#NoPoles Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 light rain here...have a rain sensor on the auto-skylight and it just closed itself...hoping to ease into the downpours so my fertilizer doesn't just get washed away before soaking in...the radar sure looks impressive...it's been a while since we've seen a precip shield like that... i'm actually excited!

dendrite Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Anyone up for a trip to Johnstown? I think JST is going to get rocked. Yeah...the areas with a little elevation around there will get thumped. It could be 31-32F even in the middle of the afternoon tomorrow there and snowing heavily.

Mr Torchey Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Some exceptional light rain over the last two hours, nice soaking rain, hopefully soften up the ground for the incoming deluge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 The rain this afternoon is almost PRE-like with some synoptic scale UL divergence and increasing low level frontogenesis well ahead of the main show off the FL coast. The thing looks gorgeous on water vapor and has an overperformer kind of look where mesoscale banding goes to town! I mentioned this yesterday, Andy on his Tandy with the Pre. I am wondering if trees in the spring are more resilient to breakage due to massive uptake of water and being greener, fall is the opposite. I saw Nicks post about how a previous heavy April heavy snow was not that damaging, just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Deformation band plus moist upslope flow = no power for 7+ days..lol. Yeah that's disgusting out there...the saving grace is a lot of that terrain is 1-2K feet and higher, so I gotta imagine leaf out isn't as far along up there in those towns SE of BUF.

I saw Nicks post about how a previous heavy April heavy snow was not that damaging, just a thought. There's definitely merit to this...Tamarack mentioned I think that in the spring the trees are stronger with nutrients and sap running full tilt, while in October the trees are shutting down, drying out, and becoming more brittle.

powderfreak Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Yeah it was the 33-34F 1/8SM paste that did us in on 10/29 lol I still can't believe you had over a foot on the valley floor in that one...epic. What will make this storm historic is if the low elevations get in on it, like BUF or PIT metro areas. Getting 12-20" at 2,200ft is one thing but at 600ft it's a whole other ballgame.

Mr Torchey Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I was shocked to see that BOS has not had a single negative daily departure this month. Sitting at +7.5, in a month where some thought we would see some cooler weather. Thankfully this storm is going to break the monotony at least for a day, and more importantly giving the parched earth a much much needed drink.

Yeah it was wild. Turns out that the lower elevations had quite a bit more damage because the snow was heavier and the trees had more leaves on them. The 2 feet up at 1200 ft did much less damage than the 12-16" in the valley towns west of Hartford (Farmington, Avon, Simsbury, West Hartford, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Chilly morning here. It was 39° F earlier, but has now risen into the low 40s. Eagerly anticipating a nice drought busting rain here as we really need it like the rest of you. I had about 0.26" of rain overnight from round 1. Expecting about 2-3" of rain here from the main event. Great Miller A event, but if this were winter, SNE would not be getting the big snows with this type of track. It would probably be a quick front end dump followed by rain/sleet and dryslot. These NNW tracks are rather unusual. Someone out in the Laurel Highlands of PA and Alleghenies of WV is going to get smoked. Lacking llv thickness gradients is a big reason in that ... Not unusual for latter April, either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hopefully we can get some winds to crank out of the east later tonight, like Ryan said easterly facing beaches should have some minor coastal flooding. Storm surge guidance is sort of meh but it has a sneaky look to it... particularly after hours of piling into the sound this with a peak of the winds around 6z right near high tide.

Ginx snewx Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Some of us have been mocked repeatedly for the bookender thoughts we expressed starting in Feb. granted not yet but as has been the experience of non winters before there always seems to be a blockbuster to end winter once and for all. NNE this week could be blitzed by a GOM storm. Nice ending before we enter summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 feet up at 1200 ft did much less damage than the 12-16" in the valley towns west of Hartford (Farmington, Avon, Simsbury, West Hartford, etc.) Agree. CEF had 15" of pure paste and the lower valley had a tremendous amount of tree damage, a lot of which is stll visible in these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
