CCPSUSuperstorm2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Nevermind, just 2 hour delay on the outer cape. Snow is about to reach the area again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 I don't see the snow really backing in on radar, it looks as if it will be mostly limited to some lighter accumulations on the Cape. There is a good band near Maine but it looks like some subsidence is really preventing it from moving southwest. On the overall track, I went with this being mostly an offshore storm/grazer...that's what it was for the most part although a few people on the Cape got legitimate totals and some light snow extended up to BOS and suburbs. Definitely a much more realistic track prediction than the SNE HECS and I-95 HECS the ECM showed on the 0z/12z sequence. The Cape got heavy snow and the shield extended up to MASSACHUSETTS ...BARNSTABLE COUNTY...

CCPSUSuperstorm2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 It is snowing here so I think we got rid of the dry air in the boundary layer. Moderate to maybe heavy snow coming in from the northeast. Maybe a change to rain eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCPSUSuperstorm2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Storm is now moving away to the southeast. Visible satellite imagery of this storm is going to look awesome this morning. Can almost see the wrap around warm air advection as the cooling cloud tops north of the center of circulation. This should bring in warmer air.

Tropopause_Fold Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 nice mood light snows still falling here. wind continues to rip from the NNW...house shaking gusts at times despite the actual obs. coming down some. no additional acc. overnight. 10". definitely some drifting overnight. will get out and get some pics today.

CCPSUSuperstorm2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I would say 11-12" of snow conservatively, Harwich, MA public schools have two hour delay. Possibly some moderate snows later this morning before it changes to rain. GFS shows all snow for the weekend storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropopause_Fold Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 /nzucker/ snow cant fall on the Cape because of too warm temps, and snow cant fall in BOS because it isn't snowing at Dobbs Ferry /nzucker/ tubes is suffering from a lat/lon induced case of "if i can't get snow...no one else is allowed to" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 moderate snow in Blackstone with that band. Looks like a little less than an inch overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I mean there are reasons you wouldn't get huge QPF here....not a STJ storm and the westerly flow behind the other Atlantic low. HM explained in way better detail. But I still think a 970mb low passing from NJ to LI is going to put down more than .75-1" here, that is really a joke. Oh yeah, I totally busted on the Cape where I thought the warm temperatures and NE winds would make it hard to get a big snowstorm, but I'm really glad I played this storm conservatively overall. This basically turned into a non-event outside of a tiny area although just by a scrape...there was sort of a hint for a while the ridge axis would be offshore though and the PV phase early always seemed like a fragile connection. I'm always happy when I beat the ECM 3-4 days out anyway even if I don't understand MVY climo very well. I definitely hand it to you and Dendrite for knowing the ins and outs of how the area does, though, bad call on my part to go so conservative for SE MA. You should be in politics....

Nice call by the way on this system. I think a few of us had the general idea down but did not expect the over performing snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kulaginman Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Only about 0.2" of additional accumulation in Norwood overnight, bringing my event total to 2.2 inches. Drove in and out of some snowbands on my way into work in Canton this morning, and the snow growth does appear to be better than last night with larger flakes....but the intensity is very light at the moment.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 This was a much larger storm than ANY of us thought, let's face it. It doubled what I expected. I figured maybe someone out by Chatham could get 10" but didn't really believe it would happen because of temps. I'll take a photo in a few minutes 8 hours after the snow. It's ASTOUNDING how much that powder compacted overnight. I'm going to measure snow depth now, I'm betting it averages 9-10 now when last night there were several spots near 12" in the mix that I discarded. I bet 2" across the board is gone. Sun is out too which isn't helping. Great storm though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
