  1. That mini dryslot filled in quick for eastern areas. Crazy how just when it was lightening up, now it’s completely choking flakes again. This has been a really fun storm.
  2. This is the best snow here in hours. We weren’t even necessarily getting better returns than the last few hours but the dryslot approaching is probably helping.
  3. Snow growth has improved considerably closer to the dryslot. Absolutely choking flakes right now
  4. Yeah you can kind of extrapolate where the pellet line is based on the cape and RI. Looks right through plymouth.
  5. Didn’t melt anything down but it’s prob around 13 to 1 or so. We had some great ratios earlier in the afternoon but recently it’s been baking powder.
  6. We’ve had pretty bad snow growth since about 6….but it’s been absolutely puking snow so it’s still piling up quickly. CF is knocking on the door but no change in snow growth yet.
  7. You know it’s a good airmass when ACK is gusting over 40 knots out of the east but they have S+ at 27F.
  8. Extremely low vis in this stuff. Snow growth isn’t amazing but it’s decent. It’s just puking though
  9. It’s not very often you cannot see any dryslot yet when zoomed out on the NY State radar view
  10. This is probably the best radar I’ve ever seen that wasn’t a coastal…and even with the coastals, prob only a few would surpass this look…your firehose type events or maybe just incredible intensity in a large CCB like Feb 2013.
  11. There we go. That’s 2008 style right there. That’s gonna really suck too since it’s cold behind this storm. Lot of people without heat.
  12. First hour or 90 min here was pure baking powder. Had to get into the 20-25 dbz stuff before seeing good snow growth.
  13. Absolute poundage in this band. This is perfect snow growth and not much wind. Prob over 20 to 1 when you are in a band like this.
  14. Dendrites starting to mix in. We’ve been moderate pure baking powder for about an hour now. Growth noticeably improving the last few min. Temp 4.8F.
