ORH_wxman Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I am enjoying this much more than the blizzard for some reason Well it helps that you aren't getting screwed (relatively speaking) compared to everyone else, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 That's definitely some sort of frontogenesis band curving south. Where's that? Noted that the Euro had a few tiny 500mb features rotating through, it looked like the earlier run brought them right back into SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Another odd thing is that heavy band over the Hudson Valley. I'm guessing due to the famous Hudson Valley Convergence Zone. The snow must be halfway up Zuckers tube socks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Suprised it's not sticking to pavement yet, it's snowing at a good rate, probably an inch an hour or so if it all were to accumulate. I think it's because we had alot of non accumulating stuff earlier, and that's going to mean it's going to take a while to cool down the surfaces. flakes staying for 30 seconds or so now before melting instead of melting on contact, shouldn't be too much longer until it starts to accumulate. -skisheep welcome to March and with a bandy/showery system to boot. We have a long way to go with this bit hopefully what happens with this does so overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stash Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm not sure this is classic Mohawk-Hudson convergence enhancement (Andy would be a good one to chime in here) which affects areas around the Capital District, but its been snowing better than expected here about 20-25 miles N of Albany for much of the afternoon and evening.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 From near Will to Kevin. How does Will jackpot from everything or did he just decide to live in the snowiest place in SNE? Snow magnet. That's a sick band. If the NAM/Euro idea is right what a t-time in the early morning for a lot of you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 welcome to March and with a bandy/showery system to boot. We have a long way to go with this bit hopefully what happens with this does so overnight. I'm not worried, It's sticking to everything in westchester per multiple reports from the NYC forum and temps are slowly dropping, down .4 degrees in 10 minutes. I would say in the next hour or so we start to pile it up, still confident with 4-6" here. -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormSurge Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Matt how much down there, lol the wind just picked up and it started snowing, got to be wind related, roller coaster style,. Not even an inch yet. Started sticking to the grass around 7 & the driveway about 30 minutes ago. Snowing good though. I just don't want it to stop.

nzucker Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Another odd thing is that heavy band over the Hudson Valley. I'm guessing due to the famous Hudson Valley Convergence Zone. The snow must be halfway up Zuckers tube socks I think north winds are causing some convergence...we saw this in Boxing Day as well when we didn't have to deal with as much subsidence from the NJ megaband due to localized convergence...

I think that band is a result of midlevel deformation and frontogenesis and is not related to topographical features. Deformation and frontogenesis occur where the wind field is converging, bringing isotherms closer together. Frontogenesis then induces a mesoscale circulation in the atmosphere with rising motion on the warm side of the frontogenesis zone and subsidence on the cold side of it.

free_man Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 There's definitely a moderate to occasionally very heavy lull from the E. tip of LI, through RI and S. ORH county, through Wilmington MA into coastal NH. This lull is nearly stationary with minimal wind and precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
