ORH_wxman Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Wow. Pretty cool. LOL, funny we joked about how the euro was giving those amounts if you believed the output. It had like 0.25" QPF as snow by 12z I believe..on the 11/00z run. I never thought you would get 4.1", yesterday. Shows how things go right when you have some key features in place. Good steady lift, cold high pressure..and the mid levels a little cooler than progged. I'm just glad I never totally bought into the NAM...it def had me concerned. If I had totally bought it, my forecast would have been terrible...instead I only busted a little bit low. If you look at almost every over performer on front end thumps...they have a high up where we had it this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad we questioned it...well especially you since you had to forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 5.0" at home with snow/sleet falling. I'm rather disappointed in the total, thought it might be a tad more. Poor snow growth FTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Down to 32.9 here after we torched to 38 today, but still about 1/2 of snow left and more where the plows plowed up onto the lawns. Looks about 40% like winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I have been following this event just because I needed something to follow. It looks like it overperformed in some areas models often underestimate thumps. So congrats to all who can no longer complain they had a snowless winter, which is actually my favorite part of a snowless winter. So I'd be pissed if I had one crappy storm like this. I'm not sure if 06-07, and 01-02 might have been worse at this time. I don't remember all the nickle and dime events from those years. 1994-1995 was pretty bad also up until February.

ORH_wxman Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Couple more scenes before sunset You can almost see some of the sleet content and extra water in the snow...it has solidified though a lot in the past couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlantStick Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Somewhere around 5-5.5 here in Nottingham. Does not shovel as bad as I thought it would. Looks like winter again. Wish it would snow for the Pats game Sat. night instead of being just cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Congrats on getting up to 10% of your normal snowfall so far this winter. I would take 5% of his annual snowfall and be happier than a pig in S**T. Life is all about perspective. Plus i am so bored right now i am praying i get a snow squall tonight with the frontal passage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 ORH airport came in with 3.6" this evening...not far off from my 4.1". There were some really sharp gradients with this. We had virtually nothing at work, and Lowell looked like they had close to an inch. That's only like 8 miles west. It may not sound like a big deal to people, but usually Andover and Lowell are very similar. That little bit inland helped. Supposedly Sudbury had 2" and Natick had virtually nothing. Those two places aren't far away either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Bow Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 5.0" at home with snow/sleet falling. I'm rather disappointed in the total, thought it might be a tad more. Poor snow growth FTL. Id be willing to bet you had 6 inches there. The compaction with this storm was very noticeable at my house and I noticed Will mentioned something about it to. Peak depth was just under 5.5 inches and I had gone out to measure again just to see and it had gone down the better part of an inch in only a couple hours with no rain just a little sleet.

Whatever. This storm was supposed to be a rainer according to you and the other misguided warministas. Your team is a shambles, they might not make the playoffs again....ever.

Yeah and around here, elevation obviously helped...but even the N/S gradient must have been really tight at same elevation since the snow/sleet line was rotting over southern Worcester for good time this morning while the snow was falling hard. I imagine places like Millbury and Sutton just to the south of ORH got like 2 inches or maybe even a little less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
