40/70 Benchmark Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 There will be 20"+ reports coming from Essex Co. with this one. 10"+ should be common. I wonder if the east side of Wilmington is in on that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I can confirm that if we aren't at 8 inches, we are pretty close to it in Essex county. Got into my office on 114 in North Andover, near Merrimack College, 2 hours ago, and there was probably 4 inches on the ground. Just went out to clean it off, and have at least 3 new since then. The lightest, fluffiest snow I can ever remember. Live in Andover, about 2 miles from here and it's pretty much the same. That's awesome, I'm really rooting for someone to get 2 feet..... Don't think it's going to be down this way though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dotb Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I wonder if the east side of Wilmington is in on that... I can't imagine it'll be much different. Flake size has gotten progressively better all day here. Not sure what time you left the house for work, but I think you'll be surprised when you get back. I drove 93 from Andover to Somerville this morning, and the cutoff where it was heavier seemed to be around 128. That was about 11 this morning, and then drove back to the office from there and got here around noon, and it's only picked up more since then.

Damage In Tolland Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Eric Fisher @ericfisher1m The snow even in downtown #Boston is like Utah powder! Incredibly dry stuff. Ratios will be 20:1 for many towns. Easily blown around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlantStickers Anonymous Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 6-7" here as well, the drifting made it necessary to look around for a while to find undisturbed areas, drifts are a foot deep up against the house, and some areas particularly exposed to the wind only have around 4" Street still covered, moderate snow, 18 degrees, EMA special underway.

dan11295 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I checked the obs out of BED and LWM for 1/23/05, lowest temps during that event were 9 degrees at both locations. Getting a significant snowfall in these parts with temps under 10 is fairly rare. Obvious this event wont compare at all wrt snowfall and winds but was just looking for other events with such cold temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walthsnow Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Moderate snow in Waltham, looks like approaching about 4 inches. Coldest snow storm I have ever been a part of (Moved up here from Florida in 2009). 10F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Band looks good right now on the south end of 128. Convergence combining with OES to bring some of the heaviest snow of the day to a new area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I would think looking at twdr radar there could be sign diff. Between ne and sw sides of Wilmington. Peabody as well, but who knows, impressed Peabody has 7 bc radar is much brighter on twdr about 5 to 15 miles due north (along 95) Like some obs outta Georgetown , 10 prolly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesnichols1989 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Models 4mb too weak with the surface low at 18z. 18z models had the low around 1008mb, and around 00z tonight the models had the low still at 1008mb, while the low at 19z is over southern WV at around 1004.8mb and pressures all around the area of VA, WV and NC around 1007mb. Much deeper overall than the models indicated. What this means is a potential stronger and deeper low before it moves off the coast. Could mean more snow further north.
