CoastalWx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Ryan, Scott, Will, Phil et al, do you think we should cancel our overnight fishing trip - the boat is supposed to leave harbor at 4:10pm Flemish Cap or bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Lots of exceptions. Medical personnel, safety, media, food delivery, etc. Financial folks... not science teachers...lol yeah the employees at CVS were pissed because they said the Fire Marshal called and told them they were exempt - haha. These are like 22-year boneheads mind you. They were probably making their plans for the night and all - wah wah waaah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Just measured 1.8" here in Stafford Springs. We've had some periods of moderate snow but for the most part it's been light and the flake size has been small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 That 40-50 dbz band creeping ever so much closer to the CT shoreline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick-02540 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Heavy heavy snow here....about to take a once in a lifetime crushing with that band coming on shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I was wrong; I only have 1.25" as of 4:pm in Ayer Mass. Snowing mod at the moment, and there is an appearance of broken shards off of shattered dendrites making for a kind of snow-mist accompanying small aggregates.

Typhoon Tip Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Heavy stuff slowly making the trip across the sound right now. So pumped. While heavy snow is likely ... those bands over the sound appear to be bright banding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Approaching ORH now on the train....we passed the CF somewhere just west of Framingham it seemed...the snow was plastured to everything and then got drier as now there is nothing plastured.

RIcoastalWX Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 32.3/30 - Heavy Snow 3.25 OTG Visibility under 1/4 mile now Constant sound of wind howling - Gusts still only in the low 30's The weight of the snow on the tree's is very concerning.

weatherwiz Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Going to guess now much accumulations between 3:30 and 4:30 here...snow intensity very light now and still crappy flakes...did look better when I measured so I thought perhaps snow growth was improving but guess not.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 That 40-50 dbz band creeping ever so much closer to the CT shoreline. Creeping is the best way of describing it. RAP gets it into eastern areas of CT shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11295 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The start of the "real" storm is now pushing into SE Mass and RI. Saw the 30 dbz push into the WST area on radar so good to know its heavy snow. At there doesnt appear to be dry slot issues with this..have barely heard the word mentioned.

Typhoon Tip Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 That red circle above contains a negative node in the rad scan, and it's probably legit flurries there; moreover, it's been wobbling nearly stationary across the last 47 minutes of loop. That is what happened in Acton Mass in the Jan Blizzard Of 2005. This storm ...yeah, I'm all psyched for it and all. Well see how it plays out. But it isn't going to be a top tier in my book until there are no butt-bang holes on rad. It may be just that it is early in the game and things have not yet consolidated associated with more organized synoptics of the system ...or course, but for now, this thing has to work to do.

RIcoastalWX Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The start of the "real" storm is no pushing into SE Mass and RI. Saw the 30 dbz push into the WST area on radar so good to know its heavy snow. So far not one sleet pellet... It is heavy snow - between 1/4 and 1/8 mile visibility (without taking the blowing snow into consideration) and the sustained winds have increased.
