ORH_wxman Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Echoing what Ryan said...it's pretty ho-hum here despite the look on radar. We've been light snow the past 90 minutes or so and probably have a 0.5" on the grass at best. Very fine flakes. Does look like the band is trying to intensify a bit just to our east over western New London county...perhaps we get into some better stuff as that moves overhead. EDIT: I'll just add though that the NAM was pretty unimpressive here until we get towards midnight tonight...that's when it really went to town. Yeah the lift right now is still pretty weak. We get much better lift after midnight and esp toward predawn/dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Windcredible! Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I am surprised neither BOX nor OKX went for a WSW for any of their CT counties. It should verify for quite a few locales I imagine...I suppose it was just low confidence in where the jackpot sets up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Would join you Jerry but still in narcotic-dulled recovery from this bad shoulder injury. Hence have hardly posted. Reading this forum has been the most therapeutic thing this week. But wow what a fascinating storm. Hoping for 6-10" in our woods, and I think that's cautious. This lull was well progged on hi-res NAM and RAP, and we rip after 1am as the ULL says howdy. Get well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 2" new, 2.75 OTG, moderate/heavy snow, 30F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Visibilities quite meh still. Haven't seen any CT station below 1SM even though we've seen a lot of "ripping" and "pounding" posts lol.I bet IJd is right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 RI is a natural spot for this, happens quite often but maybe it has been a while. Esp. away from the SW, W, NW hills, it's often a death zone for snow in banded setups. Living in N. Attleboro on the Mansfield line, we were always on the west side of OEH bands, barely escaping the RI hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 This band is very nice...its not heavy snow but large flakes and about 3/4 to 1/2 mile vis, so probably close to 1" per hour in the meat of this.

DomNH Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Finally snowing at like 3/4 - 1 mile vis. Massive FU zone ripping through Middlesex and Essex counties now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Airglow Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 snowing at a nice clip here, still SN- in terms of visibilities. It's accumulating on the grass, heavy dusting right now, but quickly climbing. It's not supposed to get going really good until later tonight for down here, correct? Radar looks great, currently in the band that's been parked over greenwich/stamford and westchester county on north. Wonder if it will merge with the big band over the rest of the state, radar looks like that might happen... -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold214 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Subsidence.definitely some sort of subsidence. But i'm not exactly sure from what. Almost reminds me of a radar loop showing the result of downsloping off the white mountains during a storm. Not downsloping in this case but definitely some sort of subsidence nonetheless. Maybe that area is in some subsidence portion of a frontogenetical feature or is the result of speed divergence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally calm winds in the hole with lt snow within minutes the wind gusted to near 40 and I was in 1 per hour snow ripping winds.

Kinda sucks, but this time last month I had a 30 inch snow storm. So I can't complain. And maybe I'm having radar hallucination, but the subsidence area seems to be slowly dying, so hopefully we get some good stuff soon. Radar to the east looks very impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 For the weatherpeople the serious snow is about 1/4 of a mile off the beaches. Rte 3a roughly the dividing line down here. There's a sharp front/windshift line, sharpest I've ever seen. 35 on one side, 32 on the other and car shaking wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
