w1pf Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Merry Christmas and great picture! A few years ago I decided that's a "winter tree" and not a "Christmas tree" ... so it's lit at night all winter.. this year some of my neighbors started doing the same..

Ginx snewx Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 My first thought is this. Overnight your sounding probably looked something like ALY. ALB.gif Shallow nocturnal inversion, well mixed above it. That inversion eliminates the frictional element to winds, and just above it is slightly stronger wind max. As diurnal heating, or CAA mixed out the low level inversion, you get an initial burst of winds stronger than the rest because shortly thereafter mechanical mixing makes the winds in the boundary layer more uniform. That CAA shows up right at the same time as that barograph trough you posted. So a cold front went through the area and helped mix out the nocturnal inversion. Thanks Chris, why does the pressure drop associated with a cold front,then rise. Physical process?This was at 430 am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thanks Chris, why does the pressure drop associated with a cold front,then rise. Physical process?This was at 430 am Think about what the MSLP charts look like on a CONUS scale map. The cold front is a pressure trough, so it represents the lowest local pressure as it passes. Pressures are higher on either side of it. The stronger the front, the sharper/deeper that V signature will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God all that snow melted off the trees Sunday. I didn't measure the gusts but above 50 would not surprise me in the least. One of the more bizarre dry wind events I can remember. The timing really confused me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing really confused me too. Mind you I'm just taking an educated stab at it, but I think that's probably the most likely mechanism for what happened. It's a smaller scale version of the nocturnal LLJ on the Plains. You develop that inversion and the winds can really start to rip just off the deck as they lose frictional drag with the ground. Once you bust the inversion, you have a brief window for some larger gusts before things settle in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfishsnowman Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 even here in the valley it was unusually windy yesterday early morning....picked up a little more overnight thinking 3.5 total but i will take a walk around the neighborhood later to confirm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazey Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Around 12" down at my place. I'll have measure to confirm. The airport about 7miles to my north is reporting 17". Nice storm and it's still snowing albeit lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Nws spotter report had 6.3" in Framingham as of 6:30. I'm right on the border with Framingham. I went out to shovel 3 hours after that. Looked like easily 7" The framingham total is almost Always on the high side. Every single storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazey Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 What are your totals for the season so far?Not sure off hand. I'd have to crunch numbers but I'd say we are at or slightly above normal to date. I've been incredibly lucky considering the ho hum pattern.

walthsnow Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 The framingham total is almost Always on the high side. Every single storm. That may be. Though I was under heavier returns from late morning until early evening. Moderate snow until midnight. Had to be close. Boston had 6.4" and radar looked better here than there.

tavwtby Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Total snow that fell: 6.5"... What's left after fluff stlling: just a hair shy of 6", that includes the .25 after I shoveled for the last time..very fluff, high ratio stuff that fell through the afternoon, piled up quick and deep..I busted 4" high on my prediction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 That may be. Though I was under heavier returns from late morning until early evening. Moderate snow until midnight. Had to be close. Boston had 6.4" and radar looked better here than there. I measured close to 6 in Natick so that belt did pretty decent. Hopkinton maybe was slightly too far SW or that poster was a local min.
