moneypitmike Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 No.everytime I connected the data logger the console stopped receiving a signal and wouldn't transmit current obs. I'm gonna need someone to come here and help me. Too dumb and too frustrating I had a problem with mine--stopped reporting to both weatherlink and wunderground. The support folks at Davis were able to walk me through it and had it fixed in about 20 minutes. Worth the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfishsnowman Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 i dont know about these reports of up to 8.5 inches in the area......i think six is fair around here and cant see how it can vary that much.....the over reporting, slant sticking and drift measurements never end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 My corner of North Andover/Middleton/Boxford, MA. After settling, in undrifted area, the snow measured 14.5 inches this morning in the same area I was measuring 16 last night. Here are some picture of the morning after. Some of them from the same vantage points of last night's murky shots. Some other shots of the street. http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/gallery/album/33-morning-after-01032014/ Shoveling, it was easy to tell what was drifted and what wasn't. A clear case where 6 hr clearing prob would have given u 20" but that fluff stuff compacts big timePpl That just wake up and look around and see 6" OTG now will prob complain of their neighbors slant sticking 9" when w/o compaction and settling that is accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Lol. It's really not that bad. But the teams are arriving. They're looking for people to go on air now is your chance James Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesnichols1989 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 It snowing heavier than what the DBZ would indicate, this is the cold air wringing out any available moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I think we managed 10:1 for the entire event. The snow is very dry, almost a sand consistency, with zero fluff factor. Lots of grains, needles, and columns. I thought everybody in CT would see 20:1 and nothing less than 8-9"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazey Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Congrats to all you guys. Pics look awesome. The storm continues to rage here. Have 8" down and forecast is for another 4-8". Amazing storm. One I won't soon forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I thought everybody in CT would see 20:1 and nothing less than 8-9"?

codfishsnowman Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 to me the most interesting aspect of the three sig snows ive observed this season is the very to bitter cold temps in which the snow fell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yup.... this is what I've written down for accurate reports. Southington - 5" West Hartford 5" Collinsville 5.2" Windsor Locks 5.0" Coventry 7.5" Tolland 7.3"* Columbia 5.0" Avon 5.0" Pomfret 5.0" Winsted 8.0" Storrs 5.0" I'd be interested to know where that Pomfret mark is as the town line is just north of me by a mile. Picked up 6.75" here and I feel that I due a pretty accurate job measuring, and clearing the board, etc. Edit: I saw the HAM radio report from Brooklyn with all of the other public information spits with 6.5". That makes my 6.75" total jive better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 That shrewsbury report looks way off. Westborough 2 miles east had 6 There's always an inflated report that comes out of there...not sure where its measured. There's going to be at least some variability though in the measurements with the extreme drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackymann Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I shoveled around 4 inches yesterday afternoon, and another 6 today. I'm guessing if I hadn't cleared it, we would've had around 8 total here in S. Chelmsford. I didn't venture into my yard to get a more accurate measurement. The snow I shoveled yesterday was MUCH fluffier and lighter. This morning the snow was pretty compacted. It was still easier to move than the concrete we often get in these parts, but not nearly as fluffy as I thought it would be. Yesterday's snow reminded me more of the lake effect snow we used to get in Syracuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's going to be at least some variability though in the measurements with the extreme drifting. I can't with confidence give a number. But somewhere around 13-15 based on surrounding reports and some measurements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our friend ma_blizzard measured like 9 inches in Shrewsbury. Combined with 10" in ORH and the 6" report in Westborough (which seems a bit low on the other end), the 12.5 seems a tad high, but who knows.

That's the immediate town to the east. I do recall a bit of better banding in shrewsbury and Worcester but not enough to account for double...

Interesting, I seem to remember that being said a couple days ago. We did manage 20:1 for the duration up here though. 11.6" at PWM from 0.57".

We did manage 20:1 for the duration up here though. 11.6" at PWM from 0.57". I wonder if the ASOS had trouble catching some of the snow...like in BOS, I am doubting the liquid equivalent. I was here yesterday and back in today for work and the stuff isn't 25 or 30 to 1 snow...its def light, but looks more on the order of 15 or 18 to 1. And I'll add it does look like at least a foot fell...so its not like it looks like 18 to 1 after it compacted to 8 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 10.5 inches total. Compacted since. Had a drift that completely covered my car up to the windows on one side. Pretty cool stuff. Frigid too. Went to bed around midnight with 7-8.... Didn't do that well coming down the home stretch. Bob seems to have done a bit better than me, which makes complete sense with him being further east. It snowed really hard for a good time last night, thought we may have better to show. Awesome storm nonetheless, won't ever forget this one even with snow totals not being huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
