It's Always Sunny Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Always sunny, what are u thinking for lowell-lawrence area I'm expecting Lowell to get some snow once it hits this area but it should start mixing tonight and be rain by tomorrow. I haven't had a chance to look at soundings yet but I'd be interested to find out how those pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 The weenie flakes occasionally have a couple fat aggregated dendrites mixed in. Kind of weird. Probably some spotty lift punching higher into the DGZ. Radar isn't even showing that much. Low level stuff mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we got a stronger low to develop off the coast and avect some of that down would have done it, But with it more of a SWFE its a slow drain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Always Sunny Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 According to GFS soundings it looks like between 06-09Z pose the best chances for any sort of sleet. It sucks cause Lowell is right on that 850mb benchmark line so it could really go either way depending on how soon those winds advect into the area.

mahk_webstah Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 started around 10:30 with very light graupel or snow grains...dunno, but they weren't ice and you could here them. Now light snow with some of that harder stuff still mixed in. Flakes are very small. Real cold and has the look of the stat of snowstorm. I'm going down to Logan later so you'll have to depend on Dendrite for the obs up here, as well as Jeff and Eric downstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was moving more ESE when it got near N Maine rather than SE or SSE which would have really pressed colder/drier air southward. Similar to 12/16/07...that one actually had less impressive temps in northern Maine...but due to trajectory, we had a lakes cutter essentially turn into a big SWFE with high snow totals. Worse trajectory in this one makes for not as much CAD resistance. There will still be plenty of CAD, but just not as good as it could have been.

PWMan Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Light powdery snow broke out in the Portland area a couple hours ago. Perfect dendrites, and whisps of snow blowing around on the road. Will enjoy it while it's here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 SR days and days of snow, feet and feet. What a great setup for skiers. Not sold on the next one being warm up there either. Sweet, road trip next Friday Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Merrimack Valley area might be getting something shortly... I think the valley's good for a few inches. Especially north of the border. Interestingly, the WSI RPM really cranks with 5-6" there (and has been consistently showing that much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
