TheSnowman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 With all this talk about Foxboro being a Fantastic spot to be in SNE for winters, can I just through in that I'm 10 miles from there? Though they murdered me in the Fujiwawa. 12 to 24. Lost big time in those 10 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Sometimes you guys even in Wilmington get that "indirect" ocean effect snow. It occurs when your winds are north, but aloft at like 950 or 900mb winds are ESE. You get an overrunning kind of deal hence "indirect" OES. Doesn';t add to a lot..but will add to totals or precede a main snow shield. See Jan 2005 just east of you. I remember that. I sprinted out to the early lead in the event, hit like 9" of fluff after only a few hours. Down hill after that until the death band, but...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Scooter and I have been "asleep" for like 2 hours lol I know...I'm out. On that note, GEFS looked a little better than 18z on a glance. I can't see total QPF yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rare to have some mod to heavy snows in the single digits with 40kt winds, but parts of the area will do that tomorrow night. The winds won't be like last Feb at all, but temps will be colder though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Most of Foxboro's advantage is elevation and promixity to the coastal front in many of our storms. OES is probably relatively minor, but they do get it...prob mostly ocean enhancement rather than pure OES to meso-semantic you to death. I specifically recall them getting hit in the 2/16/96 event when the rest of dryslotted horribly, and they were pounding away and got over a foot.Pretty much what i was saying enhancement or oes is minor factor there.Now there is a decent cf is modeled thou, i haven't paid much attention to its location on s shore as n shore. ( which is a bit se of where i often see it) I would say this is a sshore special w sharp cut off between foxboro and Abington. .02 cents . If 0z gfs (better mid level low trends catches on and verifys) (big if) then this would lessen the % difference in those two locale's imo. Either way NBD, just harmless disco.

Early March of 2005 I was walking up Corey hill in extreme conds and feared for my life.You lost an ear? Lol , you know I was just thinking watching this start to pile up. Like PFs .1 GFS qpf days that accumulate 3-4 inches, this could be more than what I think. Bufkit is pretty nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing compares to 3/93 in terms of drifting and wind, but that was the worst combo of elements for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Early March of 2005 I was walking up Corey hill in extreme conds and eared form life.Yeah I think that was my scariest winter conditions. Helped push a guy in his car up a snow covered hill while he kept on the gas in blizz conditions. I was just coming back from the gym too. After he got back up I finished the walk home gasping for air with the 45mph +SN slamming me in the face. I haven't been in conditions like that often.

DomNH Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Definitely jealous of you guys near the water that are gonna see the blizzard conditions and single digit temps. Rooting for lame-azz WAA snows to pile up to 6'' over 12 hours isn't as fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. OF PIKE Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Not thrilled that im still in n conway but it will be very cool to see how this tallies up in the am. Looks like waa snows are gonna be at least high end advisory for n ma , i do have concerns rev is gonna be a complete mess in this storm, long duration meh is possible there. Tolland has had an uncanny ability to avoid a screwgie recently, this run may come to an end (sorry rev) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact if Iived at my parents last feb, I think it would have been scariest too as half the woods were being blown down. But your death band with 70mph winds and temps near 10F....nothing comes close to Jan '05 for me. When I mean not fit for man nor beast..I mean it.

CoastalWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 March '05 is up there. Nothing like opening your window up to hear the wind as it comes through and hear the sound of a pine crack. That's real man stuff right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Crushjob coming. Someone hits 20". I think its coming together for a South Shore suburb well. I still think someone sees a rather palty total in the CT region. I'm worried Bout that. However, GFS argues against it which should make people in Hartford area feel better. I'd say 5-10" for that region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's real man stuff right there. Brought down a 30 foot tree on winter hill. That's when I measured 64mph gust with a crappy anemometer not at 10m...more like 2-3m. Never seen such a flash freeze and then 6-7" of snow in about 3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The Flash freeze event. Worst 6" snowstorm of my life. The wind/snow combo was up there in that. That was even a crazy system down on Long Island-5" of snow in about 2-3 hours and just wicked conditions. I think that maxed out in the Green Mountains and toward Montreal?
