OceanStWx Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Not only is the satellite textbook, it's nearly identical to the blizzard last week. A world of difference though in how the two low pressures arrived at this position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 4" at box? They had 4" as of 9am or so and it snowed for 3 more hours. I ended up around 5.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 idk multiple reports all about the same 6-7 seems max. In the BOS area and into PYM county and Essex probably 6 maybe 7, but the 3-4" amounts are low. It was coming down hard, but as I look out the window at work...it's like where did the snow blow too? LOL, the old snow was hard and the new stuff just blew away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTWeatherFan Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Snow has basically tapered off in Brewster. Wind is absurdly strong still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazey Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Wow, impressive. What did you guys end up getting from the blizzard up there last weekend? Got 16" from that storm in two parts. Had the dry slot from hell. Down to 958mb at my place. Center is just passing by to my south. Had a T&L shower move through a few minutes ago with some sizable IP or Hail.

codfishsnowman Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 there was a ton of wind in last week's event..even inland we had to gust to 40 mph and yet some places in ct had a depth after the event ended of 3 feet!! would those amounts have been even higher had there been half the wind?

Had a T&L shower move through a few minutes ago with some sizable IP or Hail. For what it's worth, convection looks like it's wrapping around the center. Cyclone phase diagrams for the GFS/GEM/Ukie agree that it has taken on some warm core characteristics, and may briefly touch symmetric warm core.

powderfreak Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Again, too low. You don't have hours of 1/2sm and 1/4sm with 3.5". Although they were just SW of the good bands. I dunno, I see that at the mountain a lot if we have fluffy snow and high winds. It can snow hard with 1/4sm visibility for hours in squalls and only end up with a couple inches. Especially if its generally higher ratio stuff to begin with and good dendrites that are effective in lowering visibility. But once those things get on the ground and blow around, the flakes that were reducing visibility so efficiently get absolutely crushed. I'm not sure I would say its too low, but just that if the wind wasn't there amounts probably would've been double. But it was there and you're left with 3-6 inches instead of 6-12".

Hazey Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Pressure 957mb now. What a beast. More thunder. Places in New Brunswick are getting crushed with snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Dendrites were beautiful actually. Last week was a destroyer.Yeah they were great here. That's Blue Hills official report so have to go with it. Most of my immediate are reported 2.5-3. 0, reports seem pretty uniform, everybody can not be low, some folks are not as wind prone. Even with lt snow this AM visibility was under 1/2 here. I think reports are pretty good representation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Destroyed dendritic sugar snow That's how a decent amount of upslope events go... dendrites fall beautifully then get absolutely destroyed on the ground. Especially with a firm, crusty ground layer that allows massive transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
