NorEastermass128 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 educate its' def on the move it's sliding right by me now, maybe it regenerates like the 0z hrrrr sim radar shows but i don't know if it will be at the rates i just had last 20 mins Same here. Snow covered side roads. Even main roads are partially covered too. Tapered for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I don't think I've ever seen smaller flakes. It's either mico-snow or micro-sleet. Definitely frozen b/c I just went out and let it collect on my sweater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlantStickers Anonymous Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Just drove home from west Peabody, lol wet snow coming down moderately over there, and all the roads including the western half of Lowell street are snow covered, as I made my way here it's more of a sleet snow mix and slush on the roads.

wxsniss Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 12:45am Obs: It sucks to change a pothole-induced flat tire in 36.2F drenched in "coldest rain ever" rain. God bless AAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 If one were only watching radar you would think nothing is coming into NE tomorrow. And that's exactly true...this is looking like a non-event as per the 0z GFS and current observations. 0z GFS has two frames of .1" QPF for much of New England, but that's light, non-accumulating junk with the higher sun angle and miserable boundary layer outside of the higher elevations. Current obs aren't very encouraging. BOS is at 36/34 with rain; even Portland, Maine is at 36/33 with rain. ORH has remained below freezing at 31/31 but has switched to freezing rain from earlier light snow. Temperatures are just too marginal, and the coastal is going to get going much too late for good dynamics to reach the coast in time. My earlier ideas of a non-event seem right on target. Don't see the 6-10" for ORH verifying, nor the 2-4" for BOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see the 6-10" for ORH verifying, nor the 2-4" for BOS. It's a little deceptive at PWM. It's raining there with an east wind. But you go a couple miles inland and we're all snow at the WFO, just over an inch so far on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you go a couple miles inland and we're all snow at the WFO, just over an inch so far on the day. I'm sure it's similar at BOS...Logan is plain rain at 36F but some places inland 10-15 miles probably are mixing with sleet or getting close to freezing. I just don't like radar, obs, or modeling for a big snowfall. The echoes on radar are moving ENE (instead of building NNE), the surface temperatures are pretty mild with rain/sleet being observed well into VT/ME/NH, and the 0z GFS doesn't have much QPF left once the cooler air comes filtering in. It's just a disjointed system so I think it's going to be difficult to verify larger amounts of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbutts Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 was expecting to capture snow overcoming the warm hood, but it went the other direction maybe 1/4" on the ground, temp reads 30.9 but behaving like it's warmer not sure if it was raining or just tiny flakes when this was being taken it's snow now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsw Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Total paste job here, thermo is reading 32.4. No sleet mixed in for past 20 min or so. Totally fizzled here. Dusting on the ground at 6am, after 3 - 5 inches was forecast through late morning. Radar showing nothing really at all to come, it's all East, and looks liquid there rather than frozen, for the most part? Haven't caught up on the latest obs yet.

moneypitmike Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Total paste job here, thermo is reading 32.4. No sleet mixed in for past 20 min or so. Congrats. Looks like we've had a continuation of the snizzle that dominated yesterday. I'm guessing .5" with perhaps some snizzle continuting. Temp hasn't budget more than a couple tenths of a degree since about noon yesterday. Enjoy your snow. 30.5/30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
