hvysnow79 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Just checked my blitzmail--was hoping for a work cancelation but no such luck. In my ten years at Dartmouth, we've only had two snowdays.... Almost takes an act of god to shut that place down. They've got granite in their veins! It is really coming down hard down here in the Hanover/Lebanon area. I got in about 640 and already a solid 2-3" compared to the 1/4" when I left the house. I see airport is reporting +SN!!!

dendrite Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 +SN and 21.0F. Down to 1/8SM vis here and the Sanbornton RWIS. Ripping huge dendrites in that band. Looks like there will be a brief lull as the next waves of bands move in. Hopefully someone gets a QS band for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitemountainhiker Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wow look at all these Lebanon folk! This is good, very good. DOn't know how much we have out there, and I need to buy a ruler.... It is light out now, and I see some fairly heavy snow falling...kinda looks like a fog. No wind, just another beautiful heavy winter nor'easter in northern New Eng. :snowman: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad River Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Woke up in Montpelier at 5:30 this morning. No snow yet. As I left the house to go to work in Barre, the snow just started and here in Barre it is coming down nicely right now. Looks like a 4-8 is a fair expectation. Then again, it seems like this started a bit earlier than first anticipated so this could be moving out of here quickly too. Hope you guys all get a pile of snow!

w7xman Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Just shoveled my first 7 inches...real low density stuff. Intensity is back up...not to 1/4 mile, but getting close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtWeatherWatcher Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Just a dusting here so far, but it has picked up some intensity in the last 30 minutes. NWS has upped their forecast to 5-9" for today in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Just shoveled my first 7 inches...real low density stuff. Intensity is back up...not to 1/4 mile, but getting close! Hey, welcome back. Good to get an interior Seacoast report--my brother & family live right next door in Newfields....except he's up in Pittsburg, NH snowmobiling right now.

mahk_webstah Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 7 inches at 7:30. 5 inches fell between 5:30 and 7:30. Lulling light snow for last 20 but bigger dendrites starting to come down again just as I type this. scary dry spots opening up on radar but then seeming to fill. What do the short term models say for banding up this way? Hey SJones I am right at the Webster/Salisbury line, where are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked at the Baker webcam--looks good down there. Rippin' right along here too. Certainly moderate if not heavy snow. 18F and about 2" so far.

Snow was very light when I got up at 6:00 but was coming down much harder by the time I left at 7:00. Here in Montpelier it was falling much lighter.

dendrite Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Was down to -SN while I went out for a measurement. Now some large dendritic aggregates are mixing back in. My snow core was 6.2" with 0.60" water equiv so a little better than 10:1. Some of that was lousy snow growth at the beginning where even though we were in the 1/2SM vis snows it was more of a case of getting a large amount 10-12:1 type crystals versus the honking 20-25:1 type. I think we have a chance to really romp over the next few hours at times though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have a chance to really romp over the next few hours at times though. Over the last two hours, the water equiv for KLEB was .17 and .16... It was .08 before that... It's 0.51 for the storm so far... That jibes with the thought that there is near 1/2 foot on the ground... It's honking... With temps in the upper teens... little wind.

Allenson Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hanover forecast: Today: Snow. High near 27. North wind between 5 and 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%.

Let's just say that forecast is a fail and move on. Viz at KLEB back down to 1/4.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in right now. heaviest of the storm and I got 2.5/hour earlier. can't wait to go measure, the steps I shovelled an hour ago have another inch or more on them and we had a lull. Looks like the heavier bands just keep redeveloping around here....I hope that continues as it does look like lighter snow area between con and mht.
