NEK Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 30°F, light snow falling, dusting on the ground so far. Doesn't look like it will amount to much this far north, but my drive south to work (Lebanon NH) should be interesting. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDClapper Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 At the moment, looks like Albany and points north and east are the hammer zone. Suspect that will drift a touch southwest as the day proceeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLChip Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Quote An intensifying low pressure system will track northeast along the coast towards the New England region Tuesday. This storm will produce heavy snowfall rates and strong winds across the higher summits and surrounding region from Tuesday into Wednesday. The low pressure system will approach the Gulf of Maine Tuesday as the central pressure of this storm continues to fall rapidly. Winds will quickly ramp up as pressure gradients tighten in association with this low pressure system, resulting in wind speeds nearing the century mark Tuesday. This storm is then forecasted to stall over the Gulf of Maine and then loop back to our east, which will allow for an extended period of heavier snowfall across the region Tuesday. Snowfall rates will increase starting Tuesday morning through the evening as convection continues to increase with this storm. Colder air will also start ushering into the region by Tuesday evening as winds shift northerly. As colder air quickly filters in with strong northerly winds, the onset of dynamic cooling will increase snowfall accumulations Tuesday night, with an additional 6 to 10 inches of snow possible across the higher summits. Winds may gust above 100 mph by Tuesday night due to pressure gradients tightening even further as this low pressure system continues to intensify. Snowfall will eventually decrease in intensity around midnight Tuesday night as this system begins to weaken. Snow will continue to fall across the higher summits throughout the day Wednesday with this system finally departing east by the afternoon. Upslope snow showers will gradually taper off by early Wednesday night and a clearing pattern will settle in over the higher summits as high pressure starts to build towards the region. A steep pressure gradient on the backside of the departing low will continue to produce elevated winds overnight Wednesday with decreasing winds into Thursday as high pressure crests over the region.This storm will have the potential to bring significant snowfall accumulation to the higher summits over this forecast period. As of this morning, the White Mountains look to be in the 12-18 inch range with some southern summits possibly reaching 18-24 inches by the time this system exits and upslope snow showers end by Wednesday night. Winds at all elevations will also be increasing and shifting over this forecast period, which will result in blowing snow and generate deeper drifts that will continue to shift as winds rotate from E to NW from now to Wednesday night. Blowing snow combined with fog and heavy falling snow could lead to whiteout conditions at times near or above tree line during this forecast period. Nearby ravines and gullies could be affected as winds transport fallen snow, so remember to check the Mt. Washington Avalanche center for their assessment before traveling to higher terrain.Alexis George -- Weather Observer and Meteorologist Updated at 5:39 AM on Tuesday The Whites looking to collect the goods today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin MaineJay Posted March 14, 2023 Admin Share Posted March 14, 2023 Storm pretty much exactly rode the gulf stream, which shows up as that dark to light transition from OBX to just south of Nova Scotia under the clouds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The precip didn't really want to cross over. It's not uncommon for things to peter out near the ME/NH border at the onset of storms due to dry, NE flow that funnels down.

Chris2333 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) You know you’re desperate when you’re here and you hope that maybe that wrap around gives you some snow showers, none of it is going to stick of course but would like to see flakes for the what the 4th time all winter.

twinmama08 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 The wind on the backside of this storm is something fierce in my neck of the woods. Lines down everywhere already on my way to work today and it's supposed to get worse as the day goes on. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators StretchCT Posted March 14, 2023 Moderators Share Posted March 14, 2023 Woke up to half inch of snow which was .04 of qpf. Total rain of 1.25. Been snowing all morning, not really adding up to much. The walkway I cleared is covered, as is the driveway. Road is clear, but not stopping the plows from plowing it up. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobie Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Slushy coating on unpaved surfaces. The Rhododendrons tell me it's above freezing. Rainy-splotty snow...more rain than splot at this time. Foggy. I'd be okay if it amounted to nothing more than this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
