Boston Bulldog Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 The trailing "weaker" squall in Albany was substantially windier than the main line. I wonder if the lack of consolidation in this area made it difficult for winds to mix down as efficiently as they were able to in PA for example. Nice little event though, spent many years watching these dry up on approach to BOS, glad I finally had sufficient longitude to cash in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is part of the reason this has a lower ceiling than a 2010-esque event. I remember that one had saturation up to like 500mb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrotary12 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Looks like SNE gets the main squall line. Too bad. Just like summer time convection. West of Worcester and south of the MA border. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Seems the trajectory of the heavier squall line is sort of behaving like summer convection in turning SE a bit... N of Rt 2 may be shafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I'll enjoy the steady light-to-moderate snow we've had the last 1/2 hour. It's whitened things up in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N of Rt 2 may be shafted. Kind of in no mans between radars now, but I think you'll be fine. Box is picking up some periphery stuff up into SW NH.

Tough to get a good read yet though We're starting to lose its utility because of daylight, but I find the day cloud phase RGB curve to be helpful for stuff like this. Where you have the greener, liquid cloud tops, especially when they start to glaciate (turn reddish) at the top you've got a pretty good convective snow shower going. That looks to be the case all the way up into Cheshire County before it starts to get broken and/or weaker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
