SnowHole413 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 4 inches in Amherst. Ripping sleet at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Measured 3.0" at 7 AM, with 0.21" LE, pretty good ratio considering the tiny flakes. Temp holding in upper teens, -SN at the moment. Need 8.5" to top any storm since January 2015, and might have a chance. Edit: Love seeing some more Maine peeps on the board - welcome to all.

It's piling up pretty quickly. Looks like I made that first measurement of 1" about 2 hours ago. So we've been ripping along at 1"/hr since then. 4" here in Lew, Just spoke with John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripping out there, vis. no more than 1/4 mile. 26.0* Just went further out into the driveway and defintely close to 5" here now. Ripping right now as we straddle the RA/SN line.

dendrite Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I had 3.5" at 7am...that was an 8hr sample considering it started around 11pm. The ratios kinda suck...w.e. was 0.41". 8.5:1 sucks. Hopefully the last hurrah produces a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 1.25" before rain kicked in in Brooklyn, CT this a.m. Left for work at about 6:00. Roads were crappy. Got to Manchester and it seemed like less snow had fallen here. Pretty much as advertised for my area...snow to meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 It is ripping out here but I have no idea how much we got/are getting. It's very windy (10-20 mph) and it's just drifting all over the place. Temp 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 3" here and 23* in Vassalboro, ME and hopefully doesn't turn to mush before it's all done today.

If I have to sacrifice liquid then sure, give me the man snow. But with all water equivs being equal I'd like a little more fluff than 8-9:1. I remember you saying the best lift here was below the DGZ. I assume way up north by tamarack that DGZ is just low enough to line up with the better omega. Regardless, 5-6" of dense sugar is fine by me. I wish we had data that separated the liquid equiv out for frozen precip vs liquid/freezing. I probably outperform BUF seasonally with that vs actual snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the ratios in the deeper bands had dendrites. I actually had some good flakes here....and you could see it show up on ZDR dual pol. But the meaty band definitely has lift below the DGZ.
