moneypitmike Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 just hoping if the flash freeze is possible DPW is aware. 12-18 in the VT MTS last night,pretty sweet. That's awesome--I wasn't aware of that. Looked like a lot of the CT/NJ/NY folks were prepping their Mt. Snow area homes. Traffic backed up on Colrain Shelburne RD--80% with out-of-state plates. Sure sign of winter. 44.8/27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 You wonder if road crews are prepared or have any idea . There's gonna be a ton of accidents tomorrow. Usually you see them out pretreat Ing the roads, but nada today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 I definitely could see a little second area of QPF down near the south coast like Kevin alluded to. Just has that look, but decent lift through a moist column over the whole area pretty much. I don't think this is a >1" deal for most though. I'd watch for a sneaky inch or so around Foxborough tomorrow morning...SE MA with a little elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Looks like any snow ends around 9AM. It might hold on in far SE MA until lunchtime. A weak low pressure forms along the frontal boundary as it gets near the coast and it will try and slow down the eastward progression of the back edge.

CoastalWx Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Here is the 12z SPC WRF. You can see how it sort of organizes the band as it moves SE, but I wouldn't expect bands of S++ or anything like that. Probably some smooth light to perhaps embedded mdt bursts. http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/mpyle/spcprod/12/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 This is kind of how I envision the radar looking tomorrow. Nice couple hours of mod snow https://twitter.com/weathertap/status/399949968443596800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Cmc keeps it snowing in Boston till noonish and beyond SE. Yeah ti kind of blew up the band as it exits stage right...that would prob give some areas 1-2"....but I think its a little too bullish. Regardless, it should be fun to track this little event. The brutal cold (albeit brief) behind it will be a real taste of late December climo too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Nice, some light snow wil Like Will and Ryan said, it may not come together for all areas, but it has a sneaky look to it where people probably throw the mets under the bus because of some sort of high impact of icy roads (esp elevated interior). "They never mentioned this..." could be something thrown around. But, this forum did.

Damage In Tolland Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 We've seen this enough to know the temp deal. You can envision hill towns staying 29-31 for highs on Wed.

eyewall Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 We haven't had any measurable snow yet at KBTV despite what the mountains have. For tonight model soundings consistently indicate about a 1 to 2 hour window for snow behind the front here (Most beginning around 11pm). This is is a narrow window and it will be tough to get in a measurable here before it closes. After that of course we have to wait through the coming warm up. I wish it was a daylight event so I could go to some higher terrain for some squalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 What do u mean, u think it is gonna slow any accums , or more u mean it will melt snow later that is able to coat ground I just think the relatively warm soil temps will melt a lot of the snow that does accumulate. I don't think the snow will have any problem accumulating unless we have a period of rain 1st that moistens up the grass/roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Tomorrow's going to be a fun morning here. Yeah if the guidance is correct, it should be a wintry morning. Watching steady snow fall (even if light) is always one of the more exciting parts of the early season...that first time where you see more than just a flurry or few mangled flakes. So far, it appears the system is behaving itself off to the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I scanned back and didn't see any mention. Also, I tried google and was right away successful at finding, but this bares some resemblance to the fabled grid-lock morning of Dec, 2003, when an arctic boundary and attending snow squalls dropped a half inch, which immediately melted, then within moments sheen-ed over, sending cars careening. Not sure the profiles are the same, but the general gist of having a sharp boundary and crashing temp/thickness reminds me of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
