CoastalWx Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Stupid question no. 2 of the day from me: People talk about high sun angle affecting snow accumulations,etc. If there's heavy cloud cover would the sun angle really matter that much. There is a lot of what we call "solar insolation" that passes right through the clouds onto the ground even with cloud cover. The sun is much strong than it was even a month ago in terms of how much infrared radiation hits the Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Upton hacked the city and LI down again, we are unchanged here in SWCT, still 4-6" New map hot off the presses... -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Just noticed some rain mixing in when the precip lightens........radar looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Always Sunny Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Is this so called "firehose" the same thing as the inverted trough currently progged at mid levels? I get lost in all this board slang, some clarification would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian5671 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yeah I noticed that on radar, dare I say it, it looks almost NAM ish? (not that in any way do I think the NAM is going to verify) -skisheep the question is how much of this is wasted b/w now and sunset--nothing sticking here (even on grass) and temp is 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Airglow Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 the question is how much of this is wasted b/w now and sunset--nothing sticking here (even on grass) and temp is 38 36 here, and nothing sticking either. On the models that were good for us, the main QPF didn't come until after sunset, so I'm not too worried. I'd guess we've seen maybe .1-.15" of QPF so far out of anywhere between .6" and 1"+? My gut is somewhere between .35-.4" that accumulates ending up as around 4", although I might go a tad higher based on the radar. The light stuff that has been the theme for most of the day can't be more than .02 or so per hour... -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Euro looks really good for tonight and tomorrow morning...someone is gonna get a lot. Uh oh, guessing that means it took the QPF from here and sent it further northeast? -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Up in to SNH like it was shown on the NAM? Yeah it likes S VT/S NH most of MA and RI. Its not as good for CT, but it still is ok there...should be several inches even down to HVN anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Airglow Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Never mind, according to NYC forum it's better than 0z for us, .4" for the city and more NE, they say .75" on parts of LI and CT. Riding it all the way, 75/25 EURO/GFS blend, RGEM is tossed it looks little like radar. YES! -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Airglow Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I suspect u mean NE me too . NYC forum thinks it's better than 0z, which probably bodes well for us. They say it has .75"+ for SWCT.

CoastalWx Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Hey Will, good you stayed bullish up there. I'll never forget that even in Dec 2010 you were getting weenie upslope there when radar looked like crap. You guys will always scratch your way to good totals. Not sure why BOX was low there yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 It will be on wunderground soon. Looks nice for us once the sun sets. Scott what's your instinct down here?

(keep in mind they aren't always the most accurate over there) -skisheep Its a pretty juicey run overall...it destroys MA and far S NH and RI...it prob has 0.75" to BDR...but keep in mind that some of that is between now and sundown with like 0.15-0.20" per 6 hours from 12-18z and 18z-00z...so its really the stuff after that you want to count if you are lower down on the coast where 0.15" in 6 hours won't do much during midday.

You will need winds to back a little more and sunset. You are on the edge, but if it can come down hard, I don't see why you can't get a few inches. Tough call on the water there.

I'll never forget that even in Dec 2010 you were getting weenie upslope there when radar looked like crap. You guys will always scratch your way to good totals. Not sure why BOX was low there yesterday. Well I hope it works out. I had a good vibe about this one for a couple days now for ORH hills...these quirky setups that involve upslope and other nuances tend to work out well for that area. Models are usually not the greatest at handling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dropping ever so slightly, down to 35.2 now. Just need the early season north wind. I can say it really has gone over to mostly snow here now.
