dendrite Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I am rooting it on from my plane about to depart philly to orlando. Gogo internet onthe flt so I can properly monitor....anything falling on youbrian? Just some light snow showers...nothing accumulating yet. It's just blowing near horizontal with these 25-30mph winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I wouldn't think that N-S heavy band will make it to Central NH looking at the model QPF. However the low is really wound up looking at the IR Sat. I have seen really intense lows through back precip much further than forecasted and this band is making steady west progress. It will be really interesting to see how far it gets this evening. Boy, the models are really in agreement with the Sunday/Monday's bom. For some reason I am not really excited. Burnt so bad this week I am model shy. If it comes to fruition it will be just in time to help all the business that rely on winter sports especially in NH and Maine where we have not gotten much snow.

It's already showing signs of death over S ME as it approaches the NH border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 This is really insane looking...especially the E to W progression. That is nuts! Usually the 30-35dbz is 1"+ snowfall rates so that band is packing a punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 0.17" w.e. from the band at PWM...impressive. PSM down to 1.5SM. I thoroughly expect the band to die in E NH and end up here as flurries. Wow... that's gotta be near 2"/hr in the core of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlacroix4 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Heavy snow with the band! 3 inches total now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Heavy snow with the band! 3 inches total now! Awesome! I'm wondering if PWMan measured? I drove through Scarborough at the height .. thought visibility was like 500 feet or something. lol Anyway, only 1.0" at home but I know the PWM area had like 2 or 3". Great storm, though brief.

dendrite Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Decent -SN right now...getting some very light accumulation. That band is doing it's best to not fully die. Hopefully saturating up the low levels in advance of it will help. 21.7F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvysnow79 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 20F with -SN, a light dusting blowing around on the roads. Hoping that band holds together !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitemountainhiker Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Snow flurries have made it back to Lebanon. We've had so many days this month with snowflakes of some sort...just no actual major accumulation thus far. Hopefully that changes soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 about 2" here. getting home from work , which usually takes me 30 min, took nearly 2hrs. portland was a skating rink. but it was nice to finally see some wind-driven snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vehicles unable to drive up hills, trucks on the turnpike in ditches, multi-car accidents. Short but sweet. And I got to use my Mountain Mover, too! Don't know if what fell will melt so couldn't take the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Glad Maine is seeing some! Snowing here too--solid dusting (lol) out there so far. Who knew after all that, that we'd see some this far west afterall...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Raining this morning. Driving back from Gillette stadium yesterday we went through an intense band of snow south of Augusta. Cars off the road everywhere. Nothing around my house though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 1/4-1/2" overnight at my place... didn't take the time to measure. Around an inch on the mountain. Blowing surprisingly good up here this morning, already exceeding wind forecasts for the day again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainePhotog Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 1" of snow here on Winnegance Bay just before dark. Brunswick, just 10 miles to our west, recorded 2". Woke up this morning to 34° F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Event totals: 0.4” Snow/0.02” L.E. Tuesday 12/21/2010 6:00 A.M. update: When I got home yesterday evening around 6:00 P.M. flakes were falling, and the snow has been very light since that point. Our NWS point forecast for snow was a bit higher yesterday, but currently has us down for up to 3 inches through tomorrow. While we could always use another storm, conditions on and off piste were excellent around here over the weekend, and the snow from this event should only help. I added a couple of images from my Saturday and Sunday Bolton Valley reports below: Some details from today’s 6:00 A.M. observations are below: New Snow: 0.4 inches New Liquid: 0.02 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 20.0 Snow Density: 5.0% Temperature: 22.6 F Sky: Light Snow Snow at the stake: 7.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 You getting more snow Jayhawk? Congrats on your accums. I am in FL visiting family and it is painful reading Brian's posts....he is about 7 or 8 miles E of me as the crow flies. Hopeful for the weekend when I'm hoping. Trying to get a convo going on the overall synoptic set up and if it is likely to trend n and w. The only good thing about the lack of snow is an extended season of walking in the woods. I don't start the walks until the bugs finish in late Sept and then it usually ends with the snow cover in early Dec. I am enjoying the walks these days.

powderfreak Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 12z NAM continues to advertise a sizeable snow event for the Greens (particularly the upslope region) with a general .5-1" of QPF tomorrow afternoon and night. It has a very widespread area of >.25" QPF across VT, NH, and ME and given the high-ratio snowfall that has been occurring in these retro events, if the NAM is anywhere close to verifying there could be some Warning criteria snowfall in spots. I'm really liking this signal for us here in the northern Green Mtn upslope region though... also check out the QPF spread in the Whites. Big snows at Bretton Woods on the northern slope of the Presidentials, with downsloping on the SE side and a QPF hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 That band yesterday looked halfway decent (25-30 dbz) as it passed over MBY, but at my distance from GYX it's probably showing what's at 5,000' or so. Not a single flake made it to the ground. Had 0.1" 5-7 AM today, maybe a bit after that but it's all mid-upper 30s now, and with very light precip even the best of snowflakes can't survive. Here in Augusta the snow switched to --RA about 10, and the 1" snowcover (from last Wed snowband) has disappeared. Foothills forecast earlier was for 1-3" today, updated discussion cuts it to 1-2", and I suspect what we've seen is what we get. That would make 3-for-3 retro snow forecasts this month coming to naught, or nearly so. At some point the dreaded Klingon Snowshield will break down - can't come soon enough.
