Strongest winds I've ever had at this house in a snow storm (past 6 years). Great snow growth. What a storm. Dude, awesome flakes right now!

PowderBeard Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Snow growth just really improved in the past couple minutes as we sit on the edge of "the band". A little over 2" in Amherst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Take them up .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... 10 AM Update... Strong bombogenesis occurring currently with the low already at 957 mb. Thundersnow currently occurring over CT and NY. This morning`s guidance and the character of the system on satellite as well as wind profiles have supported upgrading the entire coast to blizzard as well as as far west as the Nashua/ Manchester corridor and adjacent inland areas such as York County. Visibilities will be at times a quarter mile with winds AOA 35 mph over much of the two states...but it will be much harder to satisfy the 3 hr requirement for a blizzard farther inland. Storm force warnings over the waters were also upgraded to hurricane force for all but the bays. Snowfall totals were upped quite a bit and added more detail to QPF with mountain effects...yielding snowfall totals could be in the double digits for most of the area. This still may be underdone for the western Maine mountains...but am not confident on going higher with neighbors currently in good agreement. Strong downsloping will cut off snow for western NH rather quickly in some areas and this will limit snowfall totals there. However very strong dynamics and kinematic profiles will support 2 to maybe even 4" an hour snowfall totals for a few hours. Blowing snow will be a hazard all the way to the Canadian border.

Yeah this has been meh so far but radar says it's about to be a lot more exciting here, hopefully we can keep the good stuff around for a while. I moved in May so no longer have the panoramic view that makes it easy to guess visibilities, but probably somewhere in the SN range. 26f. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Blizzard warn expanded a little over eastern zones ... but again, it's semantics ... Winter Storm warning with heavily worded blowing and drifting suffices entry level into blizzard criteria so ... whatever. I've had 1/4 mi vis for ~ two hours and forty five minutes so ... if going by that metric I should achieve here in the next little bit. 4.5" ; 17F S+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
