Maybe they figure they are just going to laugh at everyone else by getting 18" of dense snow in this one. lol But yeah, you'd think given the forecast of only a brief warmup here and there over the next 10 days, it would be a good time to try and get ahead. But who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWolf Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 This is doing better than I thought already. Moderate Snow for the last half hour. Very Nice to see. Decent snow growth too. Cold is holding on/more intrenched like many have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 this would be a fun little critter that bites type of deal a month from now... not hard to envision this where the columns like 4 F colder at all sigmas.. .then we got that much more BL forcing to the coast, and yadda yadda yadda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 29 minutes ago, Typhoon Tip said: not speaking for NWS directly ... but, issuance by necessity is definitely at least part of their mo. most of the snow according to perfectly valid analytic tools is along the aretes of the mountains where there's circumstantial desolation, abandoned trails, dear and black bears, ..sans any roads or ...well, people. if we want to get into questioning weather they will be right in that assessment, that's another discussion. Tip its probably another discussion for another time but it would be interesting to ponder if some kind of new advisory should be added to the repretoire Elevation dependant /watch/warning snows. My brother lives in Aspen. I watch the weather out there. Typically they issue Weather Advisories/Warnings by elevation..i.e. Winter Storm Warnings for elevations over 8000 feet. In a situation like this where its possible elevations over 1500 or 2000 feet could get advisory snows it might be prudent to discuss sometime. In any event the sun has come out fairly brightly up here and I'm up to 39/31F so any accumulating front end snow chances seem to be diminishing.

The synoptics are pretty classic for it...everything would probably be pushed a little further south as the best baroclinic zone would be there, and redevelop this sucker off E LI or something.

Typhoon Tip Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 indirectly related... i have no expectations for this thing. i suspect the bust vector is cool - as discussed above... how much? heh. not sure honestly. but, on October 27 of any given year, i get any aggregates successfully to the surface where I am is giggedy. and the experience is relative too; like, if it's been a warm pig autumn up to that point and we get 'white rain' ( the drops seem 'fat' and glowing) where the air 'smells like snow' and fireplace wood smoke is occasional - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowgeek Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Snow is picking up here. Have a slushy coating. 32.6F / 27F, so wetbulbing should help. Looking for about an inch here in the valley and about 3" on the mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
