Ginx snewx Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Is there a good thread dedicated to just the LES event on this board? I haven't found any in the subforms. Seeing the pictures in here, would love to see more!how the heck did you miss that pinned thread in the Upstake NY subforum , lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 how the heck did you miss that pinned thread in the Upstake NY subforum , lol I like that they changed the name of the thread to specify the event and broke it away from the General NY/PA/QC threads...that storm thread is a good candidate for a bookmark for later re-reading.

CoastalWx Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Anyone reporting snow? Radar looks funky in central Mass... Froude numbers are high.

powderfreak Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 nice ski shots today,just knew this air mass would produce for you.Yeah we got lucky...Stowe and Smuggs were in the band, Jay got 4-6" and I heard only a dusting to 1-2" at MRG from a buddy who hiked there. All reports I've seen from Smuggs are also of like 8-10" up high (above 2,500ft). It was fluffy obviously. In town I had 3.5" overnight and since there was no wind got a good sample in the Stratus gauge...came out to 0.17" for a 21:1 ratio, and it felt similar on the mountain. Anyway, sometimes it works out well. Good call though on being aggressive. Climo says this is the time of year where these types of events are most frequent...though it's anecdotal (and I'm not saying it doesn't happen late winter and early spring, because it does often), the highest concentration of these mesoscale surprises in central/northern VT are in the earlier portions of the season.

Cold Miser Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Nice photos but it's really localized... You can drive 10 minutes ...well, if snowy roads permitted, and you'd be down to almost nothing. I grew up for a while in Kalamazoo Michigan, and I can remember seeing dark gray wall to the SW, and bright white walls in the NE horizons, as the LE bands typically split around the city. We'd be getting nothing; inside those bands were over a foot. The photos for me are not as epic as they may be for some, because these things are so tiny, with major impact for very few compared to regional scales. Wow. Tip enters the room, and sucks the life right out of the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 30 dBZ snow overhead, but nothing is reaching the ground save for a few stray flakes from time to time. Dry air FTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 How is this not impressive? This stuff is nuts. 5 miles. The difference in 3-5 feet of snowfall. Are you kidding me? Occurring in a series of counties, where the total counties population is over 1 million people? The actual impact zone is obviously less than 1 million, but Erie County (BUF and the southtowns) alone has 919,000 people. People can't get to work, huge populations cut off, this type of event indirectly or direction affects a good deal of pepole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 How is this not impressive? This stuff is nuts. 5 miles. The difference in 3-5 feet of snowfall. Are you kidding me? It is quite impressive. I can see how being on the wrong side of that or being far removed might induce a jealousy tainted or indifferent meh' but still pretty damn impressive. Once in a life time type stuff. Maybe Tip's point was to imagine an event of this magnitude hitting millions as opposed to a few hundred thousand. There has certainly been a fairly populated area crushed by this event. Having driven over Rt 128 today (from RT2) and seeing it jammed at 3pm it immediately made me think about an over performing swfe or coastal storm moving in earlier than expected on a weekday and then going to town. A lot of heartache would be falling from the sky. Then follow it up immediately with bn temps and and overrunning snow to ice event or straight up ice storm.

ROOSTA Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 We saw what 12/13/07 did...and that was a very accurate forecast. When you think back it was total disbelief (general public) in the forecast. Employers let everyone leave at the sametime. I won a lot of bets on that one.
