wxsniss Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I wonder if Kevin can pick up a quick inch of snow from that stuff...it should be snow there for at least the next hour or two...but hard to say without any obs from there.

weatherwiz Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 It definitely has to be snowing at higher elevations in CT...I'm like about 50' and the rain coming down kind of looks like freshly melted snowfalkes..kind of big drops...hard to explain but I hate my 50' elevation.

You probably have "catpaws" as they are often referred to...rain drops with an ice nucleus that hasn't completely melted yet as it falls through the warmer lower few hundred feet of the atmosphere. Temps in in the hills to your northeast are in the 33-34F range with even probably near freezing in Union...so I'm sure its starting as snow there.

Watching the precip try to advance in Windham County CT is like watching paint dry...I probably wont see snow for another 45 minutes at least. The good news is the RUC cooled off considerably on its 06z run and has an easy snow sounding at 09z which means we should probably be safe until 5am...hopefully its a bit later than that. But at the very least, I'd like to see if we can rip for 2-3 hours in this band coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 sometimes i use the composite radar to pick up on the leading edge of precip a bit better and it shows a solid wall moving into s. worcester (city) light stuff but either way that band finally looks like it's making progess (even on base ) and better it shouldn't take that long to get the heavy stuff over you.

Its virga I'm pretty sure...if you zoon into BOX local radar you can see where its reaching...its possible I see some weenie flakes if the leading edge of virga starts to intensify a bit, but its probably going to be until at least 2:45-3am until the good stuff gets over here...but I'll gladly take sooner.

N.

How much of the leading edge do you think is virga? When I looked at the radar then looked outside I was actually quite shocked to already see the ground fairly wet (it had to be precipitating out for at least a few minutes) and there was a mix of rain/flakes/a few sleet pings.

ORH_wxman Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Its good to see several of the stations start turning the winds more NE...PWM actually turned almost due north and dropped from 32 to 29 and the dewpoint dropped to 19....so hopefully this can start getting advected southward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
