cpickett79 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 how is everyone doing. I've been stuck on friends i pad without ability to type letters just emotions....anyway staying in bridgewater right by raynham line. 7 new inches here on the car as of ten minutes ago. taking a shot everyone inch so not sure how long ill be capable. lol must be 31 or so here as snow is wet but got a bit lighter after the initial 4 inches earlier. dry slot has me concerned. the convective nature of the precip filling in behind dry slot leads me to believe there is a warm mid leverl layer somewhere. i hope to jesus himself that we fill back in down here with some heavy snow later. if i am staring at 2 mile visibilities for hs next 5 hours i may go beserk. any mets have any ideas wether heavy snow may fill in for n. bristol county later tonite. please so again 7 inches new at least in bridgewater, ma as of 625pm edit just looked back on friends comp who has a nice radar scoope app. and band doesn t want to leave area.....easton ma is getting absolutely smoked cause they have good ratio s with temps around 25.

leesun Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 It's the same mechanism that causes hail in a summer thunderstorm. Caused by the updrafts and downdrafts Interesting idea but ... I have seen this before. Snowing moderate to heavy while simultaneous 10% of the particulates are partially melted but refrozen balls. There has been thunder reported in the area; in fact, this type of particulate behavior is not uncommon during thundersnow. Every one I have experienced did this.

mostman Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Temp at the surface wouldn't matter I got some in my hand. They look like hail almost. Balls of snow and ice. Really cool looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctsnowstorm628 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Had some pingers here for about 45 min...back to all snow though. Winds are pretty impressive so far. Hoping we don't lose power overnight...but woodstove is going just in case. Western CT clearly gonna be the CT jackpot. what do you see for us?

hooralph Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Came out to pick up dinner at Foley's (site of two GTG's)... Blowing for sure outside, but really fine grains. Maybe 4" already drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbosch Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I don't like that slight hole to my SE, fill in, come on now. Maybe the band will stay stuck to me but I am on the eastern edge of it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Well now this is interesting... It pinged for few minutes, then went back to snow, now it is almost entirely small snow balls out there mixed with lifted blown snow. Trees are starting to jet engine here. 21/20.

DomNH Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Don't sweat it..... Nope, Tip's explanation makes sense. One ping every minute and a half maybe...ripping otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 This is the most impressive snow/wind combination I've seen since Jan 96 Surprised the wind hasn't caused more issues...CL&P only has 469 outages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB-Weather Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Ahh guess those things aren't gravity waves o0. Up to about 5 inches now, some drifts over a foot.. Will be interesting to see how high some of the drifts will be from this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesun Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Where does the deformation zone sit when the the H5 low captures the surface and slows the storms progress. That pivot point will be huge. Do you think CT valley has a shot? This is the most impressive snow/wind combination I've seen since Jan 96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorEastermass128 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I think we can avoid power outages BOS metro if temps stay in the low-middle 20s. Currently 22F here...barring a blown down tree branch, we should keep power. Down by Bridgewater-Middleboro-Quincy areas, I'd be a little more concerned... Any thoughts...

dendrite Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Well now this is interesting... It pinged for few minutes, then went back to snow, now it is almost entirely small snow balls out there mixed with lifted blown snow. Trees are starting to jet engine here. 21/20. I assume those "pingers" look like little pieces of styrofoam? It does sound a bit like convection is playing around with the snow crystals giving them graupel like properties even without a warm layer.

radiator Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Tropical storm conditions with s+ snow. Incredible here in sw ct. gusting to 50 mph. How close to the water are you? I'm probably about a dozen miles N of where you are... I don't have any instrumentation other than temperature (23.5 right now)... Wind is gusting, snow is snowing, but I don't believe that I'm seeing anything like what you are describing... I go outside every 2 hours or so to brush snow off of a "garage in a box" tent structure and to knock it off of some low branches, best guess is 5" deep now. Elevation here is about 450 feet ASL...

Ryan I cant explain how insane it has been the last hour here in Fairfield, I have never seen it snow this hard with wind gusts exceeding 50 mph, it physically hurts to walk outside right now.
