I hear there's a better one in Tolland... No, it's just a residential building but I could strip for you if the real strip club is too far. Not a bad substitution. Ok, maybe a little bit hairy with a flabby butt. But it would only cost you $5. Although I have been told I look like Mr. Bean, I am definitely younger! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Looks like it's been quite the winter for the coastal mid-Atlantic too... no stats to back it up but these SE Mass snowers seem to love coastal Delaware into SE NJ. Just seems like it wants to be snowing in those low average coastal/beach towns.

Coming down heavy, big flakes That's the classic good snow growth where visibility doesn't translate to the snowfall rate. The stuff where you can get 1" an hour but with 1-1.5 mile visibility. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this radar... A while ago it looked like it was about to pull away but then it filled in again to the west! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Reno, it almost never snows without dramatic reduction in visibility. And this radar... A while ago it looked like it was about to pull away but then it filled in again to the west! It's just the flake type and liquid amount falling from the sky. A small flake, needles or bullets type snow packs in tight and is dense on the ground. To achieve higher snowfall rates, visibility will be quite low, almost like a fog if you are getting 1"+ an hour out of needles. You're also getting 0.10-0.15"/hr water to hit 1"/hr snowfall with needles. That'll give that 1/4sm +SN. With fluffy, large snow growth stuff, it takes less flakes and less water to make an inch of snow. Therefore there are fewer flakes in a given volume of air... still accumulating efficiently but impacting visibility less. The ASOS stations under-report the water in this type of snow, but if 0.025-0.05" an hour can give 1"/hr, visibility will remain higher than what most of us equate to that type of accumulation rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over half a foot and ripping with only one brief observation showing moderate snow (1/2sm vis). Most of it at 1-2 mile visibility. That's how you know the snow growth zone is getting punched by lift.

Very snow globe like out… very dry snow too. Just went outside to swap my wife’s car with mine in the driveway, good amount of snow out there… probably 2-3” on the road and there was much more than that on my car that has been sitting all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Flakes have gotten better through the evening. Almost a snow globe out there right now. Like powderfreak described above, it’s prob 1-1.5 mile vis but stacking up like moderate snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m at almost 28” so far this season. You are 4” ahead of me at the moment. Big question is, do we get some more chances so I can try and catch up on my seasonal average of almost 50”?
