Coastal cyclogenesis and minor to moderate impact Feb 8/ 8.5, primarily SE areas ...for now.

[ORH_wxman]

Getting good snow growth now as echoes move in. Everything covered. 

[EastonSN+]

Solid coating with much larger flakes now.

[ineedsnow]

HRRR likes kevs area for ice

[CoastalWx]

Snow and sleet here. Good flakes though. 

[EastonSN+]

Snowing at a decent clip.

Amazing snow and ice retention this year.

[Ginx snewx]

Quick 1/4 snow to freezing rain 24⁰

[Spaizzo]

Snowing moderately with fat flakes everything is coated sitting at 26 here in Ansonia

Knock knock.. who is it..?

Phil Who ?

 

[Cold Miser]

Close to .5 here in Manchester, and tapering off.

[Sugarloaf1989]

1/4" here with light snow and 23F.

[weathafella]

Just started snowing a few minutes ago.  Let’s see where we are when I head to ORH in about 2 hours 

[LSC97wxnut]

Quick burst coated everything as I drove to work in Needham. Big flakes too.

[CoastalWx]

Warm air racing north. Probably more ZR eventually.

[weathafella]

Yup-really ramped up quickly.  Glad I had to get up early!

[Hoth]

Snow has that heavy, clumpy look to it like it's being assailed by warmth aloft. We flip soon.

What are the temperatures in your area?

19/17 here.  Just some flakes flying so far.

27

[weathafella]

Stopped.  Temporarily freshened up the glacier 

[jbenedet]

The surface hp is pressing even more on 12z Nam. Can't see how the location and timing of this press won't have big implications into the favored cold tuck locations. 

[Spaizzo]

Went from fat flake burst to light snow and small flakes. Radar shows sleet near but nothing yet and still 27… 

[PhineasC]

NAM looks like shit for the areas progged to get snow.

[jbenedet]

[ORH_wxman]

Good fatties falling again here. Best echoes are stubbornly staying south though.

 

 

[Typhoon Tip]

I think the break point here is gong to be the amplitude of the 850 mb low ...

We're obviously cold enough ( for snow interests ..) here, initially. But what's happened in the guidance up to this point has been a paltry structure at best, at that level.  A stronger one would cut off the SSW flow aloft ...stopping the 850 mb from warming so much.  I'm not sure if this system's warm extends much higher in the atmosphere ( but I haven't admittedly checked - just going by the feel of it... lol). 

Anyway, I like the short term tendency to torque the thermal field there, ENE of Cape Hat ( 'jbenedet' ) ... Maybe there is more structure trying to take shape.  Who knows... 

[CoastalWx]

Some -ZR now and 29, but not really an issue on cars or roads.

[CoastalWx]

What a back alley setup this is. All this stuff is a sign of the airmass above us really warming. And right when the low cranks, there is no cold to wrap in.

almost wonder if there's a weak convergence down there...

the sfc pressure has that SE suggestion with the winds, but would slow in the interior where there is deeper situated cold. getting a little bit of a 'pile up' there.

also, wouldn't the growth region of this snow be relatively low right now. I don't believe this current activity is part of that low passage later on..

yeah, it sucks

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Had a bout 10 minutes of flurries.  I'm sure now we flood with warm air ahead of the main precipitation field. lol

It's all aloft. Looks at 925mb.
