dendrite Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 It's been snowing light, but nicely, for the last couple hours, but we've only managed a couple tenths per hour due to the compaction rate. Up to 21.4F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 What caused me to only come up with 6"? Sports like Westford, and Acton had 9"....it wasn't the ocean. I was swamped at work, so couldn't pay close attention, but I can see why area n of me got more...why west?? Scooter or Will? Just curious...

weatherMA Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Well it was up until exit 23..lol. Good enough. Haha, I know. I'll take my 7" and run. The band was insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Scooter or Will? Just curious... I'm neither, but I'm going to say that the mid levels closing off where they did favored the FIT-CON-DAW-LWM area for heaviest snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Pounding here, Definitely 1-2"/hr ratesLol I just got in from cleanup, looked at the radar said wow Jeff is getting pounded, read through the thread, saw the bellyaching, went back and refreshed my cache to make sure I wasn't looking at old data, smoked, how much?

radarman Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Well now many of the people in CT valley of MA and into SNH can stop whining. The winter has been spreading the love. Lil Debbie is now Lil weenie. North of Springfield the majority of the valley got 1-2" on a 4-6" forecast. It's true there have been events that have done relatively well this winter, but I wouldn't hold this event up. I don't blame shadowing, them's just the breaks of the surface track and banding. MBY was extremely lucky to get in on the westernmost edge of the band, still hoping to see totals from Monson and Brimfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 We'll be saving this data and revisiting at the office. Yeah post some stuff if you can. I wish I looked more up there..but the mid levels were awesome there. I have some stuff here. You can see the theta-e plume right up into NH. Notice the 925 and 850 convergence with 40-50ktt winds suddenly stopping in srn and SE NH. You can see 700mb winds trying to converge with SW winds in VT and winds trying to go S in SE NH. Also that's a great s/w look at 500mb. GFS was probably a little too far SE with the deep layer lift, but you can surmise how it could be further NW.

CoastalWx Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Scooter or Will? Just curious... I'd have to look back at radar, but I know they were snowing sooner than you as well...just to your north. I'd also have to look at radar to see any discernible differences. I know it was favored more NE from you...but I don't remember radar looking bad for you. I do remember the band just to your NW that nailed ASH. I did notice the echoes were not very smooth here probably owing to the convective nature of the bands. Further north..you lost the true instability, but then translate to a more consistent frontogenic forcing kind of deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 What caused me to only come up with 6"? Sports like Westford, and Acton had 9"....it wasn't the ocean. I was swamped at work, so couldn't pay close attention, but I can see why area n of me got more...why west?? 2 things 1. the precip broke out steadier and heavier for like an hour or two from 495 W and N and sort of trained the same areas before areas SE got in on it as it overspread E mass 2. the qpf broke up a bit in the pm in spots over you and esp se for a bit. it occured the same time that byt not directly related the giant lift that was over like Franklin to TAN and PYM sort of died out as it reached say Sudbury to milton to Scooter a archive or radar loop will show this well. radar started showing holes of sortes in mod-hvy preicp SE of 495 for a bit... the second reason is why areas in bristol county near tan and interior pym county did better than N of bos....winchester...stoneham...wakefield ....that weenie band just weakened for the fun of it.

N.

tamarack Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 It's been steady moderate snow since about 5, probably 3" new, and the solid band of 30-35 dbz is breaking up, though I could see another 1-2" here, right on the forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Latest snow core... 6.3" new 0.21" liquid 30:1 ratio...lol. This is the air that PF and jspin get via upslope that vaporizes in half within hours. Grand total is 12.6" new with 0.55" liquid so the QPF wasn't far off. Depth is 35". 21.9F with -SN continuing.

dendrite Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Looks like there's some issues with the Salisbury COOP weighing gauge, but CON pulled off 12.0" via 0.65" liquid through 7pm so same idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Good exmaple of how big omega in snowgrowth region with really heavy rates in short period can make an accurate QPF forecast into an overperformer on snow totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Ended up with "only" 6.4" here. It did rip really hard during my commute, down to under 1/10 mile but not lasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Wachusett looked like they got 8" or so near the summit. Leominster got croaked, as did Lunenburg. If that band had just been 5-10 miles further west I could have cleaned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I knew that mid levels were more favorable to my n and ne, but I was surprise that just to my west did significantly better, as well. No complaints....awesome season.

Heaviest 4 inches I've ever shoveled.not bad here, more sugar, Garth said it was powder in Brooklyn, looks like the last inch was cake here. I shoveled off the shed tonight, with roof blowoff and being in the shade solid 24 on it, heavy as a mofo . This is one solid pack, can see what's going to happen, it's going to sponge up the rain then hard freeze up. Lol going to be a long run of coverage.
