powderfreak Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Just measured 1.5"...6-7 hours of steady snow for that lol. Smallest flakes known to man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 All done unless we get something more from the stuff in NY state. 2.5" of which 1" or so fell in about 20-30 minutes around 7:30pm. Noted that Dendrite got about an inch less and he's about 25 miles to my SSE. Will be interesting to see what eek gets as everything was intensifying rapidly as it moved east. Next......

J.Spin Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Event totals: 2.0” Snow/0.09” L.E. Details from the 6:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 2.0 inches New Liquid: 0.09 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 22.2 Snow Density: 4.5% H2O Temperature: 23.4 F Sky: Snow (2-12 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 4.0 inches We’ve had roughly another inch since 6:00 P.M. observations. It seems to be of roughly the same density as what we’ve has so far, but I’ll check that in the next analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 1.5" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ono Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Went for a drive down to Jeffersonville- not much down there beyond a dusting to an inch maybe- though my car was dusted after 10 mins. Drove back up to the where 108 is closed off at the top of the notch- considerably more snow on the road up past the Smuggs village. ~2" on the ground there. Seemed density increased overall from what was falling earlier- possibly wind-affected and/or lower grain size, but the ~2" seemed pretty consistent. Not fluff/blower, but dry all the same. It was still snowing lightly up in the notch and the road slow going, but it's definitely slowed and the stars are visible here in the village now. Will call a rough 2" here, with no wind now. We'll see if the stuff in NY makes its way over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Maybe an inch here at most. I am definitely less than impressed but at least the ground is white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ono Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Looks like there's some southerly and westerly moisture converging along the CPV... pretty cool. See where this goes. Don't remember how to link the wunderground radar here... but it's looking like a squall line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ono Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I will let you know. Very interesting indeed. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk Seems like some of the residual squall line moisture from the west came in on the radar, and converged with a southerly batch coming up the CPV as we speak. Some 30 dbz returns on the radar. Interesting. The top of mansfield shows NW winds... So figure that in with a 0.5 reported froude. Don't know if it'll make it over the ridge here in Smuggs village- but light snow right now. Radar shows the ridge getting hit hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ono Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Wow. The radar shows the CPV getting lit up. Burlington up through Colchester... It it's making it to the ground, pretty wild. Snow has picked up here at Smuggs, coming straight down. But nothing crazy. Nice night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Kinda dumping here. well over 1"/hr briefly. See what tomorrow brings... Yeah I'll say....4-5" base area total so far and groomers are saying 6-8" upper mountain. I played it 4-6" for now but will check upper stake when I go out shortly. Dumping still. There are some monster drifts. Just walking to the base stake I was going through knee to thigh deep fluff on the breakovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Event totals: 7.3” Snow/0.30” L.E. I was surprised when I looked out around midnight and saw the stack that was on the snowboard, but presumably it was from those bands that were headed eastward from New York State. Details from the 12:00 A.M. and 6:00 A.M observations are below. Details from the 12:00 A.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 3.9 inches New Liquid: 0.18 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 21.7 Snow Density: 4.6% H2O Temperature: 23.7 F Sky: Snow (1-10 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 6.0 inches Details from the 6:00 A.M.

eyewall Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The Euro and GFS are now almost a complete miss with the coastal for this weekend. Whatever we get will be tied more so to the weakening inland low as per latest runs and that wouldn't be much, probably a dusting. It is another good one for eastern ME.

