OceanStWx Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I think we have some gravity waves emanating out from the convection over eastern Mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Upon closer inspectoin, I will be able to record a "T". I need some coffee. Top gust so far of 24 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Now I'm going to have to face my daughters' disappointment. She had planned a 'midnight snow party' for us last night. She had made invitations, etc. Of course, I wasn't going to wake her--nor myself--for such a thing, but just the same. So nothing fell? The west slopes must have gobbled up the cold and maybe a little moisture. Well I warned Pete I might have been generous....lol. Mangled flakes mixing in now.

CoastalWx Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I wonder if that earlier burst if thunder as evident by the lightning in CT and strong winds down there...esp srn CT and FOK seemed to have been related. Some sort of rapid deepening took place then. Stuff winding down here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did the precip wind don here? My alarm went off a 4:10, by the time I got down here at 4:30, the skies had mostly cleared. Oh--I can record a "T".

dendrite Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Only 0.6" up here. I woke up at 4am to the brief +SN. Back to another 1-2 weeks of boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I went for a brief spin....absolutely nothing below 600 feet. 600 feet was the cutoff. We got 0.9" here on winter hill at over 900 feet but I bet ORH comes in with a trace...or 0.2" because it was sideways snow. And they never measure anything in those type of events. 600 feet was the cutoff when I stopped seeing car tops coated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 After my wife/daughter come down, I'll take a quick drive to 1300' . It's only a mile from the Pit, but it may say something about the impact of elevation in relation to long/lat. Or maybe it won't. Really curious why my anemoemet has stopped reporting. 29.8./25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not lie about such a thing. Initially, I didn't think i"d even be able to record a trace, but there was a little on the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Sounds like it took a flash freeze. That's what I was wondering, but with the strength of the gusts, I thought that was not likely. Too bad though since it is gusty. EDIT: Pretty sure you're right. I just noticed that I was still getting directional reading, just no velocity.

HoarfrostHubb Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Barely an inch here. More like Will's 0.9" Like Blizz, we got one huge thunderclap and it just rolled on and on (1AM ish?) I got up at 3:40 to take a look and it was snowing pretty good. Must have stopped just after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering what might have happened higher up and I guess that answers that question. Should be an interesting ride to work...I go up over 1000' and then down to practically sea level by the CT River. Winds doing pretty good here...temps down to 31 (29 at 1200').
