Well the air changes as the wind blows doesnt it

I was shocked by being 33 watching virga with 12 dewpoint and dropping so rapidly to 26/24 in 30 minutes as the front got closer. But again there's going to be a transition between these lows and I have no idea who that will affect both the front giving me the goods and what will happen there, the 995 low in va is fucking with me because it looks like its off the coast of jersey

Also theoretically the low is moving east and presumably reforming off the coast of LI, and you are still north of it so this front will surely push your way NE of the low. Which may mean an MD is coming your way in a few hours. Your getting your snow tonight. I bet we end up being very similar in totals which is frankly quite rare, it's usually you or me.

Just not your winter my man. I know you like to be in the best parts and who doesnt. But surely your close enough to get enhanced rates...just maybe not the 2 inches per hour?

showing some frontogenesis there along the cold front? That encircled blue area just had a mesoscale discussion released, and as the radar shows it did just stop snowing here... Mesoscale Discussion 0254 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1240 AM CST Sat Mar 04 2023 Areas affected...portions of northeast NY into VT/NH and western ME Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 040640Z - 041245Z SUMMARY...Heavy snow with rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour is expected across parts of northeast New York, into New Hampshire, Vermont, and western Maine through around 12z/7am EST. DISCUSSION...Areas of light to moderate snow are ongoing across portions of the New England. A heavier band of precipitation over eastern NY into MA and southern VT/NH will lift north/northeast and intensify overnight. This activity is occurring within a band of strong 700 mb frontogenesis and midlevel warm advection, ahead of a compact upper trough and surface cyclone. Forecast RAP soundings show thermodynamic profiles becoming saturated, with an approximately 2.5 kft deep dendritic growth zone. Strong ascent through the DGZ and the saturated thermodynamic profile will support increasing snowfall rates, with periods of 1 to 2 inch per hour rates expected. The highest snowfall rates appear most likely in the 08-12z time frame.

wow, way to saturate that column, KMVL

Never noticed your profile pic 2 of my favorite things, Snoopy and the Dead. Please stay up all night and keep posting the same pic so we can see the progress!

Temp dropped from 33 to 26 and dewpoint went from 12 to 25 in 20 minutes, bam it's snowing. Was also wild to watch the winds which were out of the north and west go 100 % from the SE/East with gusts to 20. 1/4 in in the first hour

only word for this is gobsmacked, whats happend in cali this year is just unreal. To the point that it brought tornado chasers to make videos of it, I love that.

can i embed this???

Its cold windy and literally dumping out there right now.

Now snowing for real in N VT

I just saw 3 flakes

Heavy band and still not snow reaching me

22.5 dp 16 no snow

also this air is so dry it's been snowing over my head for 2 hours

My question is did SSW have to do with this? The science doesnt seem strong yet it seems like it's happening. Seems like it was maybe , maybe ,maybe and now yes?. So is it?

glad you are all getting snow. But why isnt it snowing here! Damn virga

Its coming right at me (from the NW)

Surely it's a blizzard

Euro and GFS show a foot out to 240 for both Stowe and Methuen. Ill take it.

well the euro is now a 987 low, getting closer to George's 970 that fixes things

So how much did Ray's Turkey farm get around 5-6? I know it's not you buy I do love them and their gravy!! I've eaten at least 10 of their turkeys. I also love the pies from Mann's!!

I am also familiar with the ukie being called uncle. I have been around since ne.weather but all these years a lurker, I remember when pf still lived in Albany and could forecast microclimates for VT better than the nws and was delighted when he moved here in btv and then when he lived in snow country near MRG before coming to stowe. I remember when it died with joe bartlo and the psests. rip joe, you were a freakshow, just like usafdude from the cape James who is also dead. And then eastern and dt and larry c and the radio shows the used to have for big storms. I used to play in the tq forecasting competitons too in the early 2000's. Been around the block since aol in 1995.
