Logan11 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 We lost 95% of the old snow, but a fresh coating now. Like a thick fog of light snow falling here for the last hour and down to 29.6F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I never was on board for a FF..just that temps would cool off quicker than they have..been slowly dropping thu the 40's here ..but it's too slow. I'm working home now and then off to help at preschool we should see a good drop later this PM/tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 if you look at sat/radar right now you'd think parts of NE are in for some surprise snow later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Very dark and eery sky at home. Rain has started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 To give you a sense of how slowly the cold air is moving, you might find this interesting. The initial cold push came through here at 9:30a.m. (currentlyl sitting at 37.7/36 from a pre-drop temp of 44.6). I just got back up from Northampton. I wasn't paying attention to the truck thermometer until I hit the Shelburne line (about 4 miles from my house). It read 42* there. Looking at the mesomap, all I can say is wow--that's a slow progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEST WINDS 10 TO 15 MPH. CHANCE OF SNOW 60 PERCENT. Well, a bit of a bust to have that come out at 11:00a.m. since westernmost zones were already in the 30's. Looks like any snow will be lackluster.

powderfreak Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 if you look at sat/radar right now you'd think parts of NE are in for some surprise snow later Radar and snow beginning to blossom up here... fresh white on everything and snowing at a good clip down here at 800ft. GFS and Canadian have been hinting at even parts of MA north of the Pike getting in on .1"+ QPF later tonight... I bet a lot of areas see a general 1-3" snowfall tonight, especially the higher terrain, with localized 6" amounts in the upslope favored terrain of the Berks/Greens.

powderfreak Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I know its the RUC, but the 18z brings accumulating snows to parts of CT and western MA tonight: That area of snow out in the BGM region and western NY seems to migrate east this evening and then starts turning NNE through CT and western MA.

cpickett79 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 new radar returns in the long range loop S of SNE (at the latitutue of central jersey) show more of a bending back NNW then earlier returns watching the SPC meso map like a hawk.......we need lower dews to bleed east faster. looks like downstream precip area would penetrate at least as far as ORH then monads then Northern greens . obviously N. greens look like they would capitalize the most. Very potent trough could be some upside suprises. ELevated ORH County i.e Dave / wa wa....really need those lower dewpoints to bleed in from the east faster. I hope someone gets a nice suprise tonite. i am actually excited to watch this play out. http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/radar.php?product=N0Z&rid=BOX&loop=yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Yeah should see precip blossom later tonight..won't be shocked at all for some spots to pick up 1-2 inches I definitely think most of you have at least a shot of measurable snowfall... and like I said, 1-3" wouldn't surprise me in some spots. That thermal gradient is huge and its slowly working its way east... it won't take much to get precipitation to blossom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
