Tropopause_Fold Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 The airmass/min-vortex didn't press that far south was the biggest issue. 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. Yeah you could see the core of lowest thicknesses headed just a hair too far East toward Nova Scotia. Causes two problems - you don't get the true cold stuff to drain in and it also doesn't create the same degree of resistance. It erodes a bit easier and you won't have quite as much lift.

Ginx snewx Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Each run we seem to be getting a few ticks colder as well, That area, The mtns of NW Maine and the Northern Maine county are going to get blasted Could be epic, hopefully for you it continues to tick colder in upper layers.

wxeyeNH Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Does anyone have the 12Z Euro. Curious to see what it shows for wave 2 for C/NNE? Cooler, warmer? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Could be epic, hopefully for you it continues to tick colder in upper layers. Yeah, It looks like those same areas on the 12z Euro get hit again with the friday storm as that one has trended better to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 26F with weenie flakes. the 6 hour forecast from the 12z NAM had it at 34F here at 1pm. I think those 20s are going to be locked into N ORH hills for quite some time. Probably through overnight and into tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modfan Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Will does the CF continue to move north or does CAD start to push it south?? I have dropped here from 34 to 33 light snow/sleet falling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 The 4km NAM has pretty consistently held your area Yeah the really high res meso models have done it...but even the 12km NAM couldnt get it right. It had that 34F. It did try to cool it back to 32F tonight for a time. But we generally know the drill in these setups. Usually hack off about 5-8F on the sfc temps. Sometimes you even have to hack off more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chance for inverted trough snows for much of the period between 12/23-12/25 is there...been there for a few runs with all those spokes of energy rounding the ULL from the 12/21 event. I would not be surprised if that is how we can muster a white Christmas and holiday period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have dropped here from 34 to 33 light snow/sleet falling I don't think its going to move much over the next few hours...if anything a bit more westward. Where you are, it could see some mild drain. You are still prob not saturated all the way either. So evap cooling may drop your temps a bit more. Here, its 26F, but dewpoint is still 20F.
