Ginx snewx Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I just checked Google. Portland Pie is a little over 250 feet from my window. I occasionally am losing the outline of the building. Hows the pie? god you guys are getting smacked up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 chuck em high. York county filling in nicely...you'll be in this awhile. GFS can take its Gulf of Maine QPF max and go home. I mean this is just perfect snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Nice little cold tuck behind the low in E MA where the CF brought things above freezing. yep even down here at work, flash froze from 35 to 30 in minutes, saw lots of station in nCT nRI go from like 28 to 20 in 30 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Will this stuff today vaporize or does it have some staying power? we had Sierra cement down here, will see when i get home, have not heard from Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Awesome event. Only 4.75" here, which is fine. I busted low a bit Great for SNH , Maine, CT Of course, CT somehow does better than you. They always pull it out of their arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 1/4 SM now...close to best snow of the whole storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 If you took the nose of the theta-e 850 tongue like Chris showed, combine with max 850-500vvs and good ratios. 12" was easily attainable. Perfect area for it to occur in NH deep in the colder air. Was not really a surprise to be honest up there. QPF queens might not see it...but all the factors lined up there.

Perfect area for it to occur in NH deep in the colder air. Was not really a surprise to be honest up there. QPF queens might not see it...but all the factors lined up there. I will say the theta-e axis really showed the NH areas well. I am surprised that 10+ totals will be so widespread up here. I thought duration would limit things. Of course we knew that convection would play a role, and did it ever. Definitely some vertical growth (and not just in the clouds) going on in NH around the time of those ridiculous hourly rates.

Yeah...not really a surprise in hindsight, but it's tough to go 20:1 with 0.50-0.75" of liquid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instability in the DGZ certainly helped I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yeah...not really a surprise in hindsight, but it's tough to go 20:1 with 0.50-0.75" of liquid. Right...but I mean it did look like a fluff bomb there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I will say the amount of QPF seemed higher up there which probably owes to some mid processes....that did surprise me a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yeah...not really a surprise in hindsight, but it's tough to go 20:1 with 0.50-0.75" of liquid. You know when you think about it, the soundings today were probably cooler than -6 C right up through H7. That's basically about a 300 mb deep DGZ when you factor in salt nucleation. Hindsight is 20/20, but that is definitely something I overlooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tough to go so far out on a limb and forecast conditions quite like this of course. Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Right...but I mean it did look like a fluff bomb there. I was leaning 4-7"/5-8" with 15:1 and about 0.40"-0.50" of liquid. I was worried about it getting it's act together a hair too late for mby and as it turns out I was just on the edge. Fun little storm. I can't wait to snowblow it.

sankaty Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Not at home in Middletown, CT. Judging by the nearby reports, does about 7" sound right? There was 4-5 inches at Sugarbush today on our car in the parking lot and was still snowing heavily when we left. Skiing was great and should be fantastic tomorrow.

I think you were right in the deformation area so you maxed out. That would explain it I think...basically everything available to force snow was over you area and down to MHT.

codfishsnowman Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 6 here final....its as light as air, reminds me of the feb 06 storm.....has to be 20 to 1 ratios....and it struggled to get into low 20s today which was way colder than i expected...def for awhile the heaviest rates since last years blizzard. my little dogs loved playing in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
