bch2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 If anyone wants a funny visual, look at the KBOS flightaware... So many flights were circling b/c of heavy snow and now that it has lightened its a total cluster with everyone trying to land on one runway.

N. OF PIKE Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 jay look at any model the period of 21z the lift pushes North and basically goes poofy 7H lift form 18z to 21z pushes north then NE into GOM then poof same with 5H lift but further north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all because we are in the dryslot... Lol. It's why flake size and intensity is decreasing dramatically despite radar appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conclue Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 ALB just getting abused right now...highest reflectivity's in the entire region seem to be moving through the Capital District right now. 35-40dbz raking. And it was epic! I was able to shovel twice in the last hour. Band approached at just around 2pm. I was able to shovel 3 times in the last 1.5 hours, and each time there was more and more snow than the last. (Basically, I keep shoveling as I keep taking smoke breaks to enjoy the snowfall, it's awesome). Definitely some half dollar sized flakes and I experienced that "pouring of snow" that so many have referenced through this storm systems lifespan. So awesome. What's not awesome is having classes cancelled so I didn't go in today, only to have work think they still need you. Who goes out to eat in this?

ROOSTA Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm going to need Alex (next town over) to confirm what has been experienced the last few hours. BURIED. I have Ice stalactites from eaves to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlantStickers Anonymous Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Went sleet for a little bit in salem but getting back to heavy at times windswept snow There are already a lot of downed branches on Lafayette street, trees and lines are caked in snow, swaying with every breeze and when it falls on the car it plops, soaked, I think when we go back to rain and winds cranks there are going to be serious power issues on the north shore. Roads are a disaster so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Also, re the g-wave suspicions earlier. They happen at all scales, large and small, but on the synoptic scale, it would appear plausible that the southerly parallel axis, where the rather upright isentropic lift resulted, may very well have necessitated a counterbalancing negative node on the immediate polarward side. I trapped this image from earlier this afternoon, shortly after folks reported suspicious wind accelerations, so as to annotate this discussion. Notice that there is then a counter-balancing axis of lift to the negative node yet farther N. These are restoring forces working in a static gravitational medium, such that it emerges an "elasticity" to the atmosphere. Fascinating to see this displayed so vividly on radar...

VTweather Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Here North of Brattleboro VT I have 6 inches which the heated rain gauge shows .40 " rain. Should be measuring pretty well as there isnt much wind. That gives us 15 to 1 ratio. Pretty dry snow. I can testify to that having just blown the driveway. Still cold here too at 24. see WWW.havenfarm.com for webcam.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
