CoastalWx Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Its 3 minutes to 12z here and still ripping all snow...pure flakes. The aggregates we had before have turned into normal dendrites. Over 2" now. Not sure how much longer this will last as the snow line has to be near or north of the pike now. Nice, for once it wasn't a toaster bath. Looks like globals got it right. Don't know what the NAM and SREFs smoked yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Don't know how that batch in NJ will shape up as it heads north, but this radar is looking pretty ragged. So, after things do mix/change, we may find we had most of the qpf from the system of the frozen variety. Given some of the possibilities (ahem, NAM), played out pretty well for a minor event.

CoastalWx Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Looks like that good burst of lift helped keeping things all snow for some areas. Here comes the disorganized crap. That should help the warm air aloft move north more quickly, as we lose the good lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NECT Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 34.5 and rain Although some slush on the windshield of the car, so at least it started out wintery About 1.5" of slush here. Only liquid falling now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 The big story here is the wind right now. Several wind gusts in the past hour have been well into the 20s and low 30s. In looking at the mesoscale map it looks like we'll be dealing with this for several hours: http://www.spc.ncep.noaa.gov/sfctest/new/viewsector.php?sector=16# You can see the wind gusts on the mesonet map (in red): http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/gmap.php?zoom=8&extents=40.347948,-74.047363,43.77506,-69.488037&density=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericnh Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 the battle is on winds now have switched from the ease to north east which is huge because even though I live about 30 miles from the coast with an east wind it has an influence from the ocean warming us now that it is northeast brings down the colder air. could be why the rain snow line keeps going north and south over nashua and atkinson NH. im In Manchester temp 33 with snow just over an inch of snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 About 1.5" of slush here. Only liquid falling now. It was ripping around 0300....it was good to see it, that's for sure. The wind seems to be the big issue for us now. Hopefully it doesn't lead to more power outages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Miser Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 About 1.5" of slush here. Only liquid falling now. Hopefully there will be a bit of left over slush by the time i get up to south woodstock later this morning. At least through the internet and encyclopedia's I can still see what snow looks like.

dendrite Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 That is great Will! enjoy! Interesting that I have 2 inches or maybe a bit more up here...since you've been all snow I assumed you'd be ahead of me. We may be getting a little bit more lift with the CAD thermal gradient near our area. You can almost see bands redevelop around CON on radar.

It was snowing here around then, but barely anything...my precip sensor (heated leaf wetness) was only reading 1 to 2 which basically means weenie snow showers. The legit stuff came in here at 430am (max readings of 15). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
