dendrite Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 There’s no way the Quabbin produced that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Yeah quabbin isn’t big enough. You can get some low level very light snow from quabbin if conditions are perfect but it’s really rare. You only see it out in western ORH county and it’s basically flurries or stray flakes. I don’t know where the streamers came from. I guess lake Champlain could’ve done it on NW or NNW wind and it somehow get reinvigorated because of the upper level support. It was weird but they definitely acted like LES streamers and the snow was similar to what I’d see out in Ithaca off lake Cayuga. They did make for a good wintry scene last night.

PowderBeard Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Quabbin effect, love it. We got over 3-4", more than Berkshire East got that is for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about Quabbin on second thought. Actually had 3 layers of precipitation at one point. Departing LP, ULL and then those streamers. At one point for a little while there was a mesolow over CT. Speaking of that I saw 934 out on a Candian buoy. We wondered what 3k was doing but there was in fact all these little mesolows. One of the coolest storms in a while with basically little precip. Good stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... The Woodford effect was clearly in full force for this storm. Only 4 inches at Mount snow and 6” at Stratton. The snowmobile place In Woodford claims over a foot and the Weathernet Woodford report was 12”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWS Gray has made FB posts in the past about Sebago enhancing snow which is about 30k acres, the Quabbin is larger than Sebago. That said the shape of Sebago seems to be more favorable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 There were streamers up and down the coast too. They had them in the MA. It probably helped to have a little daytime instability too. It’s got very cold above us quickly and the surface didn’t respond right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the guidance close in was light on the QPF, so the 10:1 snow maps weren’t impressive. Was it high ratio snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had about 6" of wet snow from the synoptic piece and then a foot of powder on the backside. Anyone who doesn't get NW flow upslope didn't do all that well on this one. Great storm here. Best of the winter. Hopefully no cutters for a while so I can watch it melt out naturally over the next couple weeks instead of all at once overnight in a torrential downpour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The structure is not as important with weak events.....there is more variation, but I would still rather west. 1976-1977 was actually very east based.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I had 1.6” in Holliston last night when it started slowing down. I may have had another couple tenths but I didn’t stay up…wind was crazy though when falling asleep. Classic spring day even though it’s cold out struggling to hit freezing. In the sun it’s torched away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't been much of the Woodford Cloud this winter, but this event delivered. There also was that steamer that I dont think was totally upslope driven that drove up totals too I think, maybe just enhanced totals even a bit more than just normal upslope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savoy had 8" and Cheshire 6.5". I think the NW wind definitely played some part in the lower totals in your area up through Brattleboro and much of SEVT with all the higher terrain to the west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 Seasons Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Thanks for the reports. Here are the final town-by-town totals from here, CoCoRahs, PNS reports and NWS 72 hour snowfall map. The coating to 2" verified well for much of the state with little to no measurable in southern and SE CT. The biggest problem was NW CT where the 5-7 range was ended up being about 40 miles to the NW. Interior W CT and N CT were definitely in the lower end of the range with 2-3+ instead of 2-5.
