HIPPYVALLEY

Ended up with 4.5” on the picnic table. Not bad all things considered. That puts me a little bit over 11 inches for the month.

Should be at least another hour of fun here.

Snow growth flipped, best rates of the night now,

The dry air is for real. I’m finally getting better snow growth with these bands rotating in from E NY. It’s a cold snow storm.

Wow! Glad your area got hit, hopefully Springfield did ok too.

Has turned to full diamond dust here now. Down to 14.8F hopefully get a few more hours, would be nice to add another inch.

It’s a little bit better than Arctic sand here but definitely smaller flakes. Coming down pretty good right now and it looks like some heavier bands might rotate in soon.

Baking powder snow and teens make for tough driving conditions. A friend of mine just drove from Greenfield to Northampton and said 91 south is treacherous.

How is snow growth there? Started here around 8:15 but we are only at about 1.5”. Pure baking powder. has not gotten any heavier than moderate since it started. Hopefully see a little improvement in flake size, but either way should end up with a few inches.

No flurries here, started right up as -SN about 5 minutes ago.

It’s 19/7 here. Lots of dry air to overcome.

There will be a sharp cutoff where 20 miles could be the difference between 6” fluff and 1”-2” arctic sand grains.

Yeah, I think it will be icy for a bit, but hopefully not enough accretion to cause any issues.

Is that the winter equivalent of “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity”?

The timing gives them the flexibility to issue advisories in the afternoon update. They not sold on the more NE solutions yet.
