CoastalWx Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Thanks man. Someone should definitely do a post-analysis and figure out what kind of instability and banding we were dealing with. I know the main band was mainly "700mb frontogenesis" and we had good -EPV. Most likely, we had CSI banding in the TROWAL but with the upper low nearby, it is possible other forms of instability canceled out the CSI, especially down in my area. It was regenerating quite a bit and the band near NYC got a boost from that dryslot destabilizing things I think. I noted some CSI in the bands to the east of the main band approaching Jersey shore in the morning. Look at the OKX sounding and that unstable layer at 00z.

powderfreak Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Extremely windblown, hard to tell, maybe 6-7". Some drifts of 15"+ On mobile device so cant see locations, but you're in Tolland right? Looks like Blizz is far and above the winner in that area.

powderfreak Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Thanks Steve. I think Coventry measured under his deck To be fair to him, his obs aren't far off from ChrisM and Weenie Radar which are both in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowwoman Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 We ended up with a little over 7" in Ansonia! probably after a little compaction I didn't get out there until after 7 am this morning again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Just the magic of SNEs Mt. Mansfield do not fear it. lol I believe Blizz...that band just went to town. It's also hard with a lot of drifting. But I'm not sure we should call out folks who have low measurements as doing something wrong, lol. The last thing we want is everyone going higher and higher for fear of being told they are measuring under a deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got dryslotted to death but I am not hanging myself. I thoroughly enjoyed this storm. High winds blinding periods of snow, huge waves, friends with jackpots and no shoveling.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Still wondering about those dry air comments last nite. Just a great storm. Nice to get November back to wintry month. Now if we can just get Morch back Not much to wonder about, dry air flooded in on a N wind and kept most of W. MA in 8-10 hours of heavy, heavy virga. N of I-90 and W of the Quabbin, including high elevations saw little if any snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Thanks Steve. I think Coventry measured under his deck I just drove up Paulk Hill and surrounding area and it looks like maybe 6" of snow is on the ground there, no discernable difference between my town and Tolland. And no I did not measure under my deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
