ROOSTA Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Needles falling....started 7:30am Make a stab call at ending sometime Sunday morning. Stab/Needles, big incoming ! All hands on deck, feet too in this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIcoastalWX Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 33.0/28 - Light Snow - Heavy coating - WInds have veered a bit to the ENE and occasionally NE. Although it's above freezing, the consistency of the snow does not appear to be wet and in fact is powdery and is blowing off the roof. Very odd.

butterfish55 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Light snow/ flurries.... Sitting I a good spot here, 30" , give or take, incoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlacroix4 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 3 inches on the nose here. This is a really nice boost for my area. However, it seems like it may be even higher than 20-1 ratios which means it will compact big time under the weight. This storm will have to be measured in intervals clearing the area. That is exactly what I am doing. 7 degrees here, cold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 mid teens light snow with no radar returns. envious of you guys over in southern maine....awesome start and you will go over 2 feet with 4 inches down already. What is creating the snow in s me? Good to see it snowing with no returns....I guess that means we are moistened up and when the real bands get here we will go straight to moderate and heavy snow.

The east component other then the GFS does not concern me, The key for us up here is the northern component, How far north we get this to come before the stall and the ENE movement there after, The euro came further as well as the 06z nam, Both models bumped up the qpf numbers here which is substantial by .25"-.50" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 This is some high ratio stuff. I think our 7 AM measurement was 80:1. Piling up out there, already seeing 15-20 car accidents on 295 north of Falmouth, ME. Really handcuffed at the office too. Blizzard warnings don't begin until 2 PM at the earliest, but we probably hit warning criteria snows before then. Don't want to issue a double headline and confuse people.

A stall near or just east of the cape would give 2 feet plus to us. I see you and I are in the same 18-24 band but very close to the 24+. I am like 15 miles nw of 24+ and I think you are close to that as well. Going to be awesome once the stall happens, to see how long it stalls.

I think people will just look out the window and get that it is starting to get heavy earlier than expected. wouldn't worry about that. very excited that you expanded 24+ almost back to me. fingers crossed. a great sign to be starting a storm with light under the radar snow. It is usually the opposite, as we agonize while the virga rages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick-02540 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 2-3 feet region-wide, 6-8' drifts, 90mph gusts. I hope we all make it through this, and may God have mercy on the souls that do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
