Looks like down thru Savoy is cashing in nice elevation snows for N and W , thou looks like you may flip later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Rain the entire way up until I got off 93 at exit 28 and gained some elevation. Seems to be around 1000' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The 32-33F up here at MVL, MPV and 1V4 definitely stand out on this map of the ASOS stations. Nice dynamic cooling down near freezing with the steady precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I haven’t looked but my guess is you are also getting deep lift into the DGZ. You wouldn’t have the cooling if it was ****ty snow growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I will say it did feel pretty awesome to see it falling as snow as soon as I got to my cabin, but I was and am still worried it's only a matter of time before it flips back. Hoping to hit Wildcat or Sunday River tomorrow. 33.1/32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Dropping through the 30s here, but raining. Snowing I presume at 1300ft and up in the western part of the county in New London and Newbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since there wasn't really any snow at all when I got here, I assume it flipped to snow just moments before. Snow is now dry and no longer wet and temp has remained at 33.1/32 since I got here about half hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too often you see the temp drop so much while the dew stays the same. -RN started at 39/32 and then in the steady precip it was able to cool itself to 32/32 in about 90 minutes...especially with SE winds and no advection of drier or colder air, seems not too often we get that significant of dynamic cooling. I figured it would've gone from 39/32 to like 36/35 or something.... but the column probably is isothermal for like 2,000ft right now. It's not very cold in the elevations, even 32F at 2,100ft at Bolton. Same temps as 750ft here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be even draining ever so slightly lower Td air helping even more with the process. Eventually WAA will strengthen, but I’ve seen that happen a lot even down here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbanknjandbigbasslakepa Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I’m in Wardsboro, VT between Stratton and Mount Snow at 1,800’ at the cabin. Snowing moderately 33 and about 3” on most surfaces. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkO Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Amazing how much of a role elevation played in this event. Been snowing all night but I only got an inch to show for it (cue the punch joke) but just came from the lodge at 1300' and was maybe 3-4", and I'm almost certain there's nothing at the valley floor at about 700'.

moneypitmike Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 GYX is showing rare excitement for Wednesday. I have found (both now and when I lived up here 10 years ago) that they have much more measured AFD's than BOX. Perhaps because their CWA is so much larger and varied than BOX's, and that BOX cover a much larger population. Regardless, Wednesday sounds fun. Winds will be ripping through the day on Wednesday as models showing good alignment through 700 mb. May see one of the rare times high wind warnings verify across the majority of the forecast area. Strong mixing should easily bring down 50 mph gusts and would not be surprised to see a few locations topping 60 mph. To add insult to injury...some of the coldest air of the season will hold daytime highs well below normal. Highs probably won`t get out of the 20s in the north. Downsloping winds will help to boost temps in southern zones but highs will only reach the lower to mid 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downsloping winds will help to boost temps in southern zones but highs will only reach the lower to mid 30s. No one asked but ... that's going to depend on the rate of intensification of that fast moving low pressure. The interaction with the northern stream as the system is moving through New England ...that is a phasing scenario - the timing of which is typically problematic. How long it takes to coalescence whereby the system then is mechanically forced into a wild deepening rate ... it could take few hours longer .. effectively sparing the region. Or, it could happen a few hours faster too... sure. The 00z operational Euro was 'just in time' to get rapid deepening underway, which triggers the restorative wind/acceleration into the region ... (more NE). However, that was also a delayed trend compared to previous run. I only cite the Euro because folks seem to lean on that model more-so than than say the GGEM. Anyway, the situation should be monitored (duh) but more so than usual, the models et all have been plotting an unusual feature with that eventual phased deep layer bomb up there. The Euro in particular appears to actually model a 'sting jet' phenomenon N of Maine. That's afterward and not in time, however ... the fact that it's there is sort of suggestive of the system having potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
