ORH_wxman Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 NAM is like isothermal paste for N ORH county tonight between 03z-06z...gonna be a close one. Could be a quick burst of +SN for a couple hours. It actually is a burst of heavy snow too over toward KBED and Ray's hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 That would be funny if Ginxy ends up getting 8-10" at Sunday River a couple days after we made fun of the NAM for showing that. The other guidance has definitely trended more toward the juicey NAM solutions than vice-versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its true, I still think somewhere in the .5" range is pretty reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Here's the RGEM at 03z this evening....it shows very heavy snow just north of the pike. It's a fairly short window, but someone could pick up a quick 2" or so if this pans out...it will have to be intense rate though to overcome the warm air advection going on in the mid-levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Could be good for someone having some cold beer Yeah that would def end the bet right there....on a more important note, the RGEM continues to show a major event for CNE/NNE....I mean, this isn't advisory snow that its showing, this is like solid warning criteria for a pretty large region. And we're within 24 hours now...its like 6 runs in a row for the generally reliable RGEM. I'm starting to think that up around dendrite and over to Maine, some people are going to be surprised Even your backyard is looking like 6" on that map.

Yes, Its been rock steady, I like the RGEM when we get close in, Its been pretty consistent overall this winter, Steve will be doing powder turns at SR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 You can really get a sense at how powerful the Equinox sun is by noting the ~15F difference in temperatures between where the sun was unabated during the morning hours, back east, compared to where the clouds arrived and effectively capped the chill Makes me wonder about the possibility of boundary layer troubles for a few areas that don't get that advantage of dummy low-level cold thickness. But then I checked the DPs and figure this is typical razor thin spring "fake" warmth. We insert moisture into this column and we'd wet bulb toward freezing real quick. That all aside ... is this a SW flow event ? I'm looking at sat, rad, and models alike, and they all take everything NW of the region. Or does SW flow event only pertain to snow? Or, considering, you can have cold rain nor' easters, but that does not make them structurally different than snowy ones. You must also have to consider SW flow events that are cold rain, in the same vein. I am somewhat impressed by the NAM's continuity with this. 72 hours ago, ...when this would have been the 84 hours prog, that very temporal edge panel depicted just about precisely what the consensus is indicating, per the latest run cycle. And, it has persistently shown this depiction in the interim periods. Interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Yes, Its been rock steady, I like the RGEM when we get close in, Its been pretty consistent overall this winter, Steve will be doing powder turns at SR I think riding is pretty much done down our way, although I saw the tucker groomer going through windham last night. I had to do a double take, cause it's just ice on the trails and maybe 2-3" base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most compact, thick bases I have seen for this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Euro def likes a quick burst of snow around pike and north. It has some sleet and ZR in there too...esp high terrain. 2m temps are fairly cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mag side crank bearing piston and jug. Dang Doos! I knew I shouldn't have kept it out of warranty. This is the last hoo rah for the family. Maybe a day trip or two in April snow depending but it has been an absolutely fabulous year for us. edit: pic is too big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Euro is still in that half inch qpf range...maybe a bit more in the jackpot zones. So I'm thinking there could be a stripe of 6-8" somewhere up around the whites over to interior W ME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be an interesting system to watch unfold. It might have some big omega in the SGZ which can do some fun things. On the other hand though its not exactly the most attractive looking system. Kind of this WAA thump into a dry CAD airmass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most compact, thick bases I have seen for this time of year. Is that measured right on the trail? Groomers can pull snow in from the sides, but windam/raymond trails have maybe 3-12" base on the trail, but I can see a lot of dirt in places. Off trail, it's a different story. I was just surprised to see the groomer since there just wasn't much snow to play with. I just picked my brides up at JPS. $1400 later she is back on the trail. 41 days out of warranty On the upside we are heading to Eustis tomorrow for 3 days! Thanks for your forecasts this winter. Would like to get up that way, but unlikely. Caribou, Milli and local rides were all decent to exc this season. No complaints.
