Brewbeer Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Biggest hail storm in about 10 years for me, some legit nugs in there. Impressive ! More frozen in the last 20 minutes than the last 20 weeks it seems like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe also up into Chicopee. Has weakened a bit since. Anyway, congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAP forecast soundings have MVL pounding snow right now. Pretty isothermal up to 2500-3000 ft, but cools that layer quickly from 23 to 00z on the forecast soundings. So you drop a bunch of aggregates into the near surface isothermal zone and you cool from melting down to freezing. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the summits had to get wrecked with a fast 6-10". MVL had 0.76" water in the past 6 hours with H85 of around 0C, that'll bring snow to the surface. Last four hours especially: 5pm.. 0.19" 6pm... 0.17" 7pm... 0.12" 8pm... 0.16" That's how you dynamically cool off... keep throwing 0.10-0.20" per hour into the bucket. This was more exciting for the surprise factor than the other day locally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Power outages going up around the region. West slopes particularly. This stuff is sloppy wet, unlike the drier colder snow the other day. Stowe at 1,100ft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
