radarman Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Nearly 4.5" in South Amherst. Factoring in the compression I'm sure it's that much. Snowball snow. Newly formed band overhead as well... still coming down lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 2.2 even here. Total in W Chesterfield ? meso models showing lots of squalls in the next couple of days, should be fun in the Berks as well as other areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Here's the smoking gun for today's mesolow/convection S+ in NW CT. Here's the 3-hour NAM BUFKIT sounding valid at 15z today. Lapse rates nearly 8c/km from 600-800mb and saturated right through the snow growth zone. Vigorous upright convection favored. Why this developed into a mesolow (almost an MCV) I don't know. That brought this from a 3"-6" kinda deal into a 6"-10" kind of deal with some enhanced lift thanks to a frontogenetical circulation on the northwest side. Wow. Thats a great image...you'll very often get "surprises" when you have that type of lapse rate, saturated snow growth region and a just any form of lift to get the ball rolling in that unstable column. The snow growth was spectacular today...even with the aggregates, you could see that they were well formed dendrites clumped together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sucks is that the soundings looked similar overhead here earlier today and we barely managed a trace but just like summer convection even if you have all the ingredients the actual coverage can be a bit limited!

What sucks is that the soundings looked similar overhead here earlier today and we barely managed a trace but just like summer convection even if you have all the ingredients the actual coverage can be a bit limited! Yeah that is the toughest thing about instability troughs...you cant pinpoint exactly where the jackpots and screwzones are. Sometimes you can get a rough outline near the heart of it (like today it looked decent for C/E MA, SE NH)...but on the periphery it can be a total crapshoot. I wonder if the terrain helped in NW CT. Sometimes that is all it takes. A little light upslope flow to get the dominos to start dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 your pic wins pic of the day Just a slight windshift to N and it came in like a curtain. You could look to the NW and see the bright white sky as it was moving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes that is all it takes. A little light upslope flow to get the dominos to start dropping. I don't think it was terrain/upslope - it seems like it was the fact that the convection held in tact from PA and NJ and never fizzled. In fact it strengthened a bit thanks to some better moisture transport closer to the ocean? Models had the convection falling apart and all the lift going nuts over eastern areas. Some decent totals in NJ/SE NY... plus all the thunder reports near NYC and 1/2" hail in C NJ lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Ended with 5.2". Initial snow gave 3.5" but light snow after from 3pm-9pm gradually piled up almost another 2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
