OKpowdah Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Vis holding at 3sm at EEN. A few more dendrites thrown in the mix. Maybe 0.2" so far. This feels horribly like PDII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 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. Yeah I do not think its possible for it to be actual sleet. The sounding doesn't support it. It has to probably be some little weird bubble of lifting/snow crystal diagnostics going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 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... I am 200 yards from the sal****er marsh, bdr just gusted to 50knots its insane down here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVries Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Ridiculous band just S of BOS....should get them soon. We need that action ASAP...been sitting under this snow gap for the last 15 minutes or so...NOT COOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinWX Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I just ticked up from 22 to 25...I wonder if this band south of Boston is the first sign of the coastal front enhancement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherX Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 We are ripping horizontal curtains here with redeveloping bands that like the area. Estimate is 6" 24.1F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 50 knots bdr!!!!!!!! I saw your twitter post...SICK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman21 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 50 knots bdr!!!!!!!! Not surprising. I've seen a few gusts down here on the sound in Greenwich that look like they are around 50 mph with frequent gusts generally in the 35-40 range. Not a ton of snow here so far, but visibility is generally in the 1/4-5/8SM range owing more to the wind gusts than prolific snowfall rates.

ORH_wxman Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 The band just south of BOS is clear CF enhancement I think. It might be making a bit of a push NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 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. Yes, absolutely! it looks like those little packing styro pellets - AND, come to recall ..eh heh, almost every time I've been in thunder snow situations it was accompanied by a mix in with this p-type. I also just saw flash of lighting and heard thunder in Ayer. My Met buddy called me from down the road in FIT because he got that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
