powderfreak Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 2.5" since 4pm at 1,500ft Total is 3.5" of heavy pasting snow since noon yesterday. Just another morning at the office as the snow continues to fall. Winter wonderland with snow plastered to all the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I'm concerned about how much precip I can get back towards my way. SREFs and GFS look OK, but the EC and especially the NAM are more paltry. I thought my thermometer was wrong all night, but at some point a few hours ago the temp started dropping from 32.7F to the current 30.6F. I can feel a decent breeze out of the NE so my anemometer apparently is frozen up too. 2.2" of snow so far with 0.24" liquid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the surface low is getting going, we've got winds coming around to more favorable directions, especially along the coast. PWM went from 100 degrees wind direction and 36 to 30 degrees and 32 in the last several hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Box has changed it's snow map 4 times in the last 48 hours and we are still on track to not verify their latest estimate. LOL--sometimes they just don't. I haven't like this since it first appeared on the maps. Glad I stayed in poo poo mode. After refusing to do so, I succumbed to it for 12 hours Wed/Thursday. Quickly got off that train and kicked myself for ever getting on. Refusing to do so now For Tuesday. Whatever couple inches come will get washed away shortly after. Won't.........get.........sucked.......in. Now that the surface low is getting going, we've got winds coming around to more favorable directions, especially along the coast. PWM went from 100 degrees wind direction and 36 to 30 degrees and 32 in the last several hours. Nice. Did the jetport go to snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 You took over my seat mode LOL. How are things looking up there? I see Attitash is reporting 6 and Wildcat 4 overnight--figure you must be in similar amounts? Everyone had thier machines out here yesterday. Just add a little frosting to the pack and it's a great excuse to get out there I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Now that the surface low is getting going, we've got winds coming around to more favorable directions, especially along the coast. PWM went from 100 degrees wind direction and 36 to 30 degrees and 32 in the last several hours. I was running about 1-2F above the MADIS expectation which is rare. Stations around me were around 31-32F and I was up to 33F. Even the Winni River station (close to hear and a couple hundred feet lower) was a few tenths cooler. Maybe it was just some weird microscale thing. The only possible error I could think of would be the shield getting caked up and the fan exhaust not being able to escape. Anyways...like the blizz, I'd rather be in the Wakefield/Milton area for this wrt NH. Any idea what the avg over there near the ME border? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Nice. Did the jetport go to snow? They did, a couple hours ago. We've got 1.5" new at the office since midnight, so the Jetport might have been able to eek out around a half inch or so in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 It's exhausting to take the wild swings with the models, sometimes you just have to stay the course. If I get 4 or more inches than although I did not directly forecast for this..it's a bust in my mind. Im only thinking an inch or two...maaaayyyybe 3 if things work out.

Im only thinking an inch or two...maaaayyyybe 3 if things work out. In reality we're super lucky up here with how this all evolved. Our forecast snow totals have changed by only a couple inches here or there in the last 3 days, but how we arrived at those totals is wildly different. Right for the wrong reasons.

Allenson Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 4.4" of a utter paste job here. 0.35" LE. Still some weenie flakes falling but largely in a lull right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Steady light snow. 2.3" for the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Eyeballing right now it looks like 2" -SN pretty much thru out the night You should pick up some decent stuff today--congrats. Some snizzle here, but lighter snizzle than yesterday (how pathetic a descriptiotn is that???!!!!). But, the radar's filling in to my south, so hpefully can get some real flakes to fly in the next half hour or so. Forecasted total is for 2-4. I'll take the under.

Oh yeah it's extremely tricky...not sure why Nzucker called you guys out, but looks like you fellas have a good handle on it. I'm just speaking for this area locally. The boundary layer just looked like toast here. If we somehow rip late today or this evening than we can achieve the higher totals. I'm just not sure on that, although I do believe some surprises are in the works down here. It's ok though...not everything will be snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Badger Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 RPM being very bullish for my areas 6-8". Not sure I believe it. Heavy wet snow coming down though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Anyways...like the blizz, I'd rather be in the Wakefield/Milton area for this wrt NH. Any idea what the avg over there near the ME border? A little sparse as far as Coops go in that area, but we go from 55" or so in Durham, NH to 70-75" in the Hollis/Limington, ME area to 80" near Bridgton. I would guess they're probably in the 70-75" range as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
