Ginx snewx Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Phil may be on a hot streak. He was quick not to write this off like 5-6 days ago and he said Boston will hit and perhaps exceed climo snow before the end of winter is over. Im almost there. I saw his tweet, his house is 52 degrees. Many of us believed in this storm. Euro Ens had this storm in some way or another for about 12 days.

CT Rain Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 For New England, I think we've really only had one true "once in a lifetime" event recently and that was the October 2011 Snowstorm. This current storm is probably a once per 30 year type storm though so it was certainly rare, but most will see a storm like this more than once in their life. We've def had our share of very big and impressive events as a whole though recently. Some very impressive snowstorms in just the past 3 years. Yeah for ORH/BOS this was more of a 1 in 20 yr kinda storm but here in CT we've managed to pull out 2 once in a lifetime events lol. Part of the reason for that is your climo has many more "big" 30+ events than we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Was a good storm here, but Jan 11 and Oct 11 were better imby. I'm not a huge fan of wind with snowstorms, but it was cool nonetheless. Another 15-20 miles west with the deform band and I'd probably be singing a different tune. Regardless, there's a lot of snow out there and it found every nook and cranny to blow into. The BLSN has made it fairly dense so it should be around for awhile.

Yeah, it certainly feels like we've had an unusual frequency of anomalous events since 2011: Jan 2011 snowbanks, the Springfield long-track tornado, Irene, the Halloween snowstorm, winter 2011-12 near futility record / warmest winter on record, Sandy. It's a mixed bag, and obviously not reason to favor other anomalous events. But feels like an incredible stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 ORH now at 63.5" for the season. 6" shy of climo for the whole winter and a lot of time left. What a storm. I'm at 56.1", so not too far off I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the reason for that is your climo has many more "big" 30+ events than we do. it's really crazy when you think about it, i mean april 97 gave areas 30 inches in E MA so did jan 05 , and now this drop'd nearly 30 in some town in E ma again. there is prolly a storm i'm forgetting as well. It just seems 30 in snow for EMA are now not as rare as they used to be, i think some of this is actually "new measuring technique / every 6 hours, instead of wandering out after compaction and sticking a ruler in" (can add at least 10-12% to storm total) but also i think we are in a more volitile pattern that is in a sense more "anomalous" and that goes for heat waves and "mid latitude cyclones IMO" speculation , but just seems more frequent in nature. BTW anyone know what ORH/ BOS/KTAN had for qpf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW anyone know what ORH/ BOS/KTAN had for qpf It may not matter since there had to be significant undercatch due to the winds. I had way more liquid than CON and PWM from my melted core cample. ORH only had 0.68" and BOS 0.50" from the ASOS, but it looks like BOX and GYX adjusted the amounts to 10:1 or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I ran this morning which was a mistake. Body is broken from shovelling. The mounds if snow are just pure nudity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Awsome map, Jayhawk. That purple "bullseye" over central Orange Co., VT is my whopping 10.5". CTBlizz--I can relate with the broken body. The winter of 07/08 just about destroyed my body up here with 150" of snow and as much as 49" otg at one point. That was a year of heavy heavy plowing, snowblowing and shoveling for me. 1700' long driveweay and all. Great storm for you guys down yonder. Not bad up here and was fun to watch from afar...

CoastalWx Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Seeing totals near 30" around here. Indeed I might be conservative with my guess, but shoveling would support the high amounts...jeez. Can't stress how bad it is to my south. I'm seeing Facebook posts for people asking for help. Roads impassable still with trees everywhere...I mean everywhere. Now its near zero there. Bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 07/08 was our benchmark year ..I had 135"ish and my driveway-side snow piles were approaching 10' in height without Rev-inspired sculpting. Good times ... good times ... Oh, should also note that map is only thru 10am yesterday, so that is far from a final image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin1927 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 What a storm. Roads are still a mess down to one lane. Nowhere to put all this snow. Wouldn't be surprised to see many communities cancel school for tomorrow as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
