ctsnowstorm628 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Wow, its amazing we didn't get more snow down here considering the storm went to our southeast by 100+ miles. Normally we would get it, but I bet the 700-850mb centers tracked pretty close to the South Coast of MA. One other note is that we were all snow yesterday despite easterly flow, but it never accumulated until later once the sun set. Not really. You were progged to have BL issues and mixing down there. ENE winds don't do well for the cape lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 27.1'' here as of 9 am this morning (average of 10 snow depth measurements in protected area. No drifts in these measurements) . Peak wind gust was 54 mph at 7:30 am. I was up all night and can confirmed full fledged blizzard from 12 am through 9 am. 4 - 6 foot drifts throughout the area. Currently, temp 10.9 F, winds N 27 gusting to 35 mph SN/BLSN Sounds right John, I have added another 1.5" since my last report, Going to wait to see what this current band does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Its been a blizzard here since 6am, 1/4 or less visibility throughout this period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 10:30 34.5" in Coventry CT in an area relatively free of drifting. Yeah I agree with that I am measuring nearly the same, though it's still dumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Another band 25 dbzs Down east getting smoked too. What a band. Back end of it here. Heavy snow. Probably 12-14" but there's no way anyone can get an accurate measurement. We definitely had a period of freezing rain overnight. There's 4-6" and then a solid sheet of ice. Makes if hard to measure because the dry fluffy stuff won't bite to the sheet of ice. Impressive back band and OES here. Shame it won't hang around much longer but can see winds backing more and more. How much up there? Someone in Maine going to break 30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENE winds don't do well for the cape lol Yeah, but it wasn't rain and that's a plus, might near 18" when all is said and done, with banding continuing to fill in before the mega band makes it here.

Damage In Tolland Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yeah I agree with that I am measuring nearly the same, though it's still dumping. It seems Coventry,Ellington, Tolland area all got 33-37 inches. Still haven't tackled my driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Compaction as well, The winds did not have much effect on snow growth here, We had lagre dendrites thru outIt's not so much the snow growth it affects, but the wind causes major blowing and drifting which breaks the crystals down. I had great snow growth for awhile too, but my cores have been under 10:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonWX Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Well over 2 feet here for sure. Measured an additional 14-15 inches since my last of 13 so around 27-28. Drifts are insane, over halfway up my shed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Storm total: Not sure? The winds were crazy for a time last night, measured another 5" on the snowboard for 13" total but that's not even close to correct, measuring in the driveway puts up numbers in the 12-14" range, and it was plowed with 6" on it before, so that would be 18-20" final. Not going to report a total to NWS because I can't be confident in it's accuracy, but if I had to would go with 19" as a total. Congrats to all with the 30" plus totals, truly an epic storm. I'll enjoy my 19", but can't help but be a bit jealous -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codfishsnowman Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The truth is that good snow growth will compensate for the wind when it's really ripping. Even if it's just pouring fine flakes, it piles up. What was amazing last night is we still had perfect dendrites despite gusts to 50 mph. right but it has to be ripping, before the snow really ramped up what looked like half mile vis shouldve been 1 inch hr rates was accumulating at about half the rate bc of the wind once we started to get into the darker greens on the edge of that band it piled right up despite the wind.

steve04074 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 All-timer for PWM ... awesome. I knew they had a shot given the CF snows yesterday morning. Morning, Eric! Wow! I dunno, though... There's a part of me that feels like we're sort of "cheating" by including the CF 10-11" in our total at Portland, you know? If that localized event hadn't happened yesterday AM and afternoon, we'd really only be at about 20" from the main event. What do you think? Is it right to count it all as "one" snowstorm for recordkeeping purposes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Congrats to Milford with 38" from this thing. You surpassed Toledos average seasonal snowfall at 37" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2Otown_WX Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 22.5" here seems to be a good number, tough to tell obviously due to drifting. Cars completely buried and the road has a foot of snow so that will be interesting to see how they handle that. Cannot believe the number of 30"+ totals, this came close to 1888 if not exceeded it in some places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 It seems Coventry,Ellington, Tolland area all got 33-37 inches. Still haven't tackled my driveway. Most of my neighbors started and then stopped and gave up after about 1 hour or so due to the heavy snow and high winds. My community is banding together and getting our driveways plowed. My driveway is close to 200' long and I don't have a snowthrower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is OT but yeah, it's been pretty damn consistent with that idk if people have been paying attention. Euro has the flow being very flat and takes it OTS so you would have to side with it I think, especially given what just happened.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
