Logan11 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I'm looking at ugly bare brown grass over half my exposed back lawn because whats left is the pre-February 25th storm base and all that had blown off there over time. Wooded area out back where it is constant probably has a good 8-12" left. I bet we lost 8 inches since yesterday morning...quite a debacle. It's tough to gauge when you aren't there, but it sounded like you should still have at least patch work snow. Still snow in the woods here, but typical sun torch areas are melted, at work.

Damage In Tolland Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 did you give up on snow yet? Haven't given up no..I still think we see 1 or 2 more fairly significant snowfalls late March/early April.. But I am certainly not optimisitic of anything the next 10 days. Day 10 Euro looks like most of the US is setting up for a huge torch on the Euro ..which is exactly what the ensembles have been showing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Ok..so maybe 6-10 left? Worst case scenario I think I'll be down to 15-20"...but I'm leaning closer to 20". I've lost about 6" so far I'd estimate. Maybe I'll go out and measure in a bit. I put the manual rain gauge out earlier and almost killed myself walking on my water covered ice driveway. Hopefully that at least melts back down to the dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpickett79 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 is it possible this front moves back west a bit this evening as the neg. tilt LP rides up it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveyLeonardFan Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Down to about 50/50 coverage here. Awful. Even the snow that's left just looks like **** and is going fast. I'd say average depth is 6". 51.4/49, rain. The temp is down from 55F earlier so that should limit damage Do you live in the north part of Worcester or the southern part? I thought you guys would have more left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb65 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 It'll be interesting to see how it looks when I get back tomorrow morning. You seemed to start losing your pack quicker the past week. The elevation line started getting more noticeable. I'm expecting the snowy side of streets to retain the pack and the torch side to have significant bare spots. I'll post pics either way tomorrow. There could be a tight gradient later tonight with the front...temps could get into the lower or mid 30s in N ORH county while S and SE areas of the county stay torching. Amazingly even though almost all snow is gone here - the snowy side of the street still had a solid 1 ft snow bank on it that isn't melting terribly fast despite a high temp of 63 imby today. I expect it to be gone by tomorrow morning though once the rain rolls in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Steady snow and 29F. Visibility has been between 1/2sm and 3/4sm. All surfaces white again, no problem sticking to roads at this intensity and temperature. I just left the ski resort where there was just over 1" at the 3,000ft snow board. Snow depth at that location is 48", down 7" since Thursday, but we should make that up with no problem tonight. We've been due for a solid March snowstorm... bout time March stepped back into the winter months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Do you live in the north part of Worcester or the southern part? I thought you guys would have more left. I'm in eastern Worcester (actually Shrewsbury, but right on the border with Worcester). There's maybe a little more then 6". Exposed areas have 1-3" with plenty of bare areas, with higher drifts of up to 6"+. Protected areas have 6-12", but even there there are bare patches showing up. I'd say the average might be more like 8", but the 50% coverage is accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpickett79 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 i think the flooding might over perform tonite especially in areas Along and just SE of where front settles. hoping wachusett can sneak on the N side of front. otherwise it will be epic ponding.

moneypitmike Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 At least the cold is spilling over the Greens. Perhaps that will help cool things down quickly once the wind shifts. 45.5/44 .25" so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Wind has gone pretty much calm here, suggesting the leading edge of the front must be getting closer. I had a good S wind at 10-15 MPH with 20 MPH gusts earlier. Once it comes through, we will switch to the NW. Given how cold air is spilling over the Greens N of here, this could bode a little better for areas just E of me. We'll see how it transpires...

Temp drops are much slower east of the Green Mountain Spine... but this is norm for the climate in this area. Champlain Valley can bleed cold air like no where else under the right circumstances... big wide open valley surrounding by 4,000ft+ terrain on either side just funneling that cold southward.

powderfreak Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 LOL at yesterday's NAM runs that tracked this low up way into the interior and showing Buffalo to Syracuse and Watertown getting over 2 feet. Some people were saying the NAM could be right because of the convective processes but once again, we see that it is just an inferior model. GFS nailed this the past couple days, IMO. Actually I think the UKMET had the best solution (it was the furthest SE yesterday) and looks like its SE solution with a track over eastern SNE (BOS) will be correct. Those poor folks in Buffalo and western NY that were looking at almost 2" of QPF on yesterday's NAM runs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 You can clearly see on both the HRR and ARW and now the 18z NAM exactly where the front will stall tonight...Extreme NE CT/NW RI up to west of BOS .Very little precip east of there in the warm sector..Interesting to see how this plays out temp wise late tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
