40/70 Benchmark Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Ugh, all the heavy returns have washed out before getting here and we're stuck with just light to moderate snow. Think I might start a download of Sarah McLachlan's Greatest Hits. 'It's beginning to look a lot like $hitmas" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Excruciating for snow lovers by etauntons digs. Was clearly snowing a few hundred feet up but just couldn't flip to snow. Still a few sog flakes even at the Bourne bridge. I'd have to think that next band is the warm mislevel air unless that's been cutoff already hence the weaker returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmfm Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 About 2", incredibly wet, pasty glop. Still snowing, probably change over within the hour. What a nasty dryslot. (Warwick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 5" of new snow here with light snow and 31F. The temperature is slowly rising so I expect the change to rain to happen shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 QPF isn't the issue here... remember most models were 1.75"+ in total. That stuff south of Long Island has gotta move through pre-dawn through the morning tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patfan1987 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Off to bed. Pouring snow at 32.0 in Tyngsborough. I would say 1.5 to two inches on the deck. I hope to wake up to 6+ in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I might start a download of Sarah McLachlan's Greatest Hits. This reminds me of you the night me and the other Ryan (from Atkison) were worried about whether school would be cancelled on the 4/1/11 storm...you told us to throw out the calculators...were getting creamed with a foot...I agreed. We got about 4"'of paste and school went on as planned lol. A lot of meltdowns and disaster posts that night too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Wildcat yes. Ossipee I doubt. Shadowed on too many sides for big numbers. I think Jeff up in LA will do well....15+ but CON-ORH may be less than expected. I think we will be fine here Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomNH Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 'It's beginning to look a lot like $hitmas" Hate to say this storm can f*ck off so early but I don't know. The 12-18'' from BOX always seemed high but at this point I'm wondering if I'll hit 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Liking my latitude right now. Getiing the feeling that radar keeps backfilling for a while. Dumping straight vertical snow, will walk the dog and take another measurement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Basically means that the CCB banded mode of the storm tomorrow afternoon can't skimp And that the areas who were banking on front end are screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I got like 4 hours of sleep and went to school in a terrible mood after taking pics of the 3-4" of paste. I had a chem test which made everything that much worse. Terrible day.

40/70 Benchmark Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Snowgorwth finally looks better....about 3/4" down, and starting to stack a bit. 32.2/31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Was it 4/1/11 or like Feb. something/11 because 4/1/11 went as planned as far as I remember. 2/2/11 was the storm with all the weenie 15-20" totals where Scott (coastalwx) and I were trying to fight off getting slammed by weenies for saying those totals were out to lunch because it was a classic WCB SWFE with a very obvious dryslot that would work in after 6 hours. But the models were obsessed with printing out 2" of qpf. It was one of those few times where it was easy to throw out the model qpf. Still a very good storm, but a lot of expectations in CNE were unreasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12-18'' from BOX always seemed high but at this point I'm wondering if I'll hit 5. No offense to BOX, but like we said...ain't happening. I might be high for Will and def Ray. There were some red flags. It will work out for the Rev though. I think you still need to see what the stuff south of LI does. That still needs to work in.

OKpowdah Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Sam...are you surprised we've stayed 100% snow in this crazy dryslot? Could be a situation where you're getting the snow now originating in the cold layer below the dryslot ... terrible snow growth, but still snow and not sleet.

N. OF PIKE Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 0z hrrr prints out max precip in east slope of n orh hills over 4 inches qpf also for the western monads wow. paints the spine of the greens with 2.5 to 3 inches qpf up thru mansfield. with a few weenie spots (like near ryan/killington 3.5 qpf) n whites do well. and foothills nw of portland 3 inches qpf over large swath lol wow, SORRY to even post that garbage not that i believe it, it just serves to show upslope spots a bit better and where max qpf will be in general i find the BTV 4km WRF to be pretty accurate on qpf totals wrt some events powder freak has shown on upslope snows. here a more realistic weenie band of 1.5 to 1.75 over killington peak area and another peak over by wildcat mtn from upslope type snows. look at 128 corridor boston North somewhat concerning to me, my gf's basement floods like a mother and it's printing out 3-3.5 qpf come on ? i hope not wow!

Still a very good storm, but a lot of expectations in CNE were unreasonable. Yeah I'm pretty sure I remember the NAM printing out like 1.5'' of snow like the night of the storm which led to obvious disappointment. Anyway it's SN here for the time being at least. Gonna need as much help as possible at this point it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the morning of 2/2 was a snow/sleet /slop/rain 2-4" mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
