WeatherNurse Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 It seems greedy to complain about 6" in mid-november, but I was really hoping for a fat foot out of this one! Still, yesterday's sloppy mess laid down the perfect foundation to get the natural trails open. Dropping ropes in mid november! Holy snowflakes!

Nice to see the more bullish guidance hold... for now... when does the GFS join? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bostonseminole Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 looks like i'm good for 1-3" but based on the NAM is close to more.. 850 warms around 6z-9z if we can tick a bit colder could be more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 It's 850-700. Quite a large, warm layer with little room for error. It's just something to monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 NAM looks colder in the FRH grids... Haven't seen the pretty pictures yet. But linear diffferential between ALB and BOS on that grid argues for 4-6 with a quarter inch of sleet on top for places like western Middlesex out through N CT... with all snow at ALB. Wondering if there's a 700 mb elevatedd warm layer,, but... with the 500 mb mechanics tending S of the south coast I'm inclined to think that gets pinched off (if exists..) about 1/3 the way through this thing. Course...that's the NAM. I personally like this model in these nascent polar air/thicnkness compression scenarios though. I think it's finer grid picks up on those feed-backs... The EURO edged colder at 00z notwithstanding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's like -0.4C at 03z at ORH at 750mb and at 00z before that, it's literally 0C in the warmest layer in southern CT. This could definitely go either way. If there is one thing the NAM is sometimes pretty good at, it's sniffing out the warm layers in SWFEs. It doesn't always do the best, but it has a pretty good batting average.

weathafella Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Driving to work 2 hours ago and watching the cold come in with that wintry gray scud. Dead leaves blowing around the air, snow on the way. Embrace it folks-it’s coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be worried with some pellets mixing in, if the big lift does not happen. At least aloft we have lift in the DGZ...but gosh that is close. I should be pretty resistant to the mid level warmth this far north.....we'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see how it gets resistance in Eastern areas too...KBED is still completely below freezing in the sounding by the time we reach 06z while ORH is pinging. Even BOS still has the max elevated warm layer at 0C by 06z. Meanwhile it's like 2C out toward BAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tend to get our most damaging ice storms early in the winter season. Cold enough to cause glazing, but not cold enough to accumulate snow. Yeah OK....explain the "thermodynamics" of that one. My ground was completely frozen already this morning with a temp of 21F. It doesn't take much to freeze the top 1" of ground. Even at 6" deep my soil temp is 39F. Warm ground can be a problem in October, with already wet ground, marginal temps, or weak rates toward the spring equinox with enough solar radiation sneaking through the relatively thinner overcast. Enjoy the accums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
