You'll go from ripping to all of a sudden looking at the streetlight and seeing the snow dancing around instead of falling and then back to ripping. There was a storm several years ago where we were forecast 1-2' and had a banded radar all night and I ended up with a measly 9'' of baking powder. Once you start going banded, its a kiss of death for major additions....its a pretty linear progression in the storm's evolution. Maybe we get a another nice burst, but the high end isn't happening.

rimetree Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Really getting it good now. Looks like a solid band rotating in from the ocean. 31F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxBlue Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Measured 6.5" in Dover. Still rate of 1.5"/hr. 1 minute ago, DomNH said: Yeah if we can't get a uniform +SN shield it's going to be tough to see the big totals.

It's still snowing decently, although it does feel more powder-ish. We have big returns to our SE about to move in so I think we'll pass 10" at worst.

That now is when the flow is getting stretched into the banding stage, we're definitely moving past the WAA driven (unless you live up by BGR). The mid level magic may not be enough to save CON though. Just caught between the coastal front and intense band to the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosted flakes Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Just can't get going here. Being generous with the ruler I have 3.75" the returns just seem to crap themself as they get close to CON. At this rate might not even need the snowblower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Just light shattered flakes here, forecast fail but good dense snow, hopefullygood total W of me.

Geez that's low in Springfield . About 7.5 down here in Enfield just over the border. Rates have turned pedestrian. Time to hit the sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, probably not. To go big you really need to produce in the WAA and the deformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 29F Light snow. 4.25" Not doing too good. Don't think I'll hit the 10" I had hoped for. Brian, what do you have in Northfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast maul job Wish that I could have brought it back with me... but this'll help to ween off the snow fix. Guessing the Beast should be 12-18" anyway the way that band has rotted over them. Good day to show up early. 5 minutes ago, HIPPYVALLEY said: That makes sense too based on watching radar all night. I'm at 5" and you have been getting the bands before the hills in Shutesbury and Pelham rip them up heading NW. I'll be disappointed in my totals but fun storm to watch and understand snow growth. Hernia baking powder here. Euro kind of nailed the precip shadow and it was a weird one that actually affected pretty high elevations east of here. I agree there was/is some component of orographic shadow but I wonder if you've also been huffing subsidence with that ridiculous deformation out there. My location is far east Btown, SE of the Pelham hills, barely SW of Quabbin at ~550´ so we don't get the full downslope that some places lower down do. Early on today there was what I assume was a midlevel induced dryslot that was pretty ugly here for hours and hours, but once that went away we've done ok I guess. Hopefully you get into that band here soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WthrJunkyME Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Snow started over 2 hours ago. I hear the plow on the street out front but not sure why. Can’t be much over an inch on the ground thus far. Terrible snow growth, hope it improves a good bit overnight. We’re at 30*F right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascinating conservation and observation about the banding structure of this storm. Rarely our southern snow events are dynamical enough for that.
