Clinch Leatherwood Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Safe to say this storm is surprising or surpassing most expectations from 24-36 hours ago. Temp 39 here, random mood flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thats a really nice band about to hit N Foster. They will probably be the winners in this event if someone held a gun to my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 steady light to moderate rain continues, at least the grass has greened up once again, much needed precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Another WaWa shot of the same lift... the el at my house is similar to here, but further north by a few miles. So hopefully it is getting white at home.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thats a really nice band about to hit N Foster. They will probably be the winners in this event if someone held a gun to my head. That area into adjacent CT is going to get 4-5 there probably with little difficulty. When I looked at the models upon closer inspection, I felt pretty bullish there and into CT. Maybe someone pulls a weenie 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I'd bet you have close to an inch on deck, grass already There's about 1/2" - 3/4" on the grass so far. My deck has inconsistent accumulation with the sun angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Any chance there is enough moisture in this that I can score an inch? You may need to wrap the snow guns from WaWa around your neck of ORH gets into the good stuff. All kidding aside, I think you can grab that..maybe even a hair better, but you are right on the line. Even 10 miles may mean the difference between a coating to half inch and 1-2". It's close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sankaty Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Steady SN- with good snow growth in Middletown, but not yet sticking at 34F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 If you look on radar that band arcing up from ern PA into CT is probably your mid level deformation and frontogenesis band. As you can see, it's different from the band causing the heavier precip and bright banding in NJ. This is likely due to lower level convergence and inflow over NJ. Your mid level deformation band is caused by frontogenesis at this level and air that is forced to rise at a slantwise angle up and to the NW. Usually just NW to this area is a sharp cutoff in QPF, so you see why areas like HubbDave are on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Man we are going to rock. 3-6" for NE CT/N RI/South ORH to slightly east of there. Spot 7-8" reports wouldn't surprise me honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I looked at the models upon closer inspection, I felt pretty bullish there and into CT. Maybe someone pulls a weenie 6. I don't know if I'm quite that bullish. The airmass is ugly so we need legit moderate/heavy snow. Not much stickage below 700 feet right now as I am cruising through the CT DOT webcams. Mostly trees and shrubs with grass starting to get thin coatings. That said, it should ramp up a bit as we go through afternoon. That current band is probably dropping a quick inch near N Foster. I wonder if a place like Foxborough can weenie out later this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterfish55 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Intensity dependent here...precip rate picks up, all snow....slows down, mostly rain with some flakes. I think I'm going to be about 10 miles SE of good accumulating snow this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Light rain and snow mixed here at downtown crossing in BOS. Definitely seems a bit intensity dependent. The flakage looks really nice on the holy cross webcam...hopefully I'll have some good stuff to measure later on back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Temps upstairs must be cooling as the snowflakes are now smaller while the snowfall intensity stayed the same. Snow is trying it's best to accumulate on the roads but is failing here so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if a place like Foxborough can weenie out later this evening. I think those higher spots could do it..the 4-5 anyways, which is what I meant. Areas in a river valley won't, but higher spots might. Foxboro may be interesting later on. I guess it just depends on how much moisture moves in. More snow than rain here now, but 36F.
