CoastalWx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I was arguing that it should have been more latitudnal all along; when mid level temps are the main determinant, proximity to the ocean should be of secondary consideration. Get ready to spike the snw football, KLWM. Yeah these are always latitudinal. The classic wnw-ese 0C 850 line his a huge hint for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm getting nothing now...dry slot FTL. Looks like a pretty big dry slot S of L.I. That may save a lot of CT from major ice accretion. I'm hoping we stay mostly snow until precip is too light to really matter later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Whatever little areas where the precip let up to the south..it's rapidly filling in..get ready for an afternoon /night of freezing rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BostonWX Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Sleet just flipped back to snow her. Looks like a solid 2-5 in the Boston metro. I think I'll hit approx 35ish today with the 32*iso not too far west of me. Tiniest possibility that I stay at freezing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 AWT WE HAVE UPGRADED PORTIONS OF EASTERN CT...NORTHWEST RI AND PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL MA TO WINTER STORM WARNINGS. THE BOUNDARY LAYER IS JUST SO COLD AND WITH THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE EXPECTED TO PASS NEAR NANTUCKET/OUTER-CAPE ITS GOING TO BE AWFULLY TOUGH TO GET TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING MUCH TO THE NORTHWEST OF 128. THEREFORE...RAPIDLY ADVANCING MID LEVEL WARM AIR SHOULD CHANGE MOST PLACES TO SLEET/FREEZING RAIN UP TO THE MA TURNPIKE BY NOON. THE COAST SHOULD EVENTUALLY CHANGE TO RAIN DURING THE AFTERNOON AS ENOUGH OF A MARINE LAYER WORKS INTO THE REGION. HOWEVER...NORTHWEST OF 128 WHERE TEMPERATURES WILL PROBABLY REMAIN BELOW FREEZING THE MAIN PRECIPITATION TYPE THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE FREEZING RAIN. ONE QUARTER TO ONE HALF INCH OF ICE ACCRETION IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION. THIS MAY RESULT IN LARGE TREE LIMBS COMING DOWN ALONG WITH SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES. THIS WAS THE REASON WE UPGRADED TO A WINTER STORM WARNING. You're about to get dryslotted though. In fact, I think we all are based on the regional radar. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 CT valley colder than Kev. We're getting hammered right now. Good call by Sam last night for this area up through the Monads. Decent net snow gain here almost guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Heavy, heavy ice coming...AWT. Looks like my home nearby station is 33 , hoping it warms just enough. The pack has been glazed and bullet proofed.I am all good with ice. Edit , called wife, says melting has begun, phew 33 .5 at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Just some very light fr drizzle now, radar has dried up pretty quickly across western ct. Easy to see where the firehose is pointed.........extreme eastern new england is going to receive some impressive qpf amounts. Net gain here, ice ice baby. Teflon for the win.

ChrisM Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Heavy, heavy ice coming...AWT. temperatures are nosing up SE of here pretty quickly (im in Storrs right now, not Torrington). Hoping that doesn't make it here too soon or it'll just be plain old rain. At home in the NW Corner however, it looks like they might have some problems. big problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbosch Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I do not want much more ZR, but it is cool to hear it on the trees when they move ever so slightly and to crunch through the thick coating developing on the snow. We need that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
