Clinch Leatherwood Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 LOL at you saying weenie goggles. I think Kevin means the stuff moving into srn CT on regional composite radar, but that may not move further north than where it is. Looks like it's still nudging north a bit. http://radar.weather...101111&loop=yes BTW this little collapse SE of the first shield before the other one builds "back" a bit was well modeled.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 getting some big flakes now...sticking a bit to grass and colder surfaces. Looks like I will get my coating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlestonNYC Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Driving up to Providence. Rest stop in Exeter, RI. Everything white, snowing, about an inch. Marked difference after elevation gain. Sent from my PC36100 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was. This is when earlier I was referring to that mid-level fronto stuff in NE PA/SE NY getting shredded a bit as it tried to come over us...then we'd have to wait for the late blooming stuff this evening if we wanted more precip that was more than light nuisance stuff. Not all that optimistic on that stuff outside of RI/SE Ma, but there will be a BL struggle there (except hills of RI) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlestonNYC Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 About 25 miles SW of Providence, almost 600' high! SN conditions and closing in on 2". Beautiful out! Sent from my PC36100 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metagraphica Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Temp hit 33 around 3:30pm and snow finally started accumulating. Bigger flakes now and down to 32.2. Car and truck are white now. Roads are still just wet but that will change soon if this snowfall rate continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Looks like those heavier echoes miss me and Coventry just to the south. That probably could have whitened up the roads at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxsniss Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 417pm Box not going with the more bullish amounts, as most here thought (electronic dictation typos ftl?): Models... 12z models are in general agreement with the 18z NAM being the warmest model in terms of thermal profile while the GFS is the coolest. Decided to blend the two together...which is close to the European model (ecmwf). For the quantitative precipitation forecast...models have indicated a good swath across Rhode Island and into interior southeast mass. The GFS had the most quantitative precipitation forecast with both the NAM and the ec having a lesser amount. Decided to blend the rfc quantitative precipitation forecast with the NAM to get a good interpretation of current with some wiggle room. Forecast...surface low will track from the middle Atlantic to the benchmark overnight continuing precipitation south of the Mass Pike. Models are indicated an inverted trough signature as well as good lift across northern Rhode Island and interior southeast mass. This is due to the deepening low pressure system. First thought was to issue an advection especially for the evening commute. However appears better moisture wont get into the area until after 00z...past the commute hours. Also limiting factors is the models are not indicating a lot of quantitative precipitation forecast across the said region as they where before and the instability within the snow growth layer is minimal as well. If temperatures where a lot cooler then would go ahead as believe snow will stick. But with the low confidence decided to hold off as the snow fall will not be significant enough to accumulate over advection criteria. For snow totals have a good 1-2 inch swath across CT into mass...with isolated higher amounts of 2+ inches across the hills of Rhode Island and in interior southeastern mass.

ORH_wxman Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Snow is trying to make its final run north now it appears over CT...that might be just a bit of omega getting thrown northward like some of the guidance indicated. It appears the best though will be further SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I wonder if the higher terrain like Sharon and Foxboro can clean up for a 6hr period. Earlier by Blue Hill, there was a coating around 300'. You can see the meat of the omega moving north, but I wonder if it gets to the latitude of those areas mentioned.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 12z GFS was brutal with that little feature for RI. Gone on the 18z AWT. It'll be fun to watch the nexrad from Portland and Taunton show heavy snows out over the ocean for 12 hours Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I wonder if the models are picking up on that northern stream disturbance over Iowa? If not its probably the kicker disturbance now that I think about it and is what finally allows this low to go to town over Atlantic Canada.

radarman Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 No white on the grass until you get up to about 650'. Areas where it started accumulating early, frozen dirt piles, mulch, etc., there's a solid inch, but officially it probably should go down as a T because there's no measurable generally.

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 All we are witnessing is how close we came to a monster storm system, the period was right 27-29th but just not the right pieces coming together, they were apart for just too much and now Atlantic Canada is going to see one heck of a storm.
