hooralph Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Flakes have gotten smaller and lighter again - visibility way up, but expect it will get heavy again. By my estimate, about 6 hours to go on precip for BOS? That sound right? My estimate is precip is moving at 50 mph and has 300 miles to cover from NE PA. Would seem a good bet to add 4-6" on top of whatever we have now (and I have no idea what we have now). If we get 10" today I'll be happy and can let the sleet solidify the pack tomorrow.

moneypitmike Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 We've been in the heavy snow for a few hours it seems. Been on the phone all morning--hope to measure soon. Schools let out in 3 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 don't think it's ever truly been S+ here this morning...just continuous light to moderate stuff but it's adding up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 So Noyes is wrong? No plowable snow for most of SNE Saturday? I believe you can have plowable snow with sleet and zr accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 i wonder how much Will has. Id say almost 5. I had 3.3" 50 minutes ago and hes 10 miles or so NW of me. I'll go measure in a few minutes. I expect to be around 4.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Part of me wonders if this low level cold hangs tougher than modeled in places near the coast and perhaps down in interior sw RI and srn CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 the radar is pretty misleading here..after that little dry patch came through the snowgrowth became terrible and the visibility is high. heavily rimed flakes ftl. Same here bark is worse than the bite in this last band. How much do you have on the ground, could really use the ob Will measure in 15 mins, but it looks like 3" based on a couple of quick measurements out back.

Baroclinic Zone Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 So Noyes is wrong? No plowable snow for most of SNE Saturday? Nothing noteworthy, no. I'll eat crow, if I must.

I expect to be around 4.5". I could see that...there is a nice band back through Springfield to ORH. I just thought 7.75" seemed a bit high...but perhaps not.

snowman21 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 okx drops WSW and puts up WWA on the coast and ice storm warnings just inland, not good if you enjoy power. We'll see. It's tough to get meaningful freezing rain accretions right on the coast. If you're between the Merritt and 84 it could get tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Dude...you are the one sitting here calling out people's snow totals, I showed you pictures - and then you said nothing. Is this a high school boys club?? Come on... it seemed a bit high...don't take it personally. Nice pics...you have been in a decent band from Springfield to ORH..I was surprised that anyone had almost 8" already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 according to the nyc thread temps over nyc and western li are now dropping back as coastal front slides se, with this northerly flow I dont see how the ct shore will get above freezing tonight into tom morning, could be a decent ice storm for the southern half of the state.
