12z Reggie brings a band of snow into SNE tonight with that sharp shortwave...drops around an inch or so from central CT to E MA.
So maybe something to watch.
Starting to get accumulation now of pellets. Didn't even hear them at first but looked outside and saw a thin translucent coating on the car and walkway. Sure, enough, I see them pinging off the railing.
Awesome...I love to see the ski areas hit hard...esp in western Maine where they don't benefit from upslope as much....this should be a fantastic base builder for Shawnee and SR....get a couple more of these to make sure skiing is great deep into March/early April.
I don’t park on the incline. We have a horseshoe driveway adjacent to the steep part.
This is from a couple weeks ago but here’s what it looks like from the cozy coup point of view
It will cool until it gets to 32 and then the very process of water trying to freeze will release latent heat and halt the cooling unless the advection is stronger than the rate of latent heat release. We have advection going on so the cooling likely won’t stop completely but the trip from 40s to 32 is a lot faster than 32 to 31 because of that. So I think most of us rot around 32 until the secondary push comes in.
32.4F here now. Still think it’s at least another 90 min though until we creep below freezing. It’s mostly 32s until you get to near Andover and Georgetown where the 30s and 31s show up.
Yeah looks like the real edge of the cold is around PSM now. Seeing some meso stations ripping 15 knots sustained around Kittery. We may get to 31-32 in the next hour or two here but we probably aren’t getting the real flash freeze type stuff until we get that secondary push that’s near PSM now. Figure it will try and accelerate, but even 20+ knots will take 2.5-3 hours or so.
It will likely be precipitating most of the day today but the heavy stuff is probably confined to the morning and maybe lunchtime hours.
Obviously even light icing though can be a problem.
2/8 seems like a long shot and not a great airmass anyway but who knows, maybe it threads a needle.
A larger scale signal is showing up around 2/12-2/14ish…a lot of guidance juices the western ridge and we know what happens a lot with that.
34F and raining in Holliston. Temp made it up to 43-44F here last evening but the 50s stayed away….interesting because ORH touched 50F very briefly overnight before it dropped back to near 40F (now they are 33)
Looks like we still have about 3 hours though until the real cold comes in. It’s accelerating down the seacoast now but it will take some time.
