weathafella Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 This is a weird one, for sure. Difficult to trust temps and not a lot of great model consensus in a pretty tight time frame. Felt like big bust potential, so expectations had to be kept low. Now that it looks like it will do just what the Euro said it might do snow-wise for the last two days, it has the feel of a potential overachiever. Great post. People at work wondering why I was so quiet about it....lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdxken Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Metrowest (Sherborn) a few hours ago. 2"- 3" on the ground and sticking to everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NECT Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 A flurry (or 2) every 30 mins or so. Can't wait till it gets dark and I can go searching for flurries with a flashlight. It will be just like looking for fireflies as a kid. lol It's almost coming hard enough to call a flurry now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NECT Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yep, this dry slot has been driving me nuts all day lol. At least we have a steady light snow here in Ashford now, so things will only get better from here. Not steady or even light here. Sounds like it's getting close to light snow.

Baroclinic Zone Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/... ***WIDESPREAD ACCUMULATING SNOW TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING WITH HEAVY SNOW EXPECTED ALONG PORTIONS OF THE COASTAL PLAIN*** 4 PM UPDATE...RADAR ECHOES HAVE FILLED BACK IN ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF EXCEPTIONS...MAINLY ACROSS FAR EASTERN CONNECTICUT AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHWESTERN RHODE ISLAND. STILL...ALL PRECIP IS FALLING AS SNOW. EVEN HYANNIS AND MARTHA/S VINEYARD HAVE SWITCHED OVER TO SNOW. RAIN IS STILL FALLING ON NANTUCKET AND THE OUTER CAPE. THEY MAY SWITCH OVER TO SNOW FOR AN HOUR OR TWO TONIGHT...BUT OVERALL EXPECT MUCH OF THE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS EAST OF HYANNIS AND ON NANTUCKET TO BE NO MORE THAN AN INCH OR TWO. NORTHEASTERLY WINDS ARE BLOWING ABOUT 15 TO 25 MPH AND GUSTING TO 40 TO 45 MPH MOST LOCATIONS. WINDS ARE GUSTING TO 50 TO 60 MPH ON THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET IN PLACE AND HEAVY PRECIP BRINGING THESE STRONGER WINDS TO THE SURFACE. TONIGHT...A SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE WILL DROP OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC...PULLING ENERGY FROM THE OCEAN STORM BACK TOWARDS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. ONCE AGAIN THE MODEL OF CHOICE WAS THE ECMWF. ITS QPF AND TEMPERATURE FIELDS HAVE INITIALIZED WELL BOTH AT 12Z AND THE PREVIOUS 00Z RUN. WHILE THERES STILL A LITTLE BIT OF UNCERTAINTY...MAINLY WITH REGARDS TO THE QPF AND SNOW AMOUNTS...ALL THE MODELS HAVE REALLY COME BETTER IN LINE WITH THE GENERAL PATTERN. TEMPERATURES ARE MARGINAL IN THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY AND SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS...HOWEVER...THEY SHOULD COOL ENOUGH AFTER THE SUN SETS THAT SNOW WILL BEGIN TO ACCUMULATE QUICKLY. THE HIGHEST QPF /AND THUS THE HIGHEST SNOW AMOUNTS/ ARE EXPECTED ACROSS EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND PARTS OF NORTHERN RHODE ISLAND. THE ECMWF IS PREDICTING ABOUT AN INCH OF QPF IN THIS AREA DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. USING THIS QPF AND THE ACCOMPANYING SNOWFALL EXPECTED TO ACCUMULATE...WE HAVE UPGRADED WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES IN ESSEX...SUFFOLK...AND EASTERN NORFOLK COUNTIES TO WINTER STORM WARNINGS. WE ALSO ADDED CAPE COD TO THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY... LARGELY FOR THE UPPER CAPE /AREAS WEST OF HYANNIS...ESPECIALLY FALMOUTH AND WEST TO THE CANAL. && Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattb65 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Snow starting to palster to trees and bushes and everything else once again. The sun and slight warm up really saved trees from the 3" that fell during the day. I wonder how they'll fare with the 6"+ we're likely to get overnight. So far we've been spared power problems in the city but I wonder if this will be the storm that does us in. I'm thinking it might be just cold enough and windy enough to not see widespread tree damage but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Airglow Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Just got a text from my friend in Lake Placid, light snow up there, they are about the northern extent of precip according to radar, forecast is for less than an inch, although the mountain might get 2", they pull snow out of a hat up there. LL, are the cottonballs accumulating? I'm stuck at work late tonight, won't be home until 8ish or so... -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
