snowwoman Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Snowing steady and just measured 1.5 inches on the deck. snow is very fluffy and "crystalesque" looks fake and sticking to everything. temp is hovering between 30.5/31 -Ansonia, CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I actually was going 10-14 for Princeton, lol. Messenger can atest...he PM'd me a couple nights ago. I was feeling a little sick about that for a time yesterday admittedly, but had faith in the firehose/fujiwara....they always seem to to find a way if we are getting hosed from the east. Good call. They always do well. I mean you figure at worst they crawl there way to 10" anyways in 36 hrs. Can't go wrong with euro ensemble QPF...that seems to be a lock for sure.

RIcoastalWX Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Looks like the snow hole is trying to erode once again.... An optimist might say we were on the verge of calling what we have coming down now "Light Snow"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Airglow Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 absolutley georgous snow going on, just measured close to an inch in the front yard, I'll call it .9", still nothing on the roads. SN 33.1 degrees and dropping. -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 You get debbied easily. I really thought it would focus the firehose to the south, and it did, but temps here have really aided. Just far enough south that I can cash in... Nev got above freezing all day, so once the sunset it has gone to town. I mean, Feb 27th many folks on here with degrees seemed to have me getting 9-10" even just before. Learning experience. Have not heard from my brother in Foxboro for a while, but he is prob over 10" by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 This is going to be a great night, an inch of snow on the ground, coming down at a steady moderate(really light but it feels moderate) snow, temps slowly dropping, and the RGEM just jacked up the QPF. I'm feeling a positive bust here, haven't had one of those in a long time(2011?). 33.1, SN-, 1sm vis, 1" so far. -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJonesWX Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 i just noticed pete bouchard's map still has much of southern NH in 3-6. he must not realize that many places have more than 3" already. i am thinking another 4-5 inches here at least. it is coming down fairly well here atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not heard from my brother in Foxboro for a while, but he is prob over 10" by now This area (BOS) was probably the one area to throw big flags around. Well, this storm had tons of flags..but all else being relative, this area sucked to forecast. ORH hills has the added benefit of temps so you figure 1" QPF might allow someone to crawl to 10" regardless. And then SE MA with 2" QPF...you figure the dynamics alone will allow for double digits. That's the weird 495 TAN to ORH thing we were saying. Two different reasons to jackpot. I actually think I'll be a little low with my thinking here..but a lot better than those calling for all rain. I wasn't worried about temps due to warming aloft or marine influence, I was worried about my precip and how strong the rates would be since that would govern temps near ground level. A 2SM 34 snow won't cut it here in March near sea level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 2SM 34 snow won't cut it here in March near sea level. The frigid (relatively speaking) 925mb temps were a good signal for lower sfc temps...even at BOS when the precip wasn't heavy in hindsight...at night. I was unsure on BOS too...but its hard to stay really warm when its precipitating and 925mb is -5 to -6C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. OF PIKE Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Radar fillin in, s monads dumpin thru 495 , startin to rip here as well. I need the flow to back more e, it seems a ne flow always has some trouble generating solid precip shield off se nh, ne mass, maybe dry air from land lessens lift?or who knows (bad luck) but I guess it backs shortly after midnite. Radar looks good for now (off ne mass) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Radar looks cool. Some sort of convergence happening over the north shore. Fast moving high db band coming west to catch the slower stuff. Wow is is hauling azz. Greenfield Chris should be ok now.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Canton 9.3"? That's like 10 miles SW of here..not even. There's a lot of snow right down along 138 into Easton.

I was unsure on BOS too...but its hard to stay really warm when its precipitating and 925mb is -5 to -6C Yeah I figured snow given how cold it was, but was it going to rip for greater than 6" and especially at night..or was the best moisture going to stay south.

Just seeing the new 12h map made me LOL. It hasn't had a clue. ITs an awful model within 2-3 days of a big storm aside from the blind squirrel.
