My coop gonna get crushed?

usually... when we are expecting a good snow dump, I throw a tarp over the coop and run, so they aren't butt deep trying to scratch the ground, also keeps them a little warmer cause I don't use a heat lamp in the winter, just my two cents

When I first read this, I thought you were afraid of your chickens

3k NAM might be 

[ORH_wxman]

12k is pretty flaccid

[ORH_wxman]

Yeah that’s a hell of a CCB on 3k for SNE. Violent ending. 12k was too far north and only had light snow for several hours.

Ok, how likely is it that these violent endings aren’t pipe dreams?  Some are violent, some are anything but.  

[moneypitmike]

Figure 60% of this on ratios/melting.  Better than Friday in any as. Congrats to those getting it good.

Yeah I’m still heading against it but the more guidance that shows it, the more likely it becomes. Even the 12k closed off h5 right as it was passing under us…so there’s a reason to watch it. 
 

It takes a lot of things to like to get those big rates. I’m expecting snow for much of SNE tomorrow but I’m leaning toward just steady light snows for the most part that might have trouble accumulating…esp low elevations and further south. But hell, even a bit of a compromise would help in getting 2-3” for many. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

Big difference between 3k and 12k NAM

 

3k gives Wachusett over a foot, 12k... 5" or so

Split the difference?

 

 

[moneypitmike]

 

BOX is not embracing the higher amounts--.

 

 

 

[dryslot]

Its a snake

[moneypitmike]

Snowing now, FWIW.

Some 1 to 2  per hour in here. Ratios as well

[dryslot]

Mahk should be happy.

[Damage In Tolland]

Snowing lightly here. Enjoying it before another wire to wire rain 

[ORH_wxman]

Steady light snow here right now…pretty good snow growth too after the first few minutes of tiny flakes. 
 
Temp is 33 though so gonna need it to come down harder to really stick

Oh ya.  Wednesday. And a few more times after that. That’ll quell the sting nicely. 

Wolf in winter will do winter wolf things.

Yup-steady light snow now.  At first I thought it was lint from someone’s dryer not now it’s legit light snow with tiny flakes. Outside heading to the packie for some guests coming later.

Weird little blowup of precip 

 

[#NoPoles]

WWA for 3-8 inches of snow. The prior two storms have averaged 3-4 inches. 

[wxeyeNH]

26.3/22  Thankfully it will not be a birch bender for me.

[BostonWX]

Light snow here too. Areas over 250 feet actually kept snow today /trees covered around the blue hills, bare grass below that. Looked somewhat substantial for the hills in the 400- 500 range and blue hill.

[Torch Tiger]

snow on the ground, snow in the air, snow on the way.  Special winter for all

Moderaste with solid growth.

That snow that just blew up is pretty neat

It’s bizarre looking…almost what you’d expect when a midlevel low is going over like the south coast of RI but we don’t have that yet. Almost convective looking…
