Jebman Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I was like instantly frozen walking through the snow...I couldn't even take my pants off there was so much snow on my shoes and jeans. Shoes are soaked so no more outside for me tonight. This is going to be a chore to shovel...living on a corner street, the driveway has like 4' of snow, and 3 walkways...I don't even know where to put it actually. Call up Jeb - problem solved.

dryslot Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 I've probably only seen these conditions twice in my life to this point...blizzard of 96 and 12/9/05. I remember Feb 1969 but that was over a 2 day plus period, 1978 was not that big here, 1996 i believe was decent but this one would rank at the top here as far as intensity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I will note....that the east side seems to be expanding, while the west side essentially remains put..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 If I walked 2500 feet inland there would be substantially more snow otg than there is here where I can hear the waves on the beach. In that sense I agree with you. Jm1220 , neighbors have had their roofs damaged 3 times in 4 months. Inland a mile no problems. This one will have done a lot of damage. Cpick I don't think I see 12+ tonight. Hrr I think is on the crack Totally, and that's where this being a ton of snow can create a lot more problems. My roof lost a bunch of shingles from Sandy, some in my town had more damage and siding ripped off (the vast majority of damage we sustained was water related), but I can't imagine what 2 feet of snow in addition would have done. You guys have a lot more left in this and hopefully the wind aspect dies down soon (though I know it isn't progged to). Losing power is probably the most misery-inducing of them all though since we're in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Ugh... gorgeous deformation band so close yet so forever far away. Looks like it's trying to make another little push to the west in the last couple radar frames. Plz. Plz. Plz.CON must be getting blitzed. It is snowing 2-3"/hr, but it is probably all downhill from here. Another 20 miles and it would have been like Jan 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Blizzard conditions and very heavy snow with that line through NJ now as well. Superstorm is getting pummeled. This could boost the totals a bit for the NESIS calculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Those meso models love to create backside fantasies, though....I mean...20 ADDITIONAL inches......lol I don't think so...I thought it said 20 additional from 2z meaning 9pm on?

N. OF PIKE Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 that is some of the nicest rear end deform i've seen on a low since i've been following wx in this area. will do you think the progession of this deform slows or is just steady like it's moving now (For sne) while KLEW get's buried in feet upon feet to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Pretty awesome ML frontogenesis going on over E and C MA on a slightly different process vs the earlier CT band...that ealrier band was obscene WAA from the SE...this is the wind convergence with NW winds from NY State and still NE winds in the MLs in MA.

wxsniss Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Box reiterates what we've been saying, death band about 75 miles west of where progged, but moving eastward so not writing off higher amounts yet... Near term /until 6 am this morning/... 220 am update...the forecast remains on track. A heavy snow band extended across northern Connecticut and up the Connecticut River valley into southwestern New Hampshire has weakened from earlier. However...snowfall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour are still possible within this band with about a foot and a half of snow already on the ground. This may be the area where we end up having the highest snowfall totals. While the models are indicating banding...they are off on the location by about 75 miles... indicating it would be in the Boston to Providence corridor. As the low continues to progress northeastward...expect the band in the Connecticut valley to move eastward...so not willing to write off higher amounts elsewhere across southern New England yet.

TheSnowman Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 But Will, That Main Band is moving SO Quick now. I don't know how I see more than 4"-5" more from this storm unless that thing gets Wider AND Slows the hell down. OR, if New bands form behind it. I would love if all of a sudden that band turned into a Longer stretched version 12/9/05 as it slowly exist. We Have the Eye that is almost out to sea now, past Brockton.

ORH_wxman Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Wow, this is remarkable...it ramping up even more now as the band just enters MBY....this is literally almost zero vis, maybe 100-200 feet.
