SC48 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 10.5" Sounds a little low. Must be solid compaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 This season must be the most lopsided victory for Kevin over me on record...what an unprecedented stretch for him. This season is a lopsided victory for us all over last year. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Kev wind blowing off a roof on a table does add some, get ur Butt off the couch and go measure Yeah you always have to be careful of proximity to roof...esp when snow gets a bit more powdery. You can end up inflated a bit despite your yardstick telling you that you have 20". But regardless, I think theyll under up near or over 20" anyway. I just dont think they had 5" in less than 2 hours. Its ripping out, but not quite like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Ok I took a few measurements there's 18.5-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Band is about to swing into here, should start getting more intense in the next 15 minutes or so. .5" new last hour, when added to the 8.5" earlier and the .3" from yesterday morning, that gives storm total 9.3" here so far. -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Why the relative screwing? CRV shadow? Subsidence between bands? Borderline temps? All of the above? or None of the above? I really have no clue I actually haven't looked at anything since Wednesday morning. I spent all of yesterday working on homework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostonseminole Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 10.5" Sounds a little low. Must be solid compaction. yeah for sure, I will measure around the yard next time, likely at 12"+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 A bit more with compaction factored in? That's a deck measurement with no pre-existing snowcover prior to 5pm last night. My deck faces west and it's not very exposed to the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoons56 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Lol...that's where I am (not at this second though)...I wonder what other weenie lives on Winter Hill. Really!? I grew up on Winter Hill (and my parents still live there), Westport Rd right under the water tower. They're calling this a top 4 storm for them, behind '92, '97, and last month's blizzard.

SC48 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Will, Wouldn't the snow that the roof captured be on the ground though if the house and roof were not obstructing the snow falling in the yard or snow board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Just grabbed a board and put it in the front lawn, snow is starting to compact, and I want to be able to get an accurate measurement. Storm total is 9.3" plus the amount on the "snowboard"(I really need to make a proper one...) -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Airglow Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I can almost see the band moving in, visbility to my east rapidly decreasing from out my window, back to a steady moderate SN, SN+ should be soon. -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Will, Wouldn't the snow that the roof captured be on the ground though if the house and roof were not obstructing the snow falling in the yard or snow board? The problem is that snow falls on the snowboard, then snow falls on the roof and blows off onto the snowboard as well. So you get more snow on the snowboard (or deck, table, etc) than otherwise would have fallen. That's why it's never a good idea to measure too close to the house.

ORH_wxman Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I had 12" there at 8:00am and it's now 17". So 5" in 3 hours...not two. Sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 This is an overperformer.....but it didn't need to be. The models were very accurate on Cold & QPF as we got closer to the event. This feels like more of an overperformer because the Media didn't hype the storm. Right? I'm sure in re-analysis the red flag will be the anomalous deep layer easterly flow that resulted when that secondary mid lvl impulse came down and effectively "stretched" the flow around the seaward cyclone, creating this 12 hour period of moisture conveyance onto the coast. It's a unique sort of set up where the region of SNE was actually exceptionally lucky to be in the right place, at the right time for these events to have unfolded this way - ANY difference in timing/location of these atmospheric players and this would have fallen apart and been much less. Enjoy ... could be the last hurrah of the season, and what a cherry on top if it is, to go out this way! We'll see about the end of the week/next weekend - something sort of hinted in there. Tele's finally relaxing on the 00z layout, and the extended oper. model runs show a rather sudden filling of cold features (heights) - I see that every year. Some magical day in March where the switch is flipped on the models (talking about the extended). Wouldn't shock me if we see real, bona fide seasonal improvement rather abruptly in 10 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 6.6" storm total in West Hartford with liquid equivalent of 0.65". Not super wet! We really got screwed compared to other areas. No sympathy here lol. Outside of the highest elevations Franklin Co has a general 2-4" while places S and E of here have 5x that. Although in a all fairness we were never really forecast to be in this game. I feel worse for folks in RI where they should have gotten crushed. I still don't get that? I am just a little upset that I nearly get shut out of this one and I'm leaving for a week at Sunday River where they got 0.0" from this and have rain showers in the forecat all next week. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Airglow Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Just getting into that banding, what's the snowfall rate in the heart of it? Got to be an inch/hour plus? First bit is breaking up, but I think that's the wet snow hitting the dry air, since we have been SN- for 90 minutes or so. Should intensify shortly, SN right now probably about 1/2 sm. -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 With Worcester reporting 16.3" snow at 7 am., the combined February-March figure has surpassed 60". That's only the 4th time that has happened in Worcester. All three prior cases saw some accumulation of snow in April, as well. February-March Snowfall of 60" or More: 1. 70.1", 1967 (April: 7.3") 2. 63.8", 1993 (April: 2.8") 3. 60.9", 1916 (April: 5.6") 4. 60.7", 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
