SlantStickers Anonymous Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 34 and rain/occasional blob in salem, I'm told its "snowing at an angle" back in Peabody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxsniss Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Is rain in Boston due to strong east winds warming boundary layer (as the surface temps map suggests), or actually warmer temps aloft? I didn't see any models bringing the warmer temps aloft (850mb and higher) until mid-afternoon. Relatedly, do we think strong omega can cool the column with the heavier echoes approaching for at least a quick hour or 2 of snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Picking up a bit here in Scarborough. What are you thinking for the Portland area at this point? I'm thinking closer to 6", gun to my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It is just that on radar the heavier echoes don't seem to want to come north. Sorry for the meltdown. snow growth sucks too but might be improving just now. If we can have some heavy snow for a few hours this afternoon and end up with 8 that would help me feel better. Thank you for the words of comfort for us weenies... I think we will, it's just that SNE tends to do better with these stationary WAA bands as initial baroclinic zone tightens aloft. Then it starts moving northeastward as forcing gets stronger. We have to hope for the pivot for the big totals, because we typically don't do well with the wraparound.

moneypitmike Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 My daughter in the Blue Ridge just texted me a picture. Visibility down to 1/4 mile or less. Snow started there last evening.

Relatedly, do we think strong omega can cool the column with the heavier echoes approaching for at least a quick hour or 2 of snow? mesomap_11am.jpg It's low level warmth. I still have cored rain drops and sometimes it almost looks like it wants to snow but the lowest part of the BL is torched. Many underestimated the effects of a retreating high....

OceanStWx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Don't like the sound of that Models were hinting at the bent back warm front reaching to near the foothills. That's why I kind of always liked the highest totals there, just on the cool side of that front. You'll be better off than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterLand Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Boston maybe lucky to get an inch. Big bust. I don't see Boston reaching anywhere close to 6", as was predicted. Rain/snow mix in Brookline now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
