dendrite Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Figured I'd start one for the NNE crew that is slower paced than the SNE one. Down to 20.7F here and on the -SN/SN intensity line. It looks like the really heavy stuff is around Canterbury right now so it should drop down to 1/4-1/2SM vis in 20-30 minutes. The Derry RWIS has been down to 1/4-1/5SM vis for an hour now so they should really be piling it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpsonsbuff Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Moderate Snow at KLEB for the 5 a.m. ob. I personally threw caution to the wind for my forecast and went with 8-14... a mistake, but i don't really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w7xman Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Just got my snowday call... I'm at 24F and experiencing heavy snow, vis under 1/4 mile in snow and blowing snow. Plow guy came already, and there are 2-3 inches on the ground already (drifting) in Epping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Is it me or is this coming further north than expected? NAM and GFS have both upped our QPF in northern VT... 16F with a few stray flurries starting to fall at 1,550ft at the base of Mansfield. Radar looks a lot better than I was expecting and ALY has warnings out in the Adirondacks now which is usually a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go a reasonable 4-8 all throughout your area at this point. Further down the spine - say like Bush/MRG you might even see those east facing summits get into the 10 inch range.

dendrite Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Down to 1/4SM +SN now. 1/4SM-M1/4SM at the Canterbury and Sanbornton RWIS sites. 30-35dbZ moving through now. 20F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Up now--went to bed early last night to get a good night's sleep in anticipation of today. 17F and light snow now falling--just the first coating visible on the deck. I was wondering where Dendrite was yesterday.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering where Dendrite was yesterday.... Work. I called out today. My dad had to take the snowblower down to my parents' place in Hooksett because my mom has surgery today. He needs it a little more than me. I'm hoping the deform band is going to setup over my head. It's looking good for setting up somewhere in the vicinity of here.

Well I don't help, but at 83, he's getting up there... And he shouldn't be pro met either, he said and I quote, "they are calling for 8-12 here, I think it will be closer 6"... Pretty sure they got 12 back home... Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further down the spine - say like Bush/MRG you might even see those east facing summits get into the 10 inch range. Yeah that's what I was thinking, haha. You read my mind. My early morning operational forecast is 4-8" on the mountain with around .4" of liquid. I think Sugarbush/MRG area gets hit hard (6-12") and Killington/Okemo should get crushed. Of course this is for elevations above 1,500-2,000ft where the ski areas sit, but I bet even the lower elevations south of I-89/Winooski Valley verify close to warning if not more.

I think you're in a prime position for that deform band based on everything I've looked at in the last hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a storm forecast of 15+ inches, get it snowing by 3 am, lasting to 3 p.m.... that would do it... This storm got the 3 a.m. part, but the forecast (whether right or wrong) was only for 6-10 from GYX... That's not gonna do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Some fine pixie dust falling already here well ahead of the main event. Just a slight coating on the cars. I'm all in for an over performer here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't come in till 12:30 today so I'll have several hours out here at the house and a fun ride to work to look forward to. Looking forward to daylight--still pretty black out there.

dryslot Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Good to see the storm taking a little more of a west track as i see rain down in SE CT, That may work out well here if we can pull off a Euro track for the storm...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w7xman Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Intensity has let off for the first time in two hours...probably got 2-3 inches an hour for the past couple hours...easily over 6" already.

Here comes the blue-gray light now. Can't see the prominent hill 1/2 mile to the east that I use as a visibility marker. 0.7" already. Did my obs early this morning (6:30) to zero things out for the next 24 fun hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
