DomNH Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 :weenie: Well we've got a warning. My being shocked at more than 4'' may be in jeopardy but I'll believe it when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Just getting caught up on things... I'm actually a bit excited about it. Things (for once this year) seem to be breaking in our direction. Thinking 5-9" east and south of Hartford. Less SE CT. 3-6 inches NW CT. Probably a weenie band of 7-11" somewhere in N RI and interior SE Mass. Maybe clipping Windham Co? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised to see the warning...we'll see if it verifies. Hopefully we get a nice deformation band that camps over us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericnh Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 BOX put me in the wsw for up to 8 inches of snow! lots of dark greens and yellows on the map south of us storm is really exploding fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least this is way more fun to watch than it appeared it would be a couple days ago. Plowable snow with the outside shot at >6''...it's a good day.

RIcoastalWX Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 32.5/29 - 50% light sleet and 50% light rain. Still not a snowflake. I'm beginning to get more concerned about freezing rain as temps continue to slip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Just getting caught up on things... I'm actually a bit excited about it. Things (for once this year) seem to be breaking in our direction. Thinking 5-9" east and south of Hartford. Less SE CT. 3-6 inches NW CT. Probably a weenie band of 7-11" somewhere in N RI and interior SE Mass. Maybe clipping Windham Co? I had a swatch of 5-9'' from NE CT into NW RI and into portions of SE MA but went with 4-6'' for rest of CT (2-4'' for SE CT). One thing that has me a little nervous with going much higher rest of the state is the strongest lift doesn't seem to really sit over us for all that long and the strongest lift looks to just clip eastern CT. during the height of the storm we should see some pretty decent snowfall rates (1-3''/HR) but outside of those heavier bands the rates may not be all that impressive.

Yeah thought that yellow banding was sleet/rain, and it appears to be down in WST and along immediate coast, but just inland heavy, large flakes on traffic cams http://www.tmc.dot.ri.gov/camcenter/camcentermapview.aspx# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Usually just to the east of that subsidence zone absolutely rips Yeah that was my concern all along. I have a feeling it sets up a bit northwest of there? But maybe not. All the models seem to have a pretty impressive slug of omega in the SGZ for a while... plus a weenie unstable layer up there as well around 500mb.

Alpha5 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Folks in SW CT will switch back over prob like 5-6 pm maybe. All snow for most of us here. Maybe the immediate shore has issues, but i've been all snow so far. Temps have been at 31 the entire event Radar looks like crap though, only 2" OTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
