Pattern change on our doorstep - will it deliver the goods? General Discussion/ banter

[Typhoon Tip]

Tip said icestorm?

[Mr Torchey]

Nasty out

[moneypitmike]

Raining fairly steadily here.  Not sure how much freezing will be occuring with a moderate rate and relativley warm 30.5.  Heading out on the 45 minute ride to Target--hot times in the big city of Hadley.

 

30.5/27

[CoastalWx]

Yeah I guess even a little bit of ZR warrants it, but I'm not sure how many people are going to see it at all in the advisory area. I'm not convinced I see any.

 

 

i thought so at first but our DPs are 25 out here and it's already 36 at my place in Ayer.   WB is probably like 31.9 - ha

 

We had a cold overnight and "cap" day so we don't have much room to keep the streets/walkways liquid if that's reached.  

 

Yeah I mean maybe the interior wetbulbs? Was just a little surprised. Perhaps MPM is most deserving.

that dp will help with that...  30.5/27 will freeze more proficiently than 30.5/30.5 with some accretion loss due to evaporation -

certainly not much of a snow eater night by any stretch...

 

speaking of stretches - you know, 8 days ago we were staring down the barrel of a week's worth of thawing, and meh -    ...what?  one day now - maybe, 30 hours?

[moneypitmike]

Just got to my car---nicely encased in lce. Really neat design on the wundshield. Better take it slow.

[Allsnow]

Dt going very cold and dry in his latest blog.

Shhh I was laughed at and cajoled for saying that, thank god for the Pros saying this though. I am impressed down here in SECT at work there are still some pretty substantial patches of snow left. Taken right before dark with sleet falling today. Yea substantially above normal but in reality above normal during this time of year with snow cover is NBD. If the sun comes out this weekend its see ya later for this patch but those with 6-8 of concrete are going to make it through .

Hope you're right but 30 hours of temps and dews above 45 are going suck it away to nothing

[weathafella]

Here's the deal. We've basically had no pad for 2 weeks. Highly unusual and bound to end. Even with the trifling fropa stuff, odds of dry week after week are very low.

[dendrite]

40s dews are going to do a number on any snow left Sun/Mon AM.

Not seeing the 6-8s wiped out unless the Sun or heavy rain happens

Have you locked in the 18z DGEX for early next week yet?

[Ginx snewx]

Nobody extrapolated the 18Z Nam?

[ace0927]

It's tough to see yours. Irish FTL??

Hall pass!

[Sugarloaf1989]

It's overcast and 32.5F here. Solid snowcover remains here, but it should go fast with rain/fog and temps remaining above freezing for the next 72 hours or so.

Expect the opposite

[Ginx snewx]

Serious question did ORH relocate its ASOS site in the last 30 years?

[Quincy]

Surprised no one (Blizz) has mentioned the 18z DGEX yet. Looks very wintry with the wave before arctic air dives in Thursday night.

I mentioned it a bit ago, but it was only for weenie fodder.

Do people actually look at the DGEX? 

[Ginx snewx]

I think Forky is a closet icepuddy. He is posting more and more when actual cold air is coming. Would be a good time to organize another LES chase for those who rarely see snow.

Yeah this view is going to look a bit different by Monday me thinks... still have a pretty solid 10.5" here on the valley floor at 750ft (out by the fields on the right side of photo) but that's going to go quickly Sun/Mon.

Yea but you have fluff, folks like Will have solid cement.

IIRC this happened around 1947 (previous location was downtown ~500' asl)

 

will would def know

I'm sure it isn't pure fluff anymore, but even if it isn't glacial yet that 10" will probably still be equivalent to a 6" concrete.

Thanks, another question would be, has the area around it changed, IE more asphalt, closer runway, etc.

[H2Otown_WX]

18z GFS looking pretty damn good in the LR.

[Mr Torchey]

Its more than depressing as yet another mid winter night in southern new england brings rain.  Next week cant come soon enough
