pasnownut Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Snowing nicely. Deform band finally finally showed up. Gotta go out and work on snowmobile. Took for a test drive and crossed a covered bridge and saw a plow truck turning around (35-40 yds or so) in sight of rear view mirror waiting for him to finish turning around. He decided to backed right up to the bridge right into me. Not sure if I'm lucky or unlucky. Scared the frick outta me. I bailed before he hit. Said he never looked in his mirror. Ugh. Enjoy the snow. Time to wrench. Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Ok...the band has finally kicked in with steady light snow. Nothing major, but maybe enough to accumulate a tiny bit. I just cleared my board (6 hours) and melted down the precip. The accumulation during the 6 hours from 7:30am to 1:30pm was 2.7". The liquid equivalent of that snowfall was 0.25" producing a period ratio of 11:1. For the entire event the liquid is now standing at 1.23" for 15.2" of snowfall giving a storm ratio of 12.4 : 1, so a solid 12:1 ratio for the storm overall. I can't remember what the models were projecting for total liquid, but I think it was around 1.50 to 1.75 inches, so a little underdone on total liquid here it would seem. Temp has dropped in the snow now back down below freezing to 31.4 degrees. Let's see if we can get any additional accumulations going this afternoon / evening.

We're both in that band, but you're dead smack in the middle of it where it appears to be the most intense. You should be accumulating at 1"/hr rates I would say at least. Here, the flakes have picked up in size over the last 10 minutes and I think I'm beginning to accumulate a tiny bit with a dusting now on my board. You're going to hold on to this band for a while it looks like, but I'm probably going to go out of it within the next 30 minutes or so. Enjoy!

Jns2183 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Well with Carlisle's 12:1 ratio and my 11:1 ration (both slightly higher as mathematically I was at 11.4:1 and Carlisle was at 12.4:1), but we will go with 11.5:1 at 1.82" would put them at 20.9"...I'd bet the under for KMDT! I'd even bet the under at 18.2" at strictly a 10:1 ratio. My buddy likes to tell me it is most definitely a "TMI Effect"! I'm fully expecting a 15" amount to come out there. I'll be shocked if they come in with even a 17" amount. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowalot Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 It looks like the band is slowly shifting east. I would like to add a few more inches. Grats to all who got their snow and perhaps more then expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 And yet another additional 0.1" of new snow as the western edge of the band is nearing my doorstep and bringing an end...for now?... to the accumulations. Storm 15.5" with blowing snow. Definitely evidence of some back-building on the western fringe, but overall movement is progressing east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
