Damage In Tolland Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Radar looks sick. Look at that wall of snow moving due north in CT..Should just go from flurries to ripping here shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Eager to hear about the serf fwiw. At least might give a sense of momentum if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Did anyone actually drive in to work today? I sincerely hope not lol why? Unless you work for a school or for the state... life goes on. Most businesses will probably close this afternoon but I don't see anything in the next 6 hours that makes me think everyone should be off the roads.

ORH_wxman Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I wonder how much the rapidly weakening convection E of HSE will have an effect on this storm...that's prob a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I wonder how much the rapidly weakening convection E of HSE will have an effect on this storm...that's prob a good thing. Agreed. I posted earlier I loved seeing the cloud tops start warming rapidly off HSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I wonder how much the rapidly weakening convection E of HSE will have an effect on this storm...that's prob a good thing. Maybe not enough to save the potential feedback issues on the 12z guidance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I wonder how much the rapidly weakening convection E of HSE will have an effect on this storm...that's prob a good thing. Will--can you expand on that? Dying convection allowing the system to linger west longer? I know I'm just grasping. But educates as well. Is your comment similar to ryan's about the warming cloy tops? Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 You can see the 12z sounding at OKX the initial batch of snow is from that very shallow burst of warm advection. We must be getting some decent seeder-feeder from a mid level cloud deck as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most businesses will probably close this afternoon but I don't see anything in the next 6 hours that makes me think everyone should be off the roads. You want to have massive problems? Have folks drive home from work this afternoon when we're ripping 1-3 per hour..Hopefully folks heeded warnings. I think Malloy will shut rds down at 6:00pm tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 EC ens QPF was close to the op for the most part, but they are well east of the 12z ens. IOW, it doesn't affect most of us...yet. It's more of an issue for NY/NJ/PA. 1.00" EPO-BML-DDH 1.50" PWM-CON-EEN-SWF 2.00" BVY-ORH-BDR As for the NNE gradient...0.50" tickles NW VT.

But educates as well. Is your comment similar to ryan's about the warming cloy tops? Thx. Less convection out east of the low will lessen the chance it robs the system of advection processes...so in short, yes, it means a better chance of the storm not escaping out east.

CT Rain Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 No surprise but the NAM was way too warm around 900mb at 12z. Pretty bad forecast for 6 hours. GFS with a horrendous forecast for warmth and the bottom of the BL. Pretty much AWT though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11295 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Checking the obs down in NC, Low is down to 996 mb just inside of HSE it loos like. HSE winds went from SE to S to SW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Weren't there thoughts yesterday this wouldn't be a wall of snow moving in? Looks like that's exactly what it is..a White wall of S + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone will report heavy snow when their vis drops to 3/4 mile, lol. But yeah, this looks like a steady light to a moderate snow for this morning and midday then ramping up. The real stuff is later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
