Mr. Windcredible! Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Heaviest snow of the event. Last hurrah? Intensity picking up a bit more here as well...this does look to be the last push of accumulating snow between now at 2-2:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Steady light Currier and Burl Ives snow covering up the plow banks, which are huge thanks to the wet snows of this week. Garth you are welcome to come for a swim, oh wait. New England looks best in deep deep winter. http://s1103.photobucket.com/user/steveginx/media/Mobile%20Uploads/0305151217.jpg.html"] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Oops... &&.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...1015 AM UPDATE...UPDATED THE SNOWFALL FORECAST TO UP THE SNOWAMOUNTS WITHIN A STRONGER BAND THAT SET UP BASICALLY ALONG THE 195CORRIDOR BETWEEN PROVIDENCE AND THE CAPE. THIS MAY ALLOW THIS AREATO GET CLOSE TO OR POSSIBLY EVEN REACH 3 INCHES JUST NORTH OF THEADVISORY AREA...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IS LOW THAT THIS WILL OCCUR ORTHAT THE AREA WILL BE LARGE ENOUGH TO WARRANT ADDING ZONES TO THEWINTER WEATHER ADVISORY. WILL KEEP HEADLINES AS THEY ARE.THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE SNOW IS VERY TIGHT DESPITE RADARREFLECTIVITIES. DEWPOINTS HAVE ALREADY CRASHED INTO THE SINGLEDIGITS ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. THE NORTHERN EDGE OFTHE SNOW BASED ON OBSERVATIONS RUNS ROUGHLY FROM WILLIMANTICCONNECTICUT...TO PROVIDENCE RHODE ISLAND AND PLYMOUTHMASSACHUSETTS.OTHERWISE...UPDATED TEMPERATURES AS WELL TO ACCOUNT BETTER FORTHE FALLING TEMPERATURES.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...TOUGH FORECAST BECAUSE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A VERY MOISTCONTINUOUS FEED FROM THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO TO NEW ENGLAND.THUS...THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD CONTINUE FOR MUCH OF THE DAYTODAY ALONG THE SOUTH COAST OF RI AND MA. HOWEVER...FARTHER TO THENORTH WHERE THE DRIER AIR IS MOVING IN...IT NOW LOOKS LIKEBOSTON...WORCESTER..AND SPRINGFIELD MAY NOT RECEIVE ANY SNOW. AFEW FLURRIES AT BEST.AFTER THE MILD DAY YESTERDAY...TODAY WILL FEEL MUCH COLDER.850 MB TEMPERATURES WILL BE PLUNGING TO TEMPERATURES WILL BEFALLING FROM NEAR 0C THIS MORNING TO -15C BY EVENING. SURFACETEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE 20S AND MAY HOLD STEADY FOR AWHILE DURING THE DAY BEFORE PLUNGING TONIGHT.NORTHWEST WINDS MAY BE INITIALLY GUSTY THIS MORNING BEHIND THEFRONT BUT AM NOT EXPECTING IT TO BE A WINDY DAY.MODEL QPF IS QUITE CONSISTENT FOR SOUTHERN RI AND S COASTALMA...WITH TOTALS BETWEEN 0.50 AND 0.75 INCHES...SOME OF WHICH HASBEEN IN THE FORM OF RAIN AND SLEET. STILL DO GET COMPUTATIONS OF2 TO 5 INCHES ALONG THE SOUTH COASTS OF RI AND MA AND 4 TO 6INCHES OVER THE ISLANDS...FROM BLOCK ISLAND EASTWARD TONANTUCKET. WILL KEEP THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN PLACE FROMSOUTHERN RI EASTWARD TO CAPE COD. BIG QUESTION HAS BEEN WHETHER TOLOWER THE WINTER STORM WARNING TO AN ADVISORY FOR THE ISLANDS.TECHNICALLY ONE NEEDS AN AVERAGE OF 6 INCHES. HOWEVER...SINCE WEDO HAVE VERY CLOSE TO THOSE AMOUNTS...HAVE DECIDED TO LEAVE THEWARNING IN PLACE AS WELL. ONE COULD ARGUE THAT THERE WILL BE SOMEADDITIONAL IMPACT OF A LAYER OF ICE AS THE RAIN FREEZES WITHFALLING TEMPERATURES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonPeon Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yea, maybe I was premature in congratulating box. The broad strokes concerning the northern end of the storm were correct, but as I mentioned yesterday, I found it strange that they didn't have a more aggressive gradient on the S end. I think perhaps its a timing issue - they thought more snow would fall as rain, and it wouldn't be snowing at this point as much, so they figured the southern end would balance itself out with a strong early punch. Instead its been pretty steady with some nice bands, and some areas are going to verify a warning which are in an advisory. On the details it looks like retrocasting. Also, am I missing something, i would have guessed providence already has 3 inches... and they are saying "it might reach". Did the radar deceive me, they've been under some decent looking bands.

You guys always looked good like Will said. Other than maybe some brief mix, it always looked good there. Great banding rapidly makes up for any mix.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The HRRR run from 10am or so actually picked up this band scraping the shoreline quite well. Had intensity letting up briefly before this band came through between about 12:30 and 2 before things start winding down for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Might be the best snow of the event here now with some 30 dbz echoes showing up just to the west. Gonna be a little bittersweet watching this come to an end...as this very well could be our last decent event of the winter along the shoreline.

rnaude241 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Was light for a bit, now back to light/moderate snow here. Hoping that band in CT can keep coming, maybe squeak out 6" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
