December 5-6, 2020 Storm Observations and Nowcast

[Typhoon Tip]

Wow... seemed to have crossed a 'panache' threshold if you will - we have convincing moderate snow now, and the aggregates are even slightly smaller and more uniform..

Ground is slushing and whitening...

35 here ..down 4 in the last hour as this transition really got convincing over the span of time.

First inch down on winter hill 

[moneypitmike]

Interestingly, we have snow now with only light precip coming down.  We're going to need to do something about the 36* though to get things moving

[MarkO]

Temp steady at 37.5. Painful. Took the drone up and it's snowing at 1500'

LOL

ORH really is a good spot for snow.

50/50 mix in Westport, at sea level, even when the precip is relatively light!  You folks to the north and northeast are gonna get pounded

[J Paul Gordon]

0C/32F  light to moderate snow, smaller flakes now. Ground covered, parts of my steep Worcester street are getting some cover. Win picking up.

Northern ORH up through like Princeton is definitely the “Westminster” of the general BOS region.

I never thought of it that way

Down another degree to 35 in Middletown.  Saw* a couple of snowflakes mix in during heavier precip.

Seems like we're running about 5 degrees cooler than OKX forecast.

This is super marginal.

I’m accumulating on pavement here in Londonderry. I’m not used to that. In philly it would have taken 2 hours to accumulate lol

Their temperature grids were a disaster. Had to run raw guidance and correct it to show on air. Pretty frustrating.

Southern Worcester down by Route 20 is not nearly as good as your place.

See any planes up there?  Dumb thing to do.

[Professional Lurker]

36° moderate rain. Just took a drive up to around 1200’ in Colrain, Surprisingly no mixing up there yet either.

Yeah. Bullshit. Lol.

Slush on pavement...earlier than I expected. Good sign I guess 

[It's Always Sunny]

Nice example of bright banding. Melting layer around 1500'.

[J Paul Gordon]

What's it doing in Southbridge. Had to cancel an event one year when I was stuck in Worcester with 8" of the wettest, greasiest, snow ever (absolutely beautiful though). Southbridge got only rain. People thought I was crazy to cancel.

[ineedsnow]

Coolest thing ever got gloppy flakes coming down mixed with rain again look into the sky and looks like a blizzard just above

[PhineasC]

Temp is 31 now. Very happy with the quick temp drop here.

Flipped to some mod/heavy snow. Hope it holds...

[MacChump]

Enjoying reading the obs from all of you up there...assuming these setups rarely give localized snowholes over only Tolland and Randolph I’m rooting for you all to get nailed...

[HoarfrostHubb]

About 2” here.  Roads are awful

Rain mixed with golf balls right now, Westport, CT
