Hoth Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 If this band can sit over us for a few hours, WTNH's 0-3" prediction is going to go down in flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRSno Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Gotta love that BOX waited, for one reason or another, to add Suffolk to the Blizz warnings, but eventually did, like they usually do when they skip it. Go figure. Ripping it out there, haven't been out measuring but gotta be 2-3" down so far and coming down nicely! 31F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Kart Mozart Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Insane rates down here. There will be an interesting collision of the bands somewhere over eastern or central CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was back breaking shoveling, I'm glad I got the slush out of there. Yesterday you predicted what would happen to you and you were spot on. I don't even think Jay Leno's caretaker will need to plow his driveway. MVY had a blizzard warning and they're getting screwed too, as are portions of Connecticut away from the extreme eastern sliver of the state. Jimmy's reporting 5 inches. More than I thought he'd have at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkO Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 At least the bands are pivoting, but there is a clear subsidence zone which appears to be 495 southwest through Worcester into C CT. Hopefully it moves west so some of us get in on the goods. Ray may have 50% more than me even though he's only 6 or 7 miles southeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 12 minutes ago, sbos_wx said: Long story short: this is working out exactly how we thought Pretty much... This was always a SE threat (primary) but as the past week's worth of dailies and pages of threads and media et al speculated, there was clad conjecture as to whether some of those concerns would get farther west. It actually appears that both did and did not happen ... The did part is that it snowed in arced bands down to N Jersey... the devil part of that deal is that it did not snow at "threat" proportions. Which is interesting.. The N-S oriented deform band over the Berks appears to be a bit west, as was the activity around NYC/N Jersey. But, by and large, these are not headline sensible impact regions. So yes and no. 3.5" 30F 3/4 M vis S- with some minor blowing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's useful for nowcasting in several scenarios, but I'm not sure banding nor'easters are one of them. That would be my main point, you're obviously not wrong either, lol. Who would I be to say you're wrong? I kinda compare it to summer convection... Can see the CAPE, severe parameters, and simulated reflectivity.. But it's going to jump around run-to-run.

There’s no major band behind that 2nd one so it should stay together and make a better westward push. Yup . Models showed a 1 hour let up as the mega band forms and pivots.

Hoth Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Ok, western band is coming in. Snow growth is improving rapidly. Now we just need it to grind to a halt for hours and hours. K, thanks. In fact, let's get that easterly band to back in and merge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrotary12 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 That metro west band dissolved faster than a thunderstorm crossing 495 in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxBlue Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Just measured 4.2". Not bad but rate will need to improve if we want to meet GYX's 20" call around here. That coastal band is trying to push a little more west and park it over us so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Just now, Chrisrotary12 said: That metro west band dissolved faster than a thunderstorm crossing 495 in the summer. It always had the look on upper tilts that the SE band was more dominant. Made sense looking at OKX radar too. It was the middle band between the two main areas of 7h fronto. Very interesting hour ahead as this eastern fronto band decides whether it pivots over BOS or 495. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semper911 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Power out in N RI for about an hour and a half, but it just came back on. 31.1, winds cranking, +S, and maybe 5-6" down (eyeballing), Vis maybe 300ft. Pines straining under the weight. Just. So. Much. snow in this band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it is interesting....the 2 bands are much closer in SNE and than in CNE/NNE. Def the radar is worrying me here in terms of subidence near KCON. We'll see how it develops.
