40/70 Benchmark Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Woburn is a pit. Further south in Stoneham a little higher up, everything was covered. I didn't go down that far....just to Woburn ctr. Talk me off the cliff RE Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Still snowing good here, with another fresh slushy dusting. Might actually end as snow here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 in our area I think it was something like this below 500': 1" 500-600': 1.5" 600-750': 2" 750'+: 2-3" That's pretty similar to here, though I think I'd put the 2" contour slightly higher. Probably more up over 700 feet. Looks like ORH airport had 1.3" a bit over 2 hours ago...that was before that nice last burst and during the end of the one before that, so they should have finished over 2". But who knows if they will measure again. I had more than that though by 2pm, so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Light rain and sleet here now. Tiny pellets. Snow cover is back on all of the bear spots. Nice little event. Biggest March event since 2008. Hopefully we get one more that tops 2007. edit: NWS Taunton got amounts right on the money out this way. They've down well all winter in W. Ma.

CoastalWx Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 The 900-950mb was very cold so it wasn't suprrising that a lot of places on the CP never even mixed with rain at the onset, they just started off as straight snow. There were two inhibitors today for getting a bit higher amounts...the daytime aspect with the sun angle....which wouldn't matter too much except for #2...the snow intensity. Snow never really got heavy except maybe in very brief bursts. It was mostly a moderate snow or 3/4 SN-. Its tough to slam that into the Mar 21 sun angle at peak day light...if it was +SN, then it wouldn't have mattered. I personally thought we'd see a little bit more wide area of heavy snow that woul dlast for an hour or two straight. But that never quite materialized. Still, it was fun to get the monkey off the back for March at least and ~2.5" wasn't too bad for here. A lot of elevation dependency though for accumulations. Not ptype. Yeah we sort of had the DS race in on the srn side of the vortmax as radar started to look a little ragged in eastern NY State, but at least it tried to redevelop again and give you 2"+. The lower levels below 900mb are so vital this time of year, around here. That's the layer to diagnose for snow potential, because models will never handle a situation where we wetbulb from 40F to 32F. They'll always have a wide area of 34 or 36F temps, when that happens. I never thought ptype would be the issue, but was more concerned about how the dynamics looked coming through here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Man elevation is huge. The hill about half a mile away still had a solid coating. It might be maybe 80' higher than where I live. Driving around town this afternoon 1,000 feet ..2 inches and trees plastered and still are 800 feet about 1.5 inches and snow on trees but meltin off between 650-700 feet 1 inch..no snow on trees below 500 feet..less than an inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 .8" on the flat glass table out back. That's what is there right now. I'm guessing we had at least an inch maybe 1.1" before it started melting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 What did you get March 1-2, 2009 Yup, my bad. Close to 8". i was thinking that storm was end of Feb. that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Amazing that Kevin's still ahead of Will YTD. I think with the upcoming pattern both will hit 100". I have a little more work to do, as I am at 84.9 after this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Way to go out on a limb. I wouldn't worry right now. Wait until tomorrow, but gun to weenie says even if you don't come close to jackpotting..you should get snow, probably more than today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
