DomNH Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 You called 3-5" yesterday for your area, seems reasonable. 6-10" if you're lucky, probably less than that, only because the snowgrowth blows. Just awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Yea...this honestly looks like Dec 16, 2007 to me....not even just weenie goggles. Only difference is that snow growth is inferior to that event. You should rip for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Not sure if the accumulation cited in the GC zfp is "for the rest of the day" or not. But suspect it is...... How do you put rain in a forecast when you say the highs in the lower 20's? .REST OF TODAY...SNOW...RAIN AND FREEZING RAIN LATE THIS MORNING...THEN FREEZING RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW THIS AFTERNOON. PATCHY FOG. PATCHY FREEZING FOG THIS AFTERNOON. SNOW MAY BE HEAVY AT TIMES WITH VISIBILITY ONE QUARTER MILE OR LESS AT TIMES. SNOW AND SLEET ACCUMULATION OF 4 TO 6 INCHES. COLD WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 20S. NORTHWEST WINDS 5 TO 10 MPH...BECOMING NORTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION NEAR 100 PERCENT. .TONIGHT...CLOUDY. FREEZING RAIN WITH SNOW LIKELY IN THE EVENING...THEN A CHANCE OF SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT. PATCHY FOG IN THE EVENING. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATION OF 6 TO 10 INCHES. ICE ACCUMULATION OF A TENTH TO ONE QUARTER OF AN INCH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomNH Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Flakes look nice, but I'm guessing aggregates vs. dendrites. Ripping though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 NWS upgraded us from 1-2" to 4-6"; snowing heavily at 18.6F. Could it be that we end up with a net gain from this??? I think so......but it's gonn aget fairly ugly for about 24 hrs because cold is not going to crash back in, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
