HarveyLeonardFan Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 This was a great "storm" for SW/W CT. I'm glad for them. This next one will be entertaining for NJ/DE and maybe in a trough in a much lighter version for CT/W 1/2 of MA. The next storm (next week) sucks, no matter how we slice it. We get meso scale storms most of the time, this pattern is god awful and I understand Ray for once. This is punishment for living through 95-96 and 2005. Tough/waiting for a 25 mile wide death band be damned. Slantstickers FTW the rest of the night. You're not buying the 3-5 for the South Coast, Cape? Except for the December 2009 15-20 incher snow events down here have been hard to come by the past two winters and I'll be happy with 3 inches because this area is getting screwed from literally every direction.

Honestly who knows but I think it's unlikely...less than 50% chance of 3-5 at the canal/sagamore bridge/bourne/bridge. It's hard to argue with the GFS/EC/RGEM, but I think as it is modeld right now it's an ultra tight band of precip. Will see in the am if we all survive what's left of the death blow. it's possible this "miss" is feedback related, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Thanks Jerry ... I'll never forget meeting you at the conference in '06 - Eastern used to be somewhat cliquey but I'll always remember you being accessible to me that afternoon in Baltimore and saying, "Hop in, we're going to lunch" ... while some other folks were like, "Who is this new guy?" Anyway, congrats on the local jackpot in the blizzard and wishing you all the best snow-wise and otherwise in the future... you rock, my man! Dan weatherfella is like no other. Experienced and a fair fellow all around. .... Was playing the game earlier but I do think 3 is a boring deal....t-3 tops west to east for Cc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I just measured 6.2". Still light snow...few moderate bursts, but this has to be about it. It looks pretty good yet right along the HV from ALB northward. Andy may come in at close to a foot in GFL when all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Band has really started to fall apart as it loses its mid-level support....hoping for a little rejuvenation as it hits the hills, but I might not get it. We are getting light snow at the moment, but its not that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 THE HEAVIEST SNOW HAS EXITED HARTFORD AND WESTERN TOLLAND COUNTIES...BUT WILL CONTINUE THE WARNING AS LIGHT SNOW WAS STILL OCCURRING. NOTICING A BIT OF ENHANCEMENT ON ALBANY/S RADAR ACROSS THE EAST SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES SO WILL CONTINUE THE WARNING FOR WESTERN HAMPDEN AND WESTERN HAMPSHIRE COUNTY/S. THINGS SHOULD WIND DOWN NEAR DAYBREAK ACROSS THE INTERIOR.-- End Changed Discussion -- indeed,nice. 6+" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 We have that classic upslope type snow where the radar isn't that good...its these pixie dust flakes but they are pretty dense...vis has really dropped in the past 15 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Much larger flakes now...the puffier ones I saw earlier. The band disintegrated pretty rapidly moving out of RI so I'm left with its remnants and trying to enhance on the upslope flow. Hopefully can squeeze out an inch additional, but it could crap out at any time. It actually looks like some decent returns down by Milford.

ORH_wxman Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Got anything more exact? Would like to use it in the PNS. Thanks. --Turtle I got 0.7" right now. I see ORH airport came in with their typical "M"...I probably had about 0.4" or 0.5" before midnight for the F6 from yesterday....but I am north of them by 3-4 miles and it was better here on that first wave earlier in the evening than there but they registered 0.01 of qpf even from the under-estimating ASOS so I'm sure they got measurable snow. Its very fluffy snow and high ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 cloudy and mild here in chelmsford. temp was 28 on way in. hopefully we sqeak out an inch. looks to be snowing a bit at home and im guessing we double the totals on the hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 "Heaviest" snow of the night....maybe borderline moderate now...vis dropped from about 15 mi to about 3/4 or even 1/2 now. Much better flakes too. Looks like its short lived as it passes to the north fairly quickly. I was in a decent screw zone for this I think...the band it looking good for just north me and out toward 495. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 That's all you got? I roasted you. Yeah but you'll end up with like half of what I get this winter....then you can track storms with BB sized hail and go nuts over a 30 mph wind gust when June comes.

weatherMA Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Looks like around .5" eye balling. Decent snow right now, looks like I'll at least get an inch, hopefully 2. Back to bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to bed Yeah I think this is one of the few times I'd rather be in Shrewsbury than in N ORH at 900 feet....you might hang on a bit longer to these good snows. Its try to back build slightly, so I may end up with good snow a little longer than I first thought....probably some of our upslope magic helping a tad, but the MLs drying out rapidly will limit how long we can keep it. Probably another 20-30 min max. I'll be happy if it goes longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
