OceanStWx Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I was wondering the same thing. Looks like the fine folks at gray nws are messin wif our heads. Especially me just south of CON with that 5 mile wide and 50 mile long 4-6 band. This sometimes happens if you don't smooth the snowfall grids enough. The 6 hour blocks likely have a good burst of snow in that area before the changeover, and that's what you are seeing, as the next 6 hour block will be much further NE with the snow. Keep in mind that we are constrained by the scale, so these snow amounts could be 4.1" and it falls into the 4-6" bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Huge flakes falling here and -sn...but it really doesn't matter at all with temps at 34/32 and a wet ground...into the log as a T. 30/29 now w/ moderate snow but as soon as the heavier echoes moved in the snow growth turned to sh*t. .25" down now, roads are slick. Hope to break 1" tonight to add to the totals. Say a lot about the winter when our best sustained snow growth storm was in October... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Sleet line is ripping NE Looks like I missed it coming home...Rn now and 33° here. There was a nice covering at 1000' and still some here. I think there may have been some icing up there too but I couldn't tell. Kevin, what's your temp. down there?

OceanStWx Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's really fun to have these products available now. Melting layer is clearly visible on the 4.3 degree scan (the starting point for derived melting layer products) around 7000 ft. Pretty clearly a sleet sounding, with the warm air that far aloft. You can also see the mid level front advancing north (just northeast of KBOX) where slightly melted ice crystals are starting to reduce the correlatoin coefficient. This is most likely marking the leading edge of sleet (despite being above freezing, there is probably some wet bulb cooling that's compensating), and it's pretty rare to see these areas of refreezing considering how close you need to be to the surface to see it.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's actually been a decent 2 week stretch of winter wx here. A bunch of minor snow events FRZA monday night and SN/PL/FZRA tonight with only one day in the upper 40's the past 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris what is up with the strange new snowfall map? Check a couple posts back, it's basically a smoothing error showing up on a coarser grid.

Snow Bow Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Just by how its going so far it feels like this might be an underperformer here the flakes seem like they have refrozen a bit. Almost like snow pellets with a little flakage around the center. Have about a quarter inch or so as of right now with a temp of 31.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Bow Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Check a couple posts back, it's basically a smoothing error showing up on a coarser grid. What are you thinking for my area up toward mark in Webster. An inch for me with a third inch glaze and maybe two for him with thicker ice accretion or am I being too hopeful?

An inch for me with a third inch glaze and maybe two for him with thicker ice accretion or am I being too hopeful? At this point, I think that's about right. Maybe another inch of snow if we can really thump before the flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
