CoastalWx Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Nothing special but maybe another few tenths here. Light snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Weenie flakes starting to fall here.....lol, GYX had 0% chance of snow today under PC skies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 First little ripple sacrificed itself...that spin Phil talked about is pivoting down now. Make or break with that one, note how finally the precip is busting up to the west. Cloud cover has really lowered and thickened in the last 20 minutes.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Phil do you have access to another high res vis? Last radar images show it coming finally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropopause_Fold Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 rollo, fwiw...and i don't know that it's a ton...but the nested 4km nam - which had a really solid handle on the precip shield with the start of its 18z run - really blossoms this stuff as it comes south and doesn't it offshore until like 6 or 7z. grain of salt with that but something to watch as the 12z had a real nice handle on things earlier too.

Tropopause_Fold Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 i wonder if some are still expecting on a mix on the coast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostonseminole Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 looks like a bit over 1/2" so far..still sn- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 In Natick still for this afternoon and we have large puffy flakes drifting down. Its been good snow growth. Probably about a half inch so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 some ~25 dbz stuff right near downtown BOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 some ~25 dbz stuff right near downtown BOS. Yeah heaviest yet right along the expressway here. Wonder if it's a little convergence area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Phil. Lets hope. Lol my patience is even worse than normal today. It does look pretty good on radar and really no model had it here before 4 anyway. Just me being impatient with the radar.

Tropopause_Fold Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yeah heaviest yet right along the expressway here. Wonder if it's a little convergence area. wonder if it's a bit of land / sea convergence as the returns really blossom just as the stuff moves onshore. would be cool if you could steal an inch or two out of this.

8611Blizz Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 About three quarters of an inch but the snow has no mass. Extremely low moisture content so it piles up decently. Anybody know when this will lwt up around these parts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Wow this is legit. Enjoy it while it lasts... mixing is in the forecast for later on along the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb65 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Echoing others in the area, this i the heaviest all day, sn- but nice flakes here and starting to accumulate, really nice scene out there with flakes falling all day. Maybe we can score an inch or two if we're lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Almost moderate with awesome flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Almost moderate with awesome flakes. Very local, probably area of convergence as you said right along 93-S... not as robust just further west, but it seems to be expanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Congrats guys, radar looks great! I had a major meltdown earlier and cancelled winter for myself then chopped the living crap out of some knotted cherry, all good now after nature's xanax/ Glad you guys are getting a treat.........enjoy.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 LOL, what a winter. The only real overproducer since 1/1 is an OES event with micro lows. Cool stuff to watch though.

CoastalWx Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Anyone know the mechanism for these iterative banding features? New_England_vis_2.png photo (10).PNG Those are some kind of gravity waves. There probably is a weak inversion causing those waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the only one not getting in on this. Actually the entire state of RI and CT aren't getting anything from this...and anyone west of ORH in MA isn't getting anything.

Bostonseminole Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 actually after all the complaining I did, I can't complain about today, great snowy day.. still coming down, maybe I can end up with an 1".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Those are some kind of gravity waves. There probably is a weak inversion causing those waves. Yeah that's what I thought but wasn't sure... just typically think of gravity waves created by a more dynamic atmospheric disturbance, like a supercell updraft or rapidly bombing low pressure.

As long as rising air is stopped short and sinks, then rises again...you can get them. Your examples are the more strong cases for gravity waves but they occur fairly frequently.
