ORH_wxman Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 LOL..we aren't going above freezing here. icing al day till flip back to snow You'll slowly rise because there's no dewpoint feed. You get a latent heat release until the death obs of 32.1F and rain. Not that there's a lot of qpf anyway. But it will rise above freezing I'm pretty sure.

One thing which is unique to this is the low dews Still a 28 dew. But this is what we get excited about in a winter with no coastals and sheared out messes..so it's all we've got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is what we get excited about in a winter with no coastals and sheared out messes..so it's all we've got It will still rise...you need a dewpoint feed, not just a low starting dewpoint. A lower starting dewpoint might delay the rise just a bit but in the end, if you don't have a low dewpoint feed, the ice will self-destruct due to latent heat relase. Also the diurnal timing isn't helping either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Screw the meltdowns in E MA...if they don't want to be in this thread, nobody is forcing them to be here. That's the beauty of a storm thread just for this specific event. Talk away. I wouldn't consider 2" an under-achiever there though. That's probably about on par with what I expected in that Rt 2 region in NW MA...maybe 3". Can really b*tch too much in W MA after Friday and today. Not the best winter but legit snow pack otg now. Today will have me close to 19" ytd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Just freezing rain now. Sleet was pretty brief. It looks like the taint line has now cleared Pittsfield and is heading into northern Berkshire. It shows up real clearly on dual pol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH after this morning's few tenths is around 14" for the season which is now building into a double digit anomaly. It should be getting over 2 feet now for the season in an average winter to this date. But at least the ground had a decent pack of 2-3"...got into BOS and it's just patches...though the Charles was frozen solid...only took this past week of cold to do it.

Professional Lurker Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I was being sarcastic. ...kinda. Yeah, I bet we taint for a little while here, unfortunately. If mitch is rain, that doesn't bode well. Bet it mixes to Bratt at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm 1/3 of the way there. Behind but not horrible. Of course w/o the T-Day tree massacre we would be way behind. Over to IP as I type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing frozen. 34F. Good call on closing school today. Teachers and kids will look back and definitely be happy about the extra day come June.

Cold Miser Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Especially when it's 94/72. Although if Kevin's kids are anything like him, they will love being at school during high temps and awesomely high dews (as long as there's a.c. and no reason to be outside). School closings are a win for everyone in his house in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxjim207 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 You know with really only 2 synoptic systems this winter we have been nickle and dime-ing snowfall this season. In SNE I would go with nickles and pennies. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
