dendrite Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 sick band crossing through the city now, this traffic cam not far from me Yup...you got into some of the deformation banding on the northern periphery like I had on previous storms this winter.

cpickett79 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 still 26.5 f here FZR looks like it will warm to 30 by noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Even is this event that probably should have been more here...you get more in E MA. I'd need a powerful Noreaster tracking about through ORH to ever pull even on season snowfall probably. HAH My season snowfall is gonna be around 60" after this event. I'm @ 75.5". 33" Depth. I want those next two because my record is 40" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ended up with 4.2". The last .8 was sleet on top of 3.4 of snow. zr with a few pellets mixing in...23F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOSTA Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 HVY icing, accretion rate unseen as such. In fifteen minutes watched icicles off flower stand drop to a 1/4 inch. Unreal.

Benchmarkbuoy Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 From the begining of this storm, more life a few days prior to this stor< I was really questioning that given our climo, how the northeast was goingt o produce 18-24 inches from a storm that gave Chicago a blizzard. It just does not happen. It was kind of like the mets lost thier mind and got cuaght up in this crazy winter and said "well, everything else is overperforming...so let's go with the trend." Even last night I look ed the shape of the fully mature system in the midwest and all I kep saying to my brother was that there was no way that just the front end of that low was going to produce those total without any redevelopment along the atlantic. The onyl way stoms from the southwest produce high amounts here are in a perfect Miller B where there is a full transfer from the parent low to the coast and then the coastal bombs. This could not have been further from the case, and this was apparent even as of yesterday afternoon that there would not be any coastal development. In addition, local mets had long since pegged Wednesday as total doom and gloom for everyone and never really acknowledge that the timing of both of these waves of precip were about 6-8 hours ealrier than expected. I gues what I am trying to say is that there was NEVER a chance that the 18-24 would verify but even if those maps were put out two day ago...they public should have been more aware that this was not going to meet even half that criteria is 90% of the area so that schools and businesses could have planned better. A lot of issues with the timing with the precip led to school doing the exact wrong dismissals..school dismissing ealry yesterday to have kids being driven home during the worst part of the storm (way worse than anything today by the way) and then cancelling school for today as easrly as 12 PM yesterday in places that woke up to bare, wet roads. Not a good storm in terms of the local mets and TV in my opinion. Just because a few towns in NH are going to scratch and claw to the absolute low end of thier foreacast range does not = verification. Most maps from all major networks had the majority of MASS north of the turnpike, avergaging a total of about 15 from both storm... 95% of locals will not break double digits between the two events.

Logan11 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I figured the deformation would get into Montreal, but now I guess it's gonna get the Laurentian ski resorts also.

weatherwiz Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Wiz...1/8" ice in Blackstone...probably peak given temperature. Thanks.

leesun Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 We are not getting screwed this year. This makes up for the last 4 years of being screwed. Let's put this in perspective. I now have gotten 6' of snow in the last 5 weeks! Incredible! for us in the screwhole valley we are over 30 now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organizing Low Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I figured the deformation would get into Montreal, but now I guess it's gonna get the Laurentian ski resorts also. you are right, there was a superband, that setup just south of Tremblant, it was worse than the band here in the city LOL total model failure in that regard, not even close.

Nate Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I just watched my temp SOUR from 30.5 to 38.8 in 20 minutes, I even think there's something wrong with the thermometer even though it's well away from the house and 1 foot off the snow pack. It's crazy... Northwest arlington is 31 and heavy ZR, down closer to medford/somerville is 33 and rain, tight gradients in the boston suburbs.

Agree with most of what you said except for this - since event 1 overperformed for many, the 2 event total is 10" from south shore up to the MA/NH border and >10" as you move up from there. Even boston got right about 10" on the nose. Kinda arbitrary to choose double digits as the cut off but just saying, 10" was actually surprisingly quite common and anomolous for all the same reasons you said about 16"+ being ridiculous forecasts.

Logan11 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Well despite the fact that this storm is an accumulation bust, and despite the fact that ALB has been getting off easy on most of these events... The people in the immediate Albany CD area still think they are having a harsh winter because it has been so many years (2003-04) since the last normal or above winter. From the begining of this storm, more life a few days prior to this stor< I was really questioning that given our climo, how the northeast was goingt o produce 18-24 inches from a storm that gave Chicago a blizzard.

weatherwiz Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 meh it's alright...there isn't a lot more ZR available to accumulate anyway. Yeah were probably winding down so we'll avoid any major issues...I'm wondering what's going on in southern CT though...away from the areas that have gone above 32F...haven't heard anything. Now the issues are just the roof collapses...have to be close to 8-9 on the day and about 15 or so for the past two days in the BOX area alone.

dendrite Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Vsby def less than a quarter here. Interesting mixture of small flake snow and gently falling large aggregates It's probably 1/8SM here right now. Vis is lower than my 1/12 deformation band. This is really intense.
