Day 39 in-a-row of solid pack on Cape Cod. I'm happy we'll at least get to 40, which doesn't happen very often. Looks like we can get to 43-44 before melt armageddon.
It was. And I do sympathize with the Blizz 78 comparisons, because if this did occur about 50 miles south as some earlier model runs suggested..I think it would have rivaled or surpassed it and over a larger swath of land.
Like everyone, I do remember it trending north on each news broadcast, and seeing the rain/snow graphics along the south coast being introduced. I knew I was then toast as a young 17 yo weenie. Lets get this again but capture it about 75-100 miles south.
If the 41" is wrong, its probably not far off and closer to the 36-39" range. You're going to get these variances in measuring with large storms like this.
I'm ready to warm up and close the shades til around St Patrick's day for one last chance at something worthwhile.
Unfortunately I think we are due for an ick Spring, especially with those SSTs
Pack from Jan 25th through Feb 28th+ must be some kind of record here on the Cape. 2015 was great but had a few skunkers in early February iirc. And as historic as 2005 was , I'm not sure we accomplished that. So it has been at least 21 years.
Of course, I moved from here to Sandwich in 2020.
and
Of course, I wasn't in Sandwich for Jan 27, 2015
Missed both maxes due to bad timing.
I won't complain much outside of those two storms though. For instance, 2/14/15 was epic in Acushnet
Was that also the 32.1° wet bulb storm for many well inland, resulting in heavy rain. Could be mixing it up, but I remember there being a benchmark storm around then that left a lot to be desired
It did. It was a little rough being on the outside looking in for that 3-4 hour stretch, where it was like .5-1.5"/hr while just over the canal and beyond as 3-4"/hr but we did dance with good echoes often...especially the first half of the storm, and last several hours.
Oh I see what I did. I referenced the ESandwich Cocorahs..not the COOP. The ESandwich Coop (21") definitely sounds more reliable than the CoCoRahs report (31" and 5" of qpf ) Sorry for the confusion!
