free_man Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I was watching Joe English hill just under 1300' and the top was in and out of snow fog for a few hours, the fog dropped and here we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Temps may actually rise later this evening or at night tonight when the low scoots by and the wind comes around. This system was front side cold loaded from that push that came south late yesterday. But current sfc obs showing mid 40 to low 50s common throughout the OV and that air is getting wrapped into the back side as the low escapes. In an way ... if I am to understand these "SW flow events" this is a cold rain/sleet version of that -- although a bit more commitment to secondary may eventually pull this underneath, but that's after the shut-off this evening. And, likewise, it is not uncommon on the backside of those types of system to have a markedly warmer day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yeah, the ptype is mostly frozen now here - IP about 90% in Ayer. But the temp is still 35. Seems this back edge tries to go cold then it shuts ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The snow obs are all in the back third of the precip...so I think Scooter and I's explanation of most of the lift being below 850mb explains it well. There were some very cold temps in that 900mb range...enough to produce ice crystals. It was actually decent flakes for about 15 minutes (around 1pm) even in downtown Greenfield which is only at about 250'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 28.4F snow grains or very small flakes and some sleet. Ground is white. The people in NH that are reporting snow, is it snow grains or bonafide snow flakes. Either way dry slot just about here so this is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The ORH ASOS was reporting UP about 20 min ago so there's probably some flakes mixed in there as well at times. Havent heard what is going on back on winter hill though. I'm betting there's some sleet accumulation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Back into some light snow again. Given the clear radar, I guess it's tied to low-level growth. I think this has been my one over-performer all year! How sad a year it's been. Temp up to 31.2/31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
