We're getting upslope aggregates now...I can tell so easily...the snowgrowth just changed a bit, and now some fat ones mixed in with smaller ones from the weaker lift just entering the region. Its kind of cool looking actually. I think the upslope component is going to be really obvious norht of me in the weenie ridge area...where it snows like 3/4 SN- when radar returns are not very good.

That was the 2 part storm where part 1 trended into a nice all day 1'"/hour 6-9" event. And the morning of 2/2 was a snow/sleet /slop/rain 2-4" mess.

Yes...that event dropped 12.2" here but like 7.5" of it fell on 2/1, lol...when most of it was supposed to fall on 2/2. Still ended up well for us...but north of us who missed part 1, it was a bust somewhat...more like a 7-10" event instead of the unreasonable 16-20" event some were expecting out of a 6 hour thump.

I think people are getting confused. The precip coming up over and off SE MA was never really supposed to wrap up into NH....look at the 0z GFS, that shoots out ENE. It's overnight and into the day that more precip develops and wraps in. Two different phases of the storm.

Yeah the bulk is thurs here as the storm wraps up over CC, This is 02z HRR total snowfall @17z thurs...........

Just because the radar shreds doesn't mean "dry slot" - what 's actually happening is the 2ndary is taking over and that is pinching off the WCB -related isentropic lift.

LOL this is exactly the discussion I had about a storm a couple years ago ... arguing that the term "dry slot" should be reserved for the synoptic feature that has significance in the larger time scale of the storm.

Some people (and I do it sometimes too) use it to describe any shredded dry region of the radar returns

and then 2 posts later "Patsrule417" writes, "Dryslot for the loss" - ugh.
