Damage In Tolland Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 3-5" calls looking good for all of CT...somewhere may jackpot to 6-7", but I'd like to see other 12z guidance bump up QPF before locking it. SE portion of the state obviously would have the best shot QPF wise...but warmer BL will likely keep ratios down a bit...so jackpot likely inland a bit from there. Probably IJD. Ive often wondered if they've ever jackpotted in any storm in history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Cold air doesn't necessarily mean high ratios...although I'll admit that I haven't checked BUFKIT yet to see how the omega looks in the sgz yet. true but it helps and wouldn't this kind of scenario be suggestive of higher ratios?

dendrite Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 true but it helps and wouldn't this kind of scenario be suggestive of higher ratios? Again, you have to look at the details. You want good omega/lift in the -12C to -18C layer. That is the max dendritic growth zone. If the lift is weak or is outside of that layer, then you get smaller crystals with different habits. Again, I haven't looked at BUFKIT yet.There is also a tendency for a lot of people to call every flake they see a dendrite when the truth is most of the crystals I analyze aren't even of that habit. There's all kinds of regular/irregular crystal formations...i.e. needles, plates, sectored plates, columns, bullets, etc. You really can't tell for sure if it is a dendrite or not from the comfort of your warm living room. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But usually they are hooked together nicely so its usually those dime sized great looking flakes. But yeah, its definitely a technically incorrect phrase to say "dendrites are terrible"...usually that means there aren't any dendrites, lol. Probably ugly needles or plates. We should train everyone to say "dendritic growth is terrible" instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codfishsnowman Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 i got one inch from 11-7-12 4 inches from the last storm, 13-14 inches from the october storm. i have 5.25 inches for the season. there were some reports of up to 2.5 inches on 11-7 but i can tell you truthfully where i am there was just about an inch. How much did you get on 11/7/12? This last storm? 10/29/11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 RGEM is a pretty big hit for most areas...esp east of CT river though even W of river down in CT does pretty well. 0.5"+ for most and more of SE areas. Looks like PYM to TAN would get 0.8-1.0"...Cape has more but probably some BL issues. RGEM is often too wet, but even taking 2/3rds of these numbers would be a warning criteria event for eastern areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
