dryslot Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yeah, I saw that. GYX has increased snow chances here from 20% yesterday to 40% currently, which buoys my hopes. Radar looks good upstream. Wind is ripping pretty good w/ gusts approaching 30 at SFM. Jay in Bridgton probably would've seen snow if he wasn't back in Mass. Point and click has me at 50% chance, Looks like i could catch a piece if it stays together, Little concerend with temps though as i am at 36.2F, Yeah jay is missing out being back in BOS....

powderfreak Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Visibilities at ASOS stations with these snow squalls: BTV reported 1/8th of a mile. MPV reported 1/4th of a mile. MVL reported 1/4th of a mile. Its hard to get ASOS to report under 1/4 mile and BTV is a manned station so they might have augmented to get that 1/8th. I bet both MPV and MVL got below 1/4 miles too... but the ASOS has a hard time grasping that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downslope is really drying it out though. RH is only 48%. Going to need things to moisten up. Should happen as the trough comes through. Looks like less then an inch.

I rarely do well with them at home but you might remember that one strong windex that ripped through SNE last winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Squall finished. Picked up 1/2 an inch in about 15 minutes. Love squalls with brief near blizzard conditions. Nice to see the ground white. Another one to my NW not sure yet if it will make it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 We ended up with 3 squalls going through with about 3/4" of snow total. Still ice/sleet coating below it in shaded areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I’m not sure exactly when it fell, but as of 3:45 P.M. we’d picked up 0.6 inches of snow at the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Second squall did hit here and was heavier than the first. I went to the store in between just so that I'd get to be "out in it". Visibility was a couple of hundred yards and the wind was ripping. +SN and winds gusting to 30 are a sweet combination. I tried to take some action photos from the driver's seat but they're pretty blurry. Anyway, not a lot of accum ... I'd guess about 0.3". Nice day.
