Mr Torchey Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 amazing how totals differ is sw ct. the first band sat over greenwich this morning while we had nothing, hearing reports of up to 5 inches, 4 in New Canaan, and just spoke to my sister in Wilton she has 4". I have less than one, but just to my north has 1-3 and to my east where an excellent band came ashore from stratford east to branford. Certainly mesoscale and elevation helped a lot as well. Crazy stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 No once this moves through it stops. We then get into some extra snow tomorrow from a different system... you can't combine the two for your wild totals. With moist onshore flow and a little lift..I won't be at all surprised if it never fully stops snowing..even if it's just dustings during the day tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy stuff Yeah some spots in western CT will get 6 or 7. Greenwich is a good example of some place that got hit hard by banding and gt 5" or so. In general it's a 2-4 kind of event.

Arnold214 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Yeah, I was just looking at HVN ... 30-35dBZ returns on the doorstep. Should be a nice drive on the Merritt today. yeah, people may have to slow it down to under 70 for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 With moist onshore flow and a little lift..I won't be at all surprised if it never fully stops snowing..even if it's just dustings during the day tomorrow Maybe a dusting in the hills but most places see winds turn NW and dry out. Sun should be out for at leasta time tomorrow. None of this "snow lightly all day" crap you put out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 taking a look at the wv...I think there will be an adjustment slightly west with the vort in Minnesota...the mid and upper level drying apparent in the WV suggests the vort is further west than the 6 hour forecasts of the 12z nam and the 12z gfs.

CT Rain Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Areas just east of DXR like around Southbury are getting crushed. Some mesoscale band has just parked there. Should be piling up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Wow the 15z SREF's are very bullish foe SE MA/CC. not shocking...I keep seeing these adjustments west in the WV that would tend to be good for the Saturday night system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 not shocking...I keep seeing these adjustments west in the WV that would tend to be good for the Saturday night system. I wonder if the NAM winds up scoring a coup with this. If it backs up a bit more NW the cities get a good thump of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 For better or worse NAM got a lot of things right at 0h vs the old run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 not shocking...I keep seeing these adjustments west in the WV that would tend to be good for the Saturday night system. It's going to boil to some minute mesoscale features. Unlikely that the globals will be able to pick up on them. Weenie me if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wokeupthisam Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Trough lift modeled to weaken considerably once it starts rotating to the NE. Lake-effect-style-snowband fun though in some spots right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 NAM is much late with the energy coming around the ULL vs the earlier run. More in line with the GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Jerry, scott.. RE the OES. Im up the island looking east. Very dark clouds with black right down to the oceans surface threatening to move in. Still looks like 25 miles away. W/o looking at radar looks like judging by the sky theres snow falling on the north shore. Sun is out here with scrappy cumu and milky cirrus.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 NAM holding back some of the energy this time - started right at 0h and that's well supported by the WV/RUC etc. What we see is a little less vorticity at the coast a few hours earlier 18h than prior runs with more behind it. Kicker or does that buy us time to get it up the coast more? It looks to me like it's not going to sneak the energy around as fast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, maybe it's been breaking up a bit as it moves north. My friend Tom is generally pretty accurate with his snow reports. He was up in the N side of the park near RT 2. He said there were bursts of moderate but they would only last a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