mahk_webstah Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 bumping my post from the other thread. why does gyx seem so snow friendly this morn? Reading this I was quite surprised how optimistic GYX was this morning. All snow in my forecast 80% snow likely. Mentioned mixed precip near the coast and in southern NH. I saw Ekster's name on the short term but it was another guy on long range. What I am reading in here indicates that the temps aloft will not support snow, or at least all snow. The guy on the long term was also honking a bit for Sunday night. Here it is: LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...AN INTERESTING SHIFT IN THE UPPER PATTERN TRIES TO TAKE PLACE THISWEEKEND DUE TO A BUILDING HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE AROUND 110W. ITBEGINS WITH A SOUTHERN SHORT WAVE THAT GETS EJECTED NORTHEAST TOOFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST SAT AND TRIES TO PHASE WITH A NORTHERNSHORT WAVE BEING DRIVEN EAST DUE TO THE BUILDING WEST COAST RIDGE.THIS RESULTS IN A NEGATIVE TILTED TROUGH OFF THE MID ATLANTICCOAST WHICH WILL SPAWN STRONG DEVELOPMENT OF A COASTAL LOW OFF THEMID ATLANTIC COAST. THE TRACK OF THIS STORM WILL BE CRITICAL ONHOW MUCH QPF REACHES THE AREA. WITH COLD AIR IN PLACE PTYPE SHOULDBE MAINLY IN THE FORM OF SNOW SAT/SAT NIGHT EXCEPT A MIX ALONG THECOAST. FOR NOW HIGH POPS FOR SAT INTO SAT NIGHT APPEAR TO REFLECTLIKELYHOOD OF AN EVENT BUT THE BIG QUESTION WILL BE ON AMOUNTS.MODELS DIFFER SOME ON POSITIONING OF TRACK SO CONFIDENCE ON TRYINGTO FIGURE ANY AMOUNTS WILL REMAIN LOW FOR NOW.ONCE THIS SYSTEM EXITS BY LATE SAT NIGHT ANOTHER STRONG UPPERSHORT DRIVES RAPIDLY SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES SUNDAY CAUSINGTHE LONG WAVE UPPER TROF POSITION TO MAKE A SHIFT TO THE EAST.ALTHOUGH MODELS ARE NOT SHOWING MUCH DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEMTHE PATTERN WOULD SUGGEST OTHERWISE AS PLENTY OF SENSIBLE/LATENTHEAT RELEASE WILL BE AT THE READY OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARDCONSIDERING THE VERY STRONG AMPLITUDE AND POTENTIAL NEGATIVE TILTTHAT MAY DEVELOP WITH THIS TROF BY SUN NIGHT. PREFER THE MOREPRONOUNCED EURO SOLUTION VS THE LESS AMPLITUDE OF THE GFS AND AFEW OTHER MODELS. SO FOR SUN AND SUN NIGHT WILL NEED TO CLOSELYWATCH TRENDS OF MODELS AND BROADBRUSH FOR NOW.

eyewall Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I should add the BTV discussion is also painful to read this morning and mentions the p-type concerns I had earlier in the week: .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...AS OF 406 AM EST WEDNESDAY...A POTENT SHORTWAVE ENERGY AT 500MBWILL PROGRESS QUICKLY TOWARD THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD, WITH THEPRIMARY LOW AROUND SOUTHEASTERN ONTARIO WHILE STRENGTHENINGSECONDARY LOW DEVELOPS OFF THE VA/OBX COAST BY FRIDAY NIGHT/EARLYSATURDAY MORNING. MODELS CONTINUE TO DIFFER ON TRACK OF BOTHPRIMARY AND SECONDARY LOWS. GFS KEEPS COASTAL LOW NEAR THE 40/70BENCHMARK, WHILE NAM AND ECMWF TRACKS SOUTH AND EAST. REGARDINGTHE PRIMARY LOW, IT DOES WEAKEN THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON SATURDAY,RESULTING IN MORE INVERTED TROUGH EXTENDING NORTHWEST FROM THECOASTAL LOW. WITH LACK OF BLOCKING HIGH PRESSURE, LIMITED COLD AIRWILL BE AVAILABLE AS MODELS TREND WARMER SATURDAY. VALLEYS COULDSEE RAIN DURING THE DAY WITH MAX TEMPS ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRYRANGING FORM UPPER 20S TO UPPER 30S.PWATS WILL BE AROUND HALF AN INCH WITH BEST DEFORMATION AROUNDTHE COASTAL LOW. THE GREATEST IMPACTS STILL LOOK TO BE ACROSS OURCENTRAL/SOUTHERN CWA.AS THE LOW LIFTS NORTHEAST, ANOTHER 500MB LOW WILL APPROACH FROMTHE NORTHWEST KEEPING CLOUDS AND CHANCE POPS OVER THE REGIONTHROUGH THE REST OF THE PERIOD. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLDER THANNORMAL THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Looked like another inch or so overnight. I'm going to call it 3" total. That may be a slightly slantsticked measurement but I need to make the most of this crappy winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Sb reporting 9-3-4" from last night. That worked out ok after all. Their snowfall makes absolutely no sense. I get it, its windy, but c'mon. Do you know how confusing that is to the casual observer to have 4" at the base, 3" at mid-mountain, and 9" at the summit? Its windy here too and I've got around 5" now at 1,550ft and 7.5" at 3,000ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adk Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Interesting storm. Really illustrated to me the value of that -10c 850 line and west winds. That is what makes snow in the Greens.

Everything else is just secondary when it comes to making good snow.Yes. And west flow loads the east side. Radar overnight had the best echoes over the Spine, with downwind drift that radar was a classic east side high elevation dump.-10C at ridge top gets us the ratios and fluff. Looks like you enjoyed your run this morning, adk. It was going off. Tons of face shots. From FamousInternetSkiers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
