CT Valley Snowman Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Haven't looked at things real closely, is that tongue of slightly warmer air right up the Connecticut River through Connecticut and up to near Springfield realistic in this setup?

For example, does 1.0" of qpf roughly translate to 0.25" accretion? I know it's not that simple, but I was wondering... Pretty sure it's between about 50-90% rate depending mostly on intensity and wind speed. Temperature really behind these factors in importance.

CT Rain Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Looks pretty good - I do think that we won't see the kind of icing we did last time in southern areas and even the valleys to some extent. The Arctic air over central/northern New England isn't anywhere near as impressive. My area that I'm most interested in is parts of Litchfield County where 2/3 to 3/4" of ZR is modeled.

Its actually adds and solidifies the pack, Obviously i would prefer snow, But we will take anything frozen other then the zr, Let the others that wish for death and destruction have it.

It's possible because the CT River Valley may be cutoff from the dewpoint feed since we're mostly advecting down from Maine. They'll latently heat to 33-34F and rot. The coldest layers are initially around 950mb too so that's why the Berks and NW CT stay colder. There will prob still be ice though in the valley for a time.

I'm not worried about an icestorm here. Even if it's all ZR it'll be the typical icing event. I just don't want 1-2" of only pure sleet on my now cleared driveway. Who wants to clear that? The pack will also be solid enough after it freezes back up following this mini torch. It doesn't need more sleet. Toss it like a Sean McVay offensive gameplan.

STILL N OF PIKE Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 WPC highlights Berks over to Greenfield as only spot with near 50% of >.25 accretion maybe this increases as we get closer to 24-36 hrs from event if models keep bringing higher precip amounts next 12 hours this should /will increase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWolf Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Gut feeling is outside of NW CT, and maybe a few spots in the highest NE areas, this is a non event for most in CT., at least the way it stands currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Yeesh....Euro just really upped the QPF for Wednesday night. This is gonna have to be watched closely....once you start approaching a half inch of accretion then it becomes a huge deal....QPF values are near 0.70-0.75 on Euro now for most of SNE for Wed night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qpf thru 48 is frozen as see n below. NE CT is again frozen longer than NWCT.
