HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 2.0" here now An inch an hour the last hour 19.4/18 Few pellets mixing in here so the end is near. Too bad because the dog walk was awesome, wish we could have sustained. Good call by NWS to lower their totals this afternoon. Mid levels torched quickly surface not so much 22/18. Probably 1.5" or so new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backedgeapproaching Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Still holding on to -SN. Only 1" down Think albany is mixing, so it's close. 23° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connecticut Appleman Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Snowing quite nicely - little to no sleet mixing in right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Windcredible! Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Nah the warming is way upstairs. LIS isn't making any difference. That crossed my mind, now I feel kind of silly for sharing it on my blog. Any thoughts on what impeded the progress then across LIS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmj16725 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I have a rather neat situation going on here, I have sleet, but mixed in is very fine/tiny/dusty looking snow, which is obscuring the visibility. When I look out, I think it's just snowing, but when I went out, I have good sized sleet pellets mixed in, but alot of that snow I just described above. I haven't seen that before. Just got back from a couple of hours of skiing at Mount Southington ( no one the hill and conditions were great) and observed the same thing for the past 1/2 hour - you usually see the snow/parachutes/sleet transition - but there are definitely fine crystals mixing with the sleet. About 1.5" down here with a temp of 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 We had some graupel a little while ago...dippin' dots mixed with big aggregates. Appears to be back to all flakes now. Still big aggregates mixed with like pixie dust flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Valley Snowman Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 That crossed my mind, now I feel kind of silly for sharing it on my blog. Any thoughts on what impeded the progress then across LIS? I'm not a meteorologist but the high pressure system was moving offshore to the south of New England so I believe your area would have been closer to the high pressure and therefore possibly a deeper layer of colder air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolri_wx Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 That crossed my mind, now I feel kind of silly for sharing it on my blog. Any thoughts on what impeded the progress then across LIS?

bristolri_wx Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Light to moderate here - 30º. About 1.5" on the ground. Temp was 26º when it started snowing, so its been on a slow rise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Dynamic cooling in heavier bands of precipitation? Just seems odd that it would perfectly straddle LIS like that. This is the image I shared on my blog: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 There is quite a bit of snow mixed in with this stuff. You flip on the floodlight and it's about 50/50. I wonder if it could be heavily rimed flakes and sleet?whatever it is , it's accumulating fairly well. This is going to a beast to shovel and plow Pretty much what is going on here right now. Super fine flakes with some pl mixed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 This is like 1.5 per hour snow rates. Not sure how long we can wash the sleet out but this is pretty damn cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 It probably was a narrow warm tongue that got washed out when the better lift moved in. That can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
