I was surprised how cold it was even on the warm side of the coastal front. Was worried it would be in the 32-33 range rather than 29-30. Deerfield helped to avoid power problems. I was checking on that beast WCB band before I went to bed wishing on some level I could be there... Maybe some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's refresh the snowpack and do Christmas right. Let's just pray there are no cutters in our future as that would be disastrous with this snow...especially on roofs in the area.

I bet you’re right they would’ve Had 10 if they measured the hour of peak intensity on a board Yeah I mean those rates are the only way to get like 41” of depth in 11 hours. They had bare ground at midnight. At some point it had to be like a foot an hour. Im blown away, I’ve never seen anything like that. 12am... bare ground 11am... 41” depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, just the other day I was wondering about the highest snowfall rate ever recorded. Whatever it is, I'm sure Okemo and dendrite came close. Is a foot per hour even possible? I can only imagine what it would look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are going to be some good case studies on that mesoband at some point. It had QPF and crosshairs in the DGZ. I bet they still had 2”+ water in a narrow zone in that band. Its fluffy but there’s still water in it based on the reports. Like BGM’s 42” had 2.80” water. Good fluff factor but 2.80” QPF in 24 hours at temps in the teens is nothing to scoff at. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time I've ever seen anything like that was Tahoe...was in a storm there where it dumped like 70-75 inches in 2.5 days, and the peak of it was probably 10" per hour type stuff. I guess December 23, 1997 was pretty close in ORH with 6-7" per hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went from lift all above the DGZ at PWM to 40-50 ubar right in the heart of it. Snow forecast jumped from 9" to 17" with similar QPF. Our 12z sounding matches the 12z run pretty closely. The DGZ is nearly surface to 500 mb. Doesn't matter where you start lifting from, it's dendrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I measured a couple different ways and I think I came up with 11.5"....almost 9 inches of fluff followed by a couple that compacted easily. When everything averaged out, 11.5" will do it for me. I should have cleared the board before that sleety mix showed up...next time, hopefully it is trying to determine whether we have 29 or 30 inches Yea if you cleared it, would have been 13” maybe. It’s all good, let’s stick with 11.5” to make the next one more special. I’m still hunting for that 18+ biggie that I haven’t had since 2011. One day I’d like a Dendy 30-36” so I can retire on top ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the cold conveyor really kicked in here and we started getting that easterly flow, the snow really took on the look of some of our better ocean effect. Just really dumping dendrites.

mahk_webstah Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 looks like we are about done here. I'm gonna call it 28". It might've been 30, but now I have an aspiration lol. I really thought Brian was getting 40. 28 inches in basically 12-13 hours - wow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Even as the intensity of the band comes down on reflectivity we're still snowing just as hard as at its peak. Must be the low levels doing the bulk of the work currently. When PWM is 16 though you can do that and it still works out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I know I can do at this location is "fake cold", so the question is how low can we go with all of this new snow on the ground....

It's the opposite of the 12/5 event....I think all of our lift down here has been lower level stuff since about 4-5am, but we've kept nice dendrites mostly. Helps when it's like -8C to -10C in the 850-925 layer with all that easterly flow supplying tons of salt nuclei. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
