ORH_wxman Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 We are parachuting now....ripping huge aggregates...must be an inch now...this stuff accumulates fast, but also means the end is near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 3" of new snow now, but we are beginning to mix with sleet as snowflakes are of the partially melted and refrozen variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Meanwhile out here we have dropped 1.5 degrees in the last half hour. Now 29.1F and the snow flakes are smaller. Some drifting. Interesting. I don't have a good temperature reading here... but I can see the very gradual shift of the snowfall consistency. There were a lot of dendrites when we were seeing those massive flakes earlier, but there are a lot more needles and partially melted then refrozen snowflakes falling right now. We are probably pretty close to a changeover to sleet right now. Edit: Took a quick trip outside... and yep, we are over to sleet and now some raindrops mixing in. This changeover is occurring rather quickly! We are above freezing downtown, so once we go over to rain, we should start to see the melting process underway. With about 1.5" though, I'm certainly not complaining giving my expectations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Echoes are still washing out noear Oxford or just a bit south, so we should hold onto snow for a good 20-30 minutes longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Got a report of 5 inches at the 2k foot level in the Eastern Catskills. I'm sure I'm over 3 inches.... I missed the heaviest echoes that went over ALB an hour ago and it's unfortunate because it would have been a better snow here at 29 degrees. Congrats, Rick--you're doing pretty well with this! Wind gusting to 15mph from 74* 30.6/30 Looks like BOX put out a more tepid map than the earlier one that hit GC really hard. I'll (we all) take what we can get.

CoastalWx Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Snowing hard in Londonderry NH per co-worker, but 10 miles south on 93 and it gets wet until it becomes a very wet snow/mix here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 moderate snow. temp has dipped quite a bit.... 25.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Snow still coming down good here with blowing. Odd thing is we keep dropping...now 28.4. I think we have some siphoning down the Upper Hudson/Champlain Valleys underway - at least at this elevation. We are parachuting now....ripping huge aggregates...must be an inch now...this stuff accumulates fast, but also means the end is near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Echoes still washing out to the south...so holding onto huge ripping aggregrates here I odn't think that's the true dry slot approaching (is it?). But I'm wondering if perhaps we''ll might finish this first round as snow. Hate to think of how warm it will be when the next batch in NJ works up here if that's the case. Managed to cool just the slightest--30.4/29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 -sn in lowell 33 but doesn't look like in going to accumulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 1.4" and counting fast right now. The end is close as the yellow 40dbz echoes have advanced to the pike instead of washing out just south near Oxford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 OT, but I just noticed that BOX has accum of up to an inch for here tomorrow. I'll take that an drun. Snowing moderately, flakes are looking pretty darn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil882 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Weird... I though the WAA would flood in now, but we are back over to mainly snow in this heavier band. Pretty significantly lull coming up though, so after this final band that will probably be it in terms of total accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 3" of new snow now, but we are beginning to mix with sleet as snowflakes are of the partially melted and refrozen variety. Hey Mitch, no mix noted here yet. Nicely formed flakeage 3.5" so far and still coming down at a good clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 The back edge of the main shield has now advanced above the pike in western MA. Looks like we'll have a break later. And has been stated by others, perhpas the end of our accumulations as the next round is not likely to be of the accummulating variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 33/30 here in Stafford Springs, CT. It was coming down pretty good for a time....not sure what the total was but it looked like 0.5 - 1" when the plows came by and woke me up again. It was nice seeing the S+ but the big thing is the wind right now. Nice gusty winds out there. Both my stations in Union over 1000' are still below 32° so there may be some icing up there but those are isolated spots on north facing slopes.
