DomNH Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I love getting 1/4sm +SN when the radar shows subsidence Base reflectivity is off, go to composite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbsfreeenergy Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 And there were some naysayers all along saying 20" totals were unlikely lol. A large swath of CT is gonna come close. We'll see a 30" report or two when all is said and done! newtown had 20 and was still ripping 30dbz band! way west Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostman Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 10.5" - that's about 2-2.5 in the last hour. Insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sn0waddict Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yeah Fairfield has had the band most of the time. I think just north in Easton or Trumbull all the way to Danbury, that's the spot to be. I don't know about 30" but it'll be close. Probably going to get a final near 20 here in Fairfield. Newtown/Ridgefield has a shot of at least 26-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 You gotta love the NAM. No one should speak ill of it for the rest of the winter. I sure won't Still pouring out snow here at least 1" per hour The problem is/was ...and this goes for a lot of Mets as well, they are on autopilot with their assumptions about the models when the reality is, one needs to pick and choose what situations what tool is going to be better for. You don't send a plumber to a seamstress convention - 4 days ago I hammered out all the reasons why the NAM would be superior for this type of meso-beta scaled scenario, leveraging in not just model type but in situ environmental conditions too. Then, ensuing days and threads went by - I didn't sense that folks either understood what I was talking about, or ignored perhaps. I don't know. But no one has any excuse as far as I am concerned because it was written on the wall back then and is verifying rather nicely. I do, however, think that while the NAM will have embarrassed the GFS's SE low track (up until the last minute, too) the QPF on the NAM may bust a little high. That is okay, because the other parameters are nailed so tightly. We'll have to see how that goes in the end. Ayer, snow now up to the top of the tire wells of my car. Bluish tint to the air in snow mist and snow. 1/3 mil vis. 27F. S/S+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vttaconics Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Snow day!!! Close to 5" in Ira, VT! Beautiful powder, and it hasn't even begun to blow away yet Hoping for ten inches up here, but that may be a stretch. Any posters from the Berks? Looks to be ripping as hard there as in western CT.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwinter23 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Id like to hear a wind report from that feature that just crossed over block island at the tail end of the CCB. I imagine that is the type of feature that produced 100mph wind gust on Cape Cod with the 12/9/2005 storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
