weathafella Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I went out to shovel as the rain started mixing in. That said it seems like the rain line may sink south so we may get 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduggs Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Getting kind of sick of these local underperformers. I know some of you eastern guys got a bit unlucky with some rain tonight... but you don't know how good you've had it. Can't buy an hour of moderate snow this year. I almost forget what heavy snow looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I know you're disappointed and it "seems" to be underperforming but the BOX snow map seems to be just about perfect at the moment. Models hinted at the rain snow line filling in along the coastal plain for a few days now. At least this wasn't the low that was projected to do Buffalo to Portland a few days ago. The boundary layer was tricky business... Well, 4-6" maybe a bit high for this area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 East of 91 or like se mass east? Mainly East of 91 looks like the rain snow collapses down pretty good. The precipitation dies down around 2 Am but than another wave pushes up from the SW and most of central and especially eastern ct into RI and eastern mass get a final band for a few hours more hours as depicted by those models .

eduggs Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 At the base of Mt. Snow-eyeballing it looks like 7 or 8 inches new. Sweet. Must have been some pretty heavy snow considering the duration. I'm not too far away and at a similar elevation... and I'm eyeballing about 2", half of which blew off the roof. I think here in the "Rensselaer Plateau" we got downsloped some off the Catskills. I've seen that a couple times this year. We can get upslope and downslope depending on the low level winds.

eduggs Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 You'll get yours eventually while eastern areas regress. When the pattern relaxes we'll get a strong SE ridge. I just hope we have a few more threats in March to keep some excitement going. Hopefully the extreme cold relaxes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost forget what heavy snow looks like. Isn't that just the nature of the beast of that area for these sorts of events? Had the distinct displeasure of growing up in Clifton Park, and the valley didn't make for fireworks a lot of the time. Still lots of time to get a later season snow, I think the reason those in sene are disproportionately disappointed is that later in the season brings ptype problems and less wiggle room for success. Plus... It's never enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I think the R/S line has hit the wall. Main threat to my totals is the back edge flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah looks like it's waivering, seeing more westerly winds showing up too Hopkington, Framingham, etc. Mix may not make it to Lexington / Woburn, and we flip back I think in few hours What a fugly way to break 100 after a spectacular month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowciopath Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Flipped for less than 15 minutes here in Ashford, now back to snow. 28.9, had 3.7" at 10:15 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduggs Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Are you in downtown or on outskirts...what's your elevation? I recently moved out of the City of Albany... up into the Taconics towards the Mass border, at 1400ft. It's much colder and snowier here than in ALB, which is only about 25 minutes west. But this just hasn't been a good year to take advantage of the elevation around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a snow pack person this rain is just what the doctor ordered on top of a couple inches of snow, its going to freeze up nicely during this next cold spell.

Don't forget, there is a big seasonal transition that takes place midway through March....we no longer need an epic pattern. The wavelengths start to shorten, and it's all about getting a bowling ball positioned well. Frankly, I'd be stunned it this season didn't provide a blue-tinted cement bomb between not and the second week of April, or so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too. I'm just a little worried about a wholescale pattern shift towards a western trof. It has to happen sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like memorable events much more than snowpack. This winter has not had anything memorable locally... not even an impressive arctic snowsquall.

dendrite Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 21.9F -SN Melted core at midnight was 2.9"/0.22". So not bad ratio wise. Salisbury COOP is 0.22" as well so we're both on the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 BOS midnight 99.8 for the season. If we flip back for an hour we do it tomorrow. If not, the next time it snows with measurable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Awesome... was laughing about this earlier. So close but not there. Didn't take my shot: NWS: [boston] Almost 100". 1.1" today brings the seasonal snow-total to 99.8"; still #2, all-time record 107.6" 1995-96, 7.8" to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FRWEATHA Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Got home about half an hour ago. It doesnt seem there is much melting despite the rain. I've seen some mention about a flip back to snow. Is that for this area? Kinda skeptical with temp up to about 36 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENYsnow Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I like memorable events much more than snowpack. This winter has not had anything memorable locally... not even an impressive arctic snowsquall. The heaviest snow I've seen here this year was from a localized mohawk-hudson convergence band, other than that I agree this hasn't been a very memorable winter in these parts.
