CoastalWx Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 That's definitely deformation. Look at water vapor and satellite and noticed the echoes moving east but the clouds pulling NW ofver wrn MA. Pretty cool. That mega band near HFD and near Hubby is going to unload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 What Mitch said makes sense, Kev reported rising temps with moderate snow while my temp was dropping in subsidence. The frontogenesis that is generating the band off to the west of you is a result of midlevel deformation and frontogenesis. As such, it probably doesn't really have much bearing on surface temperatures. The band to the E of you over SE MA is probably a result of speed convergence as the E to NE wind decelerates as it hits the land. Think of cars slowing for traffic on a busy freeway...they suddenly become closer together. This is more of a low level process unlike the stuff west of you. Deformation and frontogenesis can result from speed convergence as well, creating enhanced precipitation. Further west of the low level convergence and frontogenesis near you, there is subsidence. As others have said, there is possibly some low level speed divergence near you as well. Now think of cars once the traffic jam has ended...they are further apart and moving faster. In reality, I'm not sure what's causing that couplet in SE New England. Just throwing out my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston-winter08 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Didn't the RPM show 38" for Bob with 1.2" for PVD yesterday? yes - that's what ironic..sometimes that model keys into certain nuances like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yeah I'm up over 4 too. What did you have this morning? I had 1.5 My wife measured that but she said that the temp had gone above 32 for about an hour before she measured so it may have been a tenth or two higher. I had to leave early for a meeting in Springfield and we had about a half inch at that time so I wasn't hear for the "finale" later in the morning. Most of what fell during the day didn't accumulate much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Airglow Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Temp just hit 32 at HPN which is usually close to me temp wise, 33.3" here at my local wunderground station. Moderate snow, around .3-.5" on the grass, nothing on pavement yet. Hopefully soon... -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at water vapor and satellite and noticed the echoes moving east but the clouds pulling NW ofver wrn MA. Pretty cool. That mega band near HFD and near Hubby is going to unload. Youd think... It looks great on radar.. But Im under it and I can tell you its decidedly meh.. Flakes are pretty big, and not obscuring visibility that much... Im thinking this would rip if it were 5 degrees colder! Wunderground is showing 32.8 degrees, so..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just throwing out my 2 cents. nice, what I have been posting I noticed these mega gusts come roaring in from my east and the radar explodes over my head and then a line forms to my west. My temp is oscillating a little too up and down as well as the DP. I am going to check the barometer too.

ORH_wxman Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 TWC just showed a great 500mb loop of whats going on over the next 18 hours or so....hopefully on the next update they show it again so people can see....the ULL to our southeast phases with the lakes energy and the 500mb flow comes out of the east again which is what really helps produce all the snow for later tonight and tomorrow....otherwise this thing would be going bye-bye by now. I don't like TWC much anymore (I had it on to see Cantore), but that was a great thing to show people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTWeatherFreak Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 All about the temperature.. I'm up at a much higher elevation.. And its borderline heavy snow.. Sticking to everything for a while now.. about 2" + On radar, this band over us looks alot like the monster band that setup during the Feb blizzard, and that was some of the heaviest snow Ive ever seen.... Ive got to believe its this 32.8 degree reading thats spoiling the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJBASHB Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 At least 3-4 + at work in Fitchburg. Measuring should be easy for this one compared to the blizzard. Wind has died down considerably compared to the last 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sey-Mour Snow Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 very odd though.. from time to time the snow really lightens up/guess because its so borderline. flakes are nice and big.. and it is accumulating very fast.. if this gets really heavy its going to pile up.. weird its wet obviously because of borderline temps but almost fluffy the way it piles up..

metagraphica Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 3" since sundown. Had about 1" this morning. Probably would have had another 2 or 3" inches if everything that fell this afternoon actually accumulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
