NeonPeon Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I'm just glad I moved to RI after being in socal for 6 years. You end up counting every flake of your blessings. This one stings a bit though. We had about an hour if that at the beginning, and since then the situation has trended toward the inevitable. By the time that band fights its way over here it will be half dead. I've not seen any bigger coastal storm, whether we're on the fringe or right at ground zero, not produce twice as much snow as here, within 30 miles of my location, ever. Even last year which was insane tantalizingly east was just a very good winter here, nothing close to historic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice1972 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 We got lucky getting under that band and then having it rot overhead Looks like its shifting east now or maybe dissipating and something new forming to the east closer to HFD? IDK maybe its a hallucination....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macriver Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Lucked out for the time being, we're in that band that heads into se nh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 oes I'm not sure its OES but probably part of it. I just think RI is far enough inland in these easterly flow events that the low level wind coming off the ocean sees increased friction with land as it moves onshore so there's some speed convergence as the air subtly slows down as it moves onshore. That causes an "air pile-up" like on an interstate, causing enhanced lift in SE Mass (or at least that's how I see it). The fall out from that is sinking air as it moves into RI. Almost creating a standing wave pattern of constant upward motion over SE Mass and downward motion in RI before you hit the mid-level banding further west. Coastal front likely plays a role too. Basically the lift is fairly stable and not moving over SE Mass and causes a downwind sinking motion over RI. Almost as if there was a mountain ridge line somewhere in SE Mass with downsloping downwind into RI. Likewise, to the north it may happen a little bit in parts of interior eastern Mass, but then you have the ORH Hills that will off-set any low level downward motion and cause upslope... so you don't see a similar hole to the north. I bet if the ORH Hills weren't there, interior eastern Mass might see a similar phenomena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIcoastalWX Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Band in SE CT/Western RI finally looks like it's on the move. Still heavy snow here but ceiling is lifting. 21.8/18 - Moderate to heavy snow/blowing snow. Visibilities under 1/4 Not showing signs of letting up in the SE part of town just yet. Close to another inch has fallen in the last hour since the band moved in - about 3.5 to maybe 4" total.(tough to measure accurately) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian5671 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Looks like its shifting east now or maybe dissipating and something new forming to the east closer to HFD?

metagraphica Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 A little over 3" here. Terrible snow growth now. Mostly just little needles when I went out to clear off the car 10 minutes ago. I think we'll be lucky to hit 4" here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backedgeapproaching Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 We dry. .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 5 PM THIS AFTERNOON/...1010 AM...PRECIPITATION SHIELD CONTINUES TO EVAPORATE ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY. WHILE BOSTON IS RECEIVING WIND DAMAGE AND NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE OCCURING ON THE CAPE...SO FAR NO SNOW HAS REACHED THE GROUND IN NH OR MAINE DUE TO THE VERY DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE. NORTH WINDS CONTINUE TO DRAW DRIER AIR SOUTH AND IN FACT DEW POINTS ARE DROPPING IN MUCH OF THE REGION. NEAR ZERO OR NEGATIVE DEW POINTS WILL KEEP SNOW ALOFT EVAPORATING INTO VIRGA FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS. DP dropped to -11F here in SVT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if the ORH Hills weren't there, interior eastern Mass might see a similar phenomena. It all goes hand-in-hand....oes is accentuated by the cf and slight topography, as well. Whatever wish to call it, the hole is a result of the aggregate CJ phenomena imo......especially as large scale synoptic forcing abates.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
