If next winter is anything like last one and we don't get a decent late fall, then maybe longer for some of us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's 44F. About the warmest i've ever seen snow. I think i've seen it closer to 50F before but i cant confirm the exact temp. Same here a little while ago. Had some impressive squall like snows this morning too. For mid May, damn impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if its going to be cold, glad its snow vs rain for sure. Interesting weather day. Ha, was just thinking that. Sheet drizzle is the worst so I’ll take some snow and sun.

wxmanmitch Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 6 hours ago, CoastalWx said: How high up does the slight inversion or wind shift need to occur for blocked flow? I didn’t see anything much below 700mb that screamed block flow. Typically 850 to 900 mb, but I've seen blocked or slightly blocked flow occur if there's more of a northerly component to the wind in the low levels or weaker westerly flow without much evidence of an inversion. The stronger the cross barrier component of the wind and, of course, the lower the stability, the higher the Froude number will be. Looking back on it in more detail, there was likely some synoptic forcing mechanism that was enhanced by upslope behind those totals as opposed to just pure upslope. Many of these backside events are wrap around comma heads with NW flow, but the maxes with this one seemed a bit further west than usual. Shaftsbury, VT (10.5") and Cambridge, NY (12") are not typically spots that jackpot in these setups. Usually it's a bit to the east near the crest of the spine. How much of this was the result of synoptics vs. upslope is difficult to pin down and would make for a good case study subject. I measured 7.5-8" in Woodford at 10 AM, so the 8.5" report from 7:30 AM is legit. Even the east side of Bennington at 900' had 6-7". I finished with 5.0", but the Deerfield Valley towns just to my east had less than an inch. Very sharp gradients that were not as dependent on elevation as I would've anticipated.

LSC97wxnut Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 This was looking NE from Newtonville at roughly 4:00pm. I looked at my radar app and it appeared there was a little squall of some sort off of Lynn at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
