TalcottWx Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I thought we'd do better than about 4" but that's approximately what I have on my deck here. Streets are wet lmao... sidewalks too. Slushy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRSno Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Gonna guess around 3-4" from just eyeballing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yeah when you do not have good inflow, the mid levels are really what to look at. So instead of a good CCB and isentropic lift...you get the banded nature of snow. yup, precisely - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 hey, do you work at WSI in Andover? TWC loves to have WSI on for live shots! Yeah that's usually my friend Dan on.

OceanStWx Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Not that anyone asked ... but it appears to me the old 1.5 to 3 Deg left of v-max track pretty much nailed the cold side QPF in this. We've been hyper focused all weak on where the models have been bull's eyeing the low, when in the end ... these bands of frontogen looking snows seemed to be less involved with cyclogenesis altogether and more along the lines of mid level forcing, period. you know ... in a way, this was kinda ANA looking to some dgree - though I'm sure that wouldn't hold up to reananlysis - I know we stress it a lot, but it's a good lesson for people trying to learn this stuff. Start from the top down. It will give you more correct answer than not. QPF and MSLP can be misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastonSN+ Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I would think you average a little more than 30. Even the Stamford co-op site averages 31. Perhaps I could be wrong I remember it being 30 a few years ago but the last few years have been so snowy would not be surprised if the average went up.

CT Valley Snowman Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Congrats you got lucky It's more than just luck, he has chosen to live in a location that has elevation and is well positioned to cash in on snow bands at times with better ratios and colder temperatures than the valley.

It will give you more correct answer than not. QPF and MSLP can be misleading. Yeah....I think more and more we are getting better though. I think the problem is that when QPF does not support it...it may make things tough for someone to be bullish. However, if one assumes ratios will be high...that is a step in the right direction to assure confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 About 5" here. Driveway is down to pavement already without even touching it.... Roads are also just wet Surprised at all the cancellations..... A delay would have been fine.... Once the sun rose anything on the road was gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 My road and driveway are snow covered. Actually plowed my street. It stuck very easily to the roads once it cranked overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 lol...I don't care what you call it. You're the one who has to live with it. I just try and be as precise as I can and err on the side of caution. If I stick a ruler in the snow and it's level at 5.9" but one little arm of a snowflake is sticking up and barely reaches 6.0", I don't call it 6.0". It's 5.9. Like I said, I don't care. I was just making a comment about my own observation more than anything. It's a nice little snowfall. Great to see! Doesn't matter much to us. One, snowfall is hard to measure, two, 5.9" rounds up to 6" for verification purposes anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 The snow was 16:1 here... pretty impressive fluff factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 you're so sneaky evil for being a parent man, school gets canceled every time someone farts a snowflake...back in the day when i had to walk to school, up hill both ways, they hardly ever canceled school the night before, i remember waking up and listening for the firestation whistle and watching the news hoping to hear them read my school as they went down the list alphabetically, or listening to wbz am radio waiting to hear them read the list of canceled schools...i feel we are turning into a bunch of pansies Err on the side of caution.

OceanStWx Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 The back peddling begins. Turns out as more info comes in the superintendent now says that the driver misjudged a turn and got the rear wheels stuck and it could have happened in any weather. When in doubt, blame the mets.

It stuck very easily to the roads once it cranked overnight. you gotta get out on the main roads, Scott. They're just wet. granted ...salt certainly plays a roll, as well as traffic action, but the roads were definitely willing to melt just the same - i drove 35 miles to work on side and main and highways and never had anything other that muddy water ...
