CT Rain Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Yeah i didin't mean hvy hvy snow from the get go on..But that sure likes like a burst of S+ on radar lol your snow visibility estimates make me think you need a strong pair of contacts but yeah you'll be a burst then -SN.

OceanStWx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Nice coastal front on GYX radial velocity image. Just posted about it in the obs thread, actually measured 80:1 here at the office at 7 AM. The meso models actually had this nailed down yesterday. The local WRF had likely PoP going in a stripe right along the coast. SREF keyed in on a DGZ at least 200 mb deep (high ratio snow). I bumped totals up yesterday, but not nearly enough. We're going to hit warning criteria snow before the blizzards even start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoons56 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Anybody checked out the NWS forecast for Worcester recently: "Today Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 29. Breezy, with a east wind 10 to 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches possible. Tonight Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 15. Wind chill values as low as -1. Windy, with a northeast wind 23 to 28 mph, with gusts as high as 47 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 15 to 21 inches possible. Saturday Snow, mainly before 1pm. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 20. Wind chill values as low as -3. Windy, with a north wind 18 to 26 mph, with gusts as high as 47 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 6 to 10 inches possible. " They sure aren't holding back, 25 - 39" seems a little high to even a weenie like me.

SR Airglow Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Upton backed off a bit from last night, now only 16" here instead of 18" At this point, who cares, time to look out the window and enjoy the snow falling. Was heavy snow here for 10 minutes or so, now down to light occasionally moderate. Close to an inch OTG already. -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman21 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Snow has lightened up here as well, and being right at 32-33 degrees, paved and concrete surfaces that got coated from that initial burst have since melted. Looks like we'll have to wait awhile for the next batch south of LI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 SREF mean looks close to 3z, but a little east and with increased spread. I wonder if we added another member or two to the later phase camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! 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 + It isn't a wall. Its been mostly light since it started here. Been snowing an hour and probably don't even have 1/2" yet.

Mr Torchey Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 wow-you are a bit warmer--30 here-everything still covered...I'm just south of the parkway, so I'm a bit colder than the 95 corridor... zero melting here just shy of an inch..........greenwich is another world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 zero melting here just shy of an inch..........greenwich is another world I think snowman21 goes out with a hair dryer to start melting snow and bumping up temperatures to deflate expectations lol. Looks like we'll keep -SN for the next few hours. Hopefully we can put down an inch or two before the main stuff rolls in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 zero melting here just shy of an inch..........greenwich is another world What's going on in greenwich? Are they mixing? Light snow here, 32/27. NWS says all snow for me and no mix problems, is there guidance that suggests otherwise? -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11295 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 looks like models want to tick this a bit east at last minute. no real difference for anyone outside of NW fringe and potential mix areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Great to see some big boys in the energy sector discussing how bad the GFS is..love it Jeff House What if they do not phase right? Oh wait, this morning's charts look like the NAM already. Punt the GFS. 3 minutes ago · Like Jason Cali GFS: a model that is great at manufacturing fictitious snow storms and terrible at predicting real ones. a few seconds ago · Like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman21 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Might help if the titles started with OBS, BANTER, DISC or something like that to make it easier to see which tab you're looking at or replying to on mobile devices or even regular browsers where you only see the first several letters if you have multiple threads open.

weatherMA Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Every model gives me 24+ except for the GFS which gives me 8" lol. I don't know if I can sleep after seeing the 6z NAM. Wow. P+ C has 24-39!!!!! :snowman: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
