Damage In Tolland Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Ryan will appreciate this. My best friend in life is a plow operator. He called after plowing for fourty hours straight. I asked him about his accumulations, he said about7- 8 in Westerly where he plows. I asked him about home in Hopkinton RI, he said about 4 inches, I have said that's It? I saw a couple of 8 inch reports, he said I measured today, lol I spent a good ten minutes explaining settling, sublimation 36,hours after the last snow fell. He did tell me about some 6-10 foot drifts near the Westerly Airport in the parking lot he plows, said between 2 am and 4 am it was blizzard conditions right near the ocean.Was Barry drunk?

powderfreak Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I took a walk at 1am and it was blizzard conditions no doubt. I don't know why BOX got cute with their warnings. Awesome though, I would've done the same thing, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yep, I have scrutinized a lot fo that data, and you learn which coops to trust for good data. Hubbdave was prob looking at the old Huddardston coop which is one of the unreliable ones with a crap ton of missing data. It went defunct in 1980.Also the Barre Falls Dam one. Similar averages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Also the Barre Falls Dam one. Similar averages That's another unreliable snow dataset....but also that coop is lower down and pretty far west so their snow will be lower anyway. The Gardner coop is probably the one you'd want to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Did a lot of weenie driving today, some nice weenie jackpots around. Pure winter day, top ten for sure. Great to see folks out cross country skiing, ice fishing, sledding, ice skating. Nice bonfire on the ice. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 A certain someone might want to browse the coop data and notice that many stations have March has a higher snow total avg than December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Just pure winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skivt2 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Sweet...so we really are the only area suffering below normal snowfall so far, haha. The worm will turn at some point I hope. Maybe one of those 5 feet in 7 days type patterns like Feb 2009. That would help. Except last torch you kept what you had while the ice froze it over and other mountains lost what they had all together. Everyone down here at Killington is trashing their skis trying to ski woods on a base of fluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 . Yeah. I looked at that. Similar to what you thought I avg. The Gardner mean was 75.1"...that's probably pretty close to your average. Ashburnham averages like 78-79", but they are in a better spot than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that they average more than many shadowed areas deep into NH like Plymouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Interesting that they average more than many shadowed areas deep into NH like Plymouth Well those areas like N ORH county are like 1100-1200 feet with favorable orographics. Plymouth NH is an ugly spot for storms with decent E or NE flow. They do better on things like SWFE with light winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Sort of a SWFE look on the GFS. It's depiction will change some. Leon definitely wasn't running the 00z GFS... flips many south of the Pike to rain Thu/Fri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Leon definitely wasn't running the 00z GFS... flips many south of the Pike to rain Thu/Fri. Leon did run the 06z GFS with the Miller B redeveloper on MLK Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy4Confluence Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'm liking MLK ands beyond for the fresh reload. Next week is cold, week after mild,MLK week cold and snowy. Yep and the 6z gfs seems to soften the blow of the torch you refer to for week after next. Like CT Rain suggested, Leon may have broken into the NOAA IT department and hijacked this one.

Damage In Tolland Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 What are mets thoughts on Thursday/ Friday storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Still too early to say. It looks like SWFE type with snow to start and maybe some sort of a mix south of the pike or something like that. GFS is more robust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 is it one of those deals where the following day torches? Or can we sneak in one more cold shot after? No we warm after. GFS tries to cool us off, but not sure I buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radarman Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I like the lack of spread on the 00z gefs for the -EPO ridge to return off the W coast around the 18th, along with a Hudson Bay vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every piece of guidance has these features, but a little spread on intensity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
