DomNH Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Town plow went by but it was only sanding 1" attm Did you make sure it was all the way through the grass and there was no air underneath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yeah it's plenty cold aloft and temps steadily declined as the snow fell. Another reason 2m temps can fail. So does snow (or rain or sleet in Kevin's case) draw colder air down? I'm sure that is a basic met 101 question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Dom is not liking the way his fellow weenies are grilling him for his measuring practices. Measuring on grass is generally not a good practice...esp in lighter snows. But sometimes its the only thing you can measure on if you don't have something like a snow board (picnic table, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomNH Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Dom is not liking the way his fellow weenies are grilling him for his measuring practices. LOL, I only measure on the grass in desperate times. Usually I use the roof of the car when the pavement doesn't stick, but I went out so that wasn't an option either. I don't have any good place to put a snowboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 So does snow (or rain or sleet in Kevin's case) draw colder air down? I'm sure that is a basic met 101 question. I think "dragging colder air down" is sort of a myth. Two things can happen. Lift causes rising air which in turn cools a column, or you get evaporational cooling as rain or snow saturates the atmosphere and causes it to reach the dewpoint. I guess in theory rain or snow could drag cold air down with it, but I don't think that is the main cause for cooling. It makes for an easy explanation to the public though.

I didn't put out a snowboard this year - I must've used it on some project this summer. So far I'm using the ol' deck railing and will use vehicles also.

dryslot Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Snow continues to fall SN, Up to 2.5" so far radar looks good here with 20 dbz stuff, Been steady with 15-20 dbz's........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that's cool .. I'm getting sh*tty snow growth. 0.2" still, despite snow falling for the past 15 hours. I do see the heavier part of the snow shield is entering my area so maybe that'll do something about the lackluster performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJBASHB Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 The band was more intense in extreme N ORH county when it first was rotating down. Hunchback Dave is also decently west...Ashburnham is probably ground zero for this event in our county. Good points About .25-.5" is from yesterday, didn't clear the deck.

CoastalWx Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Nrn ORH county always seem to do a little better, even with these lows moving precip west. That extra 1000 feet helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidcoastME Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 About 3" maybe 4 in waterville, me. I would say there is roughly 4 inches here in Bath, Maine. Has been snowing at varying intensities since 7 this morning. It is coming down fairly hard now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWMan Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I would say there is roughly 4 inches here in Bath, Maine. Has been snowing at varying intensities since 7 this morning. It is coming down fairly hard now. That's great to hear. Finally picked up in intensity and started accumulating around here at about 6:00, and is coming down nicely now. Hopefully tomorrow's forecast high in the upper 30's won't torch it away as happened to our snowcover yesterday. I was surprised at how quickly it disappeared given the cloud clover and the low sun angle. Of course, the warm north (maritime wraparound) wind and a few raindrops didn't help.

Logan11 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 It won't amount to much this far west, but some flurries are commencing as the area of -SN is pushing west to west southwest from Vermont. 23F and pretty windy here. We have about 0.8" here at gray. It's been coming down pretty good for the last few hours and the temp has dropped to 30-31. roads are very slippery.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 better dynamics getting to Bangor now. RUC looks like puke but it's been terrible with this event post the snow Monday. water vapor looks okay. Entire thing is about to begin to rapidly drop S.
