3km NAM had a nice parting shot for you SNE’ers. Dropped about a 1/4-1/3” frozen QPF on the way out... probably 1-3” pretty widespread.
-
Sounds identical to this area this morning. No snow visible until 1,300ft and then at 1,400-1,500ft arriving at work there was some snow on elevated surfaces, mulch beds, planters, that sort of stuff. It was sort of funny in that there wouldn't be any snow on the actual ground, but if a tree had fallen over there would be snow on that tree trunk. You'd only see snow on elevated stuff just off the forest floor, like stumps, downed trees, etc.
-
I noticed that too. Odd how it had a colder profile aloft over the South Shore (maybe due to the stronger precip at the time?), but I still think the low levels are quite marginal. But if it's ripping at -7C at 850mb you'd think that's a flip to snow. 11AM Friday and the coldest H85 temps were basically south shore?
-
Ha I found it funny that there are those rogue EPS members that look nothing like any other guidance. That ol' "So you're saying there's a chance" 1 in 10 or 1 in 20 shot of a bigger snow bomb.
-
Look at some of the EPS members... there's still a chance up here LOL.
-
Yeah that first wave is much further north with the precip shield.
-
GEFS snow probabilities have been plummeting each run since yesterday to barely anything at 12z. Yesterday’s 18z prob 3”<GEFS: 12z Today:
-
GGEM says we got a shot, ha.
-
We live and die with the ICON, lol. It gets the precip pretty far north.
-
Light dusting on roof tops, pumpkins and the mulch beds up here at the mountain.
-
Sometimes it's these narrow latitude gradients that I realize how far north we are, ha.
-
That seems generous but the northern fronto-bands can get it done sometimes. The EPS did expand slightly on the north side and also looked like the SE side.
-
Nice little wave of -SN tonight that moved through. No accums but it was good to see a period of flakes flying.
-
Heavy rime ice on the trees at the ski area last night and today. A few brief breaks in the sky and direct sunlight got pretty bright earlier. Rare to see the trees so white and no snow on the trails. Though I do think the upper elevations had some snow grains falling with the rime. The rime level was around 2,500ft.
-
Awesome! Yeah I remember for sure. Always enjoyed your posts and thoughts. So great to add another MET to the NNE crew. Looking forward to your obs and posts. We are expanding our coverage up here!
-
Got a photo of this observation from earlier... heavy rime ice last night and today. Probably even some snow grains and almost like frozen drizzle accumulating on the upper slopes.
-
Light snow falling at home now. Great to see big flakes in the flood lights.
-
That is nuts!
-
Hey dude! I remember you for sure! Great to see that name. Were you in the BGM area at one point? Trying to remember your old posting location. Thats great to see a familiar name from the EUSWX or earlier times. Some -SN in Burlington per a video I just saw. Snow showers moving in.
-
Yeah I was wondering if we see widespread -SHSN or flurries tonight. Sky has that virga snow wispy look. In fact Mansfield just disappeared in snow it looks like.
-
That ICON looked a lot better for a stronger finish. More of a legit CCB look from NE Mass to E.CT. BED goes from like 41F to 32F in like 2-3 hours of heavy rates.
-
The more impressive part of that run though is south coast of CT looks like they have a shot now. That’s a congrats Ginxy.
-
Oh I know, I remember that story. Ha.
-
Wow. In October none the less.

Huddled in a corner on the ground, bottle next to me, iPhone in hand hitting refresh on the ARW SREF members off E-Wall.... good times. Those m'fers pumping out 970mb lows over BOS like candy with deform bands over ART/MSS, all the while Scooters wife is wandering the neighborhood looking for him thinking he's drowned in the snow somewhere in Weymouth.
