klw Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 > With the pattern change underway and the old thread well over 30 pages, I thought I would try my hand at starting a new thread. As my foot of powder has become 3 inches of impenetrable crystalized hard pack, I await a freshening of snow. Hopefully tomorrow can bring a surprise 2 or 3 inches to get things started.

klw Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 My point and click for tomorrow now says 2-4 inches of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbutts Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Looks interesting for NNH and ME.. Never seen these products until today. Copying post from storm thread. OceanStWx, on 15 Jan 2013 - 15:00, said: 09z 15z Interesting signal to the north of the weenie band. Despite being farther from the forcing, there is a high probability of a large DGZ. This leads to enhanced snow ratios. Fluff factor could keep the sharp NW cutoff from being a reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenson Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 My point and click for tomorrow now says 2-4 inches of snow. A fluffy freshening will be most welcomed. Let's do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very striking image on your post that finished thread #2. "Mare's tails and mackerel scales make tall ships carry low sails." Classic mackerel, though probably no strong storm to follow. However, 2-4" is fine, refreshing the snowcover so Thursday night's radiational cooling can work its magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 liking my area over toward dryslot for 4-6". I like the GYX map. The H85-H7 lift will move in toward late morning and the midlevel moisture tail should hang back over us into the early evening. It should be a nice recovery from Monday's massacre.

No idea where or if its on their site but its on their FB news feed. They are quite active in social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 This evening was good timing for a snowpack water content analysis, since CoCoRaHS wants them on Wednesdays, the pack seems to have settled down now after the recent warmth, and some snow may be coming tomorrow. Anyway, tonight’s analysis revealed that there’s currently 1.06” of liquid in the snowpack, so a bit over an inch of liquid was lost since my last analysis one week ago.

MainePhotog Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 like StormTotalSnowFcst.png That dark blue pixel over my head that I was talking about last evening seems to have magically expanded. Love it! Nice snowfall coming. Roads were awful on way to Portland. Commute took 1.5 hours vs the usual 1 hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 like StormTotalSnowFcst.png Just stepping into the short term now, but the trends look nice for a little surprise high end advisory. Loop the radar and check out the elements moving NW off the water. You got a little inverted trough running up into the coast from near Cape Cod.

MaineJayhawk Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 like StormTotalSnowFcst.png Nice upgrade from earlier for my 'hood. Snowing pretty good on the Portland peninsula currently. May be nearing 2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 HRRR seems to be on that inverted trough idea too. Really hangs the precip back along the coast all day. Some weenie jackpots of 6-8" in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Well we are managing to get accumulating snow under weak echoes with the heavier echoes off to the se e and ne. maybe 2 inches here but I still see grass poking up. My goal: no grass poking up by day's end. Good to see you guys maybe getting some bonus stuff over in Maine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Would love for this to verify! Thanks for posting! Looks like a nice intense band moving onto the coast near Popham Beach. Dropped the Jetport to 1/4SM +SN for a time, 0.10" liquid in that hour too. 1"/hr type stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
