radarman Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 just a hair under 6 inches here at 715 elev, two miles away at my brothers hes got 3 inches, hes at 500 ft, 200+ ft elev ftw, if we can get another band in here we'll break 6 inches nice job man. I'm at similar elevation 30 miles WNW and just a trace here. Btown behaves more like CEF and Will hit it on the head with his analysis of CEF earlier. Couldn't saturate the column in the Valley. Eastern side of the Quaboag hills are better for snow, more like ORH and occasionally TOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 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. Can see that on CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 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. I measured 3" about 45 min ago..maybe an hour ago. Coming down good right now though. We might have a shot at 6" here. ORH took longer to start snowing than where you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY 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. That's the thing, despite the W Ma shutout I'm psyched many folks are seeing snow tonight especially with the evolution of the storm providing a lot of surprised weenies. In 5 years out here last year was the only year under 50" so I'm not concerned about an early swing and a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 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? I'm doing pretty good, got steady light to moderate snow falling. ZR would be bad news here though, I just looked and its 26 degrees. yikes!

ChrisM Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 those echoes around RI look to be drying up pretty bad no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherX Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 These pellets will cap my totals. I'll call it 4" even though more might fall later. Simply Stupendous Snow Storm..... Enjoy everyone who's in line to receive yours..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJonesWX Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Heavy, heavy nothing. Temp up to 38F with dews in the single digits. Tough being on the outside looking in. not a flake here just north of concord. sitting at 34, I think that was about the high temp today. pretty funny seeing the posts not to far south of us with measurable snow, and nothing here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 nice job man. I'm at similar elevation 30 miles WNW and just a trace here. Btown behaves more like CEF and Will hit it on the head with his analysis of CEF earlier. Couldn't saturate the column in the Valley. Eastern side of the Quaboag hills are better for snow, more like ORH and occasionally TOL. Even the Berkshires and the Monads got killed by the dry air. Not often you see the SNE mountains get shutout in a Nor'Easter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I have an early meeting tomorrow so I'm heading to bed but I took one last measurement...5.1" on the snow board. Lets see if that dry slot to my SW can stay there and I can stay under the better echos as she rotates out of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 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. Yeah, wasn't expecting anything more than flakes mixing in to be honest. Even the Euro wasn't totally sold for my area, NAM flopped back and forth on warmth, and the GFS alone cannot be trusted. Weird how it's really thrown itself together. I'm thrilled. Wine.

radarman Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Even the Berkshires and the Monads got killed by the dry air. Not often you see the SNE mountains get shutout in a Nor'Easter. Yup. I feel similarly to you, which is to say, I'm not mad about it. Good to see people getting on the board early. Taste of winter to take the edge off the warmup.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Gusts back into the low/mid 60s. House shaking, up to a few thousand now out of power in SE MA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Who's window you looking out of? Tough to pin your location down these days..... I'm at school at UConn in Storrs, home should be getting nailed right now though, there's a very nice band that set up shop directly over my house lol. I'm afraid we might be cooked soon at UConn though, that dryslot is nasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'll be interested to here the post mortem on this storm, and why a 2-4" storm turned into a general 3-8" for a wide area (still TBD, could be more) with lollies higher...looks like some echoes moving north now...maybe I'll see some flakage soon...

ORH_wxman Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I dont knwo what just happened...but we just got two massive gusts of wind and the snow is coming down way harder than it was before...even though the radar hasn't really changed...some sort of fundamental shifts in the radar to ground truth just occured. Pretty cool. Absolutely ripping now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I may be mistaken but I think the GFS had this storm as an eastern snow producer back before Sandy made landfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHT has a dewpoint fo 10F, lol. Not sure its snowing there or anywhere north...maybe higher terrain is choking out a few flakes. PSM finally started snowing...mixing with RA.

Taste of winter to take the edge off the warmup. So bizarre how bad they are getting killed in the valley. BAF is 34/21 (!!) with RA-. That dewpoint depression is gross considering at one point they were snowing pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
