wxmanmitch Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Beautiful flake structure now, alternating between moderate and SN+. Yes, here too. This is adding up quickly. It'll be interesting to see how long this lasts. If it's an hour or two more, we could 3 to 4 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yes, here too. This is adding up quickly. It'll be interesting to see how long this lasts. If it's an hour or two more, we could 3 to 4 inches. Just an absolutely beautiful snow falling right now. Love to watch it fall through the floodlights. You're right it is adding up quickly, looks like about 2" new. Would love to tack on another few. P.S. I like the Thunder snow icon.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 It looked very convective. That cell was flying east at 40kts. Had almost 50dbz echoes. Yep you're right, I missed this... The dippin dot generator for the record: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I have picked up 0.5" from this evening's action. Here's a photo of an accident in Salem, NH. You'd think it was taken as the accident was in progress but actually that is how the car came to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Total for the two days so far is 13.5 but we're laying some more down right now. Magic was fantabulous. All steep terrain open and covered with tons o'snow. Nice thing about them being closed TUE/Wed/ Thurs (unless it's a powder day) is the whole mountain was unskied when we caught first chair. Freshies. Even had to get roped off the chair when it broke down around 3:30. Bonus free ski voucher. All in all a great day. What's the story with the weekend system? out of the loop today. How long were you up there? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yep you're right, I missed this... The dippin dot generator for the record: wxsniss, dipping dots is the perfect describer. Anyone who has seen them immediately goes...YES...THA'TS IT!. Now we await (hopefully) a more traditional burst. 18.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Pete, that is bizarre. Ever happen to you before? Snowing moderately here from what I can see. If I can get 0.3", it would make 12" for the event. Correction, I can't add! Only needed 0.1", which I have gotten and then some. Looks like 0.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ineedsnow Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 kevin i know you were wondering about the big y in tolland earlier!!! This isnt the tolland bigy but maybe the same problem there? Wilbraham Big Y store evacuated Store cleared as precaution after tile shift Updated: Wednesday, 02 Feb 2011, 6:19 PM EST Published : Wednesday, 02 Feb 2011, 4:06 PM EST Sy BeckerWILBRAHAM, Mass. (WWLP) - The Big Y World Class Market in Wilbraham was evacuated as a safety precaution late Wednesday morning. Store director David Cournoyer explained for 22News the reason for the evacuation: “We noticed there were a couple of ceiling tiles that had shifted and for the safety of employees and customers we decided to evacuate the store.” Cournoyer then accompanied a structural engineer and a Wilbraham fire department safety team to inspect the ceiling. 22News will let you know when the Big Y Wilbraham store will once again be open.

dendrite Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Are they different from grapuel? graupel/snow pellets/soft hail...all the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Are they different from grapuel? No, but I personally tend to think of graupel as a little more rimed, but its the same process. These were very soft in comparison to some other graupel I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Nice little temp spike going on right now...up 3F in the past 20 min. The CAD airmass was colder than the one advecting in from the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
