PWMan Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Of course it can..it just depends on rates. That's why I've been surprised to hear a lot of on-air mets the last couple days summarily discounting the prospects for non-elevated accumulation due to "the March sun angle."

HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 What is causing the huge snow hole over E CT/ W RI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yep, nice burst here earlier dropped .25, now almost completely melted. Tonight is the old toss up, back this way might be too far west, these situations almost always end up north and east. I'm thinking we might be OK, really every model has close to 1/2 inch of QPF here, I think we are going to be suprised tonight in a good way. If we were dealing with a Norlun I would be more worried, but this seems to be a larger scale feature that's going to hit a wider area, similar to the one over CNE that busted as rain a week or two ago. I don't think we jackpot, but I think 3-5" lollies to 6" is a legit possibility, you probably do better than I being 20 miles NE. Upton still has 4-6" here, and as we have seen this winter, they aren't afraid to cut when they don't like what they see. -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIcoastalWX Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 What is causing the huge snow hole over E CT/ W RI? And what a snow hole it is!! Just spoke to a friend in Jewett City/Plainfield area... Not only is there no snow falling, the roads are actually dry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 That dry slot needs to eff off It just looks like subsidence between the stuff along the coast and that fronto band over Tolland County area. Then another subsidence zone to the band over the Berkshires moving into E.NY. Precip today will likely be transient bands in the interior while the coast stays in that steady/heavier stuff. Looks like the real heavy stuff though is moving into the Cape at this time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11295 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Radar is really drying NW of Boston, just some light -sn here in Shrewsbury. Maybe that band about to come onshore from BOS-Cape Ann will be more substantial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yeah there's no way we're going to avoid that dryslot. But it's kind of what models had..Periods of snow on and off all day today..Tonight and tomorrow has always been the main show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Windcredible! Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Guess it looks better on radar than it does in person? The one over here was real SN for a while, down to SN- now. What's your take for tonight, Upton sticking with 4-6", does that seem high to you? -skisheep Seems a little bullish coming from Upton, but It may not be too far off. The lower end of that range is within reach though. Personally I'd go a little lower with a slightly wider range...2-5". But tough forecast...12z runs could show something different altogether.

I'm not going to feel comfortable with a solution until it's on radar and its snowing here The RGEM bumping west a bit at 6z made me more comfortable, it's usually a reliable model, and it's got close to 20mm of QPF here. EURO was about .5" here, correct? -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need a little over 3" to break 50" on the year...hoping we can at least manage that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need a little over 3" to break 50" on the year...hoping we can at least manage that. I think you should get 3" fairly easily. Back to very light 5 dbz kind of stuff, hard to see it out the window. putting it in the books as .3" for the hour of SN this morning, already melted, was nice while it lasted. Still pads the totals for the storm though and the seasonal total. Radar looks really decrepid, the nice band over central CT is breaking up, lots of light echoes not doing much of anything. Tonight should be the real show, but light snow during the day would be nice(although it might change over to rain for a time later...) -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure if you guys or someone near there could pull 12"+ but they may..and not just weenie Foxboro or Sharon. Figured a good 5-10 there anyways.

CoastalWx Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Definitely not having a good time accumulating rapidly here when the echoes lighten up which always went into the forecast, but that's not an issue south. About 1.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
