ORH_wxman Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Sent it along as soon as you posted it. Tell them on HAM radio that its a met...and say "North Worcester"...that will let them know its me. And also be different than a regular "Worcester" obs...North Worcester is higher elevation...while it doesnt matter that much in this...it still does in small amounts, and it lets them know its like 3-4 miles north of the airport. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Looks like the northern edge of the dryslot will flirt with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I cant keep up with it...I bet I have 5.5" and pushing 6"...the flakes are huge and accumulating rapidly. I think you are getting some orographic enhancement...my flakes have been consistently small to medium sized with only a few short periods of bigger flakes .

Damage In Tolland Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Legal reasons , if I bought you a bunch of beers and something bad happens....that's why I edited it. Offer stands though, and yes I will be at the next GTG hopefully, with a new ruler and digital camera for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowNH Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Imagine if next week pans out.. we could be looking at 5' snowpacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Snow growth is very banding-dependent with this one. Doesn't matter if temps aloft are perfect if there's meager lift, which is basically what we're seeing for most, except those that are in the heavier bands toward eastern MA where there's locally strong omega. Yea, snowgroth stinks, here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 boy when the snowgrowth improved it was a dramatic difference. 2 inch/hour rates now for sure here in Jerryland. I think closing in on 4 Jer? What a frikkin storm. And it looks like some heavier snow built up towards my area north of Con, NH so I will have some nice fluff when I get home later.

ORH_wxman Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I think you are getting some orographic enhancement...my flakes have been consistently small to medium sized with only a few short periods of bigger flakes . Yeah possibly..but they are massive here...they are like quarters....or at least nickels. Not sure about the Shrewsburey posters to my east at lower elevations. They usually match my obs except in some events...they are like 5-8 miles E of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah440 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I cant keep up with it...I bet I have 5.5" and pushing 6"...the flakes are huge and accumulating rapidly. Good news for the Spencer Snowbirds. Great club, none work harder on their trails and have had a tough few years. They should be good well until March with these last 2 weeks.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 agreed...I'm 5-7 miles NW of there and I haven't anything but steady small flakes. Looks like about 3-3.5". agree on the CF enhancement. The last 30 minutes of so has been the heaviest since daylight. I hope it can keep snow at least until school would have started. I think the kids will be sleding under bluebird skies by 11.....JMHO Nice little storm though to cover up all the gross brown snow on the sides of the roads. All I'm saying is I talked to someone right behind the Middleboro SP barracks an hour ago and they had a mix. I haven't spoken to them since and it's looking like it collapsed SE on radar. I don't know how long it went on, how much it hurt totals etc, The bridgewater webcams never waivered, been mod heavy snow the entire time http://www.bridgew.edu/bearcams/clocktower.cfm Kingston has waivered at times http://www.instacam.com/showcam.asp?id=KNGST&size=S city highway webcam site http://www1.eot.state.ma.us/ I think the mix line shows up pretty well on KTAN radar SE of 495/24 right now, maybe at Exit 4 ish. It doesn't look like it's making any more progress, and it's stopped around exit 7/8 on Rte 3 as well it would appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the Shrewsburey posters to my east at lower elevations. They usually match my obs except in some events...they are like 5-8 miles E of me. you've probably also been under the deeper lift further west...you can see that was a nice deep band on the Upton radar.

Yeah he may have a bit of weenie ruler for Jan 12...but he is money in that spot at 300 ft W of BOS. Big flakes here continue...this is a great finale.

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I am 2 miles west of 91 and it is still ripping here. Visibilities have come up slightly yeah but it does not look like it's doing much of anything just west of you towards litchfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the Shrewsburey posters to my east at lower elevations. They usually match my obs except in some events...they are like 5-8 miles E of me. Shrewsbury Its been changing back and forth here. There was a period of massive snow falkes the size of quarters then a period of smaller flakes. Right now its somewhere in between with some larger flakes mixing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. In this case "most" models correctly pinned the best dynamics in the eastern 1/2 of SNE. Writing was on the wall last night......a nice refresher, anyway. Are you practicing reverse psycho here? You're about to get hit very hard. I've heard you get handsy after a few drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Moderate snow in PWM. Jetport reporting .50 sm vis. No idea on accums, probably a few inches. Had 1.7" when I left home at 6:30. Sounds like you guys to the south are having a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
