CoastalWx Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 This cold shot the next 2 days looks to be the coldest yet. mid-upper 30's for hills tonight..and we stay in the 50's tomorrow with wind Looks similar for your area. Coldest air is N an E of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Without looking I thought you had some sort of nrly wind at the surface. East winds a few miles offshore forced up and over the front near PWM. I bet 12z GYX sounding had east winds just aloft. Light northerly at the surface, ripping east just aloft.

OceanStWx Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Light northerly at the surface, ripping east just aloft. Just looking at that, wow were we primed for ridiculous rates. Basically dendritic growth for 300 mb or so. No wonder we piled up 10" before lunch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder we piled up 10" before lunch time. The difference with this is that I remember the radar echoes had that smooth look to them right over PWM. Before the Jan '05 blizzard there was a band moving into Cape Ann that was more cellular in nature. It's almost like this was a mini but potent localized WAA event for PWM with those mild marine winds moving up and over the CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Wow that is a sick sounding. That depth of saturation to 700mb definitely enhanced whatever low level action there was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Going to be a cold day at work tomorrow... packing the hat and gloves, winter jacket. -2C at H85 tomorrow morning on NW flow...will probably be holding around freezing for a good chunk of tomorrow. Crossing my fingers for some rime or some passing frozen shower tomorrow morning above 3,500ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Very different character indeed. Well there was some good snows going on across NNE that morning on easterly flow just above the deck. Way back here in NW New England we picked up 10-12" of snow on February 8th before it even started snowing in SNE. Were the Maine accums part of that northern moisture stream, too or was it all more OE in nature? Maine was the only spot to capitalize on both those earlier snows and the bigger snows later on. But that storm actually over-produced up here with a foot in Stowe, even though that was dwarfed by the massive snows in SNE later that evening/night.

weatherMA Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Good color showing up now...we should be at peak in another 7-10 days. Next weekend could be absolutely awesome in the mountains with cool nights and warm days and foliage well on its way/ approaching peak. It should be awesome all week really...but wont be able to get out and enjoy it until the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossing my fingers for some rime or some passing frozen shower tomorrow morning above 3,500ft. BTV mentions chance for snow to mix in later tonight...hoping to see something up there at 8am. Upslope showers continue and what a raw day it's been. For precipitation chances...still chance for --rw west/ main focus over hir terrain/northwest facing slopes as evening progresses. Chance for --SW to mix in at elevations above 2000ft west/ no chance for any accumulate possibilities... aided by 850 temperatures 0c to -2c.

Typhoon Tip Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Well for CT. I think he was thinking more his area, but yeah it was a high impact storm across all three states pretty much. Since 78 ,...whatever. I disagree with that and believe fully that memories of last February supersede the value. No storm that enters and exits in 12 to 15 hours and dumps low impact powder can be considered a huge impact. That's just not true. That snow compressed to less than a foot in less than 2 days. Also, you shouldn't even mention that storm in the same sentence as "since 78" -- in terms of high impact, 1992 was way way beyond that deal last february. Not even in the same f ballpark. So was 1997, April. By "event", we are talking about multi-faceted, e-commerce disruptions and society problems. Like, massive grid failure, marine destruction, much broadly inclusive spectrum. That was NOT last February, other than a day and a half of altering the ability to go the movies. Big whoop. I am not saying it wasn't a good storm .. Hell, it was a great storm. But it didn't do much beyond lower visibility dramatically. You guys seemed to immediately confuse the "event budget" idea, with any event at all. Put it this way, if it has been 20 years since a 1 in a 10 year storm, than your statistically over-due. Your event budget is stressed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So was 1997, April. Feb 13 was extraordinarily high impact here in CT. The state was basically shut down. With the exception of oct 2011 it was the best and most impactful blizzard I've ever seen.
