powderfreak Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I'm busting balls if you can't tell. I would weenie out right with you if I lived there. I respect the mesoscale stuff, but you have to understand a little busting is come your way when it's 38F and sunny on a January day and you are ripping dendrites while in the 20s. Pure prolific OES snow is hard to come by. Back in January '99, the town that I live in now had 18" From mostly OES but enhanced from Seeder feeder aloft. In very cold storms we get some ocean enhanced snow which in '94 amounted to quite a bit here. Spots near here and just south got 20-30" in Feb '94 with a great deal from OES. We definitely get some enhancement from moisture off the Atlantic, but it is more prevalent when temps aloft are cold. It's all good dude, I know it's ball busting which is why I still post it, lol. Hopefully Jerry's 93-94 cold comes through and we can have some OES to track. What fascinates me is the salt water and nucleation process. I saw in the other thread that Will was talking about temps of only -5 to -6 will lead to nucleation, which is awesome. I usually have to see more normal -10C or colder at summit level to really get good snowflakes, but having the ability to do that at like -5 would be sweet. Now, how to get salty air up here... I would imagine the seeder feeder processes are more prevalent in coastal Mass during storms than pure OES under like mid-level fronto. You guys must see some awesome flakes during that stuff...with the low level maritime air keeping things moist straight to the surface, allowing those arms on the dendrites to grow nicely and aggregate too.

We all know that can't be true. Winds off the water mean rain mixes in along the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys must see some awesome flakes during that stuff...with the low level maritime air keeping things moist straight to the surface, allowing those arms on the dendrites to grow nicely and aggregate too. It definitely helps to have better flakes, although with so much moistiure, I notice the flakes are heavily rimed sometimes. On radar you see these cellular like features move in sometimes and usually that's when you get these bursts of those rimed flakes. OES can form easily with or without seeder feeder, it's just that day (Jan 99) we had WAA aloft and this helped fire up the dendritic process as these ice particles fell into the sratocumulus coming off the ocean.

moneypitmike Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I am intrigued by it as much as these guys were posting every half hour about hodographs and EML for severe two hundred miles from them. Plus I do ski so I do reap the benefits. Upslope events being much more common than OES and longer lasting are probably why I never was enthralled by OES but OES is certainly a treat for EMA especially Phil and CWEAT. Looking forward to your top of Gondola pics. this weather change brings us that step closer. I enviously read all PF's posts. 48.0/46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Man today is raw... no rain so far but still only 53F with a 10-15mph north wind. Must be September again after the mid-week July weather. Temps ranging from 45-55F today from low valleys up to 2,000ft. Mansfield has tickled the upper 30s. You can really see the Berkshires and ORH Hills down into NE CT where temps are holding in the upper 50s to low 60s, vs. the mid to upper 60s in parts of the CT Valley and Coastal Plain.

moneypitmike Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 your daughter has a great voice. enjoy the splitting Thanks, Steve. Three bed fulls so far. Break time before unloading this one. Looks like I have another load or so to split, then back to sizing. No rest for the weary. (I wonder when the first misuse of 'weary' vs. 'wary' will take place this cold season and who will be the biggest offender). Man today is raw... no rain so far but still only 53F with a 10-15mph north wind. Must be September again after the mid-week July weather.

wxmanmitch Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 38.7° F for a low here, so it's our third night in the 30s. Yesterday was a classic cold, raw CAA upslope stratocumulus day here and we never escaped the mid 50s. Today looks nice, but already some cirrus, indicating WAA aloft.
