dendrite Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Huge, monster dendrites right now...probably like the rates they were getting in W MA/W CT earlier. We may push a foot by 11am if this keeps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJonesWX Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wow on that shot from Weirs...must be sliding over this way because the heavyheavy is back with a venegance after a 20 minute pause. I'm think us here in Merrimakc cty might experience the trifecta: heavy waa advection snows followed by ccb/deformation and capped off by a pivot point. I think GYX is conservative still...8-18? everyone is already over 8 and looking at the radar it should be 12-20 with isolated to 24 I was at 11" 45 mins ago, and radar looks decent still. I would say we have another 3-4 hours of at least mod snow. so in the end I will be in their 8-18 range, but they waited forever to up the amounts. Way to conservative IMO.

dendrite Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 On your way to 20".......... I doubt I get that high. I'm hoping for ~16". The band I'm under is hopefully about to be reinvigorated. 30+ dbZ all the way to CON now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I just measured 8.1 ... 1.9 of which fell since I shoveled just before 10:00. Think I'll surpass the 12" or so that map depicts. This is great ... total over-performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 IWI M1/4SM with 0.27" in the can last hour. They must be pulling off some 3-5"/hr rates now. 15-16z was the hour I pointed out where it could get crazy. It's 1530z now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Up to 5". After a little lull, it's puking once again. Just did a rudimentary plow of the road before I head out for the day. More to follow certainly. Getting colder too. Back down to 17.5F after reaching 19 earlier in the morn. Lookin' real good for eastern NH/southwestern ME.

How long do the models keep this banding over us? I'm hoping for another couple of hours of these rates. That band is really slowing and it's getting eroded a bit on the NW side as the NW winds start to crank up. Looks like it's still slowly moving toward me though. You're getting clobbered right now. I'm still in the +SN, but "only" the 1/4SM stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitemountainhiker Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Took a walk around the hospital, people think I'm crazy...but the walkways are plowed, so why not? Total estimate about 8 inches? Anyone else havea ruler in the Lebanon area? Its def not heavy snow, but not light either. I could prob see about 1/2 mile, so I guess thats moderate.
