Damage In Tolland Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 What are you up to? I just came home from Springfield and it looks like 2-3" here. I've been watching the radar and it looks like we've been under some light bands for most of the day. Yeah it's snowed the entire day. Different intensities. It burst for 10 minutes..then light..then burst again. just under 3 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 5.8" new 0.29" w.e. 3/4-1SM -SN right now with good snow growth. 20:1 ratios...not bad at all for almost a half foot. 2F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOSTA Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 It really is impossible to predict amounts even now. Essex County dumpage could subside later, places that have been screwgeed might cash in later and yet other locals will keep on keepin on. Huge wildcard is the Arctic environment that has swept over most of the area. Some very localized jacks and many will complain. 10.8°F and going down WC already below zero. This is special in that regard alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthCoastMA Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Will the bands north of here rotate down or will we be waiting for the stuff from the south? Winds need to turn more NNE soon, or else we'll be waiting for the main batch. Would've been nice to grab 3-5" inches before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Good lesson for the queens. qpf should never be taken literally Well honestly that looks like its in line with the QPF progged... looking at that pic, there's probably like 0.4" liquid in that 10-12" of transparent fluff (within the 0.25-0.5" range forecast for northern MA today). They certainly aren't at like 1" of QPF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 9F -SN/SN pretty good intensity the past 30 minutes but SG could be better. Flakes look like they've been through the meat grinder. 3" on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think they've seen more QPF than modeled? To me is just looks like maximizing snow growth with big ratios. I'd be interested to see a core out of those 8-12" fluff zones. That twitter pic literally looked like 30:1 to me...like where 0.5" QPF produces 15" of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmcfarland99 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Blizzard warning posted for coastal Maine counties through 10 am Friday.

mattb65 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'm at 5" and I'm about 7 miles NW of Ray. Your call was 6-8"? or 8-10"? Either way looks like you're in for a solid positive bust :-) Congrats! Measured around 4.3" best guess here but intensity has definitely picked up again and snow is blowing all over the place. We had a long period of really light stuff after the good band came through this morning. Was thinking 12" here before today but based on the strong performance from the daytime OES and WAA I'm leaning closer to 14-16" once all is said and done.

But I've prolly gotten 3.5 of the 5 just out of ocean enhancement which I didn't believe would make it back this far west. I grew up in Peabody, so I know what OES snow looks like and this is the first time in my 20 years in Lowell that I can remember seeing this much of it. Still coming down!
