OKpowdah Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Please just stop posting negative stuff, today at least, there is nothing negative about today...with the exception of some mixing issues along the Cape but this is a day where just about everyone here should feel positive and happy. We don't need negative stuff on a day like today, today is a day to be POSITIVE. Fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 It would be appreciated if an explanation would accompany these graphs. A lot of weenies - myself included - may have no idea what this represents. And if it means SW Maine is going to be lathered in snow. I don't really know what the last graphic is but the top one is standard deviation from normal or what climo is I believe. So basically the -5 SD means that the SLP strength is 5 SD stronger than what the average is or something....basically this just means this is one intense storm I'm not really sure how to explain it into great detail...I'm sure someone else could.

EastBayWx Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Snow is really coming down now, visibility under 1 mile. Temp 30F with North wind. I-95 Corridor FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Were not going to see the sustained winds to meet criteria. I think winds gust 40-50 even inland tonight ..I'm 99% sure BOX flips the script to Blizz warnings even inland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Hey Scott, how are you liking my locale this morning? - sn currently. Can't wait for the bomb to go off. I've always liked your location. I still think the east slopes of the Berks are a secondary max with the other maximum being ORH hills, Ray's area, Essex county. You guys are going to be getting ripped with +SN with wind coming in from the northeast... something the radar will likely not pick up either, as you are in radar-no-mans land.

moneypitmike Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 okay--just added dry gas to the snowblower. Hopefully that'll fix things. If I have to shove, I'm going really be bummed! At least the generator starts. Of course, I have greater confidence that I'll need the snowblower. Back to flurries now, ground whtiened. 18.5/12, light NE wind. 1019.3, down 2.1mb since 8:30.

dan11295 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 That OES band now dropping to the Nofolk/Bristol county line looks pretty decent. The main show you can see gathering S of LI and the SE MA coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Doesn't matter to me...this is a blizzard for all intents and purposes even if we can't quite make the 35mph for 3 hour requirement. Yeah, it's all semantics. We're all under a Heavy Crush Warning, which is good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Earlier, you could see the CF dropping slowly se on South Weymouth TDWR. It looked like it was east of BOS down to Brockton. Not so visible right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomNH Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Yeah, it's all semantics. We're all under a Heavy Crush Warning, which is good enough for me. Yeah, if I get 18'' but can only sustain 25mph winds, I won't be sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Even EWB has north winds. Classic CF. Reminds me of the Dec '03 situation. We may see the CF try to push nw a little, later today perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Snow is very weird right now, goes from fine almost rain like, to steady snow, to huge flakes, then back to fine snow...haven't seen it fluctuate like this ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 AT 9 AM LIGHT SNOW CONTINUES TO DEVELOP OVER THE REGION IN RESPONSE TO A COMBINATION OF COOLING CLOUD TOPS VIA WARM AIR ADVECTION ALONG WITH A COASTAL FRONT BEGINNING TO SET UP OVER NORTHEAST MA WITH SFC WNDS NNW AND OFSHR WNDS NE. EXPECT COVERAGE OF SNOW TO INCREASE AS THE MORNING PROGRESSES BUT 06Z NAM/GFS AND 09Z SREF ALL SUGGEST MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL 4-7 PM TODAY FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST. THIS MATCHES UP WELL WITH LATEST SATELLITE AND RADAR TRENDS UPSTREAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman21 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I'm sure we see winds that strong as well but not sustained 35+ for the time requirement. The bigger issue isn't the wind as the "frequent gusts over 35" requirement is subjective, but the visibility at or below 1/4 mile for three straight hours. It's tough to keep the visibility that low for 3 straight hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 one thing that worries me is these storms that have to get their **** together but all models are unanimous on an uber-bomb, so you have to be comfortable with high amounts i think.

Someone could see 20″ especially in Litchfield County. The surface low, 850mb low, and 700mb low are tracking perfectly for a major snowstorm in Connecticut. Ideal. Mesoscale banding and strong mid level frontogenesis is going to produce a band of crushing snow this evening. It’s going to be exceptionally impressive for a period of time. 2 feet is possible somewhere but I’m not sure where yet. Enjoy the blizzard!
