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

Yeah that evening had very heavy snows. We slowed down here too while the Cape got their ass handed to them. Then your death band got us.

Most severe sensible weather I have ever bee in was last Feb, so we'll see what this has.

 

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.

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.

I'm sorry, but that event just blew Jan 2005 out of the water imby.

Not close.

Nothing compares to 3/93 in terms of drifting and wind, but that was the worst combo of elements for me.

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.

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)

Yeah for you I understand. 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.

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.

 

 

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.

FORECAST  for ct and all of ct is 12 to 18 inches of snowfall with thunder snow to . I dont know where some weather people arent going more snowfall than they are forecasting . Models have been slow for this storm not good . look at the weather pattern not just models . i get my forecast from two people jb and steve d . they are good .

That's really impressive. The dynamics in that went nuts that evening. H7 closed and dug for oil overhead.
