Spanks45 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 Just cleared the snowboard, 4.8" so far....No wind, trees are sagging quite a bit so far. I can see 10" being possible at this point, looks like the really heavy stuff is about to begin 31.4°/30° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that's close enough to illuminate the clouds over RI too. I'm looking due north though at the flash, and the flash coincided with a power outage... If it were caused by the lightning id have heard thunder surely? The electrical infrastructure in the us at large, and Newport in particular, is pretty bad, but even it doesn't fold to lightning 100s of miles away.

I thought it was a power issue, mine was off for a second and the streetlamp blew, so I figured it was a transformer. That’s possible. I saw two consecutive flashes and then a third about a minute or two later. Looked like it was coming from the south and I didn’t noticed power issues. But I haven’t seen anything since so I’m thinking you are right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 1 minute ago, wxsniss said: That makes sense. I assumed it was just upper level difluence but the directional circulation to it makes sense. So hypothetically if the region of interest is in the left entrance, would the jet streak have the opposite (i.e. inhibiting effect) due to sinking the warmer/moist air on the equatorward side? Well think of it this way, you are lifting cooler/moist air in the exit region. Sounds a lot like your cold conveyor right? So it's not a bad thing. KUs are KUs because you couple the indirect circulation of the sub-tropical jet with the direct circulation of the polar jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would figure for this season, sleet comes and ruins the party....I think we are ok up here, you should be fine down that way too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would lean towards power related, but I'm just saying it's not impossible. And the thunder is not a given, because snow and distance will muffle the sound.

I wonder if there will be a 10-13" ribbon somewhere in there according to that model. If so, it would go from a general direction from NW CT through Worcester to just north of Boston to Bedford MA. Just to the south of Boston around Weymouth has a little ocean enhancement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
