CoastalWx Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 This was a weird storm in many places. OKC, CLE..all with busts one way or another. I did notice the models have convection and elongated low to the east...Tip and I were talking about that...I wonder what role if any that played in the advective processes. Models did have an elongated low under LI that looked quite elongated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Some good calls buy more conservative OCMs. They may have been too conservative for CT, but Harvey did a decent job here..even Noyes. Although, I think part of it was due to the fractured precip shield. The higher amounts would have verified inland if it weren't for that...and models handled this poorly.

I was really against the balls to the wall calls yesterday. It looked like one of those deals where a lot could go wrong. So when I saw weenies throwing around 14", 18", lollies to 24" I just cringed. I told my mom yesterday that I liked 6-8" in MHT and 8-12" up here. Right now I only have 2-2.5" and it is blowing and drifting everywhere. It's still snowing lightly though. I only had 0.25" liquid from the snow core so QPF is appearing to bust. Oh well, they happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, they happen. Those numbers were plain nuts. However, I thought ORH would do better than 4.5 or whatever they had..even Ray's area I thought would do better. And your area? LOL..good lord. I agree about the red flags..they were there...but luckily models suck from time to time. Job security. The only area that worked out from my view is Kevin and here. I honestly did not envision this precip shield looking like dog sh*t. I mean models did race the dryslot north, but still...this is fractured garbage. Maybe the fact the models raced the deep layer RH nwd was a red flag. I've seen it before with these WCB storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomNH Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Also looks like about 4" out there at most. F*ck that, back to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Just got woken up by pinging...before 10z...what a POS storm if there ever was one. Dual pol definitely has some sleet working into S NH now. It is washing out over your area though. I can't post loops from radarscope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Congrats to all who said I'd go above 32..It's 33.5 Hopefully we can get temps to settle back down as this mess pulls east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 The GFS is still trying to go to town in SE NH later as the midlevel centers wrap up so hopefully we can add a few more inches. It hasn't been pretty yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Well it worked out here... A minimum of 8 inches out there based on my footprints from my 7" measurement being almost gone. Obviously had a very heavy burst while I got my 90 minutes of sleep.25 and moderate snow now. I see an enhanced area moving nnw toward here..after that who knows how much on the backside of it as the low heads over southeast NE. The GFS is still trying to go to town in SE NH later as the midlevel centers wrap up so hopefully we can add a few more inches. It hasn't been pretty yet.

joey2002 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Based on radar it looks like the Albany area has been getting solid snow for a prolonged period of time. I'm guessing we'll probably be seeing some impressive totals coming from New York State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 It is RIPPING. Nicle-sized flakes. If it were light, I'd probably be calling near white out. Not sure how much snow's come so far. We had about 3-4 when I went to bed at 11:30p.m. But, the wind was blowing it so much (half my deck was blown free!), it was tough to get any good measurements. I'll go out when it gets light and see what I might find. Meanwhile, nary a plow to be seen. The town is only plowing the village these days until the storms stop. Either that or Mark (the plow driver) is away for the holidays. 27.2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormwts1 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 6.25" in "north" Sandown NH as of 5:30 am. Still 28° as the 32° line is 3 miles to our east!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 We were close to 5" before the sleet/rain compacted everything. Amazing snow from 7-11pm. Yeah 5 inches was final total. I was up for the fun last night..We need to drop these temps back to freezing as the low pulls east. May be able to flip back to snow a bit later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 1.5" when I left home at 4:15, blowing snow and unplowed roads were an excellent adventure. GYX still pimping my 'hood for 7-11 during daylight today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I went out and measured 9 inches ,,,now back in bed. Ripping good now. Congrats, Rick! Ripping continues here as well. Per weathertap, the mix line is cutting across Greenfield. Hopefully it can stay down there, or better yet, move east for Chris! 26.9/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Clearly, I've failed (forgotten) how to copy a radar loop. Not sure what I've done worng. But, had this come through, it would show a large heavy batch of precip heading into the area under the snow region. Hopefully, that line holds or pushes back east. SN++,, large flakes . Pile on while it can...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Always Sunny Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 That's crazy how MQE got to 64 kts out of the ENE. That would make sense though there's not much topography between that and the summit albeit it being only 635 ft above ground level. That gust was higher than when Sandy passed through.

It's Always Sunny Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 6" in MHT with a sleet snow mix temp 28 degrees hoping to flip back to snow and a few more inches C Close enough I guess. Rochester is a bit further east so I wonder if they got a tad less? Anyone know a website with real-time totals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
