dendrite Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 1 minute ago, 40/70 Benchmark said: I'm at 30.5/29 2.5" of snow, so I was a hair too high on snowfall. As far as the low level debate.....there is certainly CAD. Claiming that it is non existent is clearly wrong. However this is a marginal icing event this close to the event...very thin coating on branches, but that is about it. Many surfaces are wet, so what pope was saying about the lack of a strong drain certainly does seem to have some merit. The moral of the story is that two sides assumed their positions and the truth fell somewhere in the middle, as is often the case. Who claimed a strong northerly drain? That’s all subjective anyway. I thought the original debate was 3hrs of moderate rain at DAW and ORH...ie a well inland track with the sfc low. It had nothing to do with snow totals, midlevel temps, amount of accretion, etc. I wasn’t even involved in this, but got sucked in because the goal posts kept shifting. Somehow today it became a pope vs Tolland battle and I don’t think anyone outside of Kevin expected him to be sub 32F for the entirety. Anyway, it’s all a little overboard and we aren’t even at verification yet. I’m just trying to enjoy my nice snow event without getting sucked into the spin vortex.

I just mentioned the snowfall because I gave my ob and someone asked earlier. I personally thought that there would be a bit more of an accretion in my area.

Looks like this map will do well except maybe too high in the NW hills. About 1" in Southington. Temp went up to 28F and then just went back down to 27.

Bostonseminole Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 actually to be honest the debate among METS and some hobbyist was good, really helps me learn, so I enjoy them. Anyway still at 33.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care where you are in Tolland, and elevation doesn’t help either, in this case. It’s warmer aloft than it is at surface. You’re 0.05” accretion is over. Woopy. Now close the blinds.

I was just being honest in admitting that I expected a little more accretion....not speaking for anyone else....but the majority of the drain was supposed to be late in the PM, so we'll see.
