dryslot Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 I can't tell what timeframe that is for. Is that tomorrow morning? Gosh I hope Dendrite and I get to taste that. Looks like 7 am mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NB-Weather Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Currently up to about 8 inches.. (neighbor measured 10 inches but seems a tad bit high..) Under probably some of the heaviest snow i've seen in years.. been ripping for past hour.. (south-central CT, just east of new haven) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I think you'll get into great banding IMHO. Are you all stocked up on your beer and huggies? Enjoy it--I'm not sure you can say it was worth the wait, but having waited as long as you have, this is one helluva way to end your drought! What's your take on BOX's comment about higiher totals on the east slope? While weenie hopes spring eternal, I'm not really buying the 18-24".

StormSurge Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 some bright banding into S CT? or is the snow just west of New London really that heavy? am seeing 40-45 dbz there It's really that heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Unfortunately for us that sim radar looks too far west compared to reality right now wrt the band. When I saw that weathertap loop posted a little while ago, I kind of thought something didn't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 A couple of times this year I've found the dev HRRR to be a bit better. Here's the last full one from 19z. This looks reasonable. Notice it's more impressive than the regular Primary HRRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 When I saw that weathertap loop posted a little while ago, I kind of thought something didn't look right. Yea the 18z 4k NAM was too far west, but intensity looks fine. One of my favorite short term model for radar is HRRR.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuildingScienceWx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Snow+ currently. Blizzard like conditions. 7.5" average, drifts developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambone Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 What keeps killing those radar bands when they try to come onshore on the south coast of MA and RI? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 This looks reasonable too. I think parts of SE MA/Cape end up between the precip moving with the low and the precip spinning NW later. May be a sucker zone down this way. http://rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/HRRR/Welcome.cgi?dsKey=hrrr_jet&domain=t3&run_time=08+Feb+2013+-+21Z I feel pretty confident in at least 9" here, not sure about how much more than that. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 What keeps killing those radar bands when they try to come onshore? Some of that may be bright bandiong on the CT coast with wet flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 there's an obs thread. Nice ! Snow+ currently. Blizzard like conditions. 7.5" average, drifts developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertSul Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 What keeps killing those radar bands when they try to come onshore on the south coast of MA and RI? ? I think that's just flakes going from wet snow on the coast to fluffier as they encounter colder air inland. Wet snow creates a heavier signature on the radar. Doesn't necessarily mean higher inch-per-hour rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Lots of wind and heavy snow now imby. Ripping with vis 1/4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Heading outside. Maybe grab a couple photos if I can. Wow. That was awesome. Snowblower'd the driveway. By the time I was done, a good 1/2-3/4" had fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthCoastMA Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I feel pretty confident in at least 9" here, not sure about how much more than that. We'll see. You will probably have that by midnight. I'm guessing 16+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leesun Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Snow's been having a tough time in N CT. Ripping here but BDL and other places toward the border in N Tolland, N Hartford, and N Litchfield are struggling. Not sure about those BDL obs because we have been ripping here with 1/2 mile vis. since 5:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Does the heavy stuff over long island make it to new hampshire? You have nothing to worry about, it'll get there. Outside shot that instability stays far enough NW to see a flash or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 This really looks like it could pass just to the SE of the Cape which would allow for Kevin and eastern CT to get into the deform band and probably have it pivot over them...would even see it as far west as BDL but probably wouldn't pivot here.

Notice it's more impressive than the regular Primary HRRR How does this work, in the sense that I have some severe compaction here. Is this more a QPF, or does it translate into actual inches of snow based on ratio? Not sure it does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think you guys get in on it. Pivot looks like its setting up Central/ eastern Ct to west of Orh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the deformation already taking shape. You have a col somewhere around NYC, and western CT up through western MA and central NH/ME are seeing that convergent flow.
