SC48 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 As of 1:00PM Logan International had about 13" of snow and that is right on the water. Go a hop, skip, and jump inland and you see 15-16" Dorchester. Back Bay, West Roxbury and so fourth. You get the Drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisStraight Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I am still fascinated by that screw zone/grass hole over central RI all day yesterday, overnight, and today. Do we have any idea what caused that? Someone is going to study that, understand the science behind it, and get the honors of naming it after himself. Like a NorLun, etc. But then, I'm not sue anyone would want his name attached to such a thing. Snowman said Paul Kocin couldnt explain it, sucks for those people, seems the northern part of the state is playing catch up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 With the 13" and counting at Logan Airport, its the first March event over 12" since Mar 31- Apr 1, 1997 for KBOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvic Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 It stopped snowing in Princeton MA. A few tiny raindrops (melted flakes?) are coming down. Every time it seems the sun will break through, it gets darker again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSnowman Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Snowman said Paul Kocin couldnt explain it, sucks for those people, seems the northern part of the state is playing catch up though. He couldn't but he said he will look into it. Has to be something with how the precip. Was hitting us and the land, because as the storm changed over the lat 24 hours, the Screw Hole didn't. As I said. As long as this storm is remembered for THAT, I'll be ok. And if I get a foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 guys, you might be in for a little bit of a surprise. The N 10 or so miles of this shield is dry at the sfc... Wasn't expecting that, but we end in Ayer abruptly an hour ago with level 2 green over us. This may work its way S - don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Love the 1 pixel of 24-30 on the BOX map! Who would have thought that someone would get 2 feet with this??? Snow has slowed here. Looks like we are done accumulating, might get some more light stuff, but time to call it a storm as far as accumulation goes. Time to do a little math and guesstimating to get a storm total for here. I'm going to use the grass, paved areas are 2" less or so. At 10 AM, we had 8" OTG. At 1 PM, we were down to 7", however, it's been light, steady snow. It's also been melting steadily. The .3" we had in the morning yesterday melted in 30 minutes or so, temps are similar now, so lets say melting is .6 per hour. 3 hours of melting at .6 per hour is 1.8. since the snowpack only decreased 1", we had .8" new in those 3 hours. we also have to account for settling and compaction overnight, I'll add an inch for that and for the .3 from yesterday. So, we have 8"+1"+.8"=9.8" rounding up to 10" because I think compaction might be a bit more than .7" So, storm total 10" unless anyone can prove otherwise . 10" also correllates well with reports from others in my general area, both on the forum and in the PNS from upton. Fellow SW CT posters, what did you end up with? This was a great storm, what was not great was how Upton handled it. They usually are great, but not so for this, they busted way too low, and then issued a WSW really after the worst of it was over here. Not sure how they think it's going to accumulate 3-5" today, it isn't accumulating much now, let alone at 6 PM. Overall a great positive bust, really a nice way to send winter out in style! -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 the RI screwhole was actually well modeled by the mesos in real time...so at least something in the physics that is known. Notice how the center shifted to SRI as the axis shifted, it really is amazing and unprecedented in my 56 years of living and studying SNE weather. I have never seen Tan get a foot Oakdale Ct get a foot, Brooklyn Ct get a foot and PVD-WST area get an inch all in the same storm with the same BL layer.

That's the mysterious part of it. It didn't really move with the change in wind directions at the surface and aloft. Totally bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 3" during the day yesterday, 6" overnight storm total 9" Boscawen NH prob would have been more if I got up and measured earlier, as it is very quickly compacting here. no complaints from me, i was expecting 5-6" but have to say i am very jealous of you guys in SNE You are in Boscawen? I'm just down the road 4 miles....We got only 6 here, you guys got into some heavier echoes I guess, a little further se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC48 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 After seeing that new KBOS snowfall map my southern Wilmington area will probably verify the low end of that 18-24" Meaning 18" if measured every 6 hours with compaction of about 14-15" ond ground. Very SOLID SNOW THAT IS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 There are now spots in 18-24 that I think were 2-4 about 24 hours ago. That's unbelievable. I cannot remember a high bust of that magnitude ever in my lifetime out of Taunton, JMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 At 1 pm, Boston's snowfall was 12.8". That brings the February-March figure to 46.8" (6th highest figure on record) and seasonal total to 55.6". Boston's March figure of 12.8" is the highest for that month since 2005 when 14.5" fell for the month. ORH has not provided any additional reports since 7 am when the Airport reported 16.3".

Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 This was better than the 12z run which was wetter than the 6z run. Whoops. GFS forecast for Kevin was 2-4", he gets 24", not bad for a 12 hour lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Not sure how much more will accumulate with my temp at 33 but I just measured 7.8" since 0700 for a storm total of 20.5.". There's 18" on the ground. I'll have to look but I don't think I've had a single storm record measurable snow over three 24 hour periods. I did a little shoveling and you can clearly see the different layers - wet, dry, wet but it's not too bad moving around. It packs well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
