40/70 Benchmark Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Blown away by this... If it ended now with my 7" and temps at -1F, I'm amazed we combined snow with temperatures like this ... I frequent Barrow Alaska, and various sites in ND, and we tie them. It's -2 here with .25 vis in blowing dust and S-. It's an unusual winter getting those climes down this way. I was stunned when the NAM suggested this two nights ago, and here we are. Very memorable event indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 i measured an avg snow depth of ~3.5" - 4" .. surprisingly it has some weight to it, i wonder what the ratios have been out here. can't be better than 12-1, maybe 15-1 ratio at bestYeah I was thinking 12-1. Just never really had great rates here or more than -SN. Prob 6-7" total by the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ma blizzard Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yeah I was thinking 12-1. Just never really had great rates here or more than -SN. Prob 6-7" total by the end.yeah, I could see another 2" at most if snow growth / rates continue to be like this .. or 4"-5" if it ramps up soon, which I think there might be some potential. some banding overhead is producing slightly better flakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The wind is packing this snow. Reminds me of a Jan 2005...a compressed dry snow. Not the fake upslope stuff they had earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 wtf happened to the synoptic snows? All low level oes. Everything else died.

wxsniss Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Doesn't really elaborate on overnight hours... steady moderate snow up to about Boston thru 7am, tapers by 10am, shut off by noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I was just out in this for 20 minutes and the combo of wind, snow and temps is the most brutal I've been in around here. Its different than a clear, cold -10F or even a CAA -2F....its moist outside so it cuts that much more through your body when there is wind.

wx2fish Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 9.5" new 0.52" liquid -1.2F -SN Doing real well. Only 6.3" here. Ratios are definetly not real great. Lots of crappy SG. Snow is pretty packed and has been since this morning. Must be a pretty good snowpack up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Cyclogenesis is still in the process and the low is still pretty far south. You can see that as the low continues to deepen stronger banding is starting to wrap around the low. Even the latest NAM/GFS continue to indicate that the potential for some pretty strong banding across eastern MA will exist well past 7-8 AM tomorrow. There may be a lull with the heavier stuff but it's coming after 1-2 AM or so. Under any banding it's going to rip like crazy for a period of time and given how fluffy the snow is it will pile up quick. I keep thinking back to Feb 06 where the snow was so fluffy here that under the CCB I got 14'' in just 3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Blown away by this... If it ended now with my 7" and temps at -1F, I'm amazed we combined snow with temperatures like this ... I frequent Barrow Alaska, and various sites in ND, and we tie them. It's -2 here with .25 vis in blowing dust and S-. It's an unusual winter getting those climes down this way. I was stunned when the NAM suggested this two nights ago, and here we are. Remember this ... because in years to come, you might just say, "remember that one storm, back in early 2014, when it was below zero and snowed a foot?" I am hoping Jerry and I are around for Leon's 3 pete in 2034, Shot hour. Just amazing, radar looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
