The region’s first nor’easter of the season Thursday was a culmination of “the right ingredients at the right time,” according to Bryce Williams, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service s Norton office.
“We had the cold air in place at the same time we had plenty of moisture in the atmosphere to work with,” he explained during a phone interview Thursday morning with the Daily News.
Williams said there was really strong lift in the atmosphere that caused the moisture in the air to precipitate. That in turn, made snow fall rapidly, he said.
“We had extremely cold temperatures, which make for a light fluffy snow, which accumulated quickly and then we had a lot of moisture with a very strong wind all together, making for a really big dump of snow,” he said.
