moneypitmike Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Visibility is less than 1/2 mile, decent flakes. About 1.5" on grassy surfaces from snow that began at 4:30a.m.. Pavement struggling under the strong solar radiation in spite of 29.9* temp. If this rate keeps up, that'll overcome that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they are gone as precip lightens up. A few mangled flakes in there. These first several hours are garbage. We'll see if the RAP/RGEM are correct for later this afternoon...both give a pretty nice period of heavy snow even right into Boston and your area between about 3-6pm. That could maybe help with the WAA portion of the storm which I've hated a for while now, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HRRR seems to have the best lift under the DGZ until overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 We may end up not wasting any QPF out of this. The trees are caking up already. Snow growth is picking up. Most models have about 1.5" of liquid up here. This could be a big one. I'm not expecting big ratios regardless with the DGZ so high up, but I would like to avoid sobbing paste.

Trees and grass are where it's at here. I do have about an inch on the deck, but the pavement is just melting. Going back and forth between SN and SN-. Flakes bouncing between good and crappy. All in all, this will likely go down as a 'meh' event out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all, this will likely go down as a 'meh' event out here.At 600' I've only got a coating so far on trees and grass. Precip was very light for a while, and while it stayed frozen, it was barely so. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Not that anyone asked but fall rates appear to be our biggest limitation for accumulations so far along Rt 2 here in N-central Mass... If it does get steady, we go over slushy aggregates just fine...but now we are back to drizzle in one of these null -shreds. I suppose two months ago ... this would be the end of January and 5 to 7 F less on the dial might make rad more "fuzzy" and we'd at least be flurries or steady light in between bursts. Be that as it may...36 here in Ayer with drizzle and occasional light snow. Looking up stream, there's a band moving in but there is much more impressive solid, non-shredded continuous shield of action in the upper MA that's got no problem seeing us for later on - probably we'll tint the air up blue when that envelopes the region. Then we'll test these warm layer ideas .. may just be a changing/variable p-type event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbenedet Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Looks like the real stuff is over LI and pushing northeast into CT. That probably represents the leading edge of accumulating snow for the area, when it makes it up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
