Visibility sucked from a safety standpoint. From a weather standpoint, it was great. Heavy snow/blowing snow. Plow hadn't been by in a few hours so several inches of snow on the roads.....a lone of tracks served as a guide to keep me on the road. Nice little storm even if I'm only giong to get a 1/3 of the jackpot. 5.4/-5, probably closing in on 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowMan Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 We might be hosed for warning criteria here. 8'' in 24 hours is going to be a stretch.Not sure. I think we get into the good stuff later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semper911 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 ... love it when folks just get ripped with snow. Kevin, I've said it before and I'll say it again: you are right more than you are wrong. And all the drama and banter helps makes this board what it is. Congrats on your wild prediction, and keep it up -- it wouldn't be the same here without you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yea I had no idea the OES was going to be this incredible thus far. 30" totals are definitely in play in Essex County. To have 15" inch amounts under what look like 20-25 dBZ echoes all day is rather impressive but not surprising given the dendritic snow growth being down to the ocean floor. Measurements are going to be all over the place. Besides the problem with wind when you have snow at 5-10F the "fluff" factor really comes into play. New snow weighs down the column so while it snows it compresses. Waiting and taking a final measurement is going to give you a very different result then clearing the snowboard every 3 or 6 hours.

dendrite Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'm safe in Boston. That was.... The WORST DRIVE EVER BY A MILE!!!! Accident on 95, could barely get going from a standstill, EVERY Road from RI to Boston was covered in 0.5" of hard icy snow, no matter the Highway or back road. Unbelievable what happens when it scores even a little BUT the temperature is under 20*. When snow does Not melt, Total Disasters occur. Unless it's cold enough so that the snow blows right off of the highways like it did here today. No salting FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I wish that were the truth here, but we woke to 1" this morning and it's been doing nothing but pixie dusting here all day. I just walked out in my yard and took 3 different random measurements and it was all about 2". geez. You should be getting some of the better stuff soon.

But I agree...there will be big differences in reports over short distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about the same here--just tried measuring for whatever that was worth. I'm coming up with 6" but really it's at best close with all the blowing going on. I didn't pass a single car when I dropped my daughters friend off. Oh, wait a minute. This is GC--we don't pass a car 90% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yukon Cornelius Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Are you sw of any higher hills? No, we're actually sitting at about 1,000ft...so I think maybe we're just a bit too far west and south of where anything has been really happening today...??

TalcottWx Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 TWC plays around with their stormcon index, they say we are at an 8 STORM:CON 8 to 9Impacts would close down commerce/travel for multiple days, typically reserved for biggest storms which might occur 3 to 4 times a year. P.S. Cantore appears to be at Atlantic Ave and High Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
