40/70 Benchmark Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Just a dusting last hour....7" is the final total. 26.4/25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisStraight Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 This will prob settle to 9-10" by mid next week. The snow is light. Sublimation and compaction will take its toll. But we'll finally get really cold for you guys in the radiational cooling spots....not me of course, but it will still be colder than otherwise without fresh snow pack. Thats the only negative of being on a high spot, I remember one night a few winters ago I got to -2 , I drove to an appt early that morning and when I went through East Brookfield it was -16, they were reports in other areas lower than -20 that night.

I reguarly see Indian Lake (in north Worcester) at -15F when I'm near 0F. Esp with snow pack. Indian Lake is 350 feet lower than me and in a nice basin. They are a classic elevated radiational cooling spot.....but I wouldn't trade it for what I saw on 2/24/10....they had like 6" of glop when I nearly had a foot.

40/70 Benchmark Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 There are elevated valleys that get the best of both worlds...like Pete's spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 4.4" total here...most was from the early banding. Nice storm for you guys down there...at least I was close enough to be involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 There are elevated valleys that get the best of both worlds...like Pete's spot. Yes he is primo...also there is a valley in N Holden near the Princeton line that regularly gets to -20F in the winter while accumulating obscene snow pack that makes me look like NYC. They are around my same elevation at over 900 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthlight Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I'm not disagreeing with you that is a climo good spot...but we sometimes get the shaft. Ala Dec 21, 2008....though we did mange 8" in that...but not your 13". ORH airport and my area does have good upslope though on easterly component wind events, so that def helps. This event though was lucky in the mid-levels...ORH was just far enough east to get the good banding. I was thinking earlier that you probably live in one of the best spots for synoptic snow systems on the East Coast and especially in SNE alone. In the NYC forum they make fun of my location since we've been extremely lucky since 2009...but your spot can win in almost every type of synoptic setup. I'm with Ray on this one.. don't think its a myth either...probably one of if not the the best climo spots for all types of systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well ORH does average more snow than anywhere in the country for people over 100,000 people that gets synoptics snows,,,,this excludes LES towns like BUF/SYR/ROC. So they are good...this doesn;t remove the fact that we have been lucky since 1992-1993. We are like 8-9" above climo since then....which is a lot for a 20 year period.

Kevin W Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Got just a bit shy of 9" here. 14.25" on the season brings me over the 13" I got all of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Where is that Cyclone dude who says BOS won't get anything before New Years? lol...glad you guys got some snow and can also enjoy having white on the ground. It certainly wasn't a lock that it would snow before New Years, though. I know you guys will call out everyone that punted, but it's Dec 29-30, lol. Not exactly a slam dunk with plenty of time to spare. Like everyone telling Blizz they won't hit 90F in July only to get to 90.5F on the last day of the month haha.

Blowing hard and still snowing up here this morning. Drifting is severe. Huge drifts up the sides of buildings exposed to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like a stat being tossed around as part of the lead-in to a Superbowl. "No team has ever one the Superbowl if their bus got a flat tire on the way from their airport and the game was being played in a domed statdium". Congrats all on the storm. Washington County in ME into New Brunswick is being spanked! Expect we'll have some of this snow blowing a bit today. Enjoy 22.0/18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work... looks like you and Coventry jackpotted... but the jackpot area was quite large almost the entire eastern half of the state from 8-12".
