simpsonsbuff Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 One thing I'm noticing is Springfield, VT is getting better viz... despite what seems like heavy echoes. That cannot be good for snow growth and other things. Meanwhile KLEB also had its viz go up. If they don't pile up now, they don't stand a chance in heck. It should be sleeting there within the next 3 hours. I should have stayed with my earlier darn 3.5-7... but bumped to 4.5-9... stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpsonsbuff Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 +FZRA here now at 31.3F. It may edge above freezing in another hour if this very slow rise continues. I just had to go out in it for a second time and throw hot water on my dish to get the internet working again. That's always fun. I actually had a very nasty thumb injury re: cleaning off the dish. Back on 10/29, the dish was getting snow covered (here in the nw bronx). The problem is that the dish is up a good 25 feet. I need a ladder and an extended broom. First two times, I had no problem. Third time, I wasn't wearing gloves, and my nerves were thrown off. I open the ladder, and, in one of the place it extends, it went right over my thumb and ripped a pretty good piece of skin off. Just finishing healing now. I was stupid and paid the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpsonsbuff Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 http://wc2.dartmouth.edu/view/index.shtml Granted, it looks pretty healthy on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Snowing steadily, not sure how much is out there but looks like a couple inches so far. Snow growth doesn't look all that good (can't be doing better than 10:1 with these flakes) out the window, but that's to be expected being just north of the best forcing and warm temps in the snow growth zone. Its all white out there, its quiet, and it smells like snow... 28F In an interesting twist, the western slopes down to BTV area is warming up very quickly with ESE downsloping winds. BTV up to 33F this hour now. Intellicast radar is picking up on that warming... I'm not sure if they are actually raining on the other side if the spine but its interesting to note that do to downsloping that western side has gone to 32-34F. Check out the temps here at O'Dark-Thirty and see that those west slope communities (some of which are up at 1,000ft or so, most are over 500ft at least) are now sneaking above freezing with the compressional warming, while further away from the terrain out near the lakeshore is still 29-31F.

powderfreak Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 http://wc2.dartmouth...iew/index.shtml Granted, it looks pretty healthy on there. Yeah those flakes look a lot better than what we've got up here... its steady baking powder but not much loft at all in these flakes. That looks fairly impressive.

Arnold214 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Pouring snow out there right now. Pic doesn't do it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 32.2F and ripping. Looks like a few inches to my barely awaken eyes. The sleet appears close already based on radar reflectivities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 7" in Sunapee with a few pingers now. Pingers just to my south and west. I'd imagine within the hour I'm toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Let me know. I guess I underestimated the amount. Roughly 5", but I'll do an exact measurement with water equiv in a few since the snow began at 11pm.Still ripping all snow at 32.2F. I saw a bright, purple flash in the sky when I went out, but I heard no thunder. I must be losing it. I see nothing even remotely close on the Vaisala lightning explorer.

dendrite Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 5.2" with 0.64" w.e....still all snow as of 5 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Eyeballing about 3" overnight, though it's hard to tell. Currently a mixed bag so things are getting compressed. Nice to wake up to the sound of a plow:) Expecting the district to be closed today, especially since it's a half day anyway. 32.1/31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Still all snow and no signs of sleet. The flakes aren't even mangled yet. Looks like radar "smoothed" out a bit echo wise. There were a few shotgun blasts from breaking limbs though. This is a much denser snow than Halloween. About a 1/2" on the cleared board so we're getting ~1"/hr rates. Still 32.2F.

MaineJayhawk Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Had 2.8" on the ground when I left home at 4:45. Moderate snow until I hit Buxton, where it turned to rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 It's kind of funny that we got more snow than what had been forecasted in the WWA, and it looks like there no longer is a WWA. Perhaps it was just not wide-spread enough.... Mixed bag continuing. 32.1/31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Getting occasional large aggregates indicating the changeover is near. The latest radar image out of GYX confirms the next big push of brightbanded echoes northward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Just dumping at the ski resort... wow. Had only 3.5" at 4:45am in town, but there's definitely some enhancement going on up here. Just pouring flakes. 6" as of 5:45am at 1,500ft... up 1" in the last 45 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Congrats on the surprise snow, Mike! THanks--I am surprised, especially since I had rn/sn right at the start. That's how it was when I went to bed at 9:30, so I guess we must have snowed pretty good there for a few hours. Eight more minutes until the moment of truth when my daughter will/willnot get the call that's music to kids ears--whether school's cancelled. When I was a kid, you'd find out on the radio--TV as not wide-spread enough to have announcements. In New London, CT those days couldn't have been very frequent. Of course, I guess I didn't really realize how bad they were until I recognized that we were about the worst place in New England for snow.

dendrite Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Canterbury RWIS a few miles to my south is quickly up in vis so I assume they're mixing. Still moderate snow here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 flakes are getting larger and I choose to interpret that as better snow growth rather than an approaching changeover...lol. Haven't measured but at least 4 inches of cement. If you are already close to 6 then I am probably over 5. I thinking I am 8-10 miles wsw of Brian and the snow is increasing in the last few minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Congrats on the surprise snow, Mike! AIT lol How are things in PWM? (Isn't that where your office is?) I have Channell 22 on and they just reported that "every inch of western MA is raining". Apparently they haven't asked about my inches......

Scooter wondered last night if the immediate Portland area would be toaster&tub worthy and it is. Changeover line is in Buxton, about 15 miles inland.
