Flake size not bad...not sand. 27/24 Large snow growth. When they look this big on cam and they aren't aggregates I know the growth is big.

#NoPoles Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 wind is starting to get feisty...unfortunately, I had no where to mount my weather station that would provide no obstructions from all wind directions...for this event the wind has a southerly component and the anemometer is on the north side of the house...sitting in my room, the wind is strong enough to moan, and the house has taken a few decent gusts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vis definitely 1/4sm or even less at 1500ft. Coming down at a good clip here too. Now, if we can just squeeze out another 20-22 hours at this rate.

eekuasepinniW Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 extreme snow in progress. started a timelapse on my ipad and now I'm annoyed because I want to use radarscope too. I need a fleet of ipads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get the wet aggregates where the flakes are wet and stick together forming large 1-2" flakes or the dry aggregates. The dry ones are typically dendritic because you need the "feathered" flakes typically to get them to cling together like velcro. Plates and needles don't aggregate (verb?) very well. I took a quick check outside and they were definitely individual crystals that were falling and not clumps of dry aggregates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Paul Gordon Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Coming down at a good clip in downtown Worcester. Accumulating in parking lot at my office and on roofs.

backedgeapproaching Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 28F- Been dumping pretty good here past 45 mins.

eyewall Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I hate missing this one being in NC through New Years. BTV has not had a warning level event since Feb 2015 and I have been waiting since then. With an inverted trough they may get there with this one. These days it is hard to say if there will be another shot at some point this winter. Nothing is guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Not doing much of anything right now after a nice burst deposited around 1"-1.5", but there are good echoes W and S of me, so hopefully we'll get going again. Temp up to 32.5°F thanks to a SE wind and downsloping. Although I don't think downslope will play a big role with regards to QPF, it will act to warm my BL temps enough to reduce ratios. 4-6" should be about it here I think...as this thing will end around 00z locally.
