backedgeapproaching Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Just drove over the spine of the Southern Greens 15 mins ago coming home it was solid SN..maybe a quick half inch was down with roads covered and somewhat limited VIS. Just got home and looks like maybe .2 or .3 at my place in the valley. Dim sun shining through as per radar there is a break to the south.

tamarack Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Sweet. Why did NWS have to mess with their website so much? Trying to look at probabilistic snowfall and all you get now is a small little pop-up map. I want a more detailed one like we used to have. Has it moved again? http://www.weather.gov/gyx/winter Probably just a computer algorithm thing, but that updated "most likely" map has expanded the 8-12" area westward to include my place and Farmington. However, the odds shown for Farmington getting 8"+ have dropped from over 60% to 49%. No complaints - anything 6"+ here is a win. For those about to rock... So it's been 37 years since I'd seen lightning in January, and now it will happen twice in 48 hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 What is the reason for that late night line that goes from you up to me and Gene? I'll take that Mark. Snow is just breaking out over me with winds steadily increasing from the south. 23.5F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 1/28/10 Redux That was the last real snowsquall we've had here. As long as the subsequent weeks aren't similar. Those 20 minutes of SN+ were winter's death rattle here, leading into Feb-Mar-Apr nearly as much AN as was last month, including one run of 46 consecutive AN days. So BUF... 25036G56KT 1/8SM +TSSN BLSN...OCNL LTGICCG NE-OHD-SW Wow! Surprised they can see even 1/8 mile in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shortwave is crossing that area right now, so this is a line of squalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow when the ocean dynamics get injected.....radar looks good but why the gap between the snow breaking out toward w ME border and the snow just coming into VT?

OceanStWx Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I mean this is a squall line like you'd see in the summer. Check out what went through BUF. That's basically a rear inflow jet forming behind the line and evaporating some of the precip. Widespread area of 50 knots behind that. This is a dynamic vort max.

JC-CT Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 A late blooming southern stream storm is impacting cape cod with snow right now a heavier band is moving through now You should start a thread for it. The latest HRRR seems more favorable for the western edge of the blooming precip shield fwiw, the second line is farther east but also out of its range.

OceanStWx Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Wow when the ocean dynamics get injected.....radar looks good but why the gap between the snow breaking out toward w ME border and the snow just coming into VT? Probably just sampling issues as the beam is angled slightly. Plus WAA is just starting to get going, so these should only fill in with time.

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I would think that's a good sign for here later It's possible. They did wet bulb down when the precip hit. As long as the warm layer is shallow enough it's possible the rain is short-lived and we don't advect any more warmth aloft before the onset of precip on this southerly flow we have going on.
