OceanStWx Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 5 minutes ago, radarman said: nice catch. As someone working with X band that kind of thing happens all the time and it certainly had a familiar look to it. But one thing I noticed was that the returned power from the cell out on the ocean didn't appear to be changing very much... Could the wind be squeegee-ing away water on the east side, creating some kind of differential radome attenuation? That'd be interesting. The wedge of high ZDR is definitely all on the N/NNW side of the display. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just crappy snow rates, the radar dropping out some Z isn't a sign of anything in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 16 minutes ago, OceanStWx said: Yes, essentially the radar is putting out full power but some is immediately taken away by the rain/snow on the dome. So when the returns from Metrowest make it back to the radar, it seems as if there was way less power returned than was sent out and the radar thinks there isn't any moderate to heavy precip there. How quickly that Z dropped out was a red flag for me. Doesn't usually happen in minutes. YEah that looked really weird and the snow intensity didn’t respond by ramping down. So I was suspicious as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderblizzard Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Ended up with 1.3" in Southington before the flip to rain. Promising start but not much else after... made out better than places further north like Simsbury which is kind of surprising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XC700 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Anyone able to chime in on what we might be looking at for any additional accum. In the Saugus/Lynnfield Ma area? I'm new. Greenhorn. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing that made it very obvious was that the various color contours in the imagery all collapsed inward simultaneously the same (similar) distances, indicative of a fixed power loss offset in the entire sector.

I'm not sure I can think of a time I've seen it that dramatic during a winter storm. Most of the examples I can think of come from our radar training.

PhineasC Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Rippage 31. Measured 5 in a few colder spots. More like 3-4 on the hard surfaces and driveway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Very heavy snow right now but I’m guessing it’s going to be short lived. Not trying to be a dink but is this going to be kind of a bust outside of a small stripe from like north of Kevin to hubb Dave? Doesn’t look like most of CT did very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STILL N OF PIKE Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Sorry for mini melt ... Just went for a walk outside. Looks to be regenerating Seems we are having some issues accumulating last hour or so in Nashua. Maybe just due to less lift for a time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkO Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Absolute disaster of a storm up here. Rained most of the day, then about an hour of non-accumulating snow to sleet/rain mix, back to snow, but only about 0.1" of slush. 33.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
