Gust 91 mph IOSN3 and 94 mph Seabrook.  "Double" high tide at BOS on the gauge and it was fortunate the the storm tide did not coincide w/ high tide.

It was so flipped/wrapped up,  NYC got 20" snow on a NW.  7"+ rain total in SW ME which is an enormous rain total for a single storm in the winter month NEUS.  The CAA pattern was whacked w/ temps dropping sharply on the S Coast as winds shifted to the S!

CoastalWx liked the snow squalls all over the place for two days after the above as the upper low stalled right over the region!

I thought t was as Shapiro-Keyser cyclone (T-bone frontal fracture), which are rare in the NEUS, but I came across the paper recent and it was some weird hybrid thingee!  I attached the paper from GYX.

Look at the sfc analyses in the paper for the evolution of the sfc low.  Went from N-S to W-E axis in short order ("instant occlusion").

Also, on the last page, a list of the top 17 storm surges at PWM.  I thought the Bliz of 78 was PWM's highest, but 4 exceeded it and 2 others tied it.

You should have been on the board that night.  Messenger , Cape Cod Phil, Dendrite, EEK  and I pulled all nighters. We tracked a mesolow right over CC up to Boston Harbor then into Portland then a sharp left. With that movement we watched a meso 954 recorded by a buoy off shore NEMA. One after another buoys failed.  The main lp meanwhile was transversìng LI Sound. An incredible bizarre night. Eek filmed surge!

I’ll give him 58° and BDL 62°

South flow just keep that in mind ocean is like 38

So the areas he measured away from his neighborhood did have more snow. Seems they were generally 16-18 new snow otg and a decent amount of old snow which he clearly finds with the yard stick. So I can see the new snow compacting a few inches from the depth when the last flakes fell which pushes the total to say a roughly 20 inches when the snow stopped . I understand by measuring every six hours with those crazy rates , snow settling under its own weight , winds pulverizing the flakes, temps 29-33 causing a wetter snow etc one is certainly going to get bigger numbers for snowfall. But is the difference really ten to fifteen inches making storm total snowfall 30-35 inches? It just seems like a 30-35 inch snowfall would leave a depth of 24 to 30 inches on top of the old snowfall and then overnight and next morning til he got there to measure would find depths around 21 to 27 inches. I have never had a situation like this to deal with so I don't really know. Just seems like reporting 36 inches of snowfall and then not even twenty four hours later a settled depth of 18-19 inches is suspicious. I know the difference between snowfall and snow depth. Listen he is a lot but I think his researching the issue was more than reasonable and doesn't make him more crazy.

Blue Hill had 17 on the ground day before 24 total day of 28 otg next day. Its science

Today would be a great day to teach younguns how to bodysurf but um

The snow on my roof was a foot above that vent on Monday 

The snow crystals crushed reflect nicely

Yeah…not a fan, but par for the course up here to start March. I’ll be bitching on Monday for sure.

Skiers mid week with new pow. Man I miss it. Spending 3 days at the Jordan Hotel at Sunday river 23rd to 26th. 3 amigos who skied that week for 35 years having a non skiing last hurrah.  Hope we get smoked Ala March 01

My daughter loves crafts and I could use some Elmers so this is good timing. 

Thankfully it stayed on board and was our Mariano when Clemens ran out of gas.  Not glued  screwed or tatooed

 In general it becomes more tenuous the deeper we go into March for an impactful winter wx outbreak, obviously it can still happen. We know there have been some truly historic winter storms mid to late March. But it’s a back broken feel, I wouldn’t be too upset if we faded the opportunity. I wouldn’t kick a KU chance out of bed either. We’ll see

We have had last 2 weeks of March as big potential for a month. Let's do this

Euro op 2m temps have been shit…but yeah there will be some in and out cold. 

Then you get that 8 to 10 on the Euro Congrats Dendrite. 

Wind chills below zero after 50 on the weekend yuck

Unfortunately a waste 

Oh its only about snow now lol isn't a torch with 14 to 20 OTG bigger waste. Unless you like running water and eventually mud.

Remember when some astute posters said this was over? Torch sure but looking at the forest make sure you see the trees.

It's in old weather Coop Data but seems to not be there anymore for some reason. Don't know why it was taken off or discontinued. I took and overlapped of the '78 storm with '26 and even though areas in a relatively narrow band got 30"+ from this to the southeast, it appears that '78 still has a deeper and larger swath over a greater area.

78 had so much more w/e as well roads were tunnels

Def in your area for sure. Your area struggled a bit in December ‘02 after the 12/5 event. Not as bad as the coastline, but Xmas storm there was pretty sloppy and even the 1/3-4/03 storm was much higher totals northwest. So you didn’t build the huge snow pack that northwest of 495 in MA did. Pretty hard to beat Feb 2003 there though. I think the 2/7 event and PD II gave you 3+ feet. 

31 in Feb, 24 max depth in 03

Yeah in a lot of places it does, that was an extremely cold winter...it was a full degree colder than this winter was and this winter was no slouch...top 15 coldest at ORH airport since it went online 1948. I don't think it quite beats this year right near here though for snow cover. Though it's close....this year also beats that season for having a lot of days with pack >= 18". 

This year blows 03 away
