Hambone Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Eyeballing it from my office in Medway, I'd say we're at about 1" to 1.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Watching that band ever so painstakingly slow move north Getting dark to the southwest in No Win .. it's almost here. Should be some fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 About 5" on the ground already here in Plaistow, NH. Local weather stations are still saying we "might see 2-4 inches by dark" but seem disconnected with the fact that we had that already by noontime. Am I right that I should be still expecting 10" additional or will I really only get about 5" additional from the main storm? Seems like I'll certainly get more overnight that during the day today, no? I'd like to see you in a more concentrated band through the evening to get there, but I can't completely rule it out. Just got a report of 7.5" WNW of Seabrook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Any chance we get into good bands up here? You'll have a chance this evening and overnight but it will be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSnowman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Still not at 2". Good thing I'm jumping ship and heading to Boston to hopefully play on TV with Jim Cantore. Can any of you guys on Twitter mention me on his twitter feed (I'm @CoryPez) so he'll be more inclined to? I'm going to talk to Kocin in a bit about the storm and I'll have him contact Jim too.

Digityman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Anyone see any dim sun today? Opened up here for a few minutes. Was still snowing but could see where the sun is. -4.2 and SN (soon to be SN+)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOSTA Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 11.5°F AMAZING! SN- A good band rotating in and up. After that initial OES kind of a drag. 3.5 -4" of gravy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Can someone give a 3 liner on why TDWR is better at depicting these OES bands? I understand the shorter wavelength and higher resolution, but intensities don't match what you see on NEXRAD. Elevation? Example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hildy Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 My folks up in Groveland had about 8 inches as of about 2:15, and still snowing moderately. I'd say we have at least six inches with moderate snow continuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1388693126.309929.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1388693155.510571.jpg OES is shallow...the beam from Taunton scans that area around 3000 ft up while TDWR is hitting around 1300 ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bostonseminole Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 8.3f. Moderate snow. 4.5" with lots of blowing snow, should be at 6-7" by 6pm I would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Simply, it's closer to those bands. I don't think resolution or wavelength is different? Maybe? I believe they are, because the TDWR will suffer more from attenuation. It would have to be a smaller wavelength in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 This is incredible... highest ratio snow I have ever seen, bar none! I swiped off my front steps, which are wood, and serve remarkably well as a snow board, one hour ago, and now there is a new inch that is almost completely transparent. 7F, Ayer Mass with S- That's the other thing... I am wondering if there is an unusually low level snow growth region in the sounding, because we have at times been close to S, with visibility ..est .75 mi during the day, and radar has been now where close to that suggestion at any time up this way. Although, there does appear to be a interesting SE --> NW motion so there some layer doing something interesting up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radarman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I believe they are, because the TDWR will suffer more from attenuation. It would have to be a smaller wavelength in that case. Yeah TDWRs are C band (5cm) Nexrads are S Band Also TDWRs have a .55 degree beamwidth, very narrow. Nexrads are .96 degrees I believe. TDWRs have 125 meter gatespacing, nexrads 250 meter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sounds like you guys are getting the classic upslope/lake effect type snow right now... low reflectivity, easily accumulating stuff. The type of thing where you have a few inches and can still see the ground, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
