MarkO Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'd say about a foot, give or take an inch. Had about six before I left for the game, got about 2 more by the time I got home around midnight and another 4 or so since then. Temp hovered around zero!

Cold Miser Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 This is the heaviest"fluffiest" snow I've ever seen. I mean this stuff has some serious weight to it.very dense..I was shocked. Maybe some of it will survive the Torch MondayDefinitely. I think Ryan's sand analogy is a good one. Very surprised at BDL over 9" btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briz600 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Man its too cold to shovel. 12" with 2' drifts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Don't know how much because of extreme drifting but at least 18 I think maybe 20+. Nice shots, Scott. This storm will give you a boost in KevinMA's snow totals board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Well Al Roker just said the ratios were 30:1 and that's why there is so much snow in Boston. Yeah I wonder if that's ASOS liquid or an actual core? The ASOS amounts won't be close. But yeah cold has something to do with it, but it's all banding, lift, and dynamics. You need to be below freezing, but aside from that it doesn't matter too much what the SFC is. Just look at Oct 2011 when some folks in northern/western MA and parts of NH/VT were ripping 20:1 snow at 29-32F. To me it is purely snowflake type driven and as long as you are not melting at the surface, that low level temp is irrelevant. In this case though for eastern MA, the ocean enhancement was able to act on the great snow growth in the low levels (much like our upslope here can when 850s are in that -10C to -18C range. I think that really helped them in this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Snow intensity has picked back up here as vis. has gone down.. Bottomed out at 0.6..now up to 3.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfishsnowman Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 i just watched live footage on necn out of boxford, it really didnt look like two feet. maybe. foot and a half but im not there so how would i know. i wonder if that 23.8 is a depth or board clearing measurement....i made some noise last feb about wind destroying ratois before the mega band moved in. seems like the only places that really maximized the fluff factor was the oes areas and select waa spots yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I was thinking how dense it was too. Tiny needle flakes packed in tightly made it heavy. Shoveling the first two inches was real work. Now there's six more and its crazy cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 It is -15.6F here at 1550ft and still snowing lightly. How low can I go and still get flakes to come from the sky? I noticed SLK started reporting Haze, probably light snow but the ASOS doesn't know what to make of the small particle size and reduced vis.

MJHUB Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 i went to bed at midnight and it seemed like I doubled my snow from midnight to 6 this morning. drifts up to 2 1/2 feet. no idea on actual depth blowing snow everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 7.5" here in my yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Will have to measure in a bit. There's no way I can come up with a number from the hill. Will have to head back a bit. In the end we got a few good hours but I still don't know about 10". If this continued for a couple of hours sure.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Any verification on some of those high numbers in Mass last night - 18 or even 20 inches plus? Going to be very hard. I would like to see photos of streets worth of cars buried..,kind of like what I did in 05. It's too easy for one yard or area to get buried. This will go down here as the most impossible storm to measure. I am hoping back in some or the wooded clearings there is less disturbance. I have legitimate 6+ drifts but also bare spots.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Frankly speaking I don't know how anyone can measure this accurately down here. I would love to see the snow board measurements photos in their "natural" settings. There's just no adjacent areas with anywhere near similar totals. What's the procedure in those cases? 16 degrees with heavy oes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Looks like 8.5" here. Dang hard to measure. Low temp was -2.0 Impressive pics by Scooter. Coastal pics and videos are great. Fun event Ray, ya crushed me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I underdid the waa/oes combo in round 1, but round 2 acted about exactly as I had surmised. Substinance-city to the nw of Boston. 5" from 5:30pm onward last night....round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
