78Blizzard Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 For those who had rain before the snow in the last storm, I would check out those downspouts for ice blockages, especially downspouts with extensions away from the house. I took out slabs that were blocking the ends of the downspouts today, some which were over a foot long. That ice is not going to melt very quickly once the rain begins. It wasn't melting much at all today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 13 minutes ago, OceanStWx said: I don't have the modeled LLJ for 12/18, but you can see the difference a bit in the EFI product. Remember this product isn't as simple as extreme = big wind, it just means unusual for this time of year. Much bigger CAD signal for this event. Also a much bigger downslope signal. The shift of tails (black lines, and the real indication of the higher end gusts) also are inverted for this event. Instead of values near 1 across the interior to the coast of Maine, they are all focused in the northwest downslope zones. I would be more surprised if GYX pops a 50 kt gusts than BTV. That does provide a good visual as to the differences between the two events. But I also wonder if we're kind of comparing apples-to-oranges here. Ultimately, there are several ways we can get big wind events to verify around here. While this may not be similar to 12/18 that doesn't necessarily mean a similar impact can't happen. Not using this as a means to justify the wind potential, but sometimes a signal is missed when the focus turns to comparing to a previous event. But essentially, for tonight its virtually convection or bust and how robust that convection can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we'll gust past 40, if we even get that much - much different than 4 hours of 50+ gusts on 12/18. GYX has chopped the snowfall for here by 2" compared to that from the overnight crew, 6-10 down from 8-12, with change fully to RA by 5 AM. Six miles west the forecast is 9-14 with the change at 7. I think the 2 places will be closer together than that, but the big difference will likely come from the observer from Temple, 2 towns west but, more importantly, about 800' higher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elevation for this one will be key, They should hold on longer for the bigger totals, I think outages could be quite widespread though with the snow on the trees and power lines, Then rain on that, Then some wind added, Time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty normal here with a strong Low cutting. SE LLJ ripping down W/NW facing slopes of the higher terrain. Meso's showing this pretty well. Does seem to look worse in NVT, so see how it goes overnight up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
