tool483 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Coming down heaviest of the afternoon, good luck to those dealing with feet of this mess. What a storm! I'm a little releived it didn't continue on as it did last night. We lost power at work, thank god for the large generator. Tree's were snapping all over the place with many closed roads. If it had continued it would have been a disaster. Not sure what two and a half feet of this would do to the trees around here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheComet Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Measured 5", but that could be off because of the wind. I measured in an area not prone to drifting and shielded from the winds. It could very well be 1 or 2 inches more than that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobie Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Outages in CT are almost all well north of 84. This is just Eversource, not the customers served by UI. ETA - they're not excessive, either. Let's hope it stays that way. Edited March 14, 2023 by Hobie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin MaineJay Posted March 14, 2023 Admin Share Posted March 14, 2023 Pivot that 30dBZ overhead for an hour or 2 and it'll pile up quick. Much bigger flakes in that band. 30.4°and ripping for now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators StretchCT Posted March 14, 2023 Moderators Share Posted March 14, 2023 Radar's weird. Earlier this would be a mod to heavier snowfall. Now it's just a could of flakes falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poco Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Still snowing here, I couldn’t even guess what actually fell as a lot of it was melting. I’d say we got at least 4” and possibly more if someone measured with a board every hour looking at analysis the vigorous vort out front did not assimilate into the flow. I think our nothern ull was slow to arrive which didn’t help make things a bit more compact A great storm in a year where we’ve had basically nothing. Think we still have another wave to track next week before it’s officially boating season, will occur during a retreating phase 1 mjo, enso neutral phase 1 composites show lower heights over the Cont US and downstream which could help slow the flow down. Will have to see how things play out this week 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayuphere Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Snow started around 3 pm, came in fast like a snow squall, heard 2 rumbles of thunder during the most intense band. 38° down to current 32.5° once it started. Strong NNE wind has the trees roaring up high. Quick 2” but now watching a big dry slot moving in off the GOM into eastern Maine. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRex Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Mount Snow is reporting over 3 feet of snow but I don't know what time this is from. MOUNT SNOW WEATHER FORECAST Wheeeeeew skiers and riders, this storm is one for the books! We're measuring over 36" (you read that right: over 3 FEET) of snow and it is still coming down. A massive thank you to all of our teams who put in major work to get us the trails and lifts we had today, and to all of you for your patience. The storm's not done and the work's not over, so there may be delays tomorrow but the goal is Bluebird Express, Nitro Express, Outpost, Discovery Shuttle, and Sunbrook Express for a 9:00 start. Please check for updates! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRex Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 This is pretty cool. BTV missed the forecast today for a sizeable chunk of their coverage area and their discussion goes through what happened. For those not willing to read it, sun angle comes into play. Quote As of 319 PM EDT Tuesday...It has been a day out there. To briefly describe what happened, much of the previous forecasts have relied on snowfall rates being insufficient to overcome a March sun angle, some impinging dry air, and near to above freezing temperatures. These issues would be less realized at higher elevations, but the expectation at lower elevations was for greater difficulty in seeing snow pile up. About 7 to 8 AM, an area of 700-500 hPa FGEN concurrent with an area of enhanced SEPV and a small jet stream associated with a more persistent Long Island low produced a band capable of 2-3 inch per hour snowfall rates. Its impacts were felt as it moved west across the Connecticut River Valley and slowly made its way to the Champlain Valley before stalling out. These rates were sufficient to produce the rapid accumulations that have resulted in scattered to numerous power outages. Essex County, New York has reached nearly 50 percent without power, and outage events in Vermont reached nearly 38000 before coming back down. Traffic in Vermont and Essex County, New York has been especially difficult. High resolution guidance failed to capture this mesoband, and it seems our forecast prescience was about as foggy as the visibilities at BTV as of this time of writing. Just imagine if it were colder! We are likely to achieve equal or more liquid equivalent than the infamous Pi Day Storm (1.11" of liquid), which happened 6 years ago. Since midnight, we have received 1.01" of liquid, but given how wet the snow has been, we are not near that event`s snowfall total. Stay safe out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that 5-10 miles inland made a big difference, but I don't think the city itself got a whole lot as of this writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHSparky Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I was working in Lexington was probably 2 inches on the ground when I left work at 2. This snow was like pushing cement with the truck today. Wind was definitely a non factor though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
