ctsnowstorm628 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 As we prepare for the bigger event on 12/28, many in SNE have a shot a some light snow on Christmas morning. How will it play out, you ask? Looks like a widespread coating to 2"...perfect for Christmas morning. Discuss nowcast/obs here. 36/26 here under partly to mostly cloudy skies.

ctsnowstorm628 Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 32/27 here in westbrook. Cloudy. Temps have risen from 30 at 6pm. Snow should start soon and we should wet bulb back to ~30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I'm uneasy on this one. I'm cold enough, 31.5 here. Colder than I expected. But we'll see what happens with this precip. Could go either way, flurries/sprinkles to accumulating snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I bet you slowly rise before precip onset, similar to what happened here. The first pulse will likely be snow overnight, not much of anything. The second pulse that forms north of the developing low looks to get me pretty good but temps aren't close, NAM has me near 40. So the areas that maximize QPF from that second band in the morning are mostly rain down this way. Somewhere over by Sultan or Bob there's going to be a changeover line that may pay better but we'll see. I expect very little here (no accumulation at all), maybe some falling snow.

moneypitmike Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 26.2/18 here at the Pit. ZFP is calling for up to an inch tonight and total of 1-3. I'll go for the under. Good luck, everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 27/18. Hoping Santa doesn't bring a virga show to these parts for Christmas. Ho, ho, no! There's going to be some dry air to fight up this way. I'm still looking for 1". Would be our fourth 1" thrashing of the month. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Upstairs it's not even close, it's plenty cold. But the lower atmosphere ends up too warm per the NAM. Suspicious only because it does form a nice band towards dawn that runs up over us for several hours. IF it was ever some serious banding it would flip in that too snow. That's my hope...but sadly I expect frustration. Based on the NAM it'll take an Xmas miracle for falling snow here at dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone outside of the islands will see flakes at least. I've been skeptical of any coastal accums from the beginning so we will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 NAM is still pretty weak overall. A little better than 18z though..esp for CT. No real surprises it looks like for this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully overdone and you stay no higher than mid 30's. Possible you get some ripping bands in the morning that get the job done wet bulbing.

Possible you get some ripping bands in the morning that get the job done wet bulbing. There's going to be a band of .25" plus right around me somewhere. NAM has me on the edge of it. It's plenty cold aloft, but it torches the BL in advance of the precip. It has all along. Hard to argue with it. Will just have to wait and see.

teebrdsfan Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I'll be happy with gently falling flakes, hoping for a dusting in SRN NH. I've had like 1 white Christmas in my life so I'll take pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattb65 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 About a half inch so far in ridgewood, NJ, north of NY. Steady light snow magical on Christmas eve. Hope it works out for everyone in SNE. I have faith that the new stream will deliver if the southern one doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
