dendrite Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Okay I give up what is PBG with VCTS? thunderstorm in the vicinity at plattsburgh. Looks like the southern extent of the line in C VT will be close to me unless it keeps redeveloping a bit. It looks promising, but it will probably fall apart.

wxeyeNH Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Wonder as the surface low starts bombing out to our SE if the heights will start crashing so as the Thunderstorm line gets to C NH things go over to snow in a hurry. Im tired but got to stay up to see what happens especially if Rutland has gone to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grambo Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 It has been sleet in Burlington/Winooski for about the past 1.5hrs. Have had two lightning strikes with thunder in the past 30 mins (that I have seen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correction... back to 100% snow. Moderate. This has been a very cool event. Changeover comes quick, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 We left south Burlington right around 7:30 P.M. and as I walked outside I noticed that the intensity of the snowfall had decreased. The actual amount of liquid coming down may have been similar to what we’d be seeing before, but I quickly noticed that the flakes were becoming more granular in nature. There wasn’t any sleet that I could detect, but the granular flakes were clearly denser than the huge flakes that had been falling previously. An amalgam of big wet flakes and granular flakes continued onto I-89, and roughly between South Burlington and Williston at 7:45 P.M. we heard ticks of sleet on the windshield. From there through to our place on the Waterbury/Bolton line the precipitation was a mixture of small granular flakes and potentially some sleet, but we really didn’t have much in the way of formal sleet from what we could see and hear hitting the window; the sound just wasn’t sharp enough. The intensity of the precipitation also really fell off east of Williston, presumably in association with the dry slot. At the house around 8:45 P.M. I found 4.1 inches of snow on the snowboard, the temperature was 30.2 F, and the precipitation was mostly small granular flakes, but the intensity was fairly light. By 9:00 P.M. the precipitation was a combination of slightly larger flakes and some sleet pellets, and that’s what we’ve had since then. Based on the Intellicast colored radar it looks like we may get back into more substantial snow at some point. Since I haven’t cleared the snowboard yet with this event, when it looks like the dry slot/mix area is past, I’ll clear it and get the water content, and that will allow a good indication of liquid for that first part of the event. Then my plan is to let any overnight snow accumulate and I’ll measure at my normal 6:00 A.M. observations time. Of course we’ll have to see what Mother Nature has planned and whether or not my plans fit with hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalWinds Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Getting in on the thunder and lightning now in the Montpelier area. Light sleet with a bit of freezing rain and the strikes are just to my south but very visible and audible. Amazing! I've never seen this in the 13 years I've lived here! Edit: Make that heavy sleet!

whitemountainhiker Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Well, even though I have a thunder phobia, I'm going to try to get a video, without running away like a little baby. (Secretly, I'm hoping I see nothing) But anyways its in the low 30s...what a "recovery" from -9 this AM. We had about 2 inches of snow, and now a generous coating of glaze on top.
