the past 20 minutes, ftl. Radar suggests it should intensify in the next half hour and then a break before the next CT band moves in. Not sure what p-type will be in place for the band in CT now. Can we continue to hold on to the snow? Not so sure. 30.3/30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 jeff undoubtedly getting destroyed. great radar returns in and south of Lewiston. Yeah--that looks great. I think they may need to expand the warnings there to cover the coast--still only 27 at PWM, 24 in Wiscassett (granted that airport is away from the water). Not so sure they'll be mixing like they had expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
