Patrick-02540 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 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. Heaviest snow of the day here now. The Last Hurrah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 One last hurrah for BOS. Temps near 40 here at work. Temps will rise tonight..lol. Yeah, the 850mb thermal field seems to just end up at +2 to +3 amid the various operational models as this pulls away. We are now in the time of transition season where days of a "certain" appeal will go above machine guidance, and probably bust most Mets ...albeit trivially, on the cool side. As is, the 12z NAM has a fairly discerned inversion showing up on the FRH grid for Sunday - understandable given the snow pack, and the ridge being right over head. Still, the diabatic heating is almost always under-estimated, sometimes more than less. I could see tomorrow nicking the mid 40s under sun and downsloping out of NW/N, because though that wind direction ... it's pulling rotted polar air on a katabatic trajectory. Decent diurnal tomorrow night over snow pack and calm wind, and then Sunday gets to 50 under sapphire blue and searing "Equinox" sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIcoastalWX Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 34.5/28 - Flurries starting up again. 2.5" is now down to 2". Yes... that dry slot was (is) amazing... Not only did it not precip yesterday, it was partly to mostly sunny through most of the day light hours. Also, although the radar showed stronger echoes along the immediate RI coast and in South County last evening and even times this morning, there was no snow falling. It was once the lighter echoes made it over us that snow would actually fall. Truly amazing.... this is why we love weather!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowciopath Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Welp, looks like it's about done. Anywhere from 16-19 inches on the ground now, so I'll go with 17.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 you did this the last storm too...they measure right on the fricken water...what do u want them to do bring the snow from the city onto the snowboard?

jm1220 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 The 13" seems low for the coiy as a whole, but better than I thought there. Really thought that would be higher. Logan's spot right on the water probably hurts. That's honestly not much higher than some of our area has so far-NE NJ has up to 10" and spots on Long Island might end up with 12". Central Park with 4" as usual seems low since it pounded here in Manhattan for several hours and they only picked up 2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 you did this the last storm too...they measure right on the fricken water...what do u want them to do bring the snow from the city onto the snowboard? The use the Winthrop MA measurement and do not have an "official" observer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 The use the Winthrop MA measurement and do not have an "official" observer. I know they do...they measure on a peninsula that sticks out into the ocean. Several inches too low? I mean come on... The best you can say is it's not representative of the greater boston metro area...but it doesn't mean the observer sucks or is lowballing the measurement.

Well I know the area and I can't say if the guy is on the water or not. He probably did the best he could with blowing and drifting, but there was zero marine influence last night after 22z.

ma blizzard Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 32.1 / 32 flurries in shrewsbury, snow appears to be finally shutting off here. 4.5" new since 10:30 am, total of 21.5". The last snow 4.5" of snow since 1030 am is much wetter and denser than the previous 11" that fell between midnight and 1030 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 maybe sbos should go over to winthrop and take a measurement. or go teach the guy how to measure snow. You see a lot of that when it comes to official obs. But I also see very few people willing to volunteer to measure at the same spot (properly sited with no obstructions) within a reasonable distance from the airport roughly every six hours for at least four months out of the year.

The 010 degree wind can still drive the snow off the peninsula in winthrop into the bay..before it's measured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ag3 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 0z rgem from last night had the big precip by Kevin and the RI screwhole. It was a bit too low for NJ and the NYC area, but look how generally great the model did: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 The 010 degree wind can still drive the snow off the peninsula in winthrop into the bay..before it's measured. 010 wind has little effect there and temps dropped below 32 late aftn so I think that's a non-issue. JMHO. You are only as good as your geographical location and with wind..I bet that was part of the issue. I know they had mroe than 0.3"/hr last night when it was coming down good.

SlantStickers Anonymous Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Looks to be done here, last measurement was about 15-16" so probably ended up about 16", maybe a little more? Regardless that was awesome. Lol my street was not touched at all, looks like they're just going to wait for it to melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
