tavwtby Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 rocking the radar back and forth and it almost seems like the NW flow undercut the lift, almost appeared like a meso low was over my area as you can see the circulation... actually lightly snowing again, fluff, and wind blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for a last gift At least it feels and looks like winter. It is better than at least 75 percent of the days this winter. Like you I am enjoying the snow wind and cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 We’re in the meat of that band now. We’re on the eastern side according to radar but ground truth is a little east. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowgeek Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Underperformer here. Winds shifted to WNW too quickly so we downslope off the Helderbergs. 4.5” for a warning. Oh well. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah once that streamer came overhead all hell broke loose. Still going right now. This is prob like 2” per hour stuff. Perfect LES type dendrites. Wind is packing it though so we won’t be getting 25 to 1 ratios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tavwtby Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 despite radar, it's been light snow here since sundown, nothing like out east but added at least another .2" to what fell today, feels like deep winter out to boot, nice send off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 The wind is insane in this streamer too. It was already windy but it’s like it got enhanced. Almost like a WINDEX squall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaStorm05 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Kind of a blitz out there now, I’m guessing it’s almost over. Most open ground has just a dusting but there are actually a bunch of drifts a few inches deep here and there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbutts Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Seems I'm wedged between heavier snow north and south. Looks like about 1-2" accumulation. Wind is howling at times. 22f. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 11.3" storm total with still some upslope -SN ongoing. I had about 4" from the synoptic part of the storm, but the backside with it's upslope and streamers has definitely overachieved. Pure fluff except the synoptic stuff underneath which is denser, but still dry. That said, I've officially passed the 100" for the season with 102.2" as of now. It's been a frustrating winter locally, but it has at least earned a passing grade... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Hard to measure with the wind. 2.5” storm total seems about right. Seems like a January night. 18F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 This is honestly some of the “worst” winter conditions I’ve seen all year. These gusts are easily passing 40 every few minutes and the blizzard outside. Even when it’s light snow the wind is making an awesome ground blizzard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Man, this winter has been an unyielding type of stingy here. Although I was in one of the more favored areas of SNE, a lot of posters south and east of here ended up with more snow. I’m guessing I was just getting shadowed in every direction? We had very little precipitation this morning then maybe an hour of mix rain and snow followed by an hour of SN/SN+ and then it just kind of shut off to flurries. we had another half hour burst of light to moderate around 3 PM but missed all of the streamers and heavier showers tonight. Anyway we have the woodstove cranking and the driveway is a sheet of ice with some windswept powder on top. About 1” total for the day here. My coworker up in Colrain said 3” and another friend said about the same out at the base of Berkshire East. The better totals were definitely NW towards Savoy and Mitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 We have a mini streamer and like Will said, excellent flakes. And yes it’s nasty out. Nothing like the blizzard, but probably second worst of season haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
