radarman Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I just saw the PNS claiming 3.5" for Chicopee? Seems highly doubtful. Not a hint of snow OTG in South hadley, Amherst, Belchertown, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 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. In CTBlizz defense Temps are above freezing definitley some settling took place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 90 min delay. They were sledding when I left Did you get a chance to build some epic snow walls on either side of your driveway? I shoveled the deck but blew off the driveway since its likely going to melt today, so wet. Throw up some pics of your sugar walls if you did, I loved those back in 10-11> and congrats.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Thanks Bob. Chris ,Coventry and Cold front are now on ignore Cool then I can ignore your slant stick bogus snow totals for the rest of the season. Where are the pics of this 9" snowfall?

Baroclinic Zone Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 that map is a little off out here considering no one I know of in NW MA recorded even a trace. Well it is a smoothed contour so I am sure there are pockets of nothing out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Did you have a pipe for the cirrus smoking party? LOL. 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. Haha I'll get to repay it this winter...mountain is buried and white so it's all good. I don't doubt variable snowfall...I mean up here you can have differences in feet within a town. And in synoptic rain events you can have one spotter come in with 1" QPF and another next door come in with a half inch. As we all know QPF isn't as evenly distributed as models would like us to believe. It's just we all over analyze snowfall...if it was a rain event and we had 0.6" scattered next to 0.9", no one would notice haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sankaty Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Really hard to measure for a storm like this, but with some melting and compaction, about 5 inches on the driveway, 7 inches on the lawn, and 9.5 inches on the deck. If using proper snowboard measuring techniques, guessing we broke 10". This probably produced slightly more than last October's storm, but far less damage because it was considerably colder, dryer snow, and more leaves are down.

Typhoon Tip Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Too much dry air in the front side of the event, with not enough lift over top to overcome … the result was busting too cold, with lower snow totals up around here. Of course, the models nailed the 34F rain in the latter half, though - haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Ginx that radar image out of BOX says it all, you could convince me a TS was stalled a few miles south of ACK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Son of Sandy is stalled, ACK baro still dropping, no movement on visible. You getting any reports from the South Coast? Northeast winds should have been somewhat of a reprieve for most but still an impressive storm nonetheless. Sustained winds on the Cape are awesome.

Logan11 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 A grand total of 0.2" here from this. All I can keep saying is that the law of averages has to reward me soon....it just has to. Its just been screw-hole, after screw-hole, after screw-hole....I don't give a flying one how many scatter T plots Will can come up with to discredit my assertion. Unreal. I stopped paying attention at about 4pm because the writing was on the wall....as it was for the halloween event last year. Of course, I was warned of the "backside deformation banding" that would traverse the rainbow and make it over to my side.. ..blah blah blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 8.6" reported in Staffordville. 8" in Manchester. 9" in Tolland. Works for me. lol...yeah it's too early in the season for this stuff... I really have no doubt in the differences...QPF is not always that smooth and differences in snowflake type varies from band to band. You guys should all come try to live up here...the bickering would never end with slight changes in wind direction can result in nothing next to feet. Banded storms will always have this issue. What's that storm 40/70 always references where he got a foot and a couple miles away had 3 feet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northeast winds should have been somewhat of a reprieve for most but still an impressive storm nonetheless. Sustained winds on the Cape are awesome. Tremendous blow out tide in progress right now, impressive water height falls as soon as this got east of the south coast, almost like it got sucked out. I have not heard but saw pics of overwash flooding earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 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. Scoots... looking at the 00z OKX sounding you can see that pretty unstable layer just above 700mb at the bottom of the SGZ. With strong frotogenesis and an unstable layer above through the base of the SGZ you're ready to rock in some of those bands. While I can't diagnose CSI without looking at a cross section over the area I'm willing to bet upright/convective instability was the main driver.

Isotherm Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Pic from Monmouth County. They had 12-13" there. Major tree damage and renewed power outages. That band was reminiscent of boxing day - just several hours on end w/ 30-35 dbz echos, then one final blast w/ the enhanced convergence from the NW dry push last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
