CoastalWx Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 My spidey sense has gone off for April as well. I believe we'll see a major April bomb after a very robust March. Let's face it, despite what some of the debbie Downers would say, this has been and continues to be, a very good winter. Big Winter incoming.BIG BIG WINTER!!!1 I'm sort of shaky..but the second..and possibly third week of March or beyond could be good for some. I still see the PNA and se ridge trying to battle it out, but it has the potential I hope. Certainly not a lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Looks like they picked up a couple slushy inches before the changeover up here in N Chelmsford. They have close to an inch new as well from this evening. The drive up 495 from ORH was kind of ugly. There was pretty much zero ice on the trees east of town...and even in town below 600-700 feet.

HoarfrostHubb Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 This was a nice surprise for me, actually not a surprise but my faith was stretched after all the negative nellies slapped me down. I am not throwing in the towel on March, delayed not denied. I talked to a trucker who drove down from just north of Princeton said it was incredible the difference on his ride. SECT is pretty void of good depth other than in the neighborhoods in shaded areas. He said, man its mid winter up there. I told him about you and he knew where weenie ridge was LOL, called it something hill. forget what he called it.

HoarfrostHubb Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Where's Ray...I gotta get a progress report. I walked from the Science Museum to Mike's Pastry. I notice sidewalks were starting to ice over and I mentioned to my daughter that I expect the drizzle to go over to heavier snow shortly. Not 10 seconds later...bam! She had that look of awe in her eyes....lol.. Big splotches quickly accumulating. I figure we'll end with a quick 1-2 inches. Then there is Sunday. 29.5.....cold rain by day, snow by night.

Hg (998 hPa) Pressure tendency rising rapidly I'm pretty sure it's just a METAR translator. The 1z ob is wrong on that site. The METAR was 34F...not 33F. Sometimes you will see weird tenths reported from a SPECI, but it's only because it is being converted to degF from a whole degC. I'm not going to argue about it though.

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Closing in on 7" now (lost an inch to compaction with a period of pl/zr. Jiminy probably ends up around 8" new by morning. Snowing at a good clip currently here and there. Just go to Magic as Jiminy is overpriced and they groom the snot out of every trail.....boring. Magic is superior terrain wise and the mountain is struggling to survive. Give them your business. Not bad.....I had you at 6", pre flip....

Daytime solar effect? Was the rain a little too warm? Yes...the layer of below freezing air underneath the inversion was very very narrow so the water droplets had a hard time super cooling themselves to freeze on contact. So we got marginal icing instead of a huge ice storm. We were pretty lucky actually because that was a lot of liquid equivalent....if the layer of cold air was maybe another 1000 feet deeper, it would have been a terrible ice storm for the 800+ foot crowd....though I guess after 2008 we can handle any ice storm now.
