NorEastermass128 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 White rain on CA. Relative “snow hole” compared to the rest of the area too all winter. About 10” on 1/4 and 8” for the March blizzard. Cape Ann is due for a CJ with OES enhancement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 3 minutes ago, White Rain said: Yeah good call on the coating-2” north of the pike. We finished with 1.7” here, I thought we might break 2” but the brightening skies just made the snow wet and condense, so we were not able to add on any more. I was surprised we got anything over a coating... I figured the dry air would be an issue Nice call by some on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistake on my part not going heavier in CT...enhances forcing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Yeah nice little event. I figured s coast would do fairly well, but forcing trumped the dry air near the ma/ct border and even into BOS. Was concerned about some of the best dynamics being shoved a little ESE with time instead of the typical SW-NE push these get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically you had good WAA aloft, say 5-8 thousand feet above the surface. This lift translated well into the snow growth zone which was maybe 10-15 thousand feet above ground. This area of forcing sort of pushed NE and then E which led to a few hours of mdt-hvy snow across CT into RI and SE MA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow on roofs here is pretty much gone, pavement was gone a few hours ago. There’s still a few inches or so on grass but that’ll be gone soon too. Areas with sun are already going bare. And there was definitely 5-6” here just like the rest of the NYC metro this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Valley Snowman Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I believe codfish got 3 which is pretty linear with reports of 5 BDL area and 4 here not necessarily a bad valley screw job there just a bit north of the most persistent banding. 52.5 on the season is above normal here despite the lousy retention and valley shaft jobs.

WinterWolf Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 This event reminds of me of the kick-off event back on Dec. 9th. That one was an overachiever too for CT(picked up 7.5" in that one to start off the season), and had very good snowgrowth and was a nice event to start off the season. This one and that one are like the "Bookends" of the winter...Nice way to go out imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
