leesun Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 BDL should have its own radar. We just get lost up here in between 3 zones when we have a dry snow event such as this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground Scouring Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Usually by now it decreases totals. Today it actually continues to ramp them up...I mean you have to scratch your head I have seen previous cases in which the model has occasionally verified close to the event...so I am guessing that, though it will likely be a tad short of the true totals, it will verify very close to reality.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 When it gets to that you almost just wish the power will go out and avoid the risk of blowing any of your electronics. What this has done is made me realize I need a battery back up on the main tv. Each frog fart that knocks out the power for 2 seconds resets the DVR, and by the time it reboots it's blowing out again. We're lucky, the snow rate has been so terrible the past xx minutes no problems. Just very light snow here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The 15z SREF Plume images increased snowfall for BDL. Closer to 25 for the average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Anyone want to take bets on what's rotating in off the Cape? Thundersnow or is that sleet? Weird radar returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. OF PIKE Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 also that SPC special disco chart which i love , i think the axis of hvy snows are drawn a bit to far east on it , i mean i'd love it to be true but the axix of heavy snow seems already well west of the 6z spot, unless of course as this system itself is tracking NE, the banding stops moving back to the w very soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Think about this for a minute. The NAM did trim things a bit on the western edges but not much and it's MSLP position was pretty good. From an hour or two ago to mid morning it dumps this. In addition to whatever you've already got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little surprised by how far the "broken" nature of the precip is extending into Bristol and PYM counties. I thought that'd wash out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve04074 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hey, Steve ...enjoy the show. Should be epic down there on the coast. Whatcha got so far? Just about 13-1/2". Almost entirely from the coastal front, really! Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Just about 13-1/2". Almost entirely from the coastal front, really! Amazing! Wow! That's awesome! There was around 6 otg when I left work at noon. You'll easily hit 2'. This could be #1 for PWM in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveyLeonardFan Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Not much happening in Newport except some melting and some flakes/drops. I hope that activity in CT moves east but I'm certainly missing out on a lot of the fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

educate Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 you are in a perfect position. that band will pivot as the low drifts ever so slowly east and remain right over you and essentially everyone in the merrimack valley into tomorrow. now you can see how these obscene qpf numbers can verify. 40 is not out of the question for somebody.

Amped Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 It's amazing how radar sites further away pick up the bands better. I guess it's the high beam altitude picking up the cloud tops. When there's not virga it works pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that activity in CT moves east but I'm certainly missing out on a lot of the fun!! The nature of the returns in SE MA/RI is pretty brutal but if you look at the NAM...there's maybe some hope in the next few hours as the flow turns a bit more NE. I don't know if you and I are going to get into the fun like the others, I kind of doubt it, but we should do okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
educate Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 another point on this epic storm is the intense cold for some. in andover i am now at 14.8 and have been dropping for the past 4 hours. you are in a perfect position. that band will pivot as the low drifts ever so slowly east and remain right over you and essentially everyone in the merrimack valley into tomorrow. now you can see how these obscene qpf numbers can verify. 40 is not out of the question for somebody.
