Mr. Windcredible! Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I wonder if that stuff coming off the sound is rain, freezing rain would suck We are sleet here now...a flip to fzra or plain rain wouldn't surprise me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I wonder if that stuff coming off the sound is rain, freezing rain would suck Obviously some warming aloft, or perhaps its the convcective elements but a 50/50 mix of snow and sleet as its dinging off the north facing windows, this was a total treat.

RIcoastalWX Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I wonder if that stuff coming off the sound is rain, freezing rain would suck 32.7/29 - temp and dewpoint at it's lowest in this event but surprisingly the stuff coming in from the SE is mainly sleet with some snowflakes mixed in. No rain. 1/2" of slush is the total down here now that the precip seems to have flipped to sleet. Winds have been howling for the past 2 hours - frequent gusts over 50 with not much break in between. Taunton's forecast for here never mentioned a flake or an ice pellet here locally yet that's basically what we've had since 3pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I think you may be shut out. Maybe some flurries or a period of light snow...but it just can't get in there enough to moisten the atmosphere. Taken from a weather weenie perspective it sucks that I get no snow but walking the dog earlier the N winds were howling and dry to the point of tking my breath away. Great storm evolution for the weenies S and E of here. Can only hope this is a microcosm of how the winter goes because I'll take my chances with coastal L's moving into cold dry air to the N.

CoastalWx Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 It will probably switch to a SNPL thing perhaps after 06z in some spots on ern MA. Even sleet in the obs near BDR per peeps here. That dryslot is also a warm tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOSTA Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE! Was caught off-guard which rarely happens. New truck not winterized (no scraper). Roads are very, very icy Viva la winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 There's still some good mid-level forcing contributing to the bands in the interior and E MA...you can see them regenerating as they pivot NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grinch1989 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Grinch I tweeted your picture to NWS and media, unreal No problem and to answer your first question the table did have the most from 9"-10.5" measurement. The other measurements were away from the house, though the wind is cranking now and very hard to measure. Fooking Grinch will get 14". Wow. Mesoscale banding FTW. 14" was my snowtober final, would be epic to do it again... Just cought a couple pingers in the face out there..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you have any faith in those 4 km NAM maps that showed this stuff sticking around til 9 am? Last IMBY post I promise haha. This was just a nice surprise.

OceanStWx Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 It will probably switch to a SNPL thing perhaps after 06z in some spots on ern MA. Even sleet in the obs near BDR per peeps here. That dryslot is also a warm tongue. There were some waves of precip that was melting a lower levels, but for the most part there is a subtle melting layer trying to show up with the warm nose above 5500 ft (SW of BOX over LI). So that matches up well with PL rather than ZR for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 You think we stay all snow here? You'll probably stay snow until 12z anyways. However if it really lets up and it becomes more banded in nature, it may signify temps aloft warming and you'll get some IP or even a little ZR.

Taunton's forecast for here never mentioned a flake or an ice pellet here locally yet that's basically what we've had since 3pm. hard to remember a major storm in Westerly that did not have sleet. I wonder if that gust that just scared everyone in my house including dogs was a convective downburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 There's still some good mid-level forcing contributing to the bands in the interior and E MA...you can see them regenerating as they pivot NW. They keep firing right over the canal. Lots of street flooding here. Seas are running 20-30 feet even in the northern part of Cape Cod Bay. We have not had those peak 70-85mph gusts here, but overall this storm rates as worse in terms of length of time of constant, nasty winds and rain vs Sandy. There's very little time between gusts we've essentially had tropical storm force winds for hours. Falmouth is back to my SW and inland a bit, up near the water it's been a steady sand pelting 40-45 mph for several hours with gusts into the low to mid 60s. This is really impressive for Otis.

CoastalWx Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Pretty nice dendrites here. About half inch of cement. Wet snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I feel ya. Hang though. Surely, you'll get yours this winter (when many of us get the shaft). This is an early season freakshow. I've had plenty of snow the last 5 years including some big jackpots so no one has to feel sorry for me...I'm not even sorry for me. It's just always more boring on the sidelines.Congrats again to all of you though. Quite the overperformer in spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherX Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 gravity waves? Ginx thinks so.....it's ripping snow here though....couple of pellets mixed in......I've been nude since 1pm, just as an aside. How you doing Chris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisStraight Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 There's still some good mid-level forcing contributing to the bands in the interior and E MA...you can see them regenerating as they pivot NW. Snow picked up a bit here in the last few minutes, should easily break 6 inches, what do you have in Worc Will? I was there this afternoon and theres not much happening except for some decent winds.

summerthyme Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 picked up in intensity and flake size here in the past few minutes. i'd estimate 2-2/14 inches on the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
