FRWEATHA Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 About 1/4 inch here. Everything covered. Too bad it will all be gone by tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Just in for my first midnight shift so I'm still catching up: From what I see, the 00z raobs vs the models it's the NAM and CMC-reg leading the way, followed closer by the GFS, and the Euro being the warmest at 850 mb.

OceanStWx Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 925 mb separates them out a little more, CMC-reg leading the way, followed by NAM, GFS and Euro in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 A nice little band of enhancement over my area right now. Around 1" so far with terrific snow growth. The radar seems to be matching up quite nicely with the last couple of runs of the RGEM so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious what was going on down there as radar looked pretty good. Hope that slides up my way. 24F with .3" down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlantStickers Anonymous Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'm at about a "heavy coating" now, can no longer see the pavement and tires leave visible tracks on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWolf Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I have a heavy coating of pixie dust. But snow has stopped. Lol. About a 1/4 inch. I was hoping for over an inche so it could be the biggest of the season to date. May not make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGEM holds the snow the longest for the interior but if you take a consensus of all the mesoscale models there will certainly be a very fine line between forecasted minimums and maximums being realized in areas between the N of the Pike and W of I-495.

NCAR ensemble thinking along those lines. Could go from meh to man snow in some short distances. The overall layout of snowfall totals I like though.

The overall layout of snowfall totals I like though. Although some will be disappointed, that map is quite reasonable. What is often forgotten by the weenie in many of us is that despite the importance of the RA/SN transition line there is the the snow growth factor, which models often handle poorly over short distances, with many variances in microclimates and terrain. The difference for me in NW MA with a SWFE can be 3"- 6" with the same LE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a terribly hard thing to forecast (so many variables) but it is really the only way you're going to get a real strong snow map. Doing snow totals based off one ratio or surface temps only is missing a lot of the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Just hit .5" -SN/SN 27/25. Horrific snow growth with microflakes and needles currently. I'm assuming I will get into better snow growth here as precipitation enhances overnight but either way it's gonna' be heavy to move come tomorrow.

tavwtby Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 about 1" down, and holding at 25*, been snowing basically since like 430, with awful snowgrowth...looks like things are about to pick up though, radar is looking nice back west, still sticking with my 4"mby total.

TheSnowman Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 0.75" and Fantastic Snow Quality! Overachiever at this point. Hopefully Snows until 5am. Terrible that it gets So warm tomorrow, then we look to Miss the mid-week, then Bitter cold, and then Warms up AGAIN for the next storm, it'll be rain so no taking advantage of the cold blast. Classic tales of a Sucky Winter Incoming..... at least usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Snow intensity is better now. Not much to speak of in terms as total. Just trying to enjoy snow in the air, can't wait for plowable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Starting to get a bit better organized over SNE but the real stuff is racing NE in PA...however much of that stuff can rip into the area before about 11z, it will make the difference between maybe 2" and 4-5" for some areas in the interior between Ray in NE MA and ORH over to Berkshires.
