free_man Posted March 8, 2013 Author 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 I mentioned that a while ago, sun was dim and snow-melt with the echos over us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick-02540 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 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 LOL. It's kind of funny for me now. I mean, not if you live under it, but geez, look at this thing. 36 hours, no change. Just little dances 20-25 miles or so. http://climate.cod.edu/data/nexrad/BOX/N0Q/BOX.N0Q.20130308.1845.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Ginxys dryslut? Snowing good here the entire time with the exception of an hour or so where it lightened up before noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 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 Rollo I do not know if you missed my post. My obs last night. Winds would really roar overhead from the East I could hear them then bang a strong line would form to my west almost instantly,, my winds immediately slackened as I went into a dry slot Totally reminded me of down-sloping, air dried out then immediately forced back up, over and over and over this happened The temp would bounce back and forth inconjunction with the wind. Adiabatic processes that did not ease at all. I picture it as being lee side of a howling wind .The wind howls above you but right in front of you it drops and curls up throwing dirt up ward at you. The only issue is there are no mountains on the East side . Maybe just guessing there was a vertical slant slope to the winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin1927 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Went from Mod-Hvy snow to just a few flakes while shoveling and right away noticed some dripping/melting from the roof. Amazing storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone 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. And even they were the most bullish of all the local outlets.

Last night we had that here too and it wasn't really explainable. If you look at the snow map it happened in southern Plymouth county as well. Along 3a the temp would go from 35 to 32 with enormous winds, heavy snow on one side, meh rain on the other. You may be right it may be some type of turbulence almost like you see off the tip of an airplane wing but RI was on the downslope side of it.

BRSno Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Looks like things are slowing down here in Cambridge. Melting has started and snow rates decreased significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Moderate snow more melting than sticking though very light flakes, almost acting as rain in that you can see the holes in the snow where they land. melting is in full force, if I had to guess, by tomorrow night it's all gone. -skisheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSnowman Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 0"-4" on the Driveway, 6.5"-7.5" for the 44 Hours. 6" of fresh snow in the spot I only cleared 17 Hours ago after 3" was the total. About 10" Storm Total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb65 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Ended abruptly here, unbelievable storm.. still very light snow but basically done. Time to head out and do some shoveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I have dim sun and 36.4F up here in Central NH. As soon as your snow stops and the skies brighten temps will rise into the upper 30's down there. Flittered March sun is doing its thing and everything is melting like crazy. Watch how fast this settles and shrinks this weekend! Hope you enjoyed your storm. 2" up here. Missed every storm this season except the blizzard sideswiped us with 11". More seasonal snow down there than up there but I have had continual snowcover with my elevation and latitude. Let mud season begin!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 The RI dryslot was a combo of the s/w interaction and probably some sort of speed divergence issue. Because things really were stalled...the dryslot probably was stalled as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmj16725 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 We are done here as well. Just a snitch over 8.5" since last night - total for the event is 9" with the .5" from Thursday morning. First event of the year was 9" and the last may be 9". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msg112469 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Went from moderate snow and 30 to no snow falling and 38 during the past 30 minutes or so in Reading, MA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 The last time I recall this sort of steady state conveyor scenario that was this prolific was April 1997. For hours on end, level 3 green and 1 yellows pummeled inland from off the ocean during that event, and there were several hours of lightning and thunder in the Pike to Rt 2 corridor over eastern sections with that, where 30+" snow was maxed in a number of locations. This will fall short of that, but still ... and impressive conveyor event where once that moisture transport was established ... rare configuration of translating events aloft allowed it to persist unusually long.

Because things really were stalled...the dryslot probably was stalled as well. Imagine if that was over Ray's head? Heavy snow here now. One last gasp from the s/w before it dives down. Meh storm.

TalcottWx 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. Low totals as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Pretty crazy scene out the window in Boston...you'd think it was January with the way the snow is sticking to everything including pavement...at 1pm in March with a fairly stale airmass.
