klw Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 We had 1.4 inches of stuff when I left the house this morning. It was sleet at the time. The drive to St. Johnsbury was "fun." Not much freezing rain evident until the high ground above Newbury and nothing extreme. It has been snowing lightly in St. Johnsbury until just now.

justaroofer Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 in Conway nh started as sleet and turned to snow around 9am. very fine snow but very dry feeling. I would have thought the opposite would be happening and turning more wet/icy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backedgeapproaching Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 PF posted this HRRR output yesterday..looks like it maybe have been too aggressive with the downsloping in CPV near Middlebury and where is Apache Trout is. Seems like they got .60-.85" LE in those areas when HRRR was printing out like .10-.20" Although it did nail RUT area... three cocorahs reports of .12"/ .18"/ .21" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 2 hours ago, qg_omega said: Whiteface reported 3 inches in 30 minutes this morning.... Watched a band of 40-45 dbz echoes pass over my home 8-9 this morning (I was 30 miles away at work), and that would've meant 3"+ if it had been nice 15/20-to-1 dendrites. Far more likely was the rime-encrusted 7:1 stuff that preceded it. Looks like -IP at present in Augusta, based on vertical velocity. The airport was reporting snow last hour, but they're 220' higher than here and a bit NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 2" at home and at the mountain 3000ft. Lots more freezing rain than expected. Looks like 1/4" ZR at home but at the mountain it was pushing 1/3-1/2" from what I could see. Lots of evergreen branches down around my place in town, actually surprised we didn't lose power.

tamarack Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 12z GFS shows another 0.8" qpf of mixed mess for central Maine/foothills between now and 06z tomorrow. Where did that come from? 06z and prior runs had a tenth or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Even the NWS at BTV is upset: As of 324 PM EST Tuesday...What a waste. It`s late January, we`ve got a strong Nor`Easter off the southern New England coast and all we get out of it is ice, ice and more ice! Story of winter 2016-2017 I guess, and it continues into tonights forecast as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Event totals: 1.9” Snow/0.85” L.E. There was more dense snow today, and there was certainly some mixed precipitation in it as well, but there must have been a lot less sleet because the density of this stack was half of what it was this morning. What a shot to the snowpack this has been though – looking back in my data it’s already the largest of the month. There was just a bit of mist at observations time, but some sleet has moved back in now. Details from the 6:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 1.1 inches New Liquid: 0.34 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 3.2 Snow Density: 30.9% H2O Temperature: 32.9 F Sky: Mist Snow at the stake: 4.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Around 0.7" of total fluff at home last night. 1-2" on the hill. Temps really fell off... 14F summit and 22F at 1,500ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Event totals: 2.6” Snow/0.95” L.E. As with the previous collection, this one saw the snow density cut in half again. It was still up there at 14+% due to some of the dense material on the bottom of the stack, but much of last night’s snow was definitely down into a more typical density range. Details from the 6:00 A.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 0.7 inches New Liquid: 0.10 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 7.0 Snow Density: 14.3% H2O Temperature: 27.7 F Sky: Light Snow/Flurries (1 mm flakes) Snow at the stake: 5.0 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually putting together a comment on the general flow I saw in the models before I even stopped to check the thread this morning, so it wasn’t entirely surprised when I saw your post. With that big cyclonic flow and various Clippers/impulses in the pipe, perhaps things can get back to reality to finish off the month. It varies by model somewhat of course, but there’s basically potential for snow every day for the next week. I clicked on my point forecast and saw the graphics looking more like what we’re used to around here (or actually better than some Januarys that have that bitter arctic air and minimal snow potential): Let’s hope for some of that usual sustenance from the bread and butter.
