HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 4.2-4.5" here before the flip. 25F -FZRA. I broke the usual routine and cleared my driveway before the FZRA stopped. It is easier before it gets dark and I figured, what the hell, it's already a sheet of ice anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would be mostly sleet with maybe some FZDZ at the end but it was like 20 minutes of sleet then straight to ZR. I thought he said little to no ZR? There wasn’t much hope for prolonged sleet down there with the low warm tongue and relatively shallow refreezing layer. I guess I’m confused as to who has said what now.

wxeyeNH Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Back to moderate/heavy snow. I mixed for about 10 minutes. As the crow flies I'm exactly 5 air miles south of K1p1, so we know exactly how far the mix line made it in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he said ASH mostly frozen and Dover wet. But I'll give his holiness the benefit of the doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 27 minutes ago, dendrite said: FWIW...I had 0.73”in my 6.5” of all snow. So a typically lousy SWFE 9:1 ratio. Dry yet dense. Very similar when I did a 6 hour core. Had 5.0" with .55" LE. Seems like some more high ratio stuff on the backside with some better formed dendrites. Around 7.5" give or take right now.

Just got home Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk That line of sleet that was moving north on Dual Pol has washed out and is sliding back ESE, Looks like a couple more hrs at least of +SN it seems, This system is trucking off to the NE.

WthrJunkyME Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 17F, almost 5” thus far. Still snowing hard and hoping we are all snow to the end. I think I’ll have a few beers and leave the snow blowing for the morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Parts of Tolland are up to 35-38, but it took way more than an hour. Kevin was high on his snow call like most of us, although I did go 2-3 and we got 2.1 here, and if he thought he was going the distance below 32 everyone else pretty much knew it wasn't happening, although he got a pretty decent glaze for many hours. Pope was too high on snow and to aggressive with surface temps warming, probably doesn't know all the microclimates in areas that he is not as familiar with. None of us are perfect. It's a humbling science. We all live and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a humbling science. We all live and learn. Kevin had a slim chance to go wire to wire below freezing...he always spikes to like 33-36 somewhere near the end in these unless there is an actual high that stays anchored (there wasn't in this case)....but places like interior S NH down to ORH usually go wire to wire...maybe a very brief 33-35 when it mixes out, but 99% of the event is below freezing for them usually.

SharonA Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Freeport, ME: Tiny flakes started around 12:15, 20 minutes later it's falling steadily, by 2pm there was already 2" on the ground when I joined the herd bailing from the office to head home (or hotel in my case). Eyeballing it from the window of my (comfy warm) room, it looks like we got about 5" before the transition 15 minutes ago. Tick-tick-tapping away. Now to talk myself into going back outside and clearing off the car ... waiting for a brief gap in the dribbling-ticking ... Please tell me all this icy-slick stuff will be gone from the US1 route from 95 into Boston-Logan by tomorrow midafternoon .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowgeek Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 4" before the changeover. 1/2" breakable crust from the freezing rain and sleet (breakable crust in the open (tough on pups legs), not in the woods). 1.25" of fluff on top of that. Looks like about 20 minutes left of heavy and then an hour of light. 23F/23F. Light north winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Paul Gordon Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 So, no hope for a little melting in Worcester tonight, I take it. Ice is no fun in a city of hills. I'm dreading the morning slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly can fess up and admit when I err. There’s been quite a few of these where I rot at 32.4. I just hit 33.4. So it’s over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
