ORH_wxman Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Radar starting to come together in E CT and up toward ORH...should be decent for a few hours. Headed out for a hike in Holden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Sort of fitting for this winter that the heaviest precipitation is moving through the area with temps too high to support snow while the areas with better (although still marginal) temp profiles are getting the shaft. I suppose I should be happy that I got anything though. lol -SN 31F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm completely dumbfounded. Didn't expect rain....so much for evaporational cooling, and locking in the radiational cooling with cloud cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't expect rain....so much for evaporational cooling, and locking in the radiational cooling with cloud cover. rad cooling doesn't necessarily get locked in by clouds. Clouds reemit longwave rad back to the sfc. It can limit insolation and mixing, but only to an extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can limit insolation and mixing, but only to an extent. That's fine, but a few different mets were discussing why that particular phenomenon was one of the reasons to favor snow. Wasn't enough, at least initially....anyway, apparently 2 miles n of me is pounding away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Rad cooling helps for a degree or two, but two things...one is that it warned at 950mb. Two.....temps do eventually creep up, but not a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I can't stand about this particular locale....never close enough to avail of oes, yet just close enough to the ocean to endure frequent 32.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 rains of this ilk.

radarman Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Little aggregate snow pellets gave way to beautiful fluffy flakes in Amherst earlier. Snowed moderately for a short while but really nothing more than a heavy coating. More like a very light coating in Belchertown however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
