I’m not pessimistic.  I hate winter and everything about it.  But I’m not allowed to leave the state

Well that’s a shame for you I guess. Besides the mountains and Upper Midwest, this is probably one of the worst areas to live if you hate winter

Not too sure what to make of the models but I think we should keep an eye to New England, especially on this forum 

Did someone hack this account? I remember you being nothing but pessimistic/trolling us the last two winters. What happened? 

Kinda surprising about the Euro considering the UKIE went way east. Don’t they usually follow each other?

Don't bet on it. You will see it again in your lifetime, likely will be bested several times. The weather is changing. Unusual snow events will increase, both in intensity and in frequency.

I hope you’re right. Maybe we’ll get another 09’-10’ before then too!

I hope the whole coast gets destroyed for 8 straight weeks and we ALL talk about this winter and how great it was.

2015 was actually pretty good here from Valentines day into late March. I got at least  30" during that stretch and my normal annual is around 22-24". 2013-14 was better but back to back good years. 

Very true. The whole metro coast really did get in on a lot of good action. Really stood out here with the over 100” in the second half for KBOS. Something I’ll never see again most likely

Nam looking like 12z again

Here is long range hrrr

I wonder where that idiot troll who said the HRRR was only showing 0.3” qpf for DC is now? Hope he’s seen this. 

Congrats on what looks like an overperformer there. Been a while since your area jacked/trends kept getting better and better as the event got closer. 

Expecting us to get into the goods in the next two weeks hopefully. Have a putrid 1.5” here in East Boston, MA so far. Hoping for a 2015 type repeat here for the second half! Probably not a popular thought in this sub forum but congrats on tonight and enjoy it!

Well if it continues to look like this the media/public hype train will start early. I’ve already heard someone say this morning about a possible “blizzard” for the Patriots game over the air. Here we go smh

Crankyweatherguy lol. Stopped following him after Hurricane Michael.

What was he hitting on about Michael? Was he on the Cat 1, nbd train?

I'd bet that this is related to flooding taking out the tracks.

photos look like it was a pretty dramatic event.

Yeah looks like from the pictures that the rails were on a grade of gravel. I’m no civil engineer and have no idea how different rail track foundations are but if there was a flooding or a current of water going over that area it could of easily washed away or loosened up the ground underneath the tracks making their support of a heavy freight train non-existent and therefore buckling the tracks when it rode over it. Just a guess of course.

It has 30 straight hours of 1.5" per hour or higher rates.  I can't imagine that can happen...

I suppose one could see 50” happening if the stall and loop occurs just based off of the fact that Harvey did it to Texas last year but 93” is just absurd 

5 minutes ago, olafminesaw said:

Does. Does that say 93"?

It sure does. It’s dead center of the 50” contour and there’s nothing higher after that so I guess that’s as high as the product will show in terms of the contours but that’s def 93”. There’s no way that can happen, can it?

That's my Snowstorm Present for Ray haha!  

 

Did he say Ray's Name?  I gave bomb the whole name.  

Lol once again Pete B mentioned it this time saying "Some controversy regarding the top spot. After speaking to someone who is close to the reporter of the 31 in Wilmington" he then said the same thing about the 6 hour clearing method saying "this is the right way to measure snow" and "the NWS said 'what? 31in is too high' but I think it's good and very close to the 28.3 report Methuen." Lol this is getting hysterical.

He didn't meantion him by name and by seeing what you posted just before me answers how he found out about it, but he definitely thinks it legit by his "discounted by some" tone and the fact that he said it on-air

Ray's going to have to join the Pete B fan club now. He's hanging pics of him in his old HS locker as we speak.

Lol yeah he does get a lot of bashing on here but I don't think he is terrible. First winter watching him and have noticed a warm, anti-snow bias but his delivery on TV is one of the best

Pete Bouchard answered my messages about Ray (WHY does this only allow for a 92KB picture!?  Ugh.  I'll copy and paste) - 

"Ahh...the old school measuring method. According to the NWS Chat boards, they thought it was overdone.  Eric Fisher presumed he measured the snow from the previous storm? (Don't know where he got that info.) I asked on the board whether they would accept it, and they said since he wasn't Skywarn, they would omit it. Then it was posted again this morning before they again struck it from the list.  Honestly, I can see how he could get 31. It's a tried and true method! And the RIGHT way to measure snowfall."  

Well there we go. You got to it before me 

Pete Bouchard on his 5pm broadcast while showing the totals graphic with Methuen as the highest said: "The real jackpot, 31in in Wilmington. Old school measurement of 6 hours of snow, clear the board. 6 hours of snow, clear the board. It was discounted by some."  I guess he checks in on this board or contacted Taunton to know about the 6 hour clearing method you used but nice shoutout to Ray anyway. By his tone it sounded like he was buying the 31

The observer lives in Winthrop that's where the stats are from, strange folk up there in Boston 

Wow that seems very strange as there could be quite the difference in snow totals from Winthrop right on the coast to downtown Boston like yesterday. I thought I got more than 14.5in. I'm sure this has been discussed at nausium in here before regarding Winthrop basically being used for bostons official records 

Did anyone notice that the Logan reports and Winthrop reports are lock-step the same, even reporting times? Is it always like that? I know they're right next to each other but it seems strange that there wouldn't be at least a tenth of inch of difference. Is it the same person reporting for both locations but only actually possibly reporting from one and sending in two different reports?

This was taken in a park in Eastie right next to the airport on the west side. Didn't measure. We'll see what Logan reports at 1am. What do you guys think?

Does anybody know how to attach pictures on here taken from an iPhone 6? I tried to attach one and it keeps saying that it's too big

The deathband is weakening/contracting.... so of course now I'm getting the heaviest snow of the day.

At least you're in it. It hasn't moved anymore east from the back Bay Area and probably won't while we smoke exhaust

7 minutes ago, ORH_wxman said:

Yes...you can see it happening out by ORH now...but that is good for eastern folks to try and kep the party going into after hours

 

 

The leading edge of the megaband hasn't moved its eastward progression for the past 30 min. Think we're gonna be shutout from it?

1 minute ago, ORH_wxman said:

It'll get you...there's really good F-GEN at 700-500 over E MA right now. That means the forcing is still strong so the bands should continue to generate as they slowly crawl eastward.

I really hope you're right. You are 95% of the time. I've just had 0 luck my whole life when it comes to banding 

5 minutes ago, ORH_wxman said:

Time for BOS to cash in now...looks like its finally getting there. That 128-495 zone just continues to get nuked

 

 

I don't know if it's gonna get to us in Eastie. Just in subsidence right now that will probably continue

Logan has been heavy snow since 8.   The 1pm snow measure should be fun.

I'm just east of Logan and we have at least 6-7in. Haven't been measuring, just eyeballing. Wouldn't be surprised to see a 10 spot at 1 pm IF this keeps up
