Brian5671 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 This is just snow that acts like rain...no latitude or elevation for me... White rain. It's not even sticking to colder surfaces here anymore-raw nasty day 32 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Huh? Really - I don't think so. I just looked back over the more robust model types and they all have this a daylight thing that decays slowly toward dark and terminates mid evening as flurries... No..none of them had/have that.the most accumulations are expected after about 4:00pm..it's always been modeled as such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 White rain. It's not even sticking to colder surfaces here anymore-raw nasty day 32 degrees Yup, and we pounded this point over the last couple of days, that at this time of year, ...even an overcast that seems thick and imposing, you gotta really have some heftier fall rates and/or colder than this to get the job done.

CoastalWx Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Sticking to the trees now. Definitely seems colder as the snow is blowing around. Need the rates though, but pretty dam good for daylight on 3/28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 This is just snow that acts like rain...no latitude or elevation for me...

Juliancolton Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Majorly fluffy stuff under this instability axis. 0.4" of snow so far for about .015" of liquid. Bit of a weenie observation, but there we are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Yeah I'm not sure what they were thinking? Maybe they thought just heavy snow all day..This has always been modeled as a 2 part event. One early morning thru midday..then a lull or where it lightened up and then the main show was always supposed to be after about 4:00 as the INV sets up. Scooter and I even brought this up yesterday. You can actually see signs of it now as there's echoes moving nw and se.I just looked back through the 18z/00z/6z models over the past 24 hours and really can't find much of anything in the mesos (NAM/RGEM/WRFs/SREFS) along with the globals that strongly indicate what you are saying with a 2 part event. All have pretty steady light precip output every 3-hours throughout the day today into this evening, tapering off by 8pm.What specifically did you see to think 2-part event aside from a showery look to the precip fields?

I saw higher qpf in the morning hours..then what seemed like bit of a lull..and then as the inv sort of takes over for western areas ..that's when they cash in..while over ENE it's more from the comma head. It seems like everything is still sort of evolving..and should "fill in "as the afternoon wears on Most of the stuff looked to me like snowed at least thru midnight to varying degrees. But as Tip trashed me..I'm not a met..so what do I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 This is just snow that acts like rain...no latitude or elevation for me... I was able to measure .25" this a.m. but since then nothing is sticking. Snow is falling, but useless since I can't measure it so it = 0 accum since earlier today, unless something changes later.

No surprises - Yup. Had that for a brief period this a.m, when it stuck, but now, just a late season white rain event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian5671 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 heavier stuff back in here, blowing in the wind, pretty cool to see. Melting on contact everywhere so it's just an air show. On another note, 31 at high noon on March 28th is impressive, another -15 to even -20 from what it's supposed to be this time of year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Rap says watch out from about Ginxy up to ORH later on towards 00z and perhaps up towards Ray. Pretty strong inverted trough look. The snow will begin to stick better as the sfc really cools down. Even up around 950mb cools a decent amount as we go through the next 8-10 hours.

By then it may be a residual band or something over a few towns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Looking at the radar, it looks like you have the main precip shield slowly moving NE, and what looks like an inverted trough signature from ALB to HPN-BDR. You have to wonder if that's how it goes and that inverted trough sort of slides from ALB down through western CT and Long Island...while the main precip shield slides northeast up the coast?

powderfreak Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 My folks near Albany just sent a picture and they were down to bare ground, but now it looks like the grass may be covered again. Looks like at least 1-2" there and didn't even look wet (ie not pasting to trees and stuff). Watch eastern NY come in with like 3-4" out of this.

This is def a nowcasting type event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Sticking to the trees now. Definitely seems colder as the snow is blowing around. Need the rates though, but pretty dam good for daylight on 3/28. don"t tell Mr Met. There are spots thruout SNE with sticking snow and good rates and this was most definitely two parts, northern fringe of CCB then INVT. All models snow for most of us until midnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All models snow for most of us until midnight From now on I ignore the deranged ,unstable met. nice look again to radar as it's quickly filling back in over most of CT. Sky is darkening again. Still have very light snow falling.but heavier returns encroaching 30.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
