CoastalWx Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Looks like the accumulations were confined to above 2000'....esp 2500'. A little higher than I thought at first...probably partly related to this being not the most classic form of upslope...but impressive regardless. Can't believe even Dendrite got half inch or so. If anything the Lakes region overachieved in that one band which goes to show you how important it was to get heavy precip rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything the Lakes region overachieved in that one band which goes to show you how important it was to get heavy precip rates.It was just insane last night for 2-3 hours. There were basically 2 bands of accumulating snow, but the lull allowed some of it to melt so the 2nd band pretty much just recovered what was lost from the 1st.It's pretty easy to see when the 2 occurred... I just wish some of it had survived until daylight. It's amazing, but if you fast forwarded this storm a week to June 1 and account for the climo increase in temps, I think it still may have at least mixed here. I have a few more pics, but they're on the gf's cam...she'll have to upload them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Awesome! That same band is coming through here now, but it has weakened, and we're just getting some 39 degree sprinkles. If we could just get some heavier precip here, I could possibly see some flakes mixing down. I think you were talking about this area - I think it moved just east of us and Coventry around 0220. I woke up at 0230 and as you can see it was over in Stafford Springs so I can't say for certain but There's a chance that this had some mixing in it. Those same echo intensities were mixing in flakes to our north so I don't see why not. In looking at the radar loop over night, it looks like some nice returns moved through Worcester and parts of central Mass...anyone see any flakage there?

That's actually what surprised me was the lack of consistent rates across a wider area. I know it was all about the meso banding but it seemed really narrow. I think a winder variety of places like could have seen mixing over night like NH did if the bands had been a little larger. A lot of western areas seemed pretty "dry" after the early stuff yesterday. I would suppose this would have been that place that it was reported, but I know that Greenfield saw flakes in the one band between 2-4 that rotated through Mass. and I'm wondering how many other people saw flakes from that.

dendrite Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 CON reported no snow, but I'm pretty sure a human observer would've reported some mixing in around 3z based on their obs and the obs from our Bow friends.

I bet a lot of places in CT and ORH area had at least mixing, but the time of night makes it tough to report since most are sleeping. It definitely was cold enough so long as precip rates are sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Yeah, I watched in amazement as that happened during the October 2011 storm... it's unreal how little snow it takes for trees to snap.Easier in October than in May, when the trees are full of sap and more limber. By October, much of the water is gone, in prep for winter. However, trees that weakened during winter get found out once foliage fills in, usually by the first strong winds of late spring. This time it's a bit different. lolOnly got down to 40 here, too far east for the real fun. 2nd straight cocorahs report with just over 1", May now up to 6.58".

CoastalWx Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Actually Marshfield VT had 4" of snow at 1600' so those elevations did get it. Good to see. However I think it's more localized in the favored upslope areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah....I had an area go through about 10 minutes before I woke up that probably did and probably just missed a couple of our other posters.

Allsnow Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 2003 was pretty crappy. Other chilly Memorial Day weekends include 1877, 1883, 1884, 1887, 1888, 1889, 1890, 1896, 1901, 1907, 1917, 1925, and 1930. Some of those featured at least one day with highs stuck in the 40s. As one might guess many of those weekends had lots of rain. Thanks for this post. Was it colder around NYC metro yesterday then 2003? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkO Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I can see snow above about 2500' this am. I got about 1/2" mostly from the first band Dendrite mentioned. It was absolutely ripping. A friend up the hill@ 1800' took a photo with about 1.5" otg. After the first band so I'm sure he got a little more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes... that is daunting. You really could just toss the first 15 pages of this thread which is Kevin talking to himself about 70s and sun on the Cape and start from that point on and rename it Memorial Day snow.
