The 4 Seasons Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 The bulk of the precip is and was slated to be in the 6-10PM timeframe. We are well ahead of what most models had for totals around 5pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 9 minutes ago, Kitzbuhel Craver said: Just has a shredded look to it. Typical SWFE is more of a wall of precip “thump” no? This has been kind of on and off and looks to continue that way. It's a cold overrunning event. We're not even really discussing sleet or ZR with this one as it gets pinched off down in PA. So the radar has a cold snow look to the echoes. But it looks like full coverage of precip over the region with varying intensity. We've been saying from the beginning that this one doesn't have a lot of strong, prolonged forcing with it. But some will see 1"/hr around that 0-3z mark even if ratios are average at best. It's pretty much just been a few tenths in the can in W MA and CT over the past hour. Models ramp it up over the next few hours a bit so we'll see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusting here. maybe you're right but im strictly speaking CT only. Last update forecast map is on track. Most fall in the 4-5 range i believe some 6 or 7" amounts are possible well inland.

ORH_wxman Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Yeah I think everything is on track more or less. Most guidance didn't have more than an inch or two by 00z in western areas and very little at all in eastern areas. Models did cut back a little bit in SW CT today but they were kind of going wild there previously with more than half inch of qpf. Still looks like widespread advisory event for most posters with maybe some marginal warning amounts in the northwest interior areas and maybe a lolli or two further east where someone gets left with a couple transient bands maxing out. This is basically a 4-6 hour thump of light to moderate snow. Only briefly heavy in transient bands...with maybe 2 hours of lighter junk of each side of that period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very surprised HVN reported +SN right from the jump. When it started we quickly became moderate, and there were a lot of moderate reports at the time but never less 1/4" mi vis id say. Quick question, why did BDR only report SN and not +SN at the start. They were at 0.25 mi vis. I thought intensity was determined by reduced visibility from falling snow, regardless of the per hour rate. We talked about this recently when you can get 1"/hr and still be reporting -SN because of the ratios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else may be able to answer this better than me, but if the ASOS is not convinced that all the vis drop is solely from precip intensity but also from BLSN or fog, then it will report less then heavy. I'm not sure how it detects how much of the vis drop is from precip intensity though. I know it can sense falling precip obviously but it somehow distinguishes it from blowing snow too. In the case of BDR today, not sure why it didn't report heavy snow because winds were light and there's no actual fog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get too wrapped up with all that, but unless it’s augmented by an observer it may think that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 Seasons Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 This is your typical 3-6"er for CT. No one will remember this in 5 years. But in this winter, or any winter, it's a welcomed event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomNH Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 This winter has been awesome, at least up here. A near two footer off the rip, a couple more small events before and after Christmas, and then a warm weekend in January to break up the cold and dry and spend time outside. Still just a coating with some weenie flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
