ORH_wxman Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Picked up .5" last few hours...total of 4.8" now but still terrible compared to everyone around me. Man, even your house in Shrewsbury with lower elevation than the center of town did better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Euro did set the bar for you guys, Glad it worked out, Some of last nights post were uncalled for, These troughs scenarios are a forecast nightmare as you know to well, But can't go on what has happened on the past, This one had decent model support a couple days out Meh, a few "storm cancel" or criticisms about our forecast won't bother me (unless we made a legit mistake or laziness, etc). I'm usually my own harshest critic anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Elevation was huge around here too...just back from driving and down 400 feet lower it was probably 3" less than at 900 feet.Yeah probably less then 5" at my house...maybe 5.5".

weatherMA Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Man, even your house in Shrewsbury with lower elevation than the center of town did better than that. Plymouth sucks. My house had 5.5" probably. Hopefully the even Wednesday does better here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subdude Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 pic I took earlier at 4:30 our blue spruce. Still coming down at a good clip but looks to be winding down on radar. Been snowing for 19hrs here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 More SWFE ish may help you out That ripping east wind may be an issue for Plymouth. Though they should still do decent in this next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 That ripping east wind may be an issue for Plymouth. Though they should still do decent in this next one. That's a pretty good easterly LLJ progged, looks like downsloping NW of the Whites will be a real problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 That's a pretty good easterly LLJ progged, looks like downsloping NW of the Whites will be a real problem. So 5" for me and 11" for Dendrite again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomNH Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Plymouth sucks. My house had 5.5" probably. Hopefully the even Wednesday does better here. Eh did better than here. We must've been sucker-holed all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 So 5" for me and 11" for Dendrite again? Could very well be. Just took a big power hit here at the office. It was about the slowest I've seen the generators kick over, and we've lost power quite a few times here on the hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Looks like a nice even 12" will be the final total for here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Through 7 PM this storm makes CON the 2nd snowiest February off all time, and PWM the 5th snowiest. We'd need serious help from the midweek storm to dethrone 1969 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 This event should be a good lesson that not all inverted troughs produce a skinny heavy band of precip while everyone else gets light amounts. Usually when decent synoptic moisture and upper level support is there, these types of inverted troughs can produce large areas of warning snow.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Very light snow still falling here and there is a bit over 1" of snow OTG, 29F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Latest core sample is 0.8" new with 0.07" liquid. Still some -SN falling with a temp of 29F. Storm total is at 12.9"...we will probably get enough to make it at least an even 13.0", but I'm not staying up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 It was epic, I missed more school that month then any year throughout The coop in Reading, MA near Ray had 64" that month...destroys any record month here in ORH...that is really impressive. I think its a top 3 monthly total all time for anywhere in MA for coops/airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a top 3 monthly total all time for anywhere in MA for coops/airports. PWM could conceivably climb to 2nd snowiest February if the midweek storm pans out, and still be a foot less than 1969. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 This storm had some good mid levels going for it which helped reduce the middle finger potential. Definitely not a sharp inv trough that we think of, but the low level convergence wss there with N-NE winds vs NW winds. It went as expected here anyways. This storm will be remembered for bringing out some of the more hair pulling forecasts I've ever seen from local outlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
