PWMan Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 20F and a winter wonderland.... here in Omaha, where I am for work. Good luck to all back east, especially the ski areas; I'm hoping to return to a coating of slush at PWM tomorrow night.....,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Snow and 33. It flipped to snow around 7:45 PM.... Wind advisory up, flood watch up, possible thunderstorms later, should be a wild ride later!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Awesome report. It should start to pound soon. We are now snowing at 950-1,000ft in Stowe. Very wet -SN but snow. Accumulations will be painfully slow with the wet, warm ground until we get that burst of heavier precip around midnight-4am. It always seems to take a while when the ground is soaking wet to get that inital coating down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Just drove up to the ski resort base at 1,500-1,600ft and its snowing pretty good up there. Snow level was at the base of the Mansfield Toll Road at 1,300ft That’s great to hear PF; the snow should be to you before long. I’ll be up late working this evening so I’ll try to send in some hourly observations and I’ll do a snow/water analysis at midnight if there’s anything to report. 8:00 P.M. observations: it’s been snowing for an hour, but with the warm temperatures down at this elevation it hasn’t really been accumulating. Currently on the snowboard we’ve got a very slushy accumulation of mostly liquid, maybe a tenth of an inch, but the temperature has dropped (perhaps with aid from the snowfall) to 34.0 F and the flakes are getting bigger (some up to the 6-7mm diameter range) so that may help in terms of accumulations going forward.

Out of curiousity, how much liquid has fallen before snow begins accumulating? I'd be curious for a QPF analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, unless they moved PWM to around Sebago I don't think you'll be seeing any frozen stuff on the ground. Enjoy Omaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctsnowstorm628 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Wet snow and rain mix here in NE VT...turned over at about 830. 2 hours earlier than progged by BTV... Currently 33.5/33.5 and only wasted 0.08" qpf on rain, so this should be decent for up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkO Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I've been watchign the Killington Webcam and although it's likely been snowing there for at least an hour, it's starting to accumulate. Elevation obviously playign a role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 still toasty here (Storrs). 49.2 F Even at home they're stuck at 48 It's 44 just 10 miles to your north....42 in Union. Still, we both have rain so we're splitting hairs....I still think we'll see something as this pulls out of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Snowing pretty good right now... flake size is massive. Aggregates the size and mass of small pinecones. And we've cooled to 32F. This band is finally putting down some accums as the cars, mulch, and grass are whitening up. Each clump of aggregates is like a couple tenths of accumulation when it lands on a level surface, haha. J.Spin should be in this band with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 9:00 P.M. Waterbury update: Not too much changed for the bulk of the past hour – snowfall was fairly light in intensity and flakes were similar in size to my previous report with some up above that 5 mm diameter range. Temperature is down at touch as of 9:00 P.M. to 33.8 F. It looks like some sort of switch flipped just a bit ago though, because the snowfall intensity has really ramped up to a consistent moderate level, and some of the flakes are really big at up to an inch in diameter. Accumulation on the snowboard is up to 0.2”, but if this current snowfall keeps up the way it is going right now there will definitely be some more appreciable accumulation on the way. Actually now that I look at the BTV composite radar I can see that that area of yellow echoes just nosed into our area and is presumably associated with the increased snowfall intensity: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 J.Spin should be in this band with me. Hehe, yep, just posted on that in my 9:00 P.M. observations - I didn't check what had been posted first, but I figured you would be right on top of that one!

ctsnowstorm628 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 32.9 at 1,100 ft with light to moderate snow. slushy accumulation on cars and colder surfaces, nothing on grass or pavement yet. Evap cooling doing a good job now, though so it won't be long before we are down below 32 ...looks like the freezing level is around 1400' in the NEK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Temperature is starting to fall at a faster rate now. 38.1F down .5F in past 20 minutes. Northern NH must be changing over now as snow line is getting close to NW Grafton County i would guess if Peacham VT has gone over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsnowstorm628 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Interesting observation here as of 930pm: Temp at 800' in St. J is 33.0 Temp at 1,100' here s now 32.6 Temp at 1,400' in Glover, VT is 31.8 Temp at 2,230' in Walden, VT is down to 30.4 Newport, VT at 745' is still 34.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
