(far, far north or at serious elevation, read 8,000+) It looks like one heaving band in central Berks to finish us off before it all moves out. Still light/moderate here too. I don't know temp as my thermometer is useless during noon hours lol. (shows 35 but I know it's just a little sun hitting it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 17 minutes ago, yak said: Kudos to the I95 crowd. That certainly seems to be the trend over the past few years. Is that the result of more Miller B storms or something more significant climatological? The heaviest band seemed to have parked over the I95 corridor (+/- 25 miles on either side) once it moved in and has been like that for a couple hours - even with the western fringes pulling in towards the east. I usually see the bands park west of here and we end up with subsidence holes with occasional bands moving through. So if anything for a March storm, this is pretty amazing given it is happening during the day as well. I still have stuff sloughing off my car as it piles up, so it is definitely moisture laden - definitely < 10:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 If anyone ever told me there was a rapidly deepening cyclone coastal hugger by Atlantic city and i would have the flurries currently falling i wouldn't have believed it. That intense area of convection is pulling in the moisture from the west like the wall of a hurricane and drying us out, i have seen this over and over in recent years.

Is that the result of more Miller B storms or something more significant climatological? Well with Miller B storms, the transfer typically wants to end up riding along the Gulf Stream due to the baroclinic zone favorability. This is typically too far east for most here. Also, most Miller B's transfer too late and too far north (January 2015) so they typically only impact NYC on north. This storm was a bit closer to the coast, but the circulation was much tighter and the 250mb Jet didn't expand to the west as much as you may see in other storms so the precip shield was much more compact. Have we seen more Miller B's in recent memory? Perhaps, but it's nothing unusual. If anything the warmer waters off the coast have simply provided more fuel for the Miller B's to intensify.

Snow has been heavy, probably around 2" per hour since noon. Just awesome! Yesterday at noon vs today at 1 pm (bamboo taking a beating!): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 10 minutes ago, shemATC said: Just finished a first round of shoveling. Only about 2.5" on the walk and drive, but that stuff is HEAVY. What's the lowest ratio of snow can be, because I think we're close. Also definitely over 1"/hr rates based on how much was getting recovered as I went along. The late Feb 2010 storm dropped fat globs of mashed potato consistency in the Maine foothills, only 4:1 as it fell, no RA nor IP. The stuff would not stay even on large horizontal branches, but would splatter off onto the ground. Total 10.7" with 2.68" LE (topped by 1.14" of 34-35° rain while 350 miles to my SW, Central Park was getting bombed with 21" snow and mid 20s. The grandkids in south-central Gloucester County love snow - hope they're getting more than just slop from this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
