mahk_webstah Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 22/19, back to snow after an extended period of pixie dust. Congrats to Box so far as the timing/amounts have been on the money here. Additional 4-6" looks like a good call based on current radar trends. Spoke to my Mom in the Hudson Valley and she reports about 7" and sn+. Also congrats to all SW Conn weenies. I love how happy snow makes people young and old. Big Winter incoming, big big Winter. Any doubters left? Not a doubter just chomping at the bit. Had to get out today and off the computer. Went out and did errands, long workout at the gym, tasted wedding cakes, had a portrait taken......all the while looking at partly cloudy skies with no snow. Catching up now and wanting to get in on the action. No doubt you had a great day. You are good are getting out and enjoying it. So am I, but it has to fall. Maybe I shouldn't be but kinda optimisitc for some snow on Wednesday. The models all seem to bringing it more and more north and ensembles are west. DT is apparently saying it should track more south but I think he is in SE VA panic mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 At least 3"/hr, some of the heaviest snow I have ever seen, 8" and quickly rising I'm just reading through the posts now, but I gotta say I am thoroughly enjoying reading about the shellacking that parts of SW CT has been seeing. Great stuff, everyone. I love reading the play by play and double digits is impressive... Also need to say great job to the mets and amateurs on here who highlighted the fact that there would be a band of very heavy snow somewhere within a more general light snowfall. These events must be impossible to forecast for those that do it for a living... widespread 2-5" with 12"+ in areas, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB-Weather Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Just about 6 inches in North Branford, still snowing at a rather good clip. Hopefully we can pick up another 1-2 inches with this band coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Yeah, like Will, Im just on the southern edge of the band, and we have a coating on all surfaces. Looks like the band has weakened rather then stregthened in the last few frames too. We may see pulses of snow coming in from the E and trying to get enhanced a bit by the upslope....as long as the main stuff is still SW of us, it will probably be tough to get a steadier snow for long, but it could come in pulses.

cpickett79 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Everything covered in like 3 minutes lol...radar looks like I could bang it there a little map with link....shows you are on northern edge of where heavy heavies are drawn. http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0009.html AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF NWRN...CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL CT AND ERN LONG ISLAND CONCERNING...HEAVY SNOW VALID 080020Z - 080315Z MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL WITH RATES UP TO 1 INCH PER HOUR ARE POSSIBLE UNTIL 03-04Z ACROSS PARTS OF NWRN/CENTRAL THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL CT AND ERN LONG ISLAND. TRENDS IN SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SUGGEST THE HIGHER SNOWFALL RATES/LOWER VISIBILITIES HAVE BEEN ACROSS CT. IN ADDITION...THESE AREAS OF SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD INTO SERN CT AND SHOULD DIMINISH BY 06Z IN THAT AREA. AT 2355Z...REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY SHOWED TWO PRIMARY AREAS OF PRECIPITATION /MAINLY IN THE FORM OF SNOW/ EXTENDING FROM S OF LONG ISLAND NNWWD THROUGH CT AND THEN NWWD TO SERN NY...TO THE N OF KPOU. THE LEADING BAND...NOW MOVING INTO SERN CT...IS ASSOCIATED WITH LOW LEVEL WAA REGIME LOCATED N OF A BAROCLINIC ZONE WHICH EXTENDS FROM CENTRAL/SERN NY THROUGH CT TO AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WELL OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST /205 S KACK/. MEANWHILE...THE SECOND BAND OF SNOW WAS LOCATED ALONG A GENERALLY N-S FRONT MOVING EWD WITH THE BACK EDGE OF THIS PRECIPITATION EXTENDING FROM NWRN-SOUTH CENTRAL CT...ERN LONG ISLAND AND OFFSHORE TO 90 SSE KISP. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED A MIDLEVEL IMPULSE TRACKING NEWD ACROSS CT/LONG ISLAND AT THIS TIME...WITH THIS FEATURE EXPECTED TO MOVE N OF CT INTO VT/NH BY 06Z. ASCENT WITH THIS FEATURE COMBINED WITH ASCENT ALONG THE EWD MOVING FRONT AND LOW LEVEL WAA WILL SUPPORT CONTINUED SNOW...SOME HIGHER RATES THROUGH MID-LATE EVENING. ONCE THE BACK EDGE OF PRECIPITATION MOVES THROUGH A GIVEN LOCATION... SNOWFALL POTENTIAL SHOULD DIMINISH GREATLY...AND ESPECIALLY AS THE MIDLEVEL FORCING MOVES AWAY FROM THIS REGION.

Yeah, count me as one!!! We're into January and I have no snow on the ground which is not normal at all. I am a serious doubter at this point. The carrot always seems to be 4 to 7 days out. Let's see some snow!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbosch Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I'm all set for another inch or two tomorrow night. We can overperform a bit again. I love it. THE COMBINED MID-LEVEL INSTABILITY/LIFT OF THE UPPER LOW...INVERTEDTROUGH LIFTING NE FROM CENTRAL JERSEY...AND WRAP AROUND MOISTURE FROM THE DEEPENING SURFACE LOW SHOULD HAVE SCT TO NUMEROUS SNOW SHOWER DEVELOPING ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION SAT AFTERNOON. IF THE INVERTED TROUGH SLIDES FAR ENOUGH NORTH SAT AFTERNOON...COULD SEE A PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW ACROSS NYC AND NE NJ. SAT EVENING THE EVENT TRANSITIONS TO COASTAL LOW DEVELOPMENT WITH THE LONGEST DURATION AND INTENSITY OF SNOW EXPECTED TO BE ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA CLOSEST TO THE SURFACE LOW. ALSO INCREASING INDICATIONS THAT THE EASTERN 1/3RD OF THE REGION MAY BE AFFECTED BY A PERIOD OF HEAVIER DEFORMATION BANDING SAT NIGHT. CURRENTLY APPEARS THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR ADVISORY LEVEL SNOWS ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN LI AND SE CONN BY SUNDAY MORNING (2 TO 4 INCHES). FURTHER WEST ACROSS ACROSS NYC AND POINTS NW...GENERALLY LOOKING AT AN INCH OR LESS AS THIS REGION WILL LIKELY BE IN THE TRANSITION ZONE BETWEEN THE INVERTED TROUGH TO THE SOUTH AND DEVELOPING LOW TO THE EAST.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Just about 6 inches in North Branford, still snowing at a rather good clip. Hopefully we can pick up another 1-2 inches with this band coming through. Wow...you guys really have done well just a couple towns to my west.

ENX, BOX, and OKX have virtually no echoes over you When i posted that we had a heavy burst. Now it's lightened up somewhat as the big band gets ready to move in.. Why do you always question me when the radar looks like there's not echos? This is the 2nd or 3rd time you've done this to me. Call your other wx weather watcher in Tolland and ask him if you don't believe me. Christ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
