moneypitmike Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Snow's now picked up to moderate--really big flakes ftw. Hopefully they can pile up quickly before whatever changes are in store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Looks like about 1.6-1.7" of white sand out there now with a mix of pellets and parachutes. If only this storm had been slightly colder in the midlevels, it would have been a decent hit. Low levels have been fine here for the duration of the event so far, still at 32.5° F although it is slowly creeping upward. There was a burst of +SN from just after 2 AM to 3 AM that produced most of what's on the ground now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Never understand how my daughter gets out of bed all on her own between 6:00-6:30 on weekends and snowdays Yet, when she has schol, it's like pulling teeth to wake her at 7:00. Cse in pint today......quiet time over. Flakes quality more impressive than rate. Wind-whipped flakes at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Dual pol says snow trying to work south into extreme N CT, like Union area and Woodstock/Thompson. Looks like we'll end up with the big T for the event. I wish I could check on my sap tanks at the1200' site in Union this morning but I have a meeting in town preventing me from doing that. It's only about1-2 miles south of border and almost twice as high as me so I wonder if they had measurable. Might have been the only spot in NE CT!

wx2fish Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Figures POS NAM decided to get something right. Figures it busts the wrong way the only time its right this year. Atleast I wasn't overly excited about this in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I was thinking that as part of the post-winter grading where we each give our A-F grade of the winter's in our respective backyards, we also look at the models. At this point, I'm giving modeling as a whole a D. The EC managed the best in the class with a C+ overall and you can work your way down from there. If you grade on a curve, sure move the EC to the top. But let not it's fantastic run with the blizzard overshadow the ather instances it was not so stellar (and I'm not referring to today which is just and epic fail). Meanwhile, SN+, huge goose feathers. 31.2/31 Hope I can hold on a while before the changeover. Edit: these flakes are just piling up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Of course the NAM decides to get this right perfectly, and it's the one time we want it wrong Oh well, good news is that it's snowing hard at Whiteface, and ski country should do well with tis, since what fun is suno if you can't enjoy it! Good luck to all those who are getting snow! For me, on to the next one! (early march?) -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radarman Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Berkshire East closed. Just as I was about to head out there. Local radar showing definite orographic effects overhead with the east wind. To say Amherst is a snow hole is not rhetoric, it's descriptive. Although in this case it's a rain hole.

moneypitmike Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 These are some ridiculous looking aggregates coming down. Half-dolla sized and ibgger, lol. I think I've picked up about an inch in the last 1/2 hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I can't say the Euro has been all that bad out here. It pretty well naiuled the oro effects and even showed the thermal gradient which has borne out with all snow so far in the elevated areas from the Catskills north to here. Meanwhile the 6Z NAM has the 0C 850 line in the central Adirondacks at 12Z. <2 or I'd take him to Reins next time I'm driving though.....I should have stuck to my guns.Nam ftw. Euro laid an egg it sees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Getting a parachute, goose feather fest right now. Even though I typically downslope on easterly flow, the strong easterly LLJ is allowing for some spillover just west of the Berkshire crest. In other words, the snowflakes that are being generated in the clouds are being advected west and are reaching the ground a bit further west than what radar would suggest. Cool stuff. I've seen this happen in NW flow upslope, but not in easterly. Despite the bust, this is an interesting storm meteorologically. About 2" now.

moneypitmike Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Flakes have gont to more pedestiran. Still some aggregates mixing in wiht the more mundane, moderate.

Overall model grade to date: D- Overall Winter weather season grade to date: C....and that is only due to the blizzard. March can still bring the grade down to a D.
