Nah he’s primed and ready to dry my well this spring.

Nah. We up here.

I was worried about dry air lurking to the north most of the week as the confluence from that s/w backing in from ME was slow to lift out. Sunday morning I just knew it was going to be a problem when I saw how much the dry air was putting up a fight with the cloud cover.

I did release a balloon of helium, and lo, much to mine astonishment, after tracking southwestward o’er Elmer’s tannery a mere 200 rods hence, the thing did change course and return o’er my own abode, shrinkin’ to a size o’ a bee in the heavens.

SW flow aloft yes. It was N-NE flow at the surface. But in the knickers days they wouldn’t have really known the difference between a coastal and a strong overrunning event like 1/25 unless someone had access to a barometer and pressure readings in the region.

Does someone actually hang around CPK all day to measure?

Yeah I ignored the bad data.

If they cleared for the 18z ob (idk what they do there but I assume there’s a contract observer) they may have lost any additional due to melting/melting on contact by the time they measured again. I think the temp climbed from 31-33 in that period and eventually to 34 by 00z.

It would’ve been called nor’easter in the yore years. Heavy snow and strong NE winds.

What’s the problem with NYC?

JB is ACATT so he will be great in a winter like this

Tied for the largest spring 24hr drop at CON since at least 1950. I don’t recall the May 1992 one but that looks brutal too.

I joked last night, but all of those Fall River roofs were blown almost clean. It has to go somewhere. But yeah…it’s like rainfall totals in a legit hurricane. Good freakin luck. If you really want to get serious and have the space…NWS GRR once experimented with automated snow measuring and put concentric snow fences around it to cut down on drifting. https://www.weather.gov/grr/snowsensor

March 98 laughed at pack in NNE.
