The dual polarity radar seems excellent just cant find it free any where, but according to the weatherfroind radar i should have been sleet for a grip now but it jas been 90% snow and i havent budged from 30/25, need to hold on for those echos and hope we stay snow. Im at the corner of waterbury near the prospect/ naugatuck lines, so i have a bit of elevation

Google "unidata IDV". Download it. You can view dual pol products with it for free.

There is NOTHING intuitive about the software and I think its a clunky, memory hogging piece of junk but a useful piece of junk that can do some crazy cool things at that. If you have time to play with it, you can make some really nice overlays of model/sat/radar/obs type stuff. Its not AWIPS but you can get AWIPS quality stuff after hours of cursing and fighting with the POS.

It's been a fairly uneventful storm here so far. Not only due to rain but wind has been fairly pedestrian as well. Now it's kind of dryish. An ordinary event at least here.

This next one will get it done for you Jerry (weekend) This one...yawn. Next batch coming through CT looks like pingers, the stuff down here is melted flakes/moosh. Let's hope it wraps up nicely for NNE/CNE as the night moves on as scheduled.

Regardless of what you wish to call it and why....the precip shield blows.

I'm sure we'll here terms like "back build", and " fill in" bandied about....but the reality is that not much accumulation hardly ever results from the aforementioned phenomena.

Not going to matter much for parts of SNE in terms of snow. As the 7h/8h lows rotate east tonight we'll see precip redevelop/develop over NE MA, NH/ME/VT. Should be gangbusters up there later this evening into Thursday. But I agree, this was the time for SNE to make hay and have big snow totals and this radar isn't going to get it done.

Radar looks thin overhead but everytime I step out it's SN then the wind will gust up high and it's SN+ with mixed dendrites.

Yeah even with the shred precip intensity hasn't seemed to wane much here either. Not sure how long that's gonna last though.

No there isn't ... redevelopment doesn't happen in dry slot synoptics - come on!

Lol...well we have lulls in the WCB stuff right now...but I think its going to keep filling in rapidly over the next 2 hours.

The true dryslot is over E PA right now.
